dear bloggy...
i know that i didnt update much this past month..well..its syawal niwaes, so do forgive me..
hmm..now where shud i start with this post? hehe..
okay2...what abt preparation for syawal?
hehe..
well..so u see..
for syawal, alot of preparations have to be done..but for me and my family..it was low-key unlike previous years..especially abt gg to geylang up to 5-6 times...this yr, we oni went 3 times..and once was just so-called recce for items..haha..
but it was a busy month for me during ramadhan..because i had fyp..and meetings...and well..practically everyday someone wants me to break fast with them...
it was tiring okay... =S
niwaes, this yr..my family's colour theme was grey and green..haha..i mean, one suit was a grey and black kebaya while the green suit is a mini kurung aka kurung moden..the grey one didnt take that long to find since it was tailored, but the green one took forever for me to find a suitable one..cos well..my dearest mummy didnt like the ones i chose..she said it was too tight, too transparent, no lining, too expensive..haha..but luckily found one which she was agreeable with..
and for me, its a MUST for me to get a henna each time for syawal..well...cos its the oni time i can wear henna without ppl asking me why i do so..but i hate it whenever ppl say its not in our culture to do so..so heck it lar! i like it..and no one can make me change my decision...so i did one with the help of my mum's friend's daughter who does it so beautifully..hehe..and every yr i go to her to do henna for me..hehe..
this yr...instead of spending first day of syawal in singapore..my whole family together with my 1st and 2nd paternal uncles spent it in malaysia..in my paternal kampung..in tangkak and we also went to melaka to my uncle's wife's kampung in melaka..all the visiting in 2 days...TIRING okay! for the first day..my family was in blue...while on the second..we were in gold..hehe..all in all..i had fun in kampung..cos i get to isit my relatives there whom i rarely meet..and of course me and my cuzzins get to play firecrackers! which are banned in singapore..hehe..
apart from my meetings that are always ongoing, i still make time for jalan raya (visiting) with frens too...up to date..i have gone with my dbt frens, with my msg frens, my pri sch frens and my silat frens! hehe..had planned to go with my besties and my ex-madrasah frens..but we are always2 busy..so maybe we haf to forgo it..this past wk was the most tiring as i had went for visiting for 5 days straight! i even hurt my butt when i fell during a visit to johore..but i think i haf to give credit to my poor, sore, aching feet..cos i went visiting in high heels which is something i rarely do..hehe..
lastly...a few things did happened during this past mth too...abt love life i mean..
well..i haf made up my mind to stay single until i grad..though i had to hurt sumone's feelings..i think its still for the better...
so till then ppl..celebrate till syawal ends!
and STOP SAYING,' JALAN RAYA IS SO BASI (STALE)!'
u noe what i mean rite..
cos well..the idea of jalan raya is to visit ppl whom u rarely meet..esp those relatives who u meet once a yr..so its not ever BASI to visit these ppl..WHY? cos...we are encouraged to strengthen ties btwn fellow muslims and nvr ever to severe ties with anyone..and to me..this applies to non-muslim frens too..
and if ever anione is gg to debate with me abt the fact that Hari Raya is oni for a day...i think, u guys are delusional..cos well..i think u guys just dun grasp the true meaning of Syawal..maybe u guys are just thinking of getting the green packets or dreading giving out the green packets since most of u guys who said this are working adults..SHAME ON YOU!
niwaes...i have said my point..up to u if u want to comment or not..
diana..
