Hi peeps!
August just ended, leaving its trail.
So far, August smells roses! :)..
minus the torns (that's the part where i whined, being melancholy, moody and so on..lol)

so..what's so rosy and red and romantic and perfumic bout Auggie? (comelnyer panggil august auggie..lol)

Ramadhan  

i shamefully admit that i didnt manage to khatam Quran and perform Tarawikh fully in jamaah the whole Ramadhan. need to work more spiritually.
BUT, Alhamdulillah, i managed to resist a few urges. :)

Today, i would declare it as the world's waiting day.
Because of miscommunication, so things didnt turn out as planned.
and i hate that (and also late notices)
and right now, im waiting for an important 3G call from my best buddies for an important live occasion.. :)
and here's the while waiting product :

*******

Hari raya was the day that my family and I visited our relatives at kampung; which was good coz i dont really know em well. suddenly i got many female second cousins and not to forget, feeling a lil bit veteran seeing babies and kids here and there. lol  

Meeting relatives was one thing. meeting friends was another.
i didnt really get the chance to visit many friends; except those who came to my house to beraya.
people came and being the only gorgeous gal in the house, ive gotta do the kitchen mitchen stuff.
but still, i didnt really cook the main dish, except satay (jela kann..huhu)

*******

Mom's birthday was on the second hari raya.
Ive gotta lie to her to make the bday surprise worked.
i felt bad, but after sessions of brainwashed from brothers,
i turned out to be the main culprit.
it was apparently mom's first bday surprise..(haih..anak2 bonda semua nehhh...)
and she was surprised! :)
we gave her a massage chair, something practical for mom.
I LOVE you MOM.. you are the number one for me :)

*******


Here are some raya pictures till the 3rd raya.
not many pics with fam though. banyak gambar aku coz obviously i love camera (@_@), and my brothers jenis layan je..hehe

*****

So... before the fireworks' pic takes place, lol... i would like to again, 

wish all of you...my friends, all muslims, a blessed EID MUBARAK! 

my sincerest apologies (Zahir and Batin) for my wrongdoings (i know, there were many..huhu)

 

SELAMAT HaRi RaYa, 

MAaF ZaHiR dan BaTiN :)

and yes, if you are that shy to visit someone(s), use this Hari Raya or 'datang beraya' reason to visit 'em!

it's the best time to visit or tunjuk muka, tayang kereta, baju raya, kasut raya and so on without feeling awkward :D

p/s: by this time, Ive 3G-ed with my girls. and it was heartwarming.. Makes me love all my sisters more, makes me appreciate LOVE more.

me, half-headed Gedep, tok kadi, saksi and of course, D's husband! :)

Eid Mubarak! :)

Salam.

"SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

MAAF ZAHIR dan BATIN"

 

p.s: ALLAH Maha Berkuasa.

I dont know how far...

Salam.

My weekend (T__T) 

 before

after

T___T 1: I left my car at the hostel for the weekend (3 nights, 2 days) coz I carpooled with my friend to Tg Malim. and when i arrived at the hostel on Sunday night to take my car, I realized that my tyre's Proton logo was missing; the driver side. There were security guards, the car was in the school compound. But yes, crime happened, though not that serious. 

But man! now my car seemed like a girl wearing only one shoe, instead of two.

T___T 2: I am gonna have English panel meeting on Teachers' Day.

Meaning, i wont be able to participate in the sukaneka, etc.. T__T.

this is the only time that i could let loose, to run or cheer or yell to/with my colleagues without us looking weird....*sigh* (hey hey! ikhlas sket boleh?!)

BUT, things happen for reasons. So I should be grateful for many other happy things! :)

My weekend (^__^)   

 (^__^) 1 : yeah, this was after 6 hours of classes. and they had this Hari Belia Perak there.

                 so as the 'berwawasan' belia, I went there under the hot sun (hence my eyes) and support the program; by snapping pics (my own favourite way of showing my support..:p)

 

  (^__^) 2: Our very first elevator self-shot 

(beloved mommy was blocked and eldest bro wasnt there though).

and i was trying my best to fit everyone in the frame..*effort should be praised..*

 

 

(^__^) 3:  You know how i love babies. I mean, friendly babies like the one in the pic. 

Some babies just hate me. You know, they just love your phone, or necklace or handbag..

and when they are bored, I pulak nampak jahat wat die menangis.

But...this babygal just loves me! :D

  

 (^__^) 4: and my cousin's engagement day. Congratz D. You look gorgeous! 

  and the bottom pic, are my female relatives. except one and there's another one 

(not in the pic. eating i guess..hehe)

and what i like the most, 

My family spent their night with me at SP.. 

though it was just a short sleepover, but at least, 

i had a full house yesterday :)

 

p/s: tomorrow is teacher's day. and i am kinda excited bout it, though some teachers just perceive it as just another usual day. Really, would i be like that after years of teaching? huhu
pps:  it would be very surprising if Salim (not a real name) wishes me a happy Teachers' Day.

here comes the bride...da da da da.... :D

  Salam.

"I am grateful that I survived the first week of student's life. 

and these many questions..."

***************

My cousin's wedding.
cant believe she's married now.
i mean, still teringat masa kecik2 main kotor, main nyorok2, tengok cite korea, etc..
... how time flies rite...

and she's super gorgeous on her big day! :)

  

Dayang-dayang sekalian... bermusyawarah yaww...

.

and of course...... the bride and bridegroom :)

 

CONGRATULATIONSSS cuzzy!
it was a beautiful and fun event i must say :)

p/s: I pray to ALLAH that I wont be a procrastinator anymore..

update raya...

Salam.

Hi uols..hellow...

Salam Syawal, salam lebaran, salam kemerdekaan! :)

how's your syawal so far? how's the merdeka celebration?
meriah takk??

this year's raya celebration is so far fun!
went here and there. all the siblings are here, meeting relatives and so much else!

btw, this morning, i went to the kitchen,
greeting good morning to everyone, to mom, dad n my bro.
but suddenly, i heard my dad said, "makan, Ita"...
sentap uols..terjatuh lemang ditanganku gitewww..haha
hmmmm, daddy didnt recognize me... :(..
yes, they sometimes were confused between me n my sis.
we are about the same size (ok, tipooo...she's slimmer than me) and height, and sometimes our voice sounds similar.
and my dad likes to pat my shoulders.
with my sis around, he must double check before patting 'my' shoulders..lol.

back to hari raya!

what's the most thrilling stuff during hari raya??
balik kampung!

why?
did many things with cousins and siblings,
listened to many untold stories,
meeting unfamiliar true blood faces.

downside?
no more receiving duit raya!!

******

yes, hari raya with family n relatives was awesome.
did a little shopping with my bro n sis a day before raya.
carik tudung in the crowded mall..
sesak uols, like itulah satu2nya mall di dunia iniiii...

and then, main mercun bunga api with relatives at kampung...
gila penakut aku nak pasang api kat sumbu..
pas pasang terus blah..
padahal api tak kena pun sumbu.
last2, bunga api jugak aku carik!
aman je...

***********

so when cousins, relatives and family members were together,
a lot of stories came out...
and surprisingly,
i just knew that i actually had this 'baba nyonya' blood from my great grandma, mother's side.
my moyang's father is from baba nyonya's descendant.
no wonder.... my mom n my brothers have kinda slanting eyes..

i just knew that this house is nearly 200 years old...

rumah pusaka nenek moyang...

before this, we didnt really went back here coz my late grandparents live with us, with my aunties.
so everytime it was raya, we went to KL..
it was recently that we rebuilt and renovated here and there so that we could reminisce the memories.
feel the kampung environment, where my mother used to live and play here...
where my dad n mom got married.. and so on!

the compound.

lomang prepared by my cousin...

unfamiliar true blood faces


nih lagik satu kes yang setahun sekali jumpa...
bila sedara mara sampai, baru sibuk tanya, "mak, nak panggil apa?" ,   "mak, yang hensem tuh sape?",  "mak yang ..." blabla..
baru lah nak kenal sedara mara bagai kannn...
feel kinda weird when i see lots of girls in the house.
like meriah uols! hehe
satu family, 4 girls...
sorang keluar, semua keluar..haha.
macam best pulak... ;p 

and... i found similarity between Tok Chik's face with my lil bro.
tok chik is my late grandma's brother.
mom said that tok chik is a quiet man, like my lil brother..
and his smile is just like my late grandma's smile.

I also met with my cousin, whom i havent met since he was 11.
after puberty took place, of course everything changed!
dulu, nakal ya ampunnnnnn... kau rasa keje die nih carik gaduh je kann..
cuma sebab die budak je ko tak balas balik kannn...
skang nih, kalau dah form 4 pun duk lasak2 lagik..
ko memang lah kannn...
and his siblings, meaning my nephew lah,
6 boys...all boys. mana tak pening wehhhh...
tak duduk diam semua hero-hero nya..
I asked,  "aliff ada girlfriend tak??"
"mana ada girlfriend, muka hensem macam nih sapalah yang nakk"
ok ok....muka HANDSOME macam nih, sapalah yang nak...
7 years old uolsss..haha
btw, dengan diorang, I still bahasakan myself 'kak sara' uols..haha
memang feeling2 kak nita, though pangkat aunty dah kannnn.... :p

orite lah,
gotta stop now,
dodol kat luar tuh kena kacau,
mana ketupat nak kena rebus third round pulak kannn...
dengan wartawan bertanya yang nih dah ada calon skandal belum lagikk kann
i memang busy lahhhh...
busy busy body nih..
:p

Selamat Hari Raya,

Maaf Zahir Batin,

Selamat Merdeka Raya too!

xoxo! :)

p/s: miss celebrating raya in NZ though... :)
pps: will upload more photos when time permits! :)
