hari raya aidilfitri 2006 is great so far. it made me realise that i'm on the fast track to adulthood already going thru these few days. well, it's not actually a crash course but yeah i had my fair share of celebrating when i was a kid but then this year, it just seems that the kids have grown up, uncles and aunts become grandpa and grandma and grandma just upgraded herself to grand-grandma. well anyway, the day of aidilfitri didn't come just like that. the fasting month come and go and yeah the deeds along the way matters. anyway, i'll share with you some of the highlights taken by me and my 350D.
cleaning is a bummer but then again, it's once a year.
i call this synchronised wiping...
and yes... mum's the director, my younger bro's a second-hand man, my elder bro's just there to dig his nose and me, i'm just a slave... thank goodness it's once a year.
roll out the red carpet and you might find yourself a piece of salted fish...
halfway thru and they're taking a break... sheessh... can't blame her... it's CSI.
curtains go up and the wind picks up too.... sweeeeet...
The actual day comes and well this year's photo didn't turn out as lively as i hoped it would turn out to be. dad's gone fat and my siblings well... look at em... they're all grown up... and mum still looks the same.
oooo.... emo on hari raya...
this is hana... the clever little two year old. sweeeeet girl and she's my niece. yes i'm an uncle to her.
and this little mohawker is hairul mukris... and yes he's my nephew. awesome dude. little hassles plus all the fun. more of him to come.
my elder bro, me and kak fil. yeah....
the three stooges/rascals. when there's just no more space in the house, you gotta take it outside. the world's not big enough for all of us....
mukris...
and him again... awwww...
my bro... drinking coke and driving away the killer suckers with smoke...
wak noh... he's a kampong guy... my uncle too.
kampong gangsters... and they're my uncles too....
uncle arif... pimp my ride please...
the girls... a whole bunch of em...
hana and dad, abang anis.
they have evolved into balls now!!
yeah this is the brady bunch... not all of em though... we're still missing a couple of families here...
i'm as lazy as the haze. not that lazy lah but it's like i'm finding an excuse for everythin that i dun wanna do. the haze is the favourite reason for the month i guess... i signed up for something in which i know that if i don't start training right now, i'd probably just waste my time and drop dead halfway. however, it seems like the elements are against me now. the haze, fasting month, burnt out off days and preparing for things that i dun even know i have to prepare for.
so in short... run juff... run...
work's been a bitch where everyone's acting like some dumb ass schoolkids splitting into little cliques and hiding up in a tree after school to smoke weed. well, in my opinion, some people are just meant to be insensitive and inconsiderate buffoons. one little advice for those planning events. LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN MONTH, LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN TIME AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, COULD YOU AT LEAST BE AWARE OF YOUR GOD DAMN SURROUNDINGS AND THINK FOR ONCE THAT YOU ARE NOT LIVING ALONE IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN WORLD. attendance can't be full when it's like the fasting month and you're organising a chalet. and you're talking about waste of food? my ass!! to hell with your damn food. did you even consider that some of us have a more solid role to play even after the breaking of fast? hell i don't know about you... but it sure sets me thinking.
i shall not elaborate further. if you think the virtual letter is a powerful tool, then i guess i'll set it on backfire mode.
this year's fasting month is really the ultimate test of my patience. put me thru a 10 km run, make me do statics for a an hour or two... but don't test me on my moral grounds. you might end up a pulp for all i care. idiots...
anyway, moving on... this year will be the last time i'll be spending time here celebrating hari raya cos the half of the boxes are packed, the house is looking a lot more spacious and everything's kinda neatly stacked. yeah i'm shippin out of my 17 year dome. moving into another land where it's like 2 minutes away from my dearest. the irony. but if that's what my mum wants then so be it.
years spent in this little cabin, been calling it home. somewhere to escape from everything i faced outside. i grew up here and it'll be really sad to leave. but i guess it's all the same in the end. hmmm come to think of it, it's tough to say goodbye cos we kinda went thru everything here and to just leave it and settle for a new future seems kinda weird.
so james, and jovan, i'm really sorry lads. i'm gonna miss you guys. the walks back from secondary school. the hangouts late at night and spending countless hours talking about the days of our lives will always be treasured. thanx for the memories. won't be the same without you guys being just around the corner. but i promise we'll hang around again aight. my workplace's around the corner anyway. so we'll hang around whenever we have the time to.
it's just sad leaving this dome i call a home. but the time is drawing near. i'll be out by mid November.
