Raya

Hello.Seven days of raya has passed and now I'm back in KL. I won't complain like everyone else that raya gets more and more boring every year. In fact, I like this more relaxed atmosphere. This is the first time we celebrate raya without my beloved grandmother. I don't even have the heart to put her picture here.

But life goes on, and we celebrated as best as we could. Unlike previous years, I barely have time to visit friends later in the day because we spend so much time just hanging out at grandma's house. This year is different though. We still get our yearly dose of roast lamb and roast beef at my dad's uncle's, but we were pretty much done with families by 4 pm. That night I managed to visit three houses.
Ezra was back from Melbourne for raya and we had a rare gathering. On the second day we have our annual open house and Totchi came by, as usual. xD

Here we are, our slave and his mistresses. Slaves should be on the floor, of course. His incompetence thus far is forgiven because he gave me some gifts this year, hehehe. I managed to go out at night on the second day and visited Munee with Totchi. After staying at her house for a while, Totchi and I went to Bing, and ended up checking out this really cute employee. Yep, that really made my day. xD Our open house wasn't as hectic as before, but it was still pretty enjoyable. Last year was even more exhausting, but this year is fine too. I like the extra downtime later in the day.

I held an open house for friends on the third day, and made laksa! My laksa was gone by the end of the day. So happy. xD I'm going to hold an open house in KL too. I felt like I went on a laksa marathon for the enxt two days, because all the open houses I went to afterwards served laksa. There is definitely no better laksa in Malaysia than laksa Sarawak. We Sarawakians unanimously agree. After all, all the other states laksa's gravy were made from fishes. Eww. Ours are made from herbs and good stuff.

Then, until next year!

Ta'ra!

Raya Eve 2

Like all raya eves, it was spent doing some hefty cleaning to prepare for our raya second day open house. None of us wanted to clean on the night of raya first day. We all wanna go out of course, so we really pushed ourselves tonight to avoid work tomorrow night.

Selamat Hari raya to you guys over in Norway as well!! I really missed having you guys around!

Ezra!! Ezra is back too! You! How dare you run away to Melbourne without telling me!

And Totchi, ima, ashita no ban, hima desu ka? xD

Our open house is second and third day. Second day is pretty hectic because it's our official open house. I'll get so burned out by the end of the day I can barely stand! Third day is usually an open day for friends only. So if you wanna avoid the crowd, come on the third day. We have non-traditional food that day. xD if you wanna come on both days that's fine too hahaha!

I will go out fourth day onwards. So if you have open houses I can crash or you want my lovely presence in your humble abode, please tell me! My crew and I will surely give you a visit! xD

After deciding which outfit to wear tomorrow, and solving my scarf crisis, I'm finally set for tomorrow. I wanted to buy some mascara tonight, but Guardian was out!! All the mascaras are gone!!!

We have now in our hands a mascara crisis.

sighs. Anybody has one I can borrow?

Selamat Hari Raya everyone!

Ta'ra!

Um, Where was I?

Lately I've been channelling my linguistic prowess in my stories and assignments rather than this blog. Or is it because there simply wasnt anything interesting to tell about other than my on-going lamentation of life.

Or I was just not too bothered by it to write about it. Usually it helps me clear my mind a bit, but I supposed addictions are not called so in a positive light simply because they are not. XD. I'll leave that for later.

Anyway, I'm finally easing up on the yaoi. Good for me eh? The stories become repetitive after about 40GB worth of them I suppose, but there are certain series I am still following hehehehe. I'm going to have my Beginner 1 Japanese language test on Monday. We will have both oral and writing. Sensei said our oral would be done at a 'special room'. Well the language school is small, so where is this room we wonder, so she opened the door and gestured to the corridor. Yes, my friends, our special room is on the corridor. Nice.

Needless to say, I am very much in love with my japanese classes. You know that little twinge of heaviness in your heart each time you thought of going to class? Well I experience not an ounce of it for my Jap classes. I would prolly even go insane if I dont see sensei twice a week. I don't know how I could surive! gasp!

So, raya is in about ten days and I'm going back next Saturday and since I have classes from Wednesday to Friday, I should start doing my holiday shopping. Daddyo didn't stay long enough to accompany me shopping so I contend myself with his absence and find solace in his card. xD xD xD

Today I bought t-shirts. I really needed new t-shirts you see and my wardrobe is in a dire need of an update. I finally got myself a Superman and Batman t-shirt! A bit childish, but I've always wanted one. A black t-shirt with Batman's logo on it, and a really cool white shirt with Superman's logo in gold prints and graffitis at the bottom at the back. Included in my shopping list today was my sister's perfumes and a copy of Love Recipe 2. I already have one of this, but this time it's for the lovely Nadja Irene. I wonder how much the postage is on this thing.

Speaking of postage, I posted Watashiwa-san her raya card yesterday. Oh and MY FINAL FANTASY 12 IS FINALLY ON ITS WAY!! SQUEEEEEEE! Thank you Watashiwa-san! I love youuuu! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Of course, my shopping is yet complete. I have found a sexy handbag, but I have yet found a sexy pair of heels. That's right. Heels. This year I'm finally buying my own pair of heels. I am tired of looking shorter than everyone else. And when you wear heels there's a certain bounce to your step that makes you look more elegant and lady-like. I want to look like I belong in my clothes, not like some adolescent who just refused to grow up.

And I have RM40 vouchers from Parkson and Metrojaya that's yet to be spent. xD I will definitely make a trip to benefit at Parkson for some cosmetics xD and MAC of course, make up is important xD xD. And aaah, so fickle about the shoes. I'm thinking if I cant decide then I'll just borrow my sis's again.

So, happy hari raya everyone and hopefully I'll have some picture updates soon, eh? Ta'ra!

p/s this weekend there's been some sort of performance at Sg. Wang. It was cool. They played old raya songs and people dance to them in the 50s and 70s theme. There was even an old grey vespa on the stage and if it's a 70s song, then the dancers would dress all seventies, complete with afro hair, big glasses and flare pants. Amusing xD.
