Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2009 Pt. 2

Dear Diary,

I am back to KL. I just arrived here this evening.

I feel sooooo malas to go to work tomorrow, will be going to Taipei in Taiwan to be precise. And it will be my first time to the city.

I am actually still in Raya mood. All my family members are still at kampung, I am sure they are all gelak'ing, borak'ing and makan'ing at this time, while I am here dead bored with no one else at home. Nasib baik ade internet.

My Hari Raya was so mediocre. Everythingwas sooooo kureng lah. Ma fell ill, with less people yang balik kampung (maybe due to H1N1), and the luxury of returning to KL with family was taken away when I had to take a coach to KL. Mind you it was not a direct kampung-KL journey. Dengan stomachache lagi, etc etc.

And upon arrival into KL, I was soo surprised to see soooooo many Indons in KL!

I felt like I was not in my own country anymore! There was a slight insecure feeling to walk around town this evening, when so many nasty, smelly and fugly Indons staring at me. Eugh......How I wished yang stare to Indon² sinetron, or fashionistas/socialites yang selalu masuk Tatler. haha

And KL amatlah kotor ye....

And yet, people in Indon still ade intention nak perang dengan Malaysia? Aiyo.....tak sedar ke berjuta² Indon yang carik rezeki kat sini..... Ptui!

Come to think of it, very menyampah dengan propaganda murahan negara seberang ni!

I better go now. I am so restless.

Will update more.

U know u love me, xoxo

ps: And macam tahun² lepas, Hari Raya disajikan dengan banyak cerita² klise. Anak derhaka, anak terlambat balik, keluarga dah mati pastu dah tanam baru nak sampai and the like. Pelakon sape lagi kalo bukan Rosyam Nor dgn Fauziah Nawi. Tolong lah! Hari Raya orang nak bergembira.....bukan nak meraung!

Very klise, very very klise. Seolah² dah takde idea orang Melayu ni!

Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2009

Greetings everyone,

Yeah! Raya is here, in less than 2 days. I really cannot wait for Raya this Sunday.

Ma have decided to change the initial plan and we all gonna balik kampung for Raya. Millions times better than celebrating it in KL.
Well, we did it once and it was awful.....! Yuck! First day of Raya dah pegi KLCC tengok wayang. Eugh....!

The metropolis will be empty, like many years before. 4 mills of KL'ites semua pon nak balik kampung (kesian sape yang takde kampung).

And the next 3 photos below were taken at Suria KLCC. This year's theme was a bit different. They used to build real kampong house at the concourse floor, but it is presented in a simpler version for this year. See below. I like the new idea. Looks very fresh!

And by all means, I always have a thing for Kampung Boy.

Just one of many signature characters in Kampung Boy the series.

And also this one.

First time bayar fitrah sendiri!

And the biggest surprise is.....

My duit raya is in these hotel envelopes, OK? Haha! Well, my company doesn't provide the envelopes so I thought why not to use the envelope hotel yang banyak dikutip from my work travels. Lantak lahh......as long as dalam tu berisik, dan yang pastinya bukan duit kaler biru.

TO ALL ZACHBA READERS, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN, ATAS BAWAH, LUAR DALAM.......HALALKAN MAKAN MINUM UTANG etc (if any)

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A SPLENDID RAYA THIS YEAR.

I will be going back to my kampung at Negeri Sembilan tomorrow. Tido Kuching malam ni.... ;(

U know u love me, xoxo

2009 Chinese New Year Malls Deco

Dear diary,

I am tapping this from a cyber cafe close to my new habitat, which is not far from KL downtown. It has been a very hectic and tiring day today. First, I was in Borneo, then flew to north of Malaysia for work. Fun job that I have, neh?

Anyway, below are some of the snapshots that I managed to take during the Chinese New Year earlier this year. I myself did not go out much, during the 2-days off, so tak banyaklah gambar yang diambik...;p

The Curve

Where else? Pavilion la...

Suria KLCC

And last but certainly not least, the photo taken at KL's very own Chinatown.

Ta! I am off to bed now ;)

2008 Xmas Deco

Haish......I have been dying to put up this entry loooong time ago. Ha!
Now only I have the chance to do so.

So, presenting some of the deco put up for Xmas 2008. How was your Xmas, anyway? Mine was pathetic. Sad, ne?

Mid Valley Megamall

The Gardens

KL Berjaya Times Square...

....my favorite mall in KL--Suria KLCC

Pavilion

The ever luxurious Star Hill

Ha....there u go!

PS: Looking forward for the Chinese New Year end of this month.

Raya 2008 Pt 8

***read the previous entry here.

Dear Diary,

This is the second last entry of my Raya 2008 report. There's nothing much from from the festival itself, but a visit to the Raja Melewar Museum close to my kampong house on the third day of Raya.

I visited the museum with my 2 nephews. No entrance fees, fyi, so, you could bring as many as you like without burning a hole in the pocket ;)

The replica of Batu Bertikam. See the photo below for the description.

And last but not least, Raya this year fell on no-fruit-season. There were no whatsoever but rambutans, durians jambu air, which is actually not a seasonal fruit, neh?

The jambu airs. ;)

Daun sirih.

So, that is all for my report from kampong. The pic above was taken when I was on my way back to KL from kampong. Janice Lee was not elected as MB in my area during the last election...but I think this is nice, to show that she IS there for the rakyats.

U know u love me, xoxo
