One word for this Aidilfitri, "Kecoh-ness".

First day of Raya, was celebrated with mama's side of the family since nenek (mama's mother) is here. It was ultimate coziness, with uncles and aunties and cousins and new additions to the family, my nieces and nephews. Teasing and laughing all day, makes up the feeling of exhaustion at the end of the night.

Second day onwards, visiting to close and extended relatives homes, rendang, ketupat, lodeh, sambal goreng, its a wonder how we were able to keep stuffing ourselves with these galores house after each house..and that excluding all the kuihs and 'gas' drinks?! Had a 'champion' briyani yesterday at my aunt's house (dad's side), i cannot bring myself not to eat at her house since im her slave to her delicious cooking la..

Other then these, only during Raya will i get confused all over again, what with all the 'pupu, sepupu, dua pupu, anak makcik pakcik datuk nenek sedara', for example getting to know new faces that magically resurface and i found out somehow we are related,or for the fact that its very hard to keep track on my extended relatives especially dad's side.

** One incident left me bewildered though, i was doing the necessary 'selamat hari raya, maaf zahit batin, halalkan makan minum cik _____" ,my aunt response "ok sama-samala cik doa lis temu dengan jodoh cepat-cepat eh insyallah" kisses and hugs included!

The thing is im only 21, of all things she doa for me jodoh i could not help but felt embarrassed k!

Luckily my uncle responded, 'apela bukan nak doakan dapat keje gaji besar murah rezeki, dapat jodoh pulak awak ni',

Thank goodness! but then again its not so bad after all aye..?if i actually found a soulmate 'cepat-cepat'..??

hehehe

On another note, i realise i miss someone (and no it doesnt mean a particular 'someone') telling me 'i love you'..

Do you know what this means? it means ive been watching a lot OF malay movies marathon, that has been showing on tv, believe it or not i actually teared watching one of those, wont mention the name of that bloody movie title, which ive NOT done before watching these kind of malay 'cintan-cintun' movies and teared, no pun intended..!
