Yes, I managed to make it back here! Haha… It has been a crazy week for me and there is an outdated event that I meant to post it as soon as I am free.

And it was the Raya Outing that me and my polymates together with our significant others, on the 18th Oct, which started at my house. I cooked, mind you! Ok, only made the roti kirai… My mum made the rest (spaghetti, kari daging and salad), I think made her exhausted. Haha. Just before we left to the next house, my mum said, in SEVEN years, bring along our spouses and KIDS. Hmm.

The colour for that day was BLUE! Yes, for some reason, most wore blue… Initially I planned to wear blue, but since I had worn it for the previous jalan raya, I decided to go with my macamnaktunang baju raya. Heh.

This year, we hired a van, and please next year can we have cars since we have people among us who can drive??? Organizing director for next year jalan raya outing, please consider my suggestion. =)

We took lots and lots and lots of photos! Fuhyoh…. agaknya pengantin pun kalah norh. Some of us brought along cameras and the last time we checked with Farha at Herna’s house (5th house at the time, out of 10 houses), her camera alone had already taken about ONE HUNDRED photos. *Sesame Street Count Dracula laugh* So imagine all the cameras combined, the total number of photos…. I’ll say it again – agaknya pengantin pun kalah norh.

Unknown to me, they actually planned a surprise for me to celebrate my birthday in advance, at Amira’s house! I wanted to use the toilet in the kitchen, but then Amira said someone was in the toilet… Padahal, takder orang dalam toilet, but someone was taking out the cake in the kitchen la! Nasib baik aku tak terkucil kat living room kau, Mira… Lol. So while waiting and talking to Tok, I heard a birthday song and aku punya blur, I even asked Herna (to re-confirm),”Are you guys singing it to me?”

And it was a DORAEMON CAKE!!!!!!! I LOIKE! Sedap pulak tu… Not so much cream, like XXXXX cakes.

We ended everything by 11plus, and that is by far, the earliest time we ended our raya outing. Haha.

Then 22nd October finally came… Other than the birthday well wishes from family and friends, I didn’t feel anything special. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I was hoping for Tok to jump out from the bushes near my client’s place and surprise me with a bouquet of flowers, or a jet plane to fly and write ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!’ with smoke in the blue sky (that day was raining la)… it just felt like a normal ordinary day, however, it was a great normal day…

Because I got to see my Tok, I got to go back to the mosque (for SPIB) and see the staff and asatizahs, and I got to see the Azam kids. =D

And finally, my family ended the great day off with a birthday cake and some food from Old Chang Kee. After that was ZzZZZzzzZZ…

So before I end this post off, let me thank my friends for all your well birthday wishes and doas, Mahirah for your birthday card (sorry eh sebab ur Plan A spoil, haha.)…. take care and may God bless you. =)
