Hahahahahahahhahahahahaha kasihan Alwi. The stuff he has to go through whenever Mummy leaves him under our care while she goes out for chores. But all is well, there is a saying, "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!". Eh, what am I saying? I mean, his aunties treat him with all the care and love in the world. Mana pernah lambung-lambung gomol-gomol! Pinkie promise XD

Now, let's move on to the most common topic this month; Raya celebrations!

Yeayea, i can imagine whats going through everyone's minds; Pusing kanan raya, pusing kiri raya. Ape lagi borak pasal raya!?!? Lame! Boring! Move on!

Well my dears, the only thing i can reply to that would be; DAH NAMA PUN RAYA MENGONG. Deal with it! Don't be a scrooge and spoil the mood for everyone else. If you can't stand it, then stay at home for the whole ramadhan month. No one's forcing you to join the fun =\

Hmm. I just noticed that in every post I will have one segment where I will rant at the general public. Anger management problem perhaps? hmhm..hahahaha-erk =X

ANYWAYS, moving with the raya issue.

This is the debut year where the Ruslan family celebrates raya in Kay-ell (Kuala Lumpur for those who don't speak the lingo). I must say, the experience is indeed extremely different this time around. True we don't get to experience the authentic raya experience such as ;

1) Gaduh-for-the-bathroom in the morning with all your cousins and uncles and aunties
2) Argueing with smaller cousins for who gets to sit at the 'adult table' during mealtimes
3) Argueing with smaller cousins as who gets to choose which channel tv to watch during "family time"
4) Argueing with smaller cousins as to whose duit raya was it that was left on the tv in the living room.
5) Argueing with smaller cousi--(ehh banyaknya gaduh dengan cousin, woops kantoi! XD)
) sneaking off whenever guests come to visit as we gals malas nak bancuh teh-o (seriously people, tau la baru habis puasa sebulan. But dang, you all drink like camels @@)
6) And numerous other things! Senang cerita, whatever it is that you can think of COULD happen whenever a big number of people congregate in one place, WILL happen. The best thing we can do is sit back and hope everyone survives the ordeal.

I'm painting the experience as if its a harrowing event, however it is not so. Yea, its annoying when your 5 year-old cousin with kyooter hair gets to cut in line to the bathroom just because she needs to do her lady business but oh well, its a once a year event. The rest of the year seniority rules supreme missy! So move aside! *shoves* Mwahahahahaha >)

Uhhum *calms self*

Meanwhile, raya-ing in town is a different thing altogether. No more argueing whose turn is it to go to the bathroom as everyone can do their business in the comforts of their own home (Yeayy to indoor pumbing!) and no more being sent out to some makcik's house to borrow/buy some random kitchen ingredient as the on-slaught of guests have finished up all the stock. And to top it all off, at the end of the day, no more having to force yourself to sleep while being lullaby-ed by daddy dearest's and Pak Chu's synchronized snoring. I swear, at the rate and volume they were going at it, you would think that they were trying to out-snore the other o_O"

When you compare both situations together, you would get the impression that raya-ing at home/kay-ell is way better but i beg to differ. Neither one is better than the other. Both has it good and bad points. In a way I do think I prefer going back to Kuala Kangsar @ Rembau but as the circumstances doesn't really permit, nothing else to do but to make the best out of it no? =3

Overall, Raya '09 will be remembered as the year where the we didn't go to raya, but raya came to US >D

(oh-so-lame-jingle but I MADE IT SO TERIMA SEADANYA >E)

In the meantime, here's some images as to how raya '09 was all about.

Kek Lapis Sarawak dekat rumah parents Amir (Sis's hubby)
Lawa kan! Rasa macam nak cungkil-cungkil hancurkan je! (er yes, I have a 'thing' in regards to patterns and coraks. I have an urge to destroy it ^^;)

Rumah Kampung di Rembau. I still remember the days when we used to play hide-n-seek with our cousins around the house..*sniffs* T--T

Doing god-knows-what dekat tangga depan rumah. Ezan sibuk interframe at the back. Vain!

Last but not least, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from all of us. May all of you enjoy the festivities!
Maaf Zahir dan Batin =)

Oh dear, did i say that was the end of this post?

Sorry, I LIED >) *cackles*

Kepada semua rakan-rakan saya samada di Selangor mahupun di Perlis (senang cerita anybody who knows me). I berhajat nak berkunjung ke rumah korang dan beraya. I really feel the whole visiting each other's house during raya tradition is going to die out if we young'uns don't take an active role to ensure its preservation (chewah alasan, padahal nak makan free)

MAKA, bukalah pintu rumah anda dan bersedialah untuk ketibaan saya!

Till then, cheerio~!

P.S. : Kenapa tahun ni kurang dapat duit raya? T--T sedeyh tau.

P.S : Shairil loves you, sumpah tak tipu. (tibe)


BAI!

Talking is fun. Does thinking that make me a typical girl?

"The thing i hate about arguments is that it interrupts a discussion"

G.K. Chesterton

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where people asked you what is it that you like to do in your spare time and when you answer it, they just give you the blank stare as if they're saying, "You gotta be kidding me..".

I have.

And that's because my answer to that sort of question is, "I like to talk whenever i have the time". More often than not, I would get the routine blank stare and then slight shake of the head which usually signifies that the other person thinks I'm a complete airhead for not having a more sophisticated or l33t hobby. Well~ To those annoying people, scr--(ala bulan puasa takleh curse la pulak) may you get a life, i don't judge your lame social life so butt out of mine! >(

(Hrm. I am getting a tad emotional here)

ANYWAY~ Back to the point which I am trying to convey; Talking is F-U-N. However, it must be noted that the type of talking which i am referring to here is not just the typical girl gossip you usually see girls (who else! XD) do in the school corridor between classes. I mean those kinds of discussions where each party throws in their opinions or suggestions regarding some particular topic without any worry of being condemned for their thoughts. I guess what I'm referring to is an "open table" kind of discussion. I must say, I enjoy these kind of social interaction as it broadens my knowledge and also in a way trains me to open up my mind to other people. This is the main reason why I'm enjoying my elective subject this semester; Law and Philopsophy.

Most of my friends have commented that they find the class a tad (ok, i lied. They find it extremely boring) but truth be told, I enjoy the 2 hour classes which we spent mostly listening to our lecturer babble about the various philosophers and their school of thought. Yes, its undeniable that Mr.Haris's voice can be very soothing and sleep-inducing (sorry sir >_<") especially after the lunch period but i gotta say, the effort taken to fight off the sleep and listen to him is completely worth it. Not only is he well-versed and dedicated in his job, but he is also interesting as he is firm in his principles without offending another person's stance and beliefs. He once told us his experience of how he quit smoking;

Mr. Haris : I really wanted to quit smoking so this is what I did; I smoked my last cigarette and then nawaitu (niat) ,"Ya Allah, if I smoke another cigarette after this, I shall then become a murtad".

Can you spell D-R-A-S-T-I-C? Extreme action indeed, but he says it had worked. I'm not going to preach religion here but I really admire his iron-clad will. Now if only i can have that kind of willpower in terms of turning down food..hmm...

Another important factor about our lecturer that I would like to state here is that he encourages his students to speak their mind. As a result, during classes sometimes its become like a mini-parliament where opinions and suggestions are being thrown around. Sometimes it even seems like pandemonium is going to break loose but thank goodness Mr. Haris is there to steer us back into course =p Needless to say, trekking up the god-awful Cempaka hill each week for Philo class is not that depressing anymore ^_^

Moving on to less educational subjects~

Meet up with my lovable huggable (iye la tu, semua dah kurus. Peluk tulang je semua. Dengkiiiii >E) girlfriends of 9 years; Timei, Azi Papan and Sheila boyan~ I enjoy this bi-annual outings we do each time a certain minah comes homes from India XD

Kelakar weh bila pikir balik. You wouldnt expect it by looking at us, but the four of us are such nerds. Ada chance nak keluar tanduk pun tak larat yerrrrr balik bilik pukul 12 pasal ngantok. Like wth, orang lain in our situation dah hilang entah ke mane entah! XD Oh well, its this kind of childishness and "uniqueness" that makes us tight kot. Any way, i love you guyssss~~!! *glomps*

Azi and Timei senyum candid ayu. Di tengah yang sedang buat aksi mak datin over tu boleh diabaikan.

Ni aksi je over, padahal tak makan pun. Corus Hotel is the first hotel I've been to that doesn't have nutcracker in their kitchen inventory. Kecewa dowh, ketam tu terpaksa ditinggalkan tak makan T--T
Capsquare yang sangatla menarik dengan lampu-lampu berirama pada waktu malam.
ANNNDDDDDD last but not least, the wajib picture of my sahur; Nasi Kandar from Pelita.
Sedap sehingga menjilat jari >3

P.S : Habis puasa kita pergi lagi aight? ^_-
