Drama Hari Raya

Raya 1

Yup, as reported by Miss Moira, country-road-take-me-home to Negeri Sembilan was a big let-down. Massive traffic congestion. Dan bapa saya suka sekali guna jalan lama. Perhaps it takes him down memory lane lah, all those small towns en route to balik kampung. Semonget. Beranang. Mantin. Taman Lobak just before the heart of Seremban. Pokan Kualo Pilah. Thank goodness for awesome food at da baruh. Mmmmm....cheesecake along. Apam manis mak lang. Rendang dan dodol mak long. Rendang emak saya dan ketupat Cik Nona.

Raya 2

11 hours of driving from Bahau to Kota Bharu. 9 of which, I WAS THE ONE DRIVING. Gilo apo 9 jam from Kuantan to KB??? Damn all those traffic lites in Terengganu. Damn all those pak ajis in their 'pok reh reh' (at speed of 30km/hour, there was some serious almost-homicide going on there. me decapitating their heads at full swing of a dagger). Saya penat drive lama-lama. Ini kerja gila. Now I'm starting to appreciate my dad driving us for the past 20 plus years. Tima kasih bapa. Tahun depan marilah bersama-sama menaik kapaltebang saja. Point Enrich bapa kan banyak, hehehehe....

Note: Pok-reh-reh adalah kereta Ford buruk yang biasanya berbunyik "rrrreeehhhh rrreeeehhhh rrrrreeehhhhhhh" bila dipandu sama ada pak aji, atau kimi raikkonen sekalipun.

Raya 3

Yeay, annual raya reunion with childhood fwens! Makan at Ilida's. Lynne is forever full of gossip (I hope she's not entirely serious about her latest love find). Hadiani's back for good, double yeay! And she finally found her true love, triple yeay! Hear this people, guess who made sure that our Angkasawan's food up in space is free of harmful microbes? hohoh, saya sangat berbangga kerana orang itu adalah kawan sekolah saya Cik Nur Ilida, researcher kat mardi sana. and she has verified that Dr. Faiz is a real hottie in person *mmuuuaaahhhh.....

Personally i am not really fond of the angkasawan program. And the chosen guy is so off. Why not Dr Faiz lah? I think the money should have been distributed to the needies anyway. Buy more books and food and baju sekolah for impoverished and malnourished children. Or, give some to Pusat Asasi Sains to make sure they buy new 'radas' for the science labs. Circa 1999-2000, I still had to use some ancient lab tools, waaaay more outdated than what were used in my high school.

Raya 4

I'm a god mummy! Welcome to the world my darling Syaza Fitrihanna Mohd Syawal. Aunty Adie love you to bits already. Can't wait to hold you and kiss you till you get kissy-sores. heh, sori fied/wale. Over pulak aku dgn anak korang. adakah saya kecik hati that she's not named mira nadia? oh tidak. tapi papa mama dia takkan dapat souvenir lagi jika saya pegi vacation. Hah. Hah. Ahaha. (gelak yg evil).

hullo aunty adiepot! it's moi, syaza hanna :D

Raya 5

Skip lah. Nothing interesting except that I arrived at the airport much too early for my flight home. Interesting ke macam tu?

Seriously people, do you actually wanna know what happen to me everyday during raya?

Oh, you do. How sweeeeeeet. Ngehehehehe.

Raya 6

Welkam home. I was Home Alone. aaaaaahhhhh \^O^/. Mid-morning I woke up and bathed and dashed da door to meet my new darling.

Held her so close, and she smelled so niceeeee. Bau baby memang sgt best, mmm...... When she cried, i lulled her back to sleep. Eh, not really lah. I had to calm her down by saying "Okay shayang, kita pegi shopping beli kasut yeh?". MAGICK. See, that's my girl. Always enticed by shops and shoes. Aunty Mira will be so proud too. (Di sepanjang scene ini, papa dia encik wale sudah berpeluh-peluh nampaknya. 'habislah anak aku kalau adie yang tolong jaga'.)

That was the fun part. Not-so-fun part? I went home, makan ayam Mcd, kemas rumah, and fell sick from petang till at the time of this entry being written. Fever. Flu. Cough. Throat infection. Gastric. Two days of sick leave. One day of working remotely from home. But I had everyone to my aide at the height of my fever. So that's alright.

Thank you everyone. Those who took care of me and the well-wishers. Dah lama tak demam teruk camni but you made me less miserable. Ten thousand smile points for you :)

And here's what Mama Fied sent to moi this morning:

She's 7 days old today. Syaza Hanna, Aunty mish you sho muccchhhhhhh...! Can't wait to get better and go see her yeay!

adiepot XoXoXo
