satu hari di hari raya

Have i blogged about how my Raya celebration went? Hmm, i guess not. It was fun lah, except for the fact that mum was still cooking lontong up till yesterday. I want RICE AND REAL FOOD!!! i cant take lontong anymore, its not filling, tak kenyang lah, menambah kembung perut lagi ader. And mak's sambal satay is abit kureng oomph this year, maybe she was too kelam kabut, or maybe its just me.

Malas nak cerita pasal 1st few days raya. As usual a bit of tearshed and loads of 'tak tahan ar, ngantuk seh' on my part so let me just talk about the weekend jalan raya. We reached Mama's house( my aunt, not mama Yoda) early in the morning, ard 11 plus. Ni dah kira siang cos she lives ard tiong bahru. And we(adik,itek and i) had maggi mee for breakfast since i was soo sick of lontong. 2 packets of maggi divided by 4 (in the end yati didnt eat her share.Damn that frog!!) is not enough i tell you. As i was saying, went to mama's house, waited while she cook. The kari daging was spicy, yummy. Oh, the menu was roti kirai, ayam goreng jintan, hotdogs, nuggets, mee siam goreng (which i didnt eat, nyesal aku) and bubur pulut hitam. and we waited for pak long to reach but then realised that it would take hours for us to reach tok chik's house at pasir ris, so we made our way to the other end of singapore, full of semangat and not to forget, food.

By the time we reached pasir ris, smue da senget. Lepas tu, sampai rumah tok chik jer smue lepak. terbaring macam puasa enam. Tiong bahru to pasir ris, its a damn long ride kan? anyway, tunggu mak itam lambat, even though they came by car, and after all of us mencekik tok chik's mee goreng, we set off to tok long's house, which by the way, is on the other end of singapore. Yes, its at BOON LAY. Power kan?

Baba only realised that his anak sedare was MIA after a few stops from pasir ris mrt. Hihihi, kelakar, macam mane budak tu bole tertinggal? And when we reach tok long's house, everyone wanted to use the toilet. it was a long journey i tell you. Pastu pat sane, serve lontong jugak. Aiseyman, nasib baik ader sambal tumis udang(anything that has udang, i LOIKE) dan aku pun da lapar balik, so back to the dining table, mencekik lagilah...

took pictures, went to abg jalal's house, served us mee goreng, ayam goreng. Fuyoo, im beginning to love these people. Normal food for hari raya. How great is that? Its wonderful, and i dont want to see lontong for the rest of next month. NO MORE!!! Last stop was tok otak's house, and then balik lah.

maybe i will upload pictures when im free, then my horrible/oklah haircut will be forever remembered. Hey, lebih baik print at kedai,hmmm. lepas dapat gajilah baru aku print. This year we really have a lot of photos, 1st time raya with own digicam katakan. Ahh..'house' is at 10pm today, i will not miss it again. Ciao

post hari raya

Well, well, well. I guess the curry puffs that chelle sent were so loaded with happy pills that i wasnt even bothered or flustered when people say that they prefer my longer hair to my new cropped short hair. Hmm.. must be the festive mood that's making me all happy and whatever. Seriously man, this could be the worst haircut ever and im not even embarrassed. More like i cant be bothered.

Back to work, so very bosan. I am beginning to get bored of all these deadlines and all the calling this person, calling that person. Check whether they have stock, follow up on this closely. Blah blah, ding, ding, dong, dong. Humph, when will i be free to just sit and write? Not that i have the talent in writing as i've repeated oh so many times, just that i always feel inspired but then, cluck, cluck, cluck. Oh my, something's wrong with my fingers, they have a mind of their own.

But really, everyone seem to have that special someone and they kept asking me to find one. Am i that pathetic to never have one at this age? I guess i am but im just not that sociable a person. Not like norain or aimi and especially dayah whom i havent seen for so, many, many months. Then how the hell am i suppose to find you? Every girl dreams about having a prince charming but i would just be happy with a nice funny and sometimes crazy person. Gee, this is all so girly girl. Let's change the subject.

My throat and stomach hurts due to all the lontong and fizzy drinks. I think i might be coming down with a sore throat and maybe fever, who knows. Oh yeah, it was nice to visit the old dude and lehning on monday. Thanks CT for accompanying me. We talked with the old dude, and lehning (which was only for a measly 5 mins or less, dammit). They are separated from school of BE and yeah, everything's changed. They have their own building which was big and looked so raw. The old dude has his own room and a bad window view of SP. It would've been fun to have the whole AFM gang visiting him but then, i was too lazy to contact the rest and norain had to go johor. Boooo..

So yeah, my schedule's very crappy and not to mention out of this world so i think i'd better work on the almost going to be backlog stuff. Adios amigos people. And yeah, i love irwansyah soo much, though i dont understand why he's going out with acha septriasa.

epiphany of sorts?

Maybe the sleeplessness that i had last night was an omen, or a foreboding of things to come today. A lot of things were going through my mind, so much so that i couldnt even close my eyes. I was wide awake until 2 plus in the morning. Thinking. Just thinking of what's happened. And this morning, i had a lecture from Mama Yoda. It hurts because some of it is true. But the part where she said im protecting myself before others and not thinking of others is not true. I try to not to step on people's way, i dont want to make people angry or get them into trouble because of me. But people keep saying that i dont want to be responsible. No, its not that i dont want to be responsible. Its just that i dont know how to handle it. Like what happened two days ago. I finally understood my mistake after Mama Yoda repeated it twice. It finally dawned on me, you know, like the lightbulb that just goes ting!, that yeah, i was being the stupid little girl too scared to be responsible. And it sucks to know that i was so blind and insensitive to my colleague's feelings. And now its bugging me because i might have, unknowingly, done it to my other colleague as well. She should have given me this lecture long ago. Now i feel so,so stupid. No, much worst than stupid but my vocab is limited right now due to all this guilt. Sigh. How do i make up to these people?

And another thing, i received a message from YOU in friendster. YOU who i tried not to remember or associate with 'that incident' because the wound is still very deep. The message made it even worst, its like putting salt on my wound. Im not ready to forget, not ready to forgive, not ready to make any moves. It hurts a lot. The more i think about it, the more i get confused. No, as far as im concerned, that was a black episode in our lives and i dont want to remember it at all. It still hurts very much. Im not going to reply the message. Im sorry for being selfish, i know its like, 3 days to hari raya but i cant pretend everything's fine and dandy and smile at YOU because only God knows how it hurts. Only God knows what really happened and if its true, then that person (whom YOU said did that thing) will have to deal with God, will have to answer to God, not with us. That person will have to seek forgiveness from God. In the end, i dont know what to say or think anymore. i dont even know who's lying or telling the truth.

Its not that i dont miss YOU, its just that circumstances has led to all this loathing and resentment and because this incident caused the person i love most to cry, that made the anger and hatred more important or to put it in a correct term, justifiable. The person whom i spent my whole 20 years with, where i was very close with for 9 whole months, was reduced to tears and looked so lost and helpless. Tell me what else i could do but to instantly nurture all this negative feelings. Because i am only human.

But if you, the person who wrote me the message in friendster, happened to read this blog (i put my blog add at friendster, should take it out later), Im telling you im not ready yet. We might meet during hari raya but i will not know what to say or how to react upon seeing you. I might just pretend you dont exist or i might smile and make small talk, seriously i dont know what i would do. Maybe i would strangle you or stab that person to death. Maybe. Life is too short to be harbouring ill feelings, hatred and animosity sesama insan but, as i've said earlier on, i am only human. Blood is thicker than water, you should know what this means. We'll see what happens when the time comes.

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya to all my muslim friends out there. Semoga Ramadhan tahun ini telah menyedarkan kita tentang kesilapan kita.
