1 day to RAYA!!


listening to : Mixtape : Butch Walker
mood : not so good
current status : thinking of someone

Having slept late that night playing Monopoly, it was pretty hard for me to wake up for Sahur but I eventually did and the whole of us ate together. My grandpa kinda made up but trying to be all manja-ish with me. Me being half asleep just bare with it. After Subuh I slept soundly.

As usual, us 4 teenage girls are big snoozers. We're always waking up late that the adults prcatically have to drag us out of bed, and if that fails, threaten to cut of our duit raya. OK so I made the last bit up, but you get what I mean. Even the under 10 years old kids were already running around playiong cops and robbers.

When all of us woke up, we started to work. I was in charge of making the cake. This is one of the things I like about going back for Raya. That I could make a cake. Be in charge of it. And get to do it with a few other family members. We made our every year Raya cake. A simple marble cake. It was fun.

After its popped in the oven, I went to the back to help peel the onions, garlics and daun kunyits. And chop them up and also blend in all of them. I was helping Ibu to make Rendang Ayam. The rendang I am so admittedly IN LOVE WITH!!! Making it was fun too!!!

In the process of all that, Cu (My aunt), Kak Ju and Kak Azza arrived. I continued working, learning the do-es and dont's of making Rendang Ayam. My family's style. After waiting for the chickens to cook, me and Tikah continued our Monopoly game which I so was kinda winning. Hahahah. I was owing Tikah a lot of money, but still building up my hotels.

It was about 2 pm when Pak Su came in the room inviting us to go to Jusco Ipoh. Both of us rushed to the bathrooms and was running around like mad women to quick up. PakSu took Pak Teh, Kak Ju, Kak Azza, Me and Tikah to the mall.

We were equipted with RM 50 each and about one and a half hour. We all went into Levis before realizing after about 5 minutes that there was just nothing we want, or even could afford to buy with RM50 in there. So all 4 of us went to Padini Authentics.

SALE!!!!!!!!!!!

The shop was pretty crowded. But right after I saw that 'plaited' short skirt I instantly grabbed them and headed for the dressing rooms. Tikah and I got into the same room for me to change. The skirt again fits me PERFECTLY!!! It was made for me!! I love it!!! Ok so I need to shape up my legs a little but its not like cellulite sally is hanging around there or something. I tried to get the skirt on Tikah but she refuses to try it on. After we got out, all 4 us made our way into Jusco.

We ended up at this corner displaying clothes from the brand Scarlet. Not what you hear everyday I know but the clothes there are pretty nice. I decided to get myself a pair of pants since I left 2 of them at home. And I saw just the right one. It was just hanging there amongst the other pair of pants with the same design but with different colours and sizes. I saw the colour that I've been longing for that I couldn't really get form Levis or Lee's. And the cuttin was great too! I picked them out to try.

Along with me, 2 pair of pink tops, My cousin Tikah, and a short beige coloured short skirt. The jeans fits me perfectly! I am in love with it now. It also doesn't make my legs look fat. At least I don't think so. The skirt looked good on me. If only the skirt would look good itself. The skirt was ugly but on account that it was a short skirt, I just grabbed it.

The pink tops looked great!! But the pants itself costs RM49 so the only thing I could afford after that is a lollipop. But I know that I'm happy with the pants I bought, so no regrets. AFter that we waited for Kak Ju to try on her pants. I got restless so I invited Tikah to buy something for herself. And she told me she was looking for pants too. Jeans to be exact. SO I escorted her to the jeans rack I was at before.

We were looking through the colour that she likes and she chose the exact same jeans but with a different colour. And she tried it on and she looked good. So she got it! After that, all four of us went to buy credits and we went to look for earrings until we met back with Pak Su and Pak Teh to get back.

Pak Su played a trick on the people who were looking for parking. He pretended to go to another person's car and make it his own whilst the finders would trail him in hope to get his parking. too bad no ONe bought it! HAHAHHA!! I was really laughing!!

We got back to pray and stuff and we, as in me and Tikah, played Monopoly again. Until it was breakfast time. And that night, Atuk hosted a 'Morrey'. I thought Fandi would've come to the Morrey as he was there in Ara Payung himself. But he wasn't. And after that, the whole family sat outside to have our dinner. Me being stupid, left my handphone on the coffe table whilst I ate at the dining table. Until I saw Pak Su looking at my phone, holding it and smiling. And at that moment. I FREAKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed his name and started crying!!! My sister was like.. 'ooo... habis!!' and my cousin was like.. 'ooo.. damn! busted!!' And I was sitting there, crying and never felt anymore mad than ever!! I refuse to tlak to Pak Su later that night.

And after that, me and the girls were watching One Tree Hill. I'm beginning to like that show. Until Mom told us she would be going out to 'buy stuff' at 12 o'clock in the morning. And her and all her brothers went out. My sister and I were both confused of whats going on but it seems to me like OTH attracted us more.

After that, I got so bored. I didn't wanna sleep yet. But I know I had to as the next day was Hari Raya and we're suppose to wake up early for the whole Sembahyang Raya thing. But I couldn't. And so couldn't Ayong, Tikah and my Mak Su. So what the hey. We ended up watching White Chicks at after 1 o'clock.

Now I know I shouldn't because for me, I'd always worry if I'd have nough sleep. Though I'm not sleepy, sometimes I'd force myself to sleep as I'm afraid I won't be strong enough for tomorrow. Which is good in a way.

But I didn't wanna not watch the movie so I joined them anyways. The story is HILARIOUS!!!! With capital EVERYTHING!!! I was laughing real hard watching the movie and it was early in the morning. The rest of the family had already slept. But all 4 of us were making noises laughing. And I'd still laugh whenever I watch that movie.!

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when Mama and the rest came back. We were acting as if they're just back and we're not curious of what happened. And we continued watching the movie. I got worried when we're done as I was worried if I'd have enough energy for the BIG day tomorrow. So I went straight to bed.

Until tomorrow..

- Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm home bound..
