Raya 1, 2, 3

DAY 1
Started out pretty crummy. I got my slippers stolen when I went to sembahyang raya at Masjid Shah Alam. I wasn't that pissed, though just a little annoyed cz the reason I wore those slippers were cz I was scared if I wore my raya shoes, someone would nick em. Turns out, the theory doesn't really work. I got my plain ol' slippers stolen anyway. Damnit. I just wish that someone who took my slippers had left their pair behind so I didn't have to walk barefooted to the car. Masjid Shah Alam is huge mind you. We had to park our car outside and a long way off from the Masjid cz since the Sultan went there to pray too that morning, there were tonnes of people there and it was like taking a loooonnng walk of shame back to the car.

When we got home, we waited for everybody to arrive. Then only did raya really start :D After that, we all jumped in the car.. The plan was go to Melaka, spend 3 days there then come back here, only, not even half way out of Shah Alam, the car broke down. Don't ask me what went wrong, because I'm a loser in the anatomy of cars department but I think something like the fan belt of something something snapped. Yeah. That was it I think. I think..

Anyway, came back here and spent the rest of the first day with nenek and Ami Omar and his family. Not much of a problem :)

selamat hari raya nenek, I love you.

DAY 2
Woke up really early to help Mum make nasi tamato by the mass. 100 people scheduled to be arriving around mid-day. Nope, no exaggeration there. Yes, 100 is a lot, but that's Abah's side for ya, and it gets bigger every year too. By the time the guests had started arriving, I was already half dead. But it was like family day, part II :) There were so many people to catch up with about so many things, so many kids to play with and so many babies to babysit -_-" But I think the highlight of the day was when we celebrated 6 birthdays. Yeap, there were 6 people whose birthday ranged between day 1 - day 10 of raya. Awesome no?

The raya-birthday-merdeka babies ;)

DAY 3
Went down for a (what was supposed to be) quiet breakfast. Just poured my tea, filled my bowl with Mum's mee goreng when... ting tong! I grabbed my bowl and dashed upstairs! It was Mr. Loo (our neighbour) and his family. They had come to beraya at our house. Of course I got called down again to help set the table and serve our guests. Not long after that, there was another ting tong and another family arrives. I'm guessing its gonna be another long day.. sigh.

Anyways, I'm back upstairs, in hiding. I need to get my work done before the break is up.  I have just finished my 'Statement of Problem', and now am working on the 'Significance of the Study'. Only 'Scope of study' left to do and then I'll be over and done with that- for now, and I can start moving on to my next assignment!  Arghhh! timeee! I'm panicking but then theres something inside me that just wont budge (which explains the blogging).

Hey, it's still Raya lah!
