♥ EID MUBARAK & PORT DICKSON ♥

SALAM LEBARAN TO ALL MY DEAR READERS!!

How's your Raya Celebration so far? Mesti best kan? Maklumlah.. Semua serba baru. Baju baru, kasut baru, selendang baru, langsir baru, kereta baru and semuanya yang baru2 la. Alhamdulillah.. Kita masih lagi diberi peluang untuk menyambut kehadiran Syawal pada tahun ini. Yang dapat melaksanakan Ramadhan dengan amal ibadah yang sempurna, TAHNIAH!! Kepada yang dapat menikmati malam LAILATUL-QADR, double TAHNIAH and praise to Allah. You are one lucky person. And as for me, I'm not lucky enough yet to experience that truly wonderful night.

EID MUBARAK??

Well, my Eid Mubarak Celebration was not much different from the previous year. Semuanya lebih kurang je. Sehari sebelum hari raya, balik rumah Opah and tolong2 itu, ini. My cousins, aunties and uncles were all there except for my Maklang, Paklang and their children. They went back to Alor Setar, my Paklang's hometown.

me and my cousin, nur wahidah. :)

The next day, that very Hari Raya day, it was the day that I waited for. Selain bersalam-salaman dan bermaaf-maafan, apa lagi yang dinantikan sebagai penuntut university macam Ader ni? Dah tentulah duit raya!! Hehehe.. (jahat betul Ader ni kan?). Jangan tak tahu, kami dah besar ni pun masih dapat lagi duit raya tau! Jangan marah... Siapa kata dah besar tak boleh dapat duit raya? Kalau nak tahu, dalam keluarga Ader, makin kami besar, makin banyak duit raya kami dapat daripada keluarga sampailah kami dah bekerja sendiri nanti. Tu pun maybe masih boleh dapat lagi daripada Opah, Atok and Mama kot. hehehe...

my duit raya. :) dah besar tapi masih dapat duit raya. alhamdulillah...

my three favourite duit raya packet :) and yang paling kanan tu is the one that I like the most. thanks to Opah who gave it to me. :)

Lepas dah salam2 and bagi duit raya semua, mereka bergerak ke Meru (menziarah abang Atok, Atok Rusman, and saudara-mara belah Atok) and they went back to Ijok to visit my great-grandfather which is my grandmother's father, and also saudara-mara belah Opah yang lain. I didn't followed them as I have to take care of Opah that day. Opah tiba2 sakit belakang akibat terlampau banyak sangat buat kerja and kurang rehat. So on that particular Hari Raya Day, Opah tak boleh bergerak, apatah lagi ikut mereka ziarah-menziarah. So I, as the eldest granddaughter and cucu kesayangan Opah (ceh! perasan...), I was assigned to jaga Opah. I'm glad actually to get to help Opah that day. I called it rebonding-time with my beloved Opah. Yelah.. Bila lagi nak berdua2an dengan Opah (ayat tak boleh bla!). Kalau mereka ada, tak best. Nanti Opah tak pay attention kat Ader. :p Apapun, it was my choice to jaga Opah. Tak ada paksaan di situ. :)

Okay... Ni nak cerita kejadian Hari Raya hari tu. Mira, Mama and Atok pergi Meru untuk menziarahi keluarga di sana. And mereka pergi ke rumah adik Atok ni, Nenek Yul. Nak dijadikan cerita, anak Nenek Yul, Asyikin, tu pun study kat UiTM Lendu, sama dengan Ader and Affieq Akmal. Rupa2nya, Asyikin ni classmate Affieq Akmal. Wow! Betapa kecilnya dunia. Kira makcik Ader ni adalah classmate kepada Affieq Akmal. Hahaha... Memang tak percaya and luckily I wasn't there to experience that awkward moment.

PORT DICKSON??

Okay.. Ni cerita pasal Port Dickson pulak. Mama, Mira and I went to Port Dickson on the 4th day of Raya which fell on 2nd September, Friday. We spent some quality time together until Monday. It was quite relaxing as I do need a vacation because of my hectic schedule in university and I also need to clear my mind before I face my coming final examinations.

What we did there?? Well, kat sana basically we just relaxed, leisured, and spent some time with each other. Beside that, kami pergi karaoke, main scrabble, me composing songs, snapped some pictures (a lot!), swimming, masak and banyak lagi lah. Tapi semua activity yang tak membebankan. And most importantly, I managed to think clearly about a personal decision that I have to make. And yes, I have decided on what I have to and I already did it!

ANYTHING ELSE??

Rasanya for this particular entry, Ader stop kat sini saja lah. Nope. I have nothing else to say except for SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN kepada semua yang mengenali diri ini. Rasanya masih belum terlambat lagi untuk mengucapkan ayat itu kan?

p/s: the answer is yes... and I hope that my decision this time won't disappoint me again.
