Hari Raya. Usually it goes like this.

Everybody gets emo and teary-eyed in the morning and early afternoon, then they get raucous and noisy in the late afternoon and evening, then they get sleepy and stuffed by night time.

Well. In my family anyway. Hee.

I actually said my apologies in English. Somehow saying it in Malay makes it sound very scripted and fake. You know, like, "Saya ingin mohon ampun dan maaf atas segala kesilapan saya, harap dimaaf jika tersilap kata, semoga Tuhan murahkan rezeki (insert relevant name) dan panjangkan umur (insert relevant name) BLAH de blah blah."

It just sounds nice and flowery, more like reading a poem , not asking for forgiveness, you know what I mean?



I had two miserable pieces of ketupat (which is like, half a ketupat) with sambal goreng, ayam masak merah and LOTS of sambal kacang (my bloody favouritest thing ever to eat with ketupat) and I was FULL. What a loser stomach I have.

So I went to my maternal grandfather's house (yes, the cute one) first. Actually it's not HIS house, it's my aunt's house but since he lives there, oh wells. There was only him, my elder cousin (my said aunt's daughter) and my uncle from KL.

Had brownies and lotsa those cornflake cup thingamajigs.

Then we went over to my paternal grandmother's house. Again, it's not HER house, but since blah blah you get the picture neh?

That house, I tell you, was CryCentral for a couple of hours. People were crying around me everywhere! Aper lagi ha, amek gambar. I've never seen my father so, so wrecked with emotion before seriously. Must have been something bad that went on between them. None of my business.

I didn't cry this year.

Maybe the heart stopped? Ha ha. Weh.




That was around 6ish. Remember the last meal I had? That was in the morning. I realised lunch was cornflakes and peanuts. Nonsense sia! So I had an early dinner to avoid eating later. Again, two measly pieces of ketupat and I was full. What.

Watched random sing here sing there shows on Suria, and I realise that Aliff Aziz, the kid (sweet sixteen pe, kid ah) who won Anugerah or something, is quite cute! And he has a dimple, plus he speaks with a lisp. Sungguh adorable. I realised all the kid stars on Suria have grown up (the ones in my generation anyway), and boy are some of them uglehh! Oop. Kay I am SO mean I will stop it.

Anyhoo.

I dropped by store to give Neng kuih. Hahas. I know, I'm such an angel. HAHA.

Then we headed off to my aunt's place in Yishun, chilled abit, then left for home. Reached home slightly after midnight.

Now I'm fucking dehydrated.

K lah, that's all for today folks. Ta!
