well…
raya is supposed to be
a moment to cherish,
a moment with 1001 memories
a moment that unite families
a moment to celebrate triumph against the nafsu temptations
a moment where kids get new baju raya and collect duit raya
a moment where parents get to keep their children’s duit raya (ehem ehem)
a moment of visiting families and friends
……..
11 - 12 October
i
took all the trouble to go back early (thursday morning),my sis and her
hubby also arrived the same day. really tak sempat rest tolong my
parents to prepare the house for raya (hell that’s a lot of work
there)… because me, my parents and siblings live with my grandma. so
naturally every year time raya our house will be swarming with our
relatives that will come down for raya…
My aunty from bagan lalang arrived on friday morning. with the whole bunch of her family
reeally tired… to think, i tak sempat langsung nak pi mana2…
13 October (saturday)
It’s raya!! seriously tak terasa pon. dah le bangun lewat because i stayed up the whole nite preparing stuff…
later
in the morning, my uncle from selayang arrives with his battalion (9
kids)… macam nak pecah rumah. more work for us the adults huhu
another uncle of mine from subang arrived with his family (4 children), this uncle of mine is currently working in albania.
the mighty migraine attacks….
14-15 october
… my other uncle arrives with his family.this uncle pulak is currently staying in senegal with his entire family…
my
bro arrives later in the morning with the cute son, faris who stole all
the attention to himself. comel sgt… these days are filled with
swarming of guests… sempat lah jugak gi melawat my father
relatives… very tiring…
one
this is sure, for years now my aunts and uncles had been trying to coax
my sweet grandma to follow them to kl and be in new fresh environment.
but to no avail. remember i used to blog that every weekend i’ll be in
keramat kl at my dear aunt’s house if i have no business coming to
office? my aunt dah pindah to a big bungalow in bagan lalang, sepang.
so this year’s raya she made a resolution to force my grandma to come
with her to bagan lalang… and to my surprise, she made my grandma to
consider. so with the combined strength of our whole family, my grandma
nearly said yes to that absurd idea.
i
gave one last blow saying that it’s very near to putrajaya so i can see
her everyday (tipu sunnat huhu).. to add to that drama i put on a
pathetic face, asking her to pity me as i was all by myself there with
nobody to come and visit me if i’m sick (which is so true)… hehehw
u
see… my grandma is a sweet old lady who suffered from stroke many2
years ago. although she is now able to walk, she no longer has the
strength or should i say the confidence to go out anymore. i have to
adsmit that prior to that stroke, her nerves are in bad condition
making her difficult to walk properly. this causes her to lose
confident in going anywhere.
it was indeed a pleasant
surprise when later that day she asked me to buy her some stuff for her
stay in bagan lalang. so after sa many years, this raya is different.
16th October
moved
from penang at 10am after a spot of breakfast. kami konvoi. me and my
parents followed my bro’s car. my sister and his husband in another
car. my aunt,uncle and my grandma in 1 car and lastly my cousins in
another—>4 cars altogether…
stopped at simpang pulai to
visit my brother’s in-laws. later around 4pm moved to kl. got stuck in
massive jam. arrived at wangsa maju nearly maghrib, the rest head
straight to sepang. stopped there because i need to take my car that i
left at my bro’s house there. around 9pm we moved to sepang. arrived
later nearly 11pm.
my aunt from subang came with her family at 1am(my uncle already left for albania). chat till dawn.
17th October
my
other relatives came to bagan lalang after they found out my grandma
made her special appearance there. unfortunately had to return to
putrajaya but my bro and parents nak follow because depa nak pi
alamanda so ok la, moved at 6pm, arrived at my house at nearly 7. i was
surprised that my grill is locked using a new padlock!! shit! at that
hour tried to call my housemates. one is still in pahang will only be
back on Saturday. the other one (who is responsible to tell me abt the
change and hand over the new keys) didnt answer my call. so after going
to alamanda all of us head back to bagan lalang. in my heart i was
really cursing my house mate. ingat dekat ka putrajaya and sepang. can
u imagine if that day i have no place to go? what will happen to me?
grrrrr……..
18th October
……
after subuh i moved to putrajaya straight to my office. moved at 6.45am
and arrive at 7.30am. didnt sleep since the night before. told my
office mate bout the padlock incident and for a while they were being
sympathetic with me. but then the whole day after that i got the title
bangla pelarian simply because i had my whole luggage in my car. no
where to go. soon, my dear friend offered her place in sri kembangan
for me to bunk in for the night. agreed. however, at 7pm tried to go
back to my house. saw my hampeh housemate’s car. so i practically
opened the door and shouted her name for at least 15 minutes. but she
didnt answer. was she afraid? dah buat salah, haruslah takut. daripada
standing outside my own house like a fool i drove back to the office
cursing her along the way. only after that she picked up my call,
giving me all sorts of excuses in that timid voice. so i warned her not
to lock the grill with that padlock.
i moved to sri kembangan….
19th october
…at
the office many of us wore purple today (ramai yg still cuti raYa),
including my boss. mr. Z. so we tend to take photos hehe… ngada2 la
pulak hehe. kira dah takdak keje la tu
that
long lunch break, we attacked bob’s house which is directly behind my
house. open house.he’s a father to be. hehe. after we are finished with
the lepaking at his house, i went straight to my house to check,
Alhamdulillah she left without locking the padlock. Phew. so, i went
in, left all of my luggage, took a quick bath, changed into a black
jubah and went back to office… my housemate even took my pair of keys
with her!! she was supposed to leave the new padlock keys on the tv
cabinet for me but instead of doing that, she simply left with my keys.
hampeh tol…
i dragged my boss to have early dinner at 6.40pm at
mamak stall with the rest of the colleagues. then i stayed back with my
boss till 1.30am. banyak keje la…
during that time i was
munching digestive biscuits as i didnt eat properly earlier. when i
arrived home nearly 2 i immediately dashed to the toilet and vomited
sampai lembik. perutku memulas2… was it food poisoning? hmmm i became
so weak that the entire saturday was spent in my room….
21st October
… feel fresh again. awake since 12am till now. bought breakfast at 7.25am and head straight to the office. till now….

it’s the 5th day of 2008 and hopefully i am not too late to wish all of you a very happy new year. May 2008 promises a life which is better and more prosperous than of 2007….
