My Muslim colleagues are back from their Hari Raya holidays.
One of them, whom I addressed as Abang Ros (elder brother Ros), will always bring us some of their festive delicacies, the whole set is named "Kueh Raya".

Kueh Raya from my colleague, Abang Ros this Hari Raya, 2011 (picture taken by me today)
Abang Ros is back from his celebration
Same as before, he will give us a present
Packed in nice container, cakes and cookies
Some made by his wife and some by relatives
As the only female, I am always the one to take care
Make sure the guys know and remember to have the share
Also to ensure the lid, upon closing has the ”tiak tiak” sound
Else, cookies will turn soft, cakes turn hard, not as good as now
I take a piece of each and find them very sweet for my teeth
Although they are very delicious and also look quite attractive
Very soon the container shall be empty, I will wash it and return
Container will be kept at Ros’ house again, to be used for next turn

You may think that this set is the same as above, but no, it’s different altogether, only the centre one is the same, this photo was taken by me in 2010, as the container is the same only.
