::There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.::

this time around? mmg lain dari yg lain.

this year, no family pic (sbb by the time kitorg nak amik gambar, anak buah aku nazreen dah meragam nak tido... ceh, sapa suh bangun awal2 pagi. ceh kat kitorg jugak aa, penat2 set tripod, last2 x guna pun..). not even a decent extended family pic (x ingat kenapa). byk gambar2 ngarut je.

also, bapak aku masuk hospital! pagi 2nd day raya, bapak aku ngadu sesak nafas (don't ask me how it happened, aku mmg tgh tido lagi time tu erk), mula2 gi klinik doc ckp gastrik. we were like, gastrik time raya? bapaku? no no no... due to lack of proper equipment to confirm anything, they referred him to hospital serdang. so mak n abang aku pun bawak bapaku ke serdang. mmg satu pagi tu aku duk rumah je, tunggu calls fr mak aku (yg sgt kerap okay, nasib baik cordless heheh). last2 baru tau, kena heart attack.

so until last friday, mmg ulang-alik ke hospital je kami. nak beraya pun x berapa beraya sgt, org nak beraya pun segan sume. tapi alhamdulillah la so far ok, he's scheduled to undergo angiogram in 1-mth time. blessings in disguise actually, sbb dah mula nak kurangkan bilangan rokok. better late than never i'd say. kdg2 lawak lak dgr mak aku bebel kalau nampak bapak aku capai rokok ke, minum alicafe / powerroot lebih ke. selalu x kisah pun haha.

but despite all that, ok la raya kali ni. makan as usual sedap, as expected of my makciks yg terer masak belaka. ada bbq lagi. tapi seriously x rasa mcm balik kg ke apa, sbb kampung pun dah kat senawang dah, itu pun 1st raya je. lepas2 tu sume round kl, since byk cousins aku duk kl/bangi sekarang. mcm berkunjung ke rumah jiran je haha. ok la kan, daripada beraya sorg2.

also, this raya membuatkan aku lebih appreciate raya. sbbnya ada cousin aku yg 1st time raya dgn mertua, dia cite aa sedih gila kat kg laki dia time raya xde sambal kacang pun. 1st time aku dgr org time raya the special dish is ketupat palas dgn kari, n bihun sup. sampai nangis2 ajak laki dia balik kulai. hahaha kesian gak aku dgr. pastu mak aku pun bukak cerita, pernah dulu2 dia beraya kat perlis, makan ketupat dgn sambal ikan bilis (ke serunding je? either one la). and that was the 1st and last time diorg beraya kat sana (partly because arwah wan dgn maktuk aku ada je kat kulai, n yg kat perlis sedara / adik beradik bapak aku je). obviously i've taken things for granted, sejak kecik aku ingatkan kat mana2 pun mesti serve lemang, rendang, serunding, lodeh, etc. pastu tgk kat tv, ada sapetah ckp tido bergelimpangan kat ruang tamu tu tido gaya org johor. again, aku ingatkan itu perkara biasa di mana2. johor rocks!

note to self: time raya, makan la puas2. tapi jgn sampai berlebih2. family history dah ada dah tu heheh.

ok chiow.

finally kicking in

::hari raya menjelma kurasa sungguh gembira
khabarkan pada semua jangan lupa duit raya::

apsal rasa mengantuk semcm je hari ni?

hujankah?

makan bykkah?

terbangun awal dari biasakah?

then i remember sleeping in a tad too late last night, busy menggentel kuih choc chip.

mcm sedikit ganjil, membuat kuih raya sambil tgk CSI:NY, about holocaust no less.

sambung lagi mlm nih, lagi 1 adunan = close to 200 biji.

mungkin sambil tgk CSI:Miami.

whatever happened to Lost? nampak splash page, tapi bila tune in xde lak.

statistik x cukup lagi, tapi meja mcm memanggil2.

baju raya hampir siap. nak kena shopping cari tudung lak.

Eid Mubarak.

ok chiow.

::Sometimes people are layered like that. There's something totally different underneath than what's on the surface. But sometimes, there's a third, even deeper level, and that one is the same as the top surface one. Like with pie.::

had a group iftar with my uni friends last friday. got new additions, i.e. yg baru grad last year. so ok la kan, ada la org baru nak cite pasal kerja aku. kalau x, balik2, "kerja tpt sama lagi ke?" "ha'ah" "...". heheh nak buat mcm mana, aku bukannya involve dgn kerja yg deal with mega projects every now and then. what i'm doing today is what i'll be doing everyday from hereon. and i don't do nothing else after work. well, there's xbox, but bukan sume org nak dgr cite pasal tu. oh, and classes *yawn*

tapi mmg syok aa dgr updates sume org. ada org nak kawin (jamil, kawin je, xyah fikir pasal nak kena keluar2 dah hehe), ada yg nak bersalin (yani, doa2 dpt bersama hubby lepas bersalin ye), ada yg lain2 lagi lah. kdg2 rasa bangga lak ber-associate dgn org2 yg accomplished mcm diorg ni.

of course, x ketinggalan cite pasal bangi. ramai duh budak bangi (termasuk jugak yg bukan asal bangi tapi dah settle kat bangi). kalau sume kerja dekat2, confirm aku join carpool diorg. jimat belanja. tapi dlm ramai2 tu, aku sorg je yg still naik komuter gi kerja. x sume org boleh tahan naik komuter rupanya. as per jamil: aku naik 2-3 hari je, pastu x tahan dah. sheila: haritu aku naik lagi, tapi dah x sbb takut h1n1. err i know it's not sth worthy to be proud of, but 3+ yrs of commuting by komuter? heheh. and we all agree kalau ada bas dr bangi ke kl, confirm sume akan naik tu (faiezy: buses are underrated (or was it lrts are overrated?)).

food-wise, mmg x byk makan pun, sbb busy borak je. x sempat gak nak rasa sume (ada nasi dagang, mi rebus, mi kari, laksa, nasi putih, sate, nasi ayam). dah la kena halau dgn terhormat jugak. tapi mmg lama la kitorg duk situ, sampai 9:30 ada kot. itu pun depan bilik makan tu borak2 lagi sampai 10 lebih. so, ok la..

last sunday, dpt peluang buka kat hotel lagi. yg ni mmg food choices x sebyk kat marriott, tapi fuh mmg kenyang aa makan. aku lagi suka ni sbb ada sushi dgn western food jugak (ye la, bukan dpt makan selalu hehe). tapi dah habis rasa sume pun, baru 8pm. maybe it's true that who you're with matters. kalau dgn family, malu nak borak byk2, tu makan je kerja tu haha. dgn choc fondue lagi best2.

mmg terbukti la kitorg sume makan byk, sbb masa naik lif nak gi tpt makan tu, xde masalah apa2, tapi bila nak balik, overload (in defence, mmg lif tu kecik okay)! dammit nasib xde org lain kat situ. pelik gak, xkan kitorg berlima lebih 550kg (max weight allowed). tipuuuuu cis menjatuhkan morale org je.

somehow aku rasa aku puasa ke x puasa ke, sama je. err of course spirituality tu ada berubah siket, mintak2 lah.

ok chiow.
