SELAMAT HARI RAYA everyone! haha.
wow. this past few days have been hectic. and fun too actually. preparations for hari raya always make me high...cos it's fun getting the house cleaned with my mom and maid. we blasted the radio, and the radio station was playing hari raya songs, so we were all in the mood. haha. oh man hanging up curtains is such a pain but in the end, all worth it, cos it's nice la.
aniwaes on wednesday, we went to geylang. last day before hari raya. and we went at 2am...but it was still PACKED. really REALLY packed. they even had policemen stationed everywhere cos there were too many people. despite it all, i loved it. i loved the atmosphere, the sounds, the crowd, the cute mats...haha. it just rocked. walked around for about 2 hours and it was STILL crowded when we left. WOW. i love hari raya.
the day finally came. went to my aunty's house first cos my grandma was there. she cooked nasi briyani and it was fantastic. even i, e one who doesn't like it, ate it cos she's an awesome AWESOME cook. haha. i love my nenek.
had to go back home cos my father's side relatives were coming. my father's side is huge la. he's got 10 brothers and sisters and most of them are married. and have children. one of which has her own children. so you can imagine my tiny house was full. haha. but it was fun. around 5 i think, all of us went to jalan raye. yay.
went to my aunty's house again cos everyone wanted to see my grandma. then went to a whole bunch of other houses, don really know who they are, but they're related to my father's side somehow. i think their uncles or something. so so so MANY houses la...i was dead tired. and got really full on kueh and drinks. haha.
and oh! my brother broke my nice shoes! i was pretty pissed off. it's those heels that you can just slip your feet into...and it was really nice. he stepped on the back while i was walking and the strap broke. i was so mad cos i had to drag one foot. it was such a pain.
it was around midnight when we visited the last house. my mom's cuz's house...and i got to eat ayam masak merah, specialty of her mom (whom i call nenek wok). ah yummy.
whoa ate so much laaa. but who cares la. it was too tempting. haha. by the time i got home, i was totally shagged.
it's considered saturday now i guess, seeing how it's already 2am. haha. aniwaes went to buy new shoes to compensate for the dead *sob* ones. it's for prom too...and it's actually pretty nice. heels are higher. dunno how i'm gonna walk. haha.
aniwaes around 10 or 11 just now, my aunty and my mom's cuz came. and the usual la...talk talk, eat eat, blah blah. haha.
did i mention i love hari raya? haha.
ok soon will upload the photos from the past few days, cos my cuz will just kill me if i don send it to her. haha. and i'll post some on my blog too!
all the fun aside, there's like 5 days left to exams! *GASP* so i shall be a good girl and study now! byeeeee!!!
