Hari Raya 2007

This is the 1st Hari Raya that I’m celebrating away from Singapore and my family. It felt kinda odd because I have been so used to be in the company of friends and family during this festive season, be it doing spring cleaning, soaking in the atmosphere of Geylang Serai, breaking fast together gether or having Hari Raya songs play incessantly throughout the month. We had our very own celebration here, so it made missing home to be with our loved ones more tolerable. We had it at Nisa's house, where they invited more than 70 people! This was where the malays of Singapore and Malaysia congregated and plotted another 9/11 strike! Haha yah right. So we had a massive task of cooking/rewang and cleaning the house. They recruited the help of moi of course, and many more people. So my helpful and cleaning instincts kicked in and I was awarded the worker of the year! Hahaha! Which was later stolen by some other brats who got jealous and wanted the title for themselves.

Me and Azina, having our 'shift break' late in the night. I was damn bloody tired. Had work the night before, uni the next morning, worked again after that, and went to help out right after.

We all watched in awe as Aziz cleaned the ceiling fan.

Bathtub scrubbers!

Yum... Lemak lontong....


Yum yum... Rendang...

Yum yum yum.... Dont know what's the name but bloody yum!

Rizzy and Nissy celebrating our 1st Hari Raya together in Brissy! I didn't stay long though as I had to rush off to work. Urgh. But it was fine, as my agency later complimented me on a job well done for my shift! =)

Ahem ahem

Apparently, I have caused a little bit of uproar about me scoffing at my hometown in my previous post. Well I’m not taking back any thing I said. That’s because I feel that my absence has somewhat made my friends in Singapore forget that I celebrate Hari Raya and that Hari Raya is a MAJOR festive season mind you particularly in Singapore. Whatever. Pathetic.

Anyway, I’M GOING TO SEE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE LIVE IN CONCERT IN A WEEK’S TIME!!!!! I’m grinning and giggling like a little schoolgirl as I’m typing this… Lalala…. I have a huge assignment now, which is to memorise all the lyrics to his songs...
