When October Goes..

This is my life.
Everyday is another new story. 
Scratch what I said about September. October was probably more worse than any other month. I went through quite a few difficulties. But the worst is what I would blog about..



Downturn of October..

I lost my wallet..


I never thought this would be the most difficult thing for me, but it was. It took me weeks to finally get through it. I had many important things in my wallet and it was really demoralizing myself day by day. But I have my friends, particularly Calvin and Ho Kar Fei, to thank for "cheering me up". How? 

When I mention about my wallet going missing, the first thing they said was.. 

AGAIN?


so it was kinda a funny in a way. 


I also won't forget 
the beautiful girl who held my hand 
and told me everything was going to be ok. 
I have her to thank too.. :)




Well, now i'm getting through life. I still haven't done my IC, because of the tight schedule. So hopefully I'll get it done on Monday. And only after that I can get the rest of my life back together.


Besides the wallet incident, 

I realise the reality of life that not everyone will be the same. You tell me to stay the same, but its you who change.. You change everything about yourself that you keep me here pondering and wondering, should I still stay the same? or should I just go with the flow.. This is what you get for caring too much..


I don't care about you anymore! 
Stop pretending to know me so well when you fail to deliever! 


I only care for the people who I know will be there, the love of my life, my best buds, my familly..


Well, moving on..


October also was the month of festival. 2 in particular, Hari Raya and Deepavalli.


I went to a few open houses.. 

Sharir+Sharin, Amal, Nazim, Adilah, Liana'A, Syuhada, Sarah, Mogan for inviting me to your lovely home. I thanked you once, and I'll thank you again because it meant alot to me. Thank you.. :)



There was always going to be birthdays.. 

So here's a list of those who I remembered and for those I didn't put in here, don't take it to heart, you have yourself to blame for keeping a distance from me.



Anusha - 6 October
Joshua Jacob - 6 October
Fr. Mari Arokiam - 9 October
Afiqah Isabelle - 14 October
Nazir Amin - 20 October
WAYNE ROONEY - 24 October
Edwin VAN der SAR - 29 October
Amal Qhadeja - 27 October

These are the people I can remember so far..


SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF YOU!!


I also remembered,


Danniel, Gunalen, Alex, Selena, Dr Nathan, and another 4 other which I forgot their name.


I'm telling you this because they came to TGI Friday's KL, on Halloween's Night to celebrate their respective birthdays. 31st of October..
All of them hantu.. make my voice die..


Speaking of which, 
Yes..
I went to work on Halloween Day at TGI Friday's KL.


Steve Chang, my boss, called me on Wednesday to come work for him for that one Saturday. The best thing about working there is I get to be myself. I pratically keep myself occupied every single moment that I don't leave room for lonely thoughts or mind games. 


I was honestly, surprised and flattered by the fact that all of them, all of them, still remembers me. From the kitchen line shouted a foreign worker, Shankar. So did the rest who came in later than I did. All of them were shocked and happy to have me around. You could feel the sense of belonging there. 


It was as if I left a mark there. I was glad that I could be a help for them. My GM, said that the door is always open for me. In a way, I was without words. Lost..


But it was a good time at Friday's KL. 
Brings back so much memories.



And..


MY GIRLFRIEND IS THE BEST!! :)
hahaha..


So, as tomorrow is November.. So many things are bound to happen and I'll update as much as I could about the happenings around me..


So When October Goes, lets see a Life Changing November..

Friday, October 30, 2009

Help me out here please..







Yes.. to everyone..

I AM NOT WHAT I SEEM TO BE..

I am actually a random person..

In general I might be the person who sits alone and don't worry who is sitting infront, beside, or behind of me.

But there are times, I show a different side of me..

I wanted to post this because of what I heard from my classmate earlier today morning.

What did he say?
"In the kitchen, you're a totally different person."

I didn't realised that until he told me.

I get emo, I get hyper, I get bothered, I get blanked, I get lost, I feel found, I get sad, but I'll make it through..

I'm just like everyone else..


I get too bored sometimes..
Start feeling blank.. My mind takes over..

And i start feeling the way my mind wants me to..

But I don't blame anyone..


MY SUPERPOWERS..
IT WILL BEND..



ANOTHER SUPERPOWER..
IT WON'T FALL..




See what I mean??

=.="


I'm working at Friday's tomorrow. 
My boss want me to help out.. :)
I'll be more than glad to..

BACK TO MY ROOTS..
back to the mudd.. ;)

Arsenal vs Liverpool.. >.<

So, as requested by Navin. I'll blog about this..

So it was the round of 16 for the carling cup and Arsenal faces off Liverpool in the Emirates.

I didn't actually watch the match but Navin told me the score then I knew Liverpool lost, yet again, after their big win against United, to Arsenal.

According to one of my friends who is a fan of Liverpool, he said Liverpool played terribly. But I think that Arsenal played well. Because thats what the newspaper said.

So, lets get to the goals..

First goal was by a new-face in the Arsenal shirt.



Merida if not mistaken..

I heard his goal was quite stunning but never got the chance to see it.

Liverpool got the equaliser through errr.. Insua?
yea, I guess thats the name..





I think its a power volley, according to my other friend. A piledriver of a shot down Fabianski's way.

In the middle of the game, a very familiar incident happen.. GUESS WHAT???




BEACH BALL!!
o.O"

So the referee, Allan Wiley was more cautions of the situation and kicked it out.

Well, by now, Arsenal was dominating the game with more possession and game play. The goal was gonna come, and it came through Bendtnar..



It was a cheeky pass and a very well intercepted ball and a good finish straight on the top of the goal.

2-1 Arsenal won! :D

Oh wait..
This much talked about teenager that Liverpool signed, Aquila?


He made his appearance and again, the newspaper said he played very very well to impress Rafa Benitez..
Too bad it wasn't enough to give Liverpool a point.

So congratz to Arsenal! :)

Today

I went to college today and had 2 lectures.

One was food science. 

I wasn't paying much of any attention the whole time. I was doing the work given weeks ago and I managed to finish it just on time. This one time, we spoke about Bacteria & Virus. When our Lecturer used the word Bad Micro-organism, Aiman pointed at Gillian and voiced out "there's one right here".

and of course, Gillian replied pointing out Aiman..

"Theres a Virus here and a Bacteria here."

She blabbered out something else which i didn't quite remember but ended the sentences with..

"...you're a Micro-organism."

Aiman, well.. he gave me a big laugh when he said,

"You're a Mega-organism!"

As funny as that was, we can't ignore Ms Nancy's tongue slipped when she said noddles instead of finger nails..

It was funny in a way because she was showing her fingers and suddenly slipped out "do you know how long was his noddles?"

Well, things like this..
It's human error as I like to call it, and it was something to laugh on and forget the next day.

So, next was accounting.

This time, was our assessment.
Haihz, i spend almost 30 minutes looking and the white board and back at the paper and still had no idea of what I was doing. But I did what I know and thats it.

To my surprise, I was actually going home early this time.
11.30am and the train arrived just on time.

Good signs showing.

I walked to the bus station and SJ 32 was already waiting there.

Good good! :D

I stopped at nearby Rejab and walked to school. To my surprise, Loh and Choon Liong was already walking 100 metres infront of me. I just followed on walking and waiting to see if they actually would notice me and guess what..

They didn't. 
=.="

Well, they only realised I was behind them at the main entrance of the school.

Going back to school leh!
Walking down that lane to school, entering the school,
It felt so different in a T-shirt and slacks..


OK.. TIME FOR THE MIND TO TELL YOU STORIES..


(THIS IS RANDOM)


.... And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another, (Ooh)
And I saw her standing there....





I saw her standing there~~ :)

Well, not exactly, I saw her sitting there..
I wasn't planning on dancing.. =.='

I took my seat next to her and just looked..

Waiting for

something.. 

 anything.. 

 but nothing..



Call me crazy and weird,
I don't care..
cause you won't understand..

It was just for more-about 15 minutes or less.

Its not true when i say this,
But it was enough...
Enough to keep me waiting
for until the next time..
till the next time..

You and I.. 
become.. 
Us..

The Kops vs The Red Devils



So by now, all of you would have guest it..




Yes, Liverpool won last Sunday against Manchester United. But that still doesn't explain why I placed Liverpool's logo on my post. Well, I just want everyone to have a good look at the badge of the team who FINALLY.. FINALLLYYY WON a match.



I admit that Liverpool put up a good fight and won the game in the end. However, ridiculous incidents like Torres tripping on his own feet, and Carragher pulling Owen to the ground keeps you wondering if the referee was bribed.


Torres tripped on his own feet and Evra got a yellow card for that.. HUH???

OK FINE!

The last time around, Vidic brought down Gerrard that same way Owen was brought down, Vidic recieved a red card. Tell me why was Carragher still on the pitch the same incident on Owen? 

ok fine, referee's choice is final..
No arguments..



Van Der Sar proved why he was among the greatest keepers thanks to a few stunning saves. I was personally stunned by the actions.




So the 2 goal scorers were 




Fernando Torres and David Ngog


I admit that Torres goal was world class finish. Ngog, it was a counter-attack so he didn't had much of a choice than to score.









Owen and Rooney both played.. but sadly, both of them were not at their best against a "wounded" Liverpool.




To those Liverpool fans, I respect your courtesy of not showing off and bragging that you beat Manchester United. It shows that you are indeed use your brains and not your balls.



But to those Liverpool supporters, you people are PATHETIC. *(or as I like to call them, Tak tau malu people. )


Why so happy?? 
ok fine, happy also, what the hell? Insult Man U?

"MAN U ARE LOSERS?"

What the??

Aren't you that same Liverpool who lost your 4 games in a row???


ARE YOU STUPID or something???

See, as you can notice, I separated both Fans and Supporters.


Fans, I would say they are those die-hard football lovers. They know their team and follow all their matches.


Supporters, they are posers. A majority of them talk-bullshit but know nothing about the game. The only think they would possibilly know is that Liverpool is a team that has Gerrard as the captain and Torres as the striker.


I'm not against supporters or fans of Liverpool or any other clubs. Just that you people should really consider thinking of the situation before saying something.


Especially when you're talking to me about football. I don't like the fact that you only talk with your mouth and don't use your head. 


Well, congratz to Liverpool anyways..
You deserve the win. At least it keeps you in the title race and it is a big boost for you as much as it is for us.









All times like this, 
I always wonder, 
what if..
just what if..
Ruud van Nistelrooy was still around..

Laying on the Sunday Best..

Good Evening Readers..

Sorry for being too formal.. I'm feeling a little freaky.. :)

HEY guess what la!!

Just now, I took out my HP Deskjet printer from the box and plugged in on my old computer. I needed to use the scanner and it was working!! But thats not the case.

The thing is, I on my computer to do this. THERE was a bundle of soo many memories in there. Pictures of the glory days, notes, saved conferences, musics, and my old stuff.

Wow, i was amazed just to see all of it. I will try to transfer it to my laptop later this week.

But I just want to share something Vivien, Rainbow, Me, Aiman and Wayne did when we were too bored in class the other day.









































We wrote lines of lyrics from songs and we had to guess what song it was.
As you can see.. All of the writing quite cacated. Why?? it was written with our weaker hands.
Initially, it was Vivien and Me doing it, Rainbow did one then left, then came Aiman and lastly Wayne..


Soo, yea..
Who's writting belong to who?
you let me know..
I'll buy you a packet of Oreo if all correct..

Who's on the line?

Very rarely I get a phone call from my house line. I was taught not to encourage my friends to call my house phone and I rarely use the house phone to call anyone too.

Yesterday, however, I got the biggest shock for a while.

There was a phone call and I picked it up. A familiar voice on the other side of the phone.


"Hello?"

"Hi Remon! You remember me?"

"Hye! Errr.. Yea, Your voice is familiar but I don't recall. Who am I speaking to?"

"Its me, Ma"

THAT MOMENT, I ALMOST THREW MYSELF TO THE PHONE. 


MA?? OMG! HOW ARE YOU MAN!! ITS BEEN SOO FREAKING LONG WHERE ARE YOU?


I kinda spoke with no fullstops.

Then there was a grin on the otherside..

"Hehe, no la, Its me Kar Fei"

-.-"

Well, anyways, we talked a while on the phone and it was nice of him to call. For everyone's information, My DiGi died on me the other day. But I already fixed it.

So my DiGi is working. :)

Aiman's Super Service.. :)

I decided to wait for the pictures before actually blogging about it so well yea! :D

 Aiman invited us for his service..

He met me a week ahead of the service and said I must come. I was ever so delighted that Aiman actually invited me, along with Vivien and Rainbow.

So it was the big day and we went in the restaurant as Aiman guided us to our tables. Aiman was really a professional, pulling out the chair for Vivien and I to sit.

I was like,
wehy no need la.
But he insisted
Oii! must la. Got marks man!

So he was already so funny and its just hard for him to be serious. When he was serving he was trying ever so hard to be serious and Aiman, you did a good job. However, he was funny by nature and we laughed over lunch.

He recommended a drink which was called the "****", it looked alot like the drink our group made, but obviously la, Vivien and I didn't quite agree cause our drink was better! lol! Rainbow was straight-forward as she commented "NOT NICE!" lol!!

So to start the whole thing, Aiman served us our Bread and Butter while waiting for our Appertizers.


Serving the bread

So then Aiman, our server.
He brought a trolley with him, as he prepared for the Gurridon Service.



Time to play with the food! :D


Focus! Focus!!

Appertizer was Prawn Cocktail.

 
It was basically, prawn with lettuce, tomatoes, orange, 
lemon twist and cocktail sauce.


It was okok la.

While doing it, he was talking to us which I find a very strategic or good way of keeping your guest mind of the food so that the guest won't feel boring and disturb, because the Gurridon Service will take a long time.

While eating, Rainbow + Vivien + I was talking away and from time to time, Aiman came asking how was the food. It was good.. :)

There was one point when we asked Aiman to get us more bread. In which case, he did! :D
And wow, there was only one more packet of butter left, and he brought it for us and wow.




 He said, this was the best butter in the village! :D 


It was in fact, the last packet of butter in the kitchen, cause I remember hearing the other servers complaining there was no more butter.. lol!!!

So next was the maincourse,




 Grilled Chicken with Gravy Sauce

Hahaha.. so we continued eating and as usual, our ever present server came to check on us once in a while. He refilled the bottomless goblet and to check on the food.

So when we were done, Aiman came up to us and cleared the plates.


Clearing all the plates but 
still manages to strike up a pose.


Mr Alex caught him holding the plates that he was clearing right infront of me. Hahaha.. Oh yea! I remember, Mr Alex was being a little sarcastic about Aiman's Specs. "Do you have any bigger specs Aiman?"
lol!!

Next was the dessert, and guess what, it was non other than the Italians Tiramisu.. :)



Tiraamiisuu~~:)

So after we were done with our meals, Aiman cleared the table and made it spotless. :)

I had this urge to try the coffee served in the restaurant so I ordered for one. I think Vivien had that same feeling.



Serving the Coffee and Tea


So, in the end Aiman gave us the check and he kinda paid for the drink we ordered earlier. That was really thoughtful of him. I mean, I was flattered that he did that BUT when he had to put his words so magnificently, my whole expression changed. Vivien described my face as "teary". But honestly man, indeed I felt that genuine friendship bond at that moment.

For me, personally, the smallest thing anyone does for me, goes a long way. Not many people I know of has bought or spend me. Probably a few times but still I never learned the reaction for recieving, and therefore my reactions are just too new to that feeling.

I think the word for it is, touched by your actions.

Aiman, thank you soo much for inviting us, and serving us. It was superb service at the highest class. :) Ever present at the table, and if I had to give a tip, I would give $$100. But I no money.. lol!!


Thanks you so much! :)

Hi! My name is..

Hi people!
My name is REMON!

Remon Melchizedek Dass.

My full name is Remon Melchizedek Dass a/l Mariadass.

Whether you like it or not, I like my name.

So please.. please prenounce it properly..
To others le, don't give me other name..

I pity my Uncle who choose my name..

Terutamanya Puan Lay Bee..
APA LA LECTURER NI!
dah 2 kali berturut-turut panggil aku Desmond..


DESMOND?? 
REMON??

Hayoo~
I better bring a big name tag for her classes next time.. :)
Nothing la, first time she said Desmond, i thought she calling Navin. Suddenly she look at me, I also went blur..
Second time, i just put my head down and shook it sadly..

Hahahaha...


Nothing against Ms Lay Bee.
She's not the first person.
Got la some high school nightmares,
until my name kena call keledek.. -.-"
Hi! My name is!

CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United

Just now I watched the Manchester United game against CSKA Moscow. My dad was awake, my brother was awake..

Ok don't ask me why, but just now when I came home at 7pm, he kena nicely from me just because I caught him wearing a Man United jersey. It was his bad luck. I was in the Man United mood. But I was really hungry.

Well, getting back.

FYI,
Rooney didn't play, Owen didn't appear, I'm waiting for Macheda to play.. And Giggs also didn't play..

So it was Berbatov on top and Nani, Valencia at the wings..

United didn't really had any good luck with the Blue and Black jersey and signs were starting to show. That was until Valencia, of all players, smashed the ball to the back of the net in what seemed to be the last minutes of the game.



Its good that he is showing his worth now. He has already scored in 2 games for United and 1 International goal. Its 3 in 3 so its a good sign.

FINAL SCORE:

CSKA MOSCOW 0 - 1 MANCHESTER UNITED..

Funny thing was, I was talking to my brother about Manchester and it wasn't normal of me. I usually do what all big brothers do and ignore him, but I was talking and he was listening. Talk about football la. Then when he act smart, he will kena from me again..

HAHAHA..

Housekeeping Presentation..

We had Ms Lay Bee's Housekeeping Practical class today and it was presentation day. We were informed like 3 weeks ago to do a powerpoint presentation but we only did it in what seemed to be half a day before the actual presentation.

Rainbow and Vivien found most of the picture for the presentation the day before, and I asked Navin to help with the animation and background. So I had to just finish up what seemed to be a writers block.

I didn't really know what to do, so I just wrote and edited a few slides in the morning hours of presentation day. Yes, I woke up at 6am to do it.

When I saw the other 2 groups files, it was 7mb and 10mb respectively. Ours was barely 2mb. At that time, it felt like we didn't put too much work and effort on it.

But after the presentation, Vivien said it was good. I don't know if she was saying it to save our *water face, or it was good on its own. But after a while, it felt like we presented what we had to and the other groups just did excessive work.

Personally, I believe powerpoint is just for points. You don't write a paragraphs or stories in powerpoint. Thats exactly what we did. We made it simple and presentable and I think we did a great job.

One point I went blur was when the lecturer called my name for the group.
"Remon, its your groups turn".

I went o.O"

Weird..

One thing I think we should not repeat is the delaying in assignments.
 I don't want to stay up doing anything anymore..

Monday, October 19, 2009

Calm..

At the end of the day..
All I ever needed was just a phone call away..

She goes by the name of comfort.
Probably, thats what I've been missing for a while now..

Susan Boyle

To my college mates, yes, its the same name again.
 


For those who knows the name, Susan Boyle is a 47 year old spinster who took part in a tv show called Britain's Got Talent.

Some of you might hear this name from MSN or Yahoo News months ago. But there are some who never really got the idea of what she did.

I'll give you a look before I say anything.



When Mr Adrian showed this video during the Thinking Skills class, my eyes were wide open and I was infact curious. 
This was the first time I actually hear her for myself and to honest with everyone, this was sure a tear shedding moment. Why?

She sang this called entitled - I Dreamed A Dream.
No one knew this song very well, and for those who did knew laughed off cause they thought it was impossible for this women (Susan) to sing such a song. But Susan proved them wrong. She sang it and my gawd, she sang it so graciously.

The word that Amanda (one of the judge) used to explained it was.. "..you opened our eyes.."

Yes..
It opened our eyes.

In the society that we are living in today, I'M SORRY TO SAY, that people are very cynical and narrow minded. Alot of people tend to insult or make fun of this certain person who can't present themself in their best.

This video, this women, Susan Boyle, is a miracle. 
Though Susan settle for second place in the finals, but deep in our hearts, she will be number 1. Miss Susan Boyle, your courage and faith has opened the eyes of many around the world, including myself. I would personally want to thank you for that.

Coldplay at 12am..

Before the mighty Viva La Vida was introduced to the world..
Everyone was like..

"Coldplay who?" 
"What Coldplay??"

And now,

Coldplay is one of music's massive wonders.

Not only that they took the world by storm with their Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends album, but they introduced themselves to the world...


I begin listening to Coldplay's music since the age of 11 and I remember by heart the first ever song I listened to was Yellow.

The lyrics that really gave me "that feeling"..
I knew from that second that this was going to be my favorite band.

7 years from that day and now Viva La Vida..





Last night, I sat down watching MTV World Stage : Coldplay.

My Dad and brother was also watching it. Coldplay started with Life in Technicolor and continued playing. That one song that made my dad asked my brother to increase the volume was Viva La Vida. The second it played, my dad said "put some volume"

I know my dad loved it as much as I did. I also knew what other Coldplay songs he liked.
Next was my Dad's all time fav, Lost!

My dad got abit excited, I heard him hitting his legs and clapping his hands. He just loved the song. Everytime he held a guitar on his hand, this was one of the song that he would play. Everytime he did, it gave my the opportunity to join him. He would enjoy playing the solo's and I would go with the normal flow.

That, That exact moment..
I finally get to do something with my dad..
I do appreciate times like this when I get to help them..
When I get to join them in doing something..

Coldplay was dominating the world with their songs. It was no surprise at all that Coldplay was given a standing ovation in the end.





Oh and I.. just waiting till the shine wears of...


Coldplay..
just extraordinary..
Its save to say,
They are the Best British Band of our time..


Hari Raya Aidilfitri '09

So this post is particularly for those who has celebrated Hari Raya Aidilfitri..
Well, to be more exact, to those who actually invited me to their houses.


The first house I visited was Sharin and Sharir's house.. 



Yea, thats me in the middle with the rest of the gang who came along. 


As you can see, Ku Wei Xiong was missing..

So just to make it gang look complete, we made this bear become Ku Wei Xiong and started talking to him..



Makan2 time

But you know what, I'm not going to go deep into each houses, So i'm going to move on with the next one.

The same day, we went on a so-called "Rombongan" to Amal's house.






Pick cha! :)

To be honest with everyone, I'm not really close to Amal and I only went to the place because the majority of them was going. But she didn't bother too much, and she was indeed very pleased.

So after sometime, I think its on a Thursday if not mistaken..

Nazim!

 

My OLD SKINNY MAT SALLEH friend..



It was only today that I met Hafiz after, what seemed to be a million years!
Ok, exaggeration to the maximum i know..
But it was good to see him after a long time.


We went to Nazim's house after waiting at Kheng Wai's place.
It was his house warming/open house.
So as excited as he was to invite me over, I was excited as well.




So, we was in his house for a couple of hours.
He went M.I.A. for a while, but Naz's Mom was talking to me as she always would.
I don't know, its pretty weird.


When I entered his new place, i immediately felt like I was used to it. It was the atmosphere. Probably because I always visited his place back in the day, I was getting abit used to it. I was comfortable speaking to his family members. But nevertheless, I respected them as who they are. 

This was the first time in a long time I ate more than I could chew. I felt like a fat bear when he send me home.


So days gone by and the next thing you know, Calvin and I, along with Hafiz went to Pavillion with the other ex-classmates of ours.

After that, we went to Adilah's house.





So as usual, the guys behind and the shorties
opps.. i mean, girls infront.. 
lol..

Adilah, to me, was that hi-and-bye friend. I wasn't really close to her. Same case senario with Amal. But they were really nice and kept talking to me. I was happy with the hospitality I got from the both of them. The food in Adilah's house was western. Quite interesting..

Well, it was nice to see my school classmates after a long time. Hafiz, gosh, Damn that fella so skinny, but still fat. Hahahaha..

So after that the plan was to head to Shoey's house.
So while walking to her place, we dropped by Liana's place.




Well, we used Liana's gate as the camera holder. 

Hahaha..
Liana's mom as usual, was very very nice. She made us eat, made us drink.
We didn't really had much time, so we had to get out and get lost from her house.

But that short spell at her place was indeed one of those you feel that you're wanted.

Moving on..

After a 10 minute walk..
We reached Shoey's House



So we rounded it all of by visiting Shoey's house. 

It was nice to have all my muslim friends, including Anita, who I have not seen in a very very long time. Its nice to see everyone in the same living room after high school. It felt like being in the class room again. Only thing was Pn Jaya was missing. hahahaha..

Well, this was the day that Calvin and I did what many didn't do.
We spend 16 hours outside our house.

The Star.. The Hawk..

Anyways, moving to the final open house.

I almost didn't go for this open house because I got back late from college on Saturday but I'm glad I managed to. :)

Sarah and Kak Farah's house.



Groupie.. :)

This was the last open house I visited for the year for Raya. I caught up with most of the juniors. Some I meet along the way, but others I don't really meet. They were funny and in their own world as usual. Besides Sarah, Clarence, and Nazir, the rest of them was among themself. Something I wasn't surprised of. 

So, The food was really really good and the kuah for the ketupat was burning inside my stomach. I enjoyed the biscuits there too. That biscuit with the chocolate and white stripes on the top.

It was also nice to hear that Piano session by Sarah and Clarence.
Oh yea, thanks Sarah for that basic piano session. :)

Kak Farah was with her friends and I didn't know how to start a conversation. So, hmm.. i was lost..

Besides the food and the piano, I spent most of the time with Looi gazing into blank space. When almost all of Sarah's friend left,then come some of her family members.

Only at that point,
I realised what Hari Raya trully meant.
I witness what it felt like,
celebrating with family..



OK THEN...

Well, I just wanted to thank everyone for inviting me to your houses for Raya.
I'm sure you all have better people to invite than me, but still you had the courtesy and that open heart to invite me. So, thank you. I am happy to have been present at all your houses.

and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your joy of Hari Raya with me.
Thank you.
