anyway, lemme tell you a lil bit about raya history.
hari raya is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. it is usually filled with reuniting with beloved friends and family (mcm digi lah pulak.), atonement or forgiving and apologising with relatives and not to forget:
lots and a whole loads of FOOD. googlicious examples:
<----ketupat
<-------------satay
<------------Sarawak kek lapis @ layered cakeand many2 more treats and tidbits, sweet, savoury, sour you name it! we got it (almost!) all. haha~
anyway, im looking forward to having my raya this year, it's pretty dang exciting. since im away from family, this would be my first real 'Balik kampung' experience. if you were with your family and you balik kampung to more relatives, that's like old story, man. this is what balik kampung means! 'Balik kampung' are best defined by university students who's away from family, you know. and of course other people under similar circumstances but right now im just gona focus on me.
my dad inbox-ed me in fb, awaiting for my arrival. my aunt did the same too. i was touched. :')
it seems that people do care about me. awwwh. hehe.
melencong sikit dari raya excitement, yesterday was a TIRING and EXHAUSTING day for me and my two gal pals, NORA and IFFA. we went out to town and we shopped and walked around and went on a sampan @ penambang and break our fast at some village stalls named kampung Boyan.
we ate nasi goreng tsunami, which was super awesome. it is this fried rice wrapped in fried egg and surrounded with tomato-ish soup or kuah. it's pretty good. next time i want to try their seafood rice. the prawns are delish! i am a shrimp liker. hee.
so, in conclusion, i am SUPER DUPER excited for raya and i am also going to be SUPER DUPER late if i dont log out and get moving to class now. haha!
p/s: I just love rambling, dont i? :P
