Finally, after being in the UK for 3 years and promising to both Reky and Huda that I would come to visit them and all the time having to postpone my trip...I finally got to visit :)

I spent Eid al-Adha with Reky in Leeds and met some other Indonesians there and went to their Eid gathering before I moved on to Sheffield to spend time with my dear Huda and her family. It was my first time seeing Nawal again since she was an itty bitty baby...and she's so adorable and cuddly and sweet. Fuaadi has grown so much too, and is as "ceriwis" as ever :)

It was great to be able to spend time with Huda - it was like the good old days of college dorm life. Having late night "curhat" sessions...giggling and chatting. And she taught me how to make heavenly carrot cake (for recipe click here)

It was a very short trip and I wish I could've stayed longer. Insha Allah when I get the chance I will come and visit again and spend more time with them.
