18th Oct.

Sorry guys I havent been updating much of late! I've been quite busy due to the exams and yes the raya is mood is still in ze air although it's starting to subside already. I'm kind of short of time here...soo ill make it short and simple aite!

I went out raya-ing on saturday with Izzati and some other friends. Firstly we went to AJ's open house, then to my house and then zoomed off to Zati's house. After the maghrib prayers I went off with Zati and her sisters to Cigu Noraini's open house. I met lots of my ex-teachers and some ex-schoolmates and it was nice catching up with them once again. Such is the essence of Aidilfitri ey? haha. It was quite a long day (I had golf in the morning) and by the end of the day I was so tired that I snoozed off for awhile while listening to Zati and the others karaoke-ing! Yeah it might not seem a lot but I had tonss of fun! It was awesome seeing Zati again =) For a more detailed account of what happened, click here.

Meanwhile somewhere in Kg. Tungku..

My family has this sort of weekly gathering thingy every Saturday night at my grandmother's house where we have mass prayers and dinner together. Obviously I had to skip last week's gathering (and the previous few weeks lol) and my dad told me the next morning that they had a blast viewing some old ancient 'stone-age' pictures of my family. And with a cheeky grin he also told me that...they played loads of fireworks! Of all the nights, it just had to be that night haha. But hey I had a blast myself so I've no regrets ;)

P/S: Pictures were taken from my family's blog. Credits to my cousin Hazim for keeping the blog well and alive! Keep up the good work eh. Nantitah aku tolong kau ah lapas my exams habis aite man =D

Until then guys!

Luqman's Open House

Arun and I went off to Luqman's open house for a while a few days ago. There wasn't a lot of people, well the guys, KA and the gang were there. After all the girls left and everyone was done eating, a familiar topic came up in our conversation. It was about the 'shoulder-ed' topic that i mentioned in my previous post haha. Who said guys can't bitch? To prove that, I recorded a short portion of our 'bitching' session. 


Note: Ignore my voice and I apologise for any vulgarities in the video, I was sort of high and I was the closest to the camera so you could hear me laughing like a maniac hahaha.

P/S: Cheer up Zree, we're all here for ya. And so much for your negative thoughts huh? Told ya it'd be better than u think. I'll ttyl bro.

October Blues

I've been feeling a lil bit down...but anyway,


I feel like a kindy kid dreading his first day of school, or should I say kindergarten haha. I'm not ready for school, physically, mentally, emotionally, rohani-ly, jasmani-ly gila baie =(

Raya this year hasn't been any special, well not as much as before at least. Maybe its because Raya keeps overlapping the exam season these last few years, compared to let's say a decade ago where it coincided with the December holidays. The highlight over the last few days has got to be my cousin Aaron and his wife Karen coming back for the first time in many years. I thought the last few days were very short, very very short. It felt like Raya has gone even before the feeling could sink in. Do you feel the same way too? haha I bet you do too. I feel for Nadzri over there in Taiwan, just hang in there bro.

Bah see ya in school tomorrow fellow MD-ians.

2nd day of Raya

First day of Raya, as usual was spent with family and close relatives. Well the day started off slowly until my cousin Hazim had an open house and yeah, played fireworks and stuff. The fireworks continued until we had another gathering in my grandmother's house that same night. Sorry for the lack of pictures though. Maybe arah Hazim's blog or my family (TheApongs) blog ada some pictures tu.

2nd day of Raya: So after golf in the morning, I went out with Arun in the afternoon. He came just after the friday prayers, sporting a new haircut. After grabbing a few snacks and drinks at my house (nadadeh beraya wah), off we went to...

Cigu Husaini's house! One helluva teacher. Funny as crap haha, not to mention...kuning lol. But really he's a really great teacher. Apparently he's still a die-hard Liverpool fan and since Arun's a Liverpool fan too, I got bullied. But Cigu Husaini was nice enough to cook up some TomYam especially for me and Arun so we were kinda obliged to eat lah. Caught up on a lot of stuffs, twas really nice.

Cikgu Husaini

Let me introduce to you one of my most bangang yet naturally funny friend, Qamaruzzzzzzzaman. Qamarul for short. Marul for shorter. But we usually call him Rul. Even a glimpse of his face makes you giggle. It's hard to explain, but you know almost everything he does is funny in a way. We went to his house to pick him up, tarus beraya. And finally, he shaved lol.

Then we decided to pay Cikgu Rokiah, our Malay Teacher during our Form4 and 5 years, a visit. We actually hesitated to come out of the car when we arrived in her compound since we saw lots of guests. But hey we found out that the visitors were actually our juniors back in PDS haha. So it made everything that much more fun. It was great to see them again!

Oh meet Cuddles. He's this super fluffy cat that acts like a king inside Cikgu Rokiah's house. He's well-kept and just lies on top of the sofa motionless which makes him look like a pillow when seen from the back! Pemalas eh, reminds me of my myself haha. I remember him from last year's Raya, but I thought his name wasn't Cuddles back then. Oh well..We got along quite well last year masa Raya but it tried to scratch me tadi. That's it mate I no friend you anymore.

Then off we went to Lina's open house which was quite close to where Cikgu Rokiah lives so yeah. Thanks Lina for being such a nice and sporty host (I'm serious!). But you didn't have to tell your mom that I was the guy that she *cough* haha..I can just say your mom's very nice too =p

We met Wafiuddin, Jesus and KI there too.

Leenuh, Arun and Marul

For the last stop we went to Hafiz 'Mesra's' house. Well it was a last minute plan pulang. Qamarul gave him a call and it took him 3 minutes just to take in the Simpang number lol. After getting lost in god-knows-where, Arun pulled over, gave Hafiz a call and put it on the loudspeaker.

Arun: 'hey dude its Arun. Mana your house kan? We're in the petrol station in front of Huaho Sengkurong now'

Hafiz: 'Ahh..there? bah you go straight lah'

Arun: 'Straight? Straight where? Straight is Huaho Sengkurong'


It went on for quite a long time lah, until we finally made sense of his directions haha. For some reason, Hafiz kept saying 'straight straight straight' , it was like he was trying to prove his sexual orientation or something haha. We eventually reached his house, thank god. By the time we got there Arun was dying to take a piss.

Arun: 'Fiz mana toilet?'

Hafiz: 'Straight *but he was pointing to the left*'

After sending Qamarul back home and on the way to my house, Arun and I decided to take a slight detour to take a first-hand look at the new form sixth centre in Kg. Katok that everyone's been talking about of late. Here are some (lousy) pictures that I took.

It looked bigger than I thought!

Raya =/

Raya has always been something very fun and exciting for me hahaha not this year though. this was the worst raya day i had ever experienced. though nothing actually went wrong or anithin but it was jst the fact that i was alone for the first time celebrating raya on my own daym. i dun think celebrating would actually be the right word to use haha i think all of us are going to face it one day or another except for some of u who might be lucky not to haha i receive some snacks from brunei today like serunding, kuihs. tarts, popiya hahaha i teared while opening them... i miss my family alot. my mom my dad, my sisters, my grands, my uncles, my aunts, my cuzns all of them.. i miss you all alot too wish i cud spend raya with u guys. to make it worst my grandads kinda sick but they say hes jst demam hopefully he'll be alright hopefully hahaha i noe u guys alum raya lagi but yea Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin and may ur raya be better than mine =)

Ramadhan ---> Syawal

I'll keep this short and simple. The first of Syawal is officially on Thursday for Brunei, so



Selamat Hari Raya =) 

 
Maaf Zahir & Batin

Oh I thought my cousins would be nice and let their hands off their fireworks and let this be the last peaceful night, but noooo gatal jua tangan dorang main badil. So that tempted me to pop a few too like I've been doing for the last couple of days, haha. Dad's been bringing me out repeatedly to shop for fireworks and yeah nothing beats the feeling of a dad&son firework shopping spree. Thanks Dad =D


P/S: Kalau ada open house atu, bagitau ah?! haha. And oh, Happy 19th Birthday Milcah! :) I hope you have a blast there. I'll see you when you get back here!
