Thirty-Five
So, Happy Belated Hari Raya Aidiladha!
Yesterday was pretty nice. Not particularly fun, but not boring either. Woke up a little late, I think, and quickly started to get dressed. Unfortunately, because I did not prepare my clothes the night before like the obedient child I should have been (my mum was all, "kan mama dah cakap!!"), I couldn't find my Hari Raya clothes. Which meant that I had to wear last year's. Which meant that I was totally mismatched from all my boria boria skolah Victoria siblings. Haha.
Then it was prayer time. We waited for about 30 to 45 minutes for other people to come in before the prayers could start, during which I - sneakily, I suppose - read my LOTR book. While selawat-ing, of course. Does sitting two rows behind your mother and placing your handbag at such an angle so that said mother could not see the book you are reading on the floor count as sneaking? Yeah. I didn't think so.
Then we went to my grandparents' house. The whole place smelled of, God bless them, this beautiful aroma of nasi beriyani. It was to die for. Unfortunately, it meant gaining some more pounds, but really, how can you
not eat? It's a special occasion!
Finally we went to the masjid to see the kambings. Well, more like Kak Han did - the rest of us just sat in the car. Usually I go out to see them too, but I've already seen sheep this year before yesterday, and once you've seen one you've seen them all, you know? Me and Nina played Goosebumps instead - you know, the one where you have to make decisions and decide your own fate? Yeah that one. Best. I was never good at that game. I always end up dying. Always.
So, to curb that incident from ever happening again, Nina and I made a flowchart! It shows the various steps you can take, and which leads to winning and which leads to loser-dom. Hahaha. Crazy.
