Selamat Hari Raya

"Kepada para muslimin dan muslimat,
Arynne disini ingin mengambil kesempatan untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf zahir dan batin. Ingin jugak meminta maaf jikalau ada silap salah atau terkasar bahasa. Harap diampun kan segala silap Arynne semasa perkenalan dan persahabatan kita dan halalkan makan minum Arynne selama ini. Sekali lagi Arynne ingin mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.."

So since this is the hari raya season, and also because i already asked for forgiveness, I'm not gonna write posts that will make people mad. Of course, i also won't write about the emo dude cause SOMEONE don't like it though i don't know why he's acting that way.. HE don't have to tell me, but i can sense it when HE sent me sarcastic text messages after reading a CERTAIN post in my blog.. I'm not gonna say who he is though, and even if you guessed it right, you didn't hear it from me.. *smirk*

This hari raya season is kinda rushed, don't you think so.. Well, maybe it's just for my family. During the yesteryear, it's easy to predict my mom's off days cause it's fixed on Saturday and Sunday but now that she's already working in a hotel, her off days are unpredictable and sometimes she still need to work during the holiday. Therefore, we couldn't find time to spring clean to a crisp. We did everything last minute.. For the last two days of the fasting month, my mom took urgent leave so that we could 'operate' on the house.
Not only that, but hari raya is no more fun.. Firstly of course we, the adult child, won't get anymore 'duit raya'. Haha, so thick-skinned.. Secondly, cause it's not the holiday month so, after one day of celebration, we have to go back to school straight the next day..

Monday 23rd October 2006, it was of course the first day of school! Haha, i know it's stupid!! I still went anyway though.. So sweet, my friends missed me.. I don't know, haha my friends kinda commented on my outfit.. They said I'm morphing into someone different.. Well, here's the thing.. First semester, i dressed 'subtle goth' and they kinda thought I'm into ritual and stuffs.. Of course, on occasions i do still wear a normal top and jeans with my converse shoes..
Then, on the second semester, they said i dressed more punk/punk rock.. Jeesh, i don't know where they get the idea from.. I feel like I'm wearing the same thing everyday.. *wonder* Hmm, maybe cause everything's black, that's why.. Haha
Now, the third semester, they said I'm more emo-inspired.. Like what the hell!? From goth to emo, what a huge jump!! Well, i guess i did dress a little 'classic emo' on my first day.. Black and white concept.. But still, they have no rights to judge me, yeah? Whatever.. Hua hua..

First day of Raya, 24th October 2006, Tuesday was okay.. Everybody's wearing 'kain Songket' this year.. Violet cut her hair, and it's cute.. As usual, in the morning of Hari Raya, i was woken up by the banging on my door. Yeah, you guessed it.. It's my mom.. She told me to get up and help her cook and arrange the cookies in the tupperware.. After that, she told me to help her arrange flowers in the vase, which she then asked me to iron the 'baju kurung'.. While she mopped the floor and went to the market to buy drinks and ice, i took a short nap cause i was so freaking tired!! When she reached home, i need to wake up cause i need to help her with the finishing touches of the decorations.
well of course, after that my mom started nagging cause her son wouldn't wake up to help and didn't go for hari raya prayers.. Haha, it's the same old routine every year during hari raya..

I think around 12noon, after everything is done and my mom's watching malay shows on tele, i took my shower of course.. It was one of those showers where you already soap your body but you still feel the dust on your hands and your face, so you soap and shampoo one more time.. Haha, i think i soap around 3 to 4 times.. Here's the thing, i hate dust.. I get all sneezy and itchy once I'm in contact with dust, that's why i need to do all i can so i won't feel dusty.. Tee hee..
After bathing, i switched on both the air-con and the fan so i won't have to sweat in my baju kurung.. My Yishun neighbourhood is kinda close-packed, that's why it's hard for the wind to enter our house, so when it's so humid out there, it's even stuffier inside the house..
While waiting for Violet's family to come, i was wear my new emo-inspired black and white striped heeled pumps.. Haha, not 'jakun', just trying to make it seasoned so it's more comfortable for me to walk in.. Little did i know what's in store for me.. Violet came and made-up for me, cause i can never wear the eyeshadow right..
Well, when i asked for forgiveness from my mom, i can't hold back my tears.. And when i asked from my auntie, my tears just took its own sweet time to roll down my cheek.. Of course, having a huge ego i don't want people to see that I'm getting too emotional.. So i ran in my room and wiped my tears.. Well, we kinda got home late and i have school at 8am, so i bathed and then straightaway went to sleep.. Hugging my MattSander, i fell asleep just as soon as my head touched the pillow..

Oh yah, wanna know about my emo shoes.. Haha, well when i first wear it, it was loose.. VERY comfortable.. After a few trips, it became tighter.. Kinda weird, i thought shoes will become bigger when we wear them and walk in them but my shoes became SMALLER! I think my feet gained weight..

Haha, at the end of the day my feet was in excruciating pain, i was bare-footed while waiting for the cab to go home..
