raya.raya.raya

I was having a blast blessed raya especially based on the event I attended yesterday – I mean, finally! Me, Shaz, Tina, Ayu were visiting each other’s houses– well actually they visited mine the day before.

I recall this song:

“setahun hanya sekali, merayakan hari yang mulia ini”

However I got my own perspective of celebrating hari raya, as follows:

“setahun, hanya sebulan, namun setahun hanya sekali berpeluang berjumpa dengan saudara mara dan sahabat handai” (do not sing as this one got no tempo at all. It does not mean for singing, it is just my definition, people!!)

Ok, let’s begin with yesterday

Yesterday was:

1. Awesome; as finally we managed to do something according to plan. I believe it is now getting harder and harder for us to reunite. Tina - she’s a wifey already, Shaz – she’s busy even though people might think that she got the best carrier in the world, Ayu – well, she’s getting married, me – no comment.

2. Not so awesome for me; as I totally behaved (betul ke past tense ni, rasa cam lain macam) like a typical Melayu – turned up almost an hour late! Didn’t mean to say anything negative about my own race, but it is just perspective yang typical only. For that I would like to publicly apologize to my BFFs.

3. Great; as finally we’ve got the chance to visit Tina’s new house and Shaz’s new apartment in group. Obviously, they are all very jealous of me (or at least I think they are) because yesterday was my third time to Shaz’s (because it was for the first time for Tina).

4. Inspiring; as we were reminiscing our good old times back when we were in high school. And sometimes, we came across something that we’d never know or realized before – GREAT!!

5. Totally best; as we are still friends and contacting each other despite all the commitments we may or may not have. SUPERBeLLICIOUS!!!

Those were yesterday. My first raya was:

1. =( ; as only my Pak Ngah and family and Pak Cu turned up this year. Such a small family like ours – it was pathetic (I know, my relative may read this, but honestly this is how I feel) – though on raya-3 or 4 we got to meet each other, finally (hmm..)

2. =( ; as I waited the whole day for my family to visit us, but in vain until I felt asleep few times.

3. =( ; of course sedih coz for the first time me berjauhan dengan yang tersayang (but I still feel great about it as I know he was having fun with his relatives at his kampong)

On a lighter note, this raya was a bit different compared any other raya before as; for the first time me raya with status “in a relationship”. First time, indeed.

That’s it for Raya entry. Ok, ok I know, a lot of grammatical error, kan?? Ntah, rasa awkward lak nak tulis ari ni. Rasa semua serba tak kena. In fact, most of the time I hit ‘backspace’ throughout this entry (in fact #2, few times I hit ‘backspace’ in order to get the right spelling for throughout, napa eq??)

…bersambung, raya tahun depan : 1432

STRIKE - All the way

Oopss, this is only related to bowling, but it's closely related to some good times I had with my BFFs~~

#One : It's not about winning, it's always about having FUN

#Two : Friends for Eternity

#Three : Left hand may comes in handy for some right-handed (but not for me)

#Four : "Aim for the arrows, not the pins" say professionals. If this doesn't work, refer to #One

#Five : Strike a POSE whenever possible

#Six : Prior to point #One, try some motivations when it's a straight strike to the longkang

#Seven : Prior to #Six though, some hoorrays will work even if it’s not a ‘strike’!

#Eight : Don't look at others' scoreboards. It is just like looking at Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur! Refer to point #One, #Six and #Seven

#Nine : Improve your CONGAKsss!!! It’s not only useful to detect any miscalculations by the scoreboard; but it’s helpful for a lot of other things too

(>>new entrance)#Ten : Besides the volume of the people, it is best to consider the uniformed attire of the warongs' / restaurants' "baristas" (appropriate term for waiters / waitresses); before choosing the chosen warong / restaurant to go to~~

Follow these tips / methodologies / ideologies at your own risk. However the author is strongly recommending referring back to point #One if any of the tips / methodologies / ideologies just seems not to be workable at all.

Welcome to the 2nd half of 2010

Today is the first day of our 2nd half of 2010.
Let's renew our resolution

GO GO!! it's time for a little exercise, dear~~

Dear Me,

Did you know that by consuming in large quantity of the chocolates that you bought last 2 weeks at the Fair is currently affecting the sizes of your face (embarassing), your back (ouch!), your waistline (yup, I'm suffering in my tight pants right now!) and your tummy (so, so true~~)??


So, on behalf of your plumpier body, I'm insisting and urging you to do something about it; and this should be an easy task:


Back from work, go straight to jog at padang starting tomorrow - 22 June 2010.

p/s: don't forget to bring your suitable attires tomorrow, kay! and please stick to the plan on daily basis (working day), with exception on rainy days, ok dear??

Yours faithfully,

L5 (the person who loves you the most)

The following is the story that I supposed to post here before, but since the setting was not that satisfying at that moment, I had decided to post it on Facebook instead.

For personal satisfaction, I'd like to do what I should have done before... hit it!

Catch it while stocks last; Danga City Mall 4-6 June (the EXPO building though, as I was a bit lost gak tadikk, first time here since the change from Best World to City Mall)

What you can say about women and chocolate? I’d say, MAGNETIC!! I’m not sure, but at times like this, some time in a month (which most women will understand; can relate to), chocolate is the best treatment EVER. Some say shopping, but shopping for chocolate is like Heaven on Earth! Just put aside our diet plan for a while, chocolate is irresistible. Personally, it is far way better-feelings that falingl in love with the wrong man. Wayyy better (apelah, ofkoslah).This is the best ever. It was so unbelievable that they were all surrounding me. Obsession. Possession. CONFUSION!! So many chocolate and; never thought it’ll be so many that I brought home too. And guess what; I also got the opportunity learning some itsy bitsy tiny bit of Russian language besides testing and tasting and wanting the chocolate.Unbelievable. And, it also considered lucky for me, as I was doing this craziness-madness alone - if I were with somebody else, this will be the most embarrassing moment in my life. Ever! It’s like; I’m not behaving like myself right now. I mean I was talking to my chocolates on my way home, what can you say bout that!

I just had my HRM exam earlier this afternoon (almost forgotten). All the stress from not able to answer the questions; just because the habit of last minute study and still thinking that, hey Halima's brain can absorb all of that last-minute revision at once, crazy; all of that disappear, when chocolate hit my taste buds. People says, if something went wrong, there is a price we have to pay. This (the purchase of THE beloved choc.o.late.s) is like the advance payment if I fail in my exam. I’m not looking forward to fail, but the possibility is still there~~Goodness, my friend, I mean my BFF; you know that I have some kinda financial planning this year. But look at what I spent my money on. I mean, when it comes to chocolate, everything else just don’t make sense! And, BFF, tell me who is the chocolate maniac now, ha? You didn’t see that comin’, aight?

And, unfortunately, to my auntie, hehe whose I still owe her RM400++, sorry, she’ll have to wait another one more month for the repayment (Included in this note, just to make myself feel less guilty..)

And the plan for adopting a cat in SPCA – owh, my brain JUST cannot take the pressure. Chocolate, cat, chocolate, cat – which one should come first? Argh, it hurts just to think of it.

This event came too early than the kick-off of my own blog. Yes, I’ve my own blog already! It’s just still an empty space in this cyber world currently. Well, I’m not going to promote it, but you guys may or may not check that out later. I was thinking, this should be my first posting; overriding the article that I’ve prepared before, but this thing; can't wait~~

And this chocolate thing, I think it is way better feeling-good feeling than it was back in Secondary school – whereby lepak kat CS or mase kat GS duluhh lepak kat Best World and beli chocolate. Those were luxurious, this is EXCLUSIVE.OK. Enuff already! Better get back to my Communication and Computer!! Or rather – better get back to my cho ko la’ tae

... yes, I'm mad about chocolate
