i'm officially sick and tired of hari raya visitng man. i kept going on hari raya visits to relatives' houses and more of them. aiyoh..so sick that i'm seriously suffering a hangover from too much soft drinks, kuehs and what nots. now, i'n just relieved that all the visiting is over except for a few more open houses...but then they are all my aunts' houses which are very very near to my house.

wild wild wet was fun. although there were abt five of us, it was still fun nonetheless cos it's easier to talk and not leave anyone out.but all good things have to come to an end. quite disappointed that the day had to end...but then i really really hope that we could have the sleepover. =)

okay i'm going on an all-girls' holiday to A'Famosa in Malacca. ahhhh, so fun. can u imagine living in a theree room bungalow with a pool all to yourself. the best part is that there will be no adults..i mean it's only us...my cousins and kak effeana and kak tini. can't wait for that.

it was not a bed of roses to persuade the adults..my aunts and uncles...to let us go to this trip. it's the usual excuses that we're all girls and there will be no adults or guys to look after us. blah blah blah...like whatever. we can so take care of ouselves, thank yuo very much. i mean if u really want to think abt it, everything in life has dangers, whether we realise it or not. but it's up to us to take the necesary precautions. as what my uncle puts it, bertawakal ajelah.

so yup i'll be going off on wednesday...1st dec..so hello A'Famosa. Goodbye S'pore Idol. make sure u pple out there vote for taufik okay..he's a real gem..very hard to find...

i'm quite tired. spent a good deal today baking chocolate chip cookies cos they have long vanished and now resting in ppl'es stomachs and there will be none for the rest of relatives who have yet to come to my house. majority of them have not even come to my house actually. my relatives from my paternal side are coming over to my house tmr at night...my first open house of during hari raya...there's 2 more to go...one for my mum's siblings and my cousins, the other, my mum's cousins.

this is what u get if u have a gigantic family. there are abt 200 relatives on my mum's side...and are located all over s'pore. to think that they don't even know me, but i was proved wrong. my relatives tend to know everyone although there's like so many pple. that's why my parents always tell me not to misbehave in public or do anyhting yang tak senonoh, that's according to my mum lah cos i'm always under the "watchful" eyes of my relatives.

to tell u the truth, ihave no idea why i did the above...this is what happens when boredom strikes.

getting ready for hari raya visitinng with my family is a very time-consuming process. for me at least.

Half an hour will be spent deciding on what clothes to wear..

the peach one

or the black one

weighing the pros and cons and comparing the two clothes,

finally the black one was chosen after much tinkering

but, that's not the end yet. another half an hour was spent ironing the black one and a matching tudung until not a single crease could be seen. add another 45 minutes for putting everyhting together and getting ready. Total time spent: 1 h 45 min. =D

no wonder i'm always late to meet my friends for jalan raya for the past few years.

okay..i have already gained the weight that i lost during the fasting month. i have seriously been eating a lot for the past 2 days. hmmm, eating ketupat, sambal goreng, nasi beriyani and what nots. haha..okay, all these food is making my stomach grumble again.

i have a lot of fun these past few days though the first day was a bit boring. yahlah cos i went to my relatives' houses on my paternal side and i'm really not close to them. just now was more fun cos i went out with everyone on my mother's side..went to visit my grandaunts. took lotsa pics. =D

personally, i felt that hari raya this year is different as this is the first time i'm cellebrating it without my grandfather. somehow...it is just different. the takbir never fails to bring tears to my eyes. maybe it's because i'm sad that ramadhan is over and i myself am not sure if i'm able to go through the next fasting month again..anything can happen, right?

okaylah..some pics that i took over the 2 days of hari raya.....

sighz...just when i thought that pw is finally over, i'm suddenly bogged down with 2 noms. haiyoh....looks like i have to fake them. what's the one thing that u have learnt from pw? faking notes of meeting.

i think my phone has gone bonkers. i was supposed to have pw meeting today to do the final touch-up to our gpf but i didn't get any messages. not one but two of my group members messaged me but no, i didn't receive any smses. hmmm maybe it's because i haven't paid my bills yet...aiyouh..so lazy lah to go and queue up. maybe i'll do it tmr after sch.

i still haven't found a matching tudung to wear for hari raya yet. i'll go out on thurs then with my sis...but before i go out, i'll have to clean the house. if not the tarzan at home will scream her lungs out.hehe

i was awakneed today by cik fae's voice. she came to my house today with farrah to collect some two dollar notes from my mum for hari raya. my little cousin, farrah never fails to crack me up with her antics. haha, she even knows how to pose by slanting her shoulders. she's just so cute la.

hmmm i have a pressing problem...should i skip sch during the first week of raya since my friends have already planned to go out for our annual hari raya visiting during that week. some of u might wonder why we want to have it so early on. the reason is simple: most of us are going off for holidays, ocpip trip, cip trips and what nots. also it's to accomodate our dear friend whos's going back to malaysia on the 2oth of nov..i think cos her lessons will resume the week after.hmmm...u noe what, i think i might as well skip sch..haha...there's so much more to life than academics...friends are more important..=). okay, yup...that's my final decision....

hmm..hari raya is in like a week's time or so but somehow i dunno why i'm not in the festive mood yet. somehow, this year's hari raya is just different, maybe because it's the first time i'm celebrating it without a loved one...i dunno and also because two of my cousins are in the midst of a very important exam now.

maybe the song will help enliven my festive mood. one of my all time favourite hari raya songs...quite sad ah the song....

anyway, to my darling cousins...korang nak pakai baju ape on the first day of raya...baju sendiri2 or the kebaya pendek which we tailored together....to nurul and izzah...is it already confirmed that u're not jalaning raya on the second day cos both of u have a paper on the third day of raya right?hmmm..never mind, we'll discuss it on malam raya..wait a min..isn't that what we always do every year? okaylah i just wanna say that i miss u gems so very the much...haha...nampaknya we'll just see one another kat rumah nenek pagi raya...nurul and izzah...hang in there and it'll all be over okay..then can enjoy....=)

my disappearance from the blogging world for a while may be because of two reasons: i'm too sick to update cos i've been plagued by different kinds of illnesses this fasting month but i should be thankful and gratful that i'm still alive. the other reason is that i'm busy baking cookies for hari raya..yup..no one to help my mum cos my first sis practically treats the house as a hotel..hmmm maybe i shouldn't be too cynical cos her exams are coming..but then...her presence doesn't matter cos she's always not at home and i've grown accustomed to it.

i'm now finally able to heave a sigh of relief cos pw is finally over. today finally marks the historic end of my wonderful and arduous journey in pw. in retrospect, i will miss it...the endless meetings that i had with my group members, racking our brain and drying up our creative juices for ideas relevant to the project. not to forget the sllepless nights of doing oral presntattions, written report, notes of meetings and what nots. most importantly, i will never forget the close bonds i've forged with my fellow group emembers albeit some angst and irritation involved in the course of completing the project. to a certain extent, pw has made me closer to my fellow classmates as we spend time complaining to one another abr our feelow group member...haha i think that goes without saying. overall i think my group did pretty well for the op as well as the q&a but i really have to give quaiyum a standing ovation..he was simply awesome...the way he carried himself was so charismatic....what a way to end the day's presentation!!

it was an all-girls' day out yesterday with my mum and sisters. destination: geylang, to be more specific, tanjong katong complex and haig road. first stop was this juih shop where my mum brought all the relevant ingredients to bake cookies. next was to collect my hari raya baju. hmm...the baju is not bad lah...quite nice..wait..very nice! haha. next wanted to find a matching tudung for our hari raya baju but saw none to our liking....in the end we ended up buying tudung of different colours since we do not have those colours in our present collection of tudung. ended up buying everthing else aside from what we set out to buy..bought brooches starting with the letter of name and my sisters' initials and i got a pair of baju kurung half sponsored by my mummy!!!finally found one that i really like.my sis bought the nokia 7610 phone..jealous sey cos the phone has superb functions....
