Unconventional

 My raya was short and I like it that way :)


Others mostly blog about their trip back to their kampungs, visiting distant relatives, helping out with the raya delicacies while playing fire crackers with their cousins. Want to hear a story about an unconventional raya that city people like me do? Saddle up, bitches.

The night before Raya was spent scavenging through markets, finding last minute items in cheaper prices. I manage to find an awesome blue-gray see-through baju kurung to wear for my second day of Raya. Thanks to an added addition to my raya wardrobe, I went to sleep with a smile.

I woke up raya morning to an immediate shower and a 1/2 hour make up session. I ate my breakfast rendang while watching E News on TV. After picture taking, I head off to batu caves to meet my mum's family. We ate, took pictures and head off to my maktok's house.

All my cousins at maktok's house were gone when I arrived so after Rayaing with maktok, my sister and I crashed for a nap. By 6, the place was filled with people and Tiqa came. Eat, take pictures and then everyone went home.



Second day of Raya, we all woke up early but nobody came. So all of us took another nap until people started arriving at 12. By 3.30pm, Tess came and I let her eat my homemade roti jala. Then she, my sister and my cousin Aqil went to KLCC.



My sister and I reserved some speakers at the Ipod shop and since we had enough money to buy it, we took it without thought. Accomplishing buying speakers, we went for coffee at Starbucks and just hang. Tess went home by 6.30 and the 3 of us went shopping. We went to Banana Republic, Zara for Men, Gap and Mark's & Spencer to buy the perfect present for Aqil. He was there, trying on many different items of clothing but not knowing that we are buying it for him.

We bought an adorable navy sweater and gave it to him when he sent us home. He was surprised and it totally made my evening. That night, Tess called for a sleepover and I went. I hung out with her handsome men and we end up partying KL style till 5 in the morning. I could tell you more about this part, but its too good and too long to tell :P

The third day was spent hanging out at my my maktok's house, surfing the net and watching TV. There you go. My simple raya. Unconventional yet still memorable in may ways.

Busted!

School is over! Whats the problem? I got news from my sister that our prom which was held last year was discovered by the school authorities. Our principle announced it during assembly. She said that if we were to plan a party, we should do it together with the school. Then she said that the last school she became principle at, they had their prom with the school's help. It was an all girls school and they had the prom without any boys. Where's the fun in that? Boring gila sial! Plus all of us has finished school, we're not bounded to them anymore. So the party has nothing to do with the school. Its a party for studenta who left the school that year. Seriously, if we had the prom with the school's knowing, it would be a disaster . All we do is sit down and eat. No DJ, no performances, no Bunkface . Plus think of all the rules. Our dresses must be decent which means no sleeveless and nothing above the knee. Baik pakai baju kurung je! God the whole point of doing prom wi...

Breezy Island Getaway

By
At first I assumed that our trip to Penang would be simple. Honestly, I wasn't even looking forward to it but in the end I did enjoy myself. I thought we were staying in the city but it turned out we stayed at Batu Ferringhi which is near the beach. I didn't get to swim cause I didn't bring a swimsuit. I haven't been to Penang for years now and when I was there, I feel like I want to retire there. The atmosphere there is awesome. Its so laid back and carefree. I can see myself in a floral summer dress with my sunglasses and flip flops, wandering around the beach every morning. The night flea market there was so much fun. I wanted to buy this turqoise bracelet which is similar to the one Bella wore in twilight but it was too damn expensive. Sheesh.... When we were there, I thought I could leave all my KL problems for a while and just relax. Then my dad called and ruined everything. It seems like since SPM ended, he is always bringing me bad news. I'm effing annoyed ...

Simple to Sour ( A Fucked Up Birthday)

By
My grandparents screw up everything! They are toxic! FYI- I am currently crying and I'm too mad to hold back any tears. I don't care, all i wanna do is get this out. I'll call Nurul or Jasmin or Mia after this to let out my feelings. I don't expect anything extravagant from my grandparents. They are old and don't believe in celebrating birthdays. To them, it's just another normal day.  I was surprised when I came home to see my maid cooking my favorite kuih gulung and she said that my grandfather is at Nikko Hatel buying my birthday cake. So before dinner, my grandmother confronted me and asked me why didn't I tell her about my party this weekend. There are a few reasons why I didn't tell her: 1) I didn't bother because she's not gonna be there anyway 2) I am going to be with my dad that weekend so she doesn't have to worry about anything 3) I'm not using her money 4) Nothing would change if she did knew about it She was mad saying th...
