Syawal datang lagi

Assalamualaikum wbt
All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger.

A  month of Ramadhan had passed. Riang ria raya for this year was celebrated here in town, my family is not going back to our hometown this year. I hope my grandparents would come up here for a visit. It has been quite a while since the last time meeting them.

Anyway, raya has been great. Hope yours are as awesome too. It is the month of celebration. The first day of raya is always the best. The first day will be the day where everybody wishes everybody Selamat Hari Raya, Salam Aidilfitri etc. It is also the busiest day ever as everyone will be busy meeting their relatives and friends and not forgetting, also visiting the grave to recite Yassin and prayers for those that had left us. Al-Fatihah.

For visits and all, it was tiresome despite being the guest. Visiting from one house to another, greet them asking how they are, eat the variety types of rendang, ketupat, serunding, kuah lodeh, cakes, kuih, desserts and many many more. What more if you are the one receiving the guests, fuhhh. And the businest will degrade from day to day, if it was our family's raya. Degrade until it is the first weekend of syawal, usually the first Saturday. Wajib! Wajib! Wajib! compulsory for at least one open house. As for my family, there were two last Saturday, lunch and dinner. It was great. Both were held by close family. TGIR= Thank God its Raya, if not, I don't think I will be meeting them ever and that is I think among the advantages of hari raya.
 
Those are some about my raya. Well, the pre-raya preparation were as tiresome as well.

Two days before syawal, my mother and I visited the pasar for storage of course. Bought the meat and veggies and fish and other sea creatures. Fasting+Pasar, memang terbaik. It were heavy enough for two persons to carry everything.

A day before syawal where it was the second time going  out for groceries. This time only at some nearby shops for some missing and forgotten items that supposedly be bought yesterday. And also, my sister and I visit Guardian. Because Guardian is just nearby, it is not a problem to just stop by for a while and buy some things right? So, we bought a few things for Raya. A lipbalm with cherry scent, it smells so good, a blusher and a packet of mask. The mask is my sister's. She just loves masks. I was happy because at last, I bought a blusher of my own. A girl sometimes, just wants things without a reason. The lipbalm is because my lips easily dried, so it is best I have one. Plus, it has SPF 17.

My new friends:) The jeans is another story. Wait for the next blog entry!


 Today is already the first Monday after raya holidays, I guess most Malaysians have already started working after one week raya. No worries peeps, we can continue them this weekend as there is Merdeka holiday this weekend :). With that I end my entry.


Salam Syawal 
& 
Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-55!

English for Professional Communication

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Greetings readers! As stated above, in this entry I would like to share about the course that I am taking at present. It is a course from the Academy of Language Studies at Universiti Teknologi Mara(UiTM). It is very rare to find people that know about this course. Dialogue 1 A: Eh, what are you studying now? Me: English for Prof Comm A: ...........??? So, what is that actually? Dialogue 2 A: Anyway, what are you taking now? Me: Language studies A: Oh.. TESL eh. Me: ....................... or very very very rare, Dialogue 3 A: What course did you take? Me: English for Prof Comm A: Ohh..ok. As you see, this course is not as popular as others like law, engineering, medicine, dental, education and others, which everyone knows of. But, it is a fun and interesting course to learn. Believe me. And if you are really good in English, which I am still working on t...

CNY

Assalamualaikum wbt. All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger. Its already a week after Chinese New Year celebration, around a week after the exact day if I'm not mistaken. At this very moment, I am not alone. The non-stop rhythm of the fire crackers accompany me upon writing this entry :) Chinese New Year, yes. It is among the yearly celebration that I enjoy. Even though I am not a Chinese nor have a Chinese family members, but they are my friends and neighbours. I remembered waking up to a very very loud drum and cymbals sounds several years back. It was from a lion dance at a neighbour's house. It was a great feeling. Woke up to the sound, peep through the window, then rush downstairs and towards the celebrating house. I can't remember brushing my teeth, but I do think I did brush them. So anyway, at that moment, it was the first LIVE lion dance that I have seen from near, in my life. It was fun as I actually experienced the moment. I also remembered watching ano...

Three more days...

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger. Woke up this morning to a neck ache and self-made sickness , despite sleeping early, quite early for a person who have a lot of work to do and who should stay up and do more before sleeping, I am not proud of myself. *aduhai. It is the final week of lecture before study break for us here. It seems bearable but, I don't know, unbearable at times. Yesterday, before sleeping, I know I am able to face this, I know I am able to finish everything till the last. But, waking up today, I kind of having a different opinion about things. I woke up thinking of the past years question's presentation that we have to present later today. Thinking am I able to provide sufficient answers and elaboration and example,.................................and whether everything will be just fine as usual. Wondering where to start on Organizational Behavior's task too. Questionnaire first or characteristics. Then, remin...
