i never realised how much i missed my family and relatives until yesterday. to spend a whole day with my family and to see my cousins and aunties and uncles again after so long was really what made yesterday a special day. i especially missed my nyai. i feel so bad for not visiting her since school started and really i'm starting to think that "busy" is just not an excuse. this year, our roles were reversed. instead of her giving me duit raya i was the one who gave her and it made me feel really good to put a smile on her face. she knew that i cared and she didnt have to say it, her smile told me everything. i miss lying on her flabby tummy! she's my rollie pollie. ;)
i wore green this year and it seems that everyone else seem to have picked green as their colour for this year's raya as well. aside from my cousins, i saw at least 5 families on the road wearing green. i felt so un-unique. but it's okay. i was gorgeous nonetheless...hahaha NOT!
there was only one thing i regretted yesterday. and that was eating too much! there was just sooo much good food that i could not resist! i didnt even touch the kuihs. and now i have to nurse an aching tummy. but it's all goooood. ah wel, this year was simple, but nice and cosy.
and with that, i wana say...
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI EVERYONE!
7hr conversations are love. =)

on nadia's advice i have decided to blog.
i am bored. i know i shouldnt be. i should be listening intently to dr. pellerin's lecture but it's really really boring. no offence to him but really, i mean he's talking about structures and types of government. nothing much that gets more boring than that.
i have to say im quite excited about pementasan next year. dont think im going to audition for anything but im doing props with sufie and i hope it's going to be fun fun fun. im extremely worried about the workload, on top of the busy schedule that i already have. but i wana do something fun in school as well. it really sucks floating around school with no other purpose except for going for lectures, attending tutorials and finishing up assignments. i just hope i dont get involved in too many things i cannot handle.
raya coming! dont know why im slightly more excited about raya this year. perhaps last year was a sad raya for my family. cant believe it's already been a year since my uncle died. okay not exactly a year but almost. makes me wonder really whether ive done enough in my life to say that ive really lived it. anyways on a lighter note, it feels weird not baking anything this year since ive been so busy. just doesnt feel the same. not to mention raya's in two days and my house looks like it has suffered a devastating earthquake. or rather what my mum likes to call it, "macam tongkang pecah". im not being much help i have to admit haha but ive been busyyy!
okay then this marks the end to another pointless boring entry. off to yet another project meeting. and they said arts was slack. riiiight.

(okay this was supposed to be yesterday's post but i am embarrassed to say that i fell asleep while i was updating yesterday. heh.)
quote of the day: the government allocated geylang serai to the malays...NOT! - aizat
hahahaha. okay update time after eons of silence from moi. just got back from a rather trying day out. our bazaar ramadhan outing for non-muslim and intenational muslim students took place today at the ever crowded geylang bazaar. it was a success even though the turnout was quite discouraging. two thumbs up to the bazaar comm for doing the best we could under the circumstances. i'm so glad it's OVERRRR. i wish i could have joined the participants in their amazing race around the bazaar but i came too late. i had fun nonetheless. =D
it's been a hectic few weeks with preps for this bazaar outing and project meetings after project meetings. and of top of that there's work and dance. sigh. i really need to lear to organise my time better or else i'm really screwed. my fault i guess for wanting to be involved with school and dance and work at the same time. i'm not doing good to my body and my mind, not to mention the ever worsening eye bags and dark circles under my eyes. i wish i could just do everything at the snap of my fingers. i'll be able to do greater things and still have all the time in the world to sit back and chill. if only life were that simple.
ramadhan is passing by so quickly it's really amazing. it felt like only recently we started fasting and now hari raya is just around the corner. can i stop time please? it's going too fast for me. time waits for no man. but i'm not a man! i'm a girl. time needs to wait for me. was that a bimbo thing to say? whatever lah. i need a break.
cramping like hell right now. once a month it sucks being a girl.
