Eid Mubarak

I'm not gonna wish you all a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, because in the previous post I practically draw a picture out wishing all a Happy Raya... &  One picture tells a thousand words.. 

Ah fine... Forget it.. maybe most of you does not acquire some abstract thinking skills, and may not interpret the picture as what I have in mind... so....

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI. MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN..... 

hehe...

So, this year Raya was kind of a quiet one... Not as "meriah" as previous years... Well, maybe because all of the happenings in Malaysia has just killed the festive spirit off.... Yeah... blame those assholes above .....

Well, as usual.. we went back to Port Dickson for Raya.. only this time... my bro wasn't here to celebrate because he's far away in Toronto.. partying..(ok, joking... studying? I presume...)

This year, Port Dickson was quite dead... It is usually dead.... but when it's festive season...it will kinda light up... well, at least the weather will be sunny and everybody will be happy raya-ing... BUT THIS YEAR... EVEN THE WEATHER WAS GLOOMY AND SAD...The good part is.. it's not tat hot.. but it's just so quiet...

Even the beaches are like..... (bunyi cengkerik)........


I know, sad right? I remembered when I was small, during Raya.. ALL the hotels would be full.. people have to book in advance to get to stay in a hotel.. This year, I think guys can do tokyo drift-Malaysian style in the car park...

Well, no matter how gloomy is Port Dickson.. no matter how quiet the beaches are...no matter how dead the place is....

I still.. get the chance to taste my atuk's Rendang Ayam.. 

ahh.. I was in heaven for 7 minutes... and then.. I was back to reality... of coz, it's nice to see my grandma again eventhough I just say Hi.. Yes, no, thank you... but she gives me warm hugs, and nice kisses on the cheek that made me feel like a small girl again.... hehe..

Ok.. 1st day of Raya is just like this..

Go Grandma house - eat rendang - go to the beach - build sandcastle - say bye bye - Back to Ipoh... 

2nd day of Raya...

- went up to Penang..

- got caught in a massive jam for 2 hours ... 

- no petrol

- U-turn to Perai to find Petrol station (and found one.. the car can just breakdown anytime..)

- Got stuck in Perai's traffic jam... because the ferry station was jam.. 

- Got stuck in another jam because of the Penang Bridge havoc

- Went back to Ipoh... 

Haven't even caught a glimpse of the bridge, we gave up and went home...

So much for Hari Raya... Well, I pitied the ones who are caught in the middle.. no.. actually I pitied the one coming down Penang... They obviously... had no idea what was coming ....
