My family’s Raya celebration was fantastic this year. Why? Because we get to celebrate it at our kampung obviously. All my siblings were there, I had fun with my nieces, my nephew and everybody else. When we first got there, there was no running water available. The funny thing is, this kind of thing happen almost every year when it is time for Raya celebrations. My aunt said it’s because there were not enough water when everyone balik kampung so they had to divert the water from our village to different areas. Don’t know if that’s true. But thankfully a lorry carrying tank water passed by so we managed to get our supply of water to do some cooking for break fasting and later that nite the water was back on running.
This year is the first time I bought myself baju raya. I only managed to buy one(not counting my other baju raya which was given to me by my mother). Didn’t have enough time. Mayb next year I can shop a little earlier. It was also the first time I bought a baju melayu for my dad. Thankfully with a little help from the shopkeeper I managed to find the perfect size for my dad. This year was also the first time that the ketupat and nasi himpit that we cooked was not cooked properly(jadi keras!). I think the problem was nobody was giving them a stir. I didn’t have time to look after them as I was looking after the rendang and doing other things. I only had a couple bite of the rendang since I know I can’t eat too much of it.
I have been late to work everyday this week. The traffic jam has been awful lately. Why is that? Especially near the Sg Besi toll. Is it because of the decrease of the oil prices or simply because they have moved the reload counter for touch n go? Beats me. And the traffic does not seem to subside even if I leave a little later to work. I have a feeling that I should leave for work earlier but currently I am having a hard time getting up a little earlier than 6.30 am. And I also can’t park at the area where I used to park. Those MBPJ officers seems to have a knack of giving out summonses for cars parked in that area so I had to park a little farther away.
There are things that u know u shouldn’t do but u do it anyway. For example, I just bought a bag that costs RM172. Is it worth it? Yes cause I like it very much. Do I feel guilty about it?. Yeah…I do. But just to justify it, I told myself that it is the birthday present I bought for myself. And how do I justify spending RM97 at the MPH warehose sale? Simple. Remember early this year, one of my resolution was to read at least one book every month? Well, the books I bought count for all the books I didn’t buy for the past months so now they are cheap I just buy them at one go. OK, now I will try not to splurge so much in the coming months and perhaps I could save some more money. Perhaps…
