Hari Raya. In Pictures. And Rather Few Words. Because I'm Lazy.

The month of Syawal is coming to a close, and my Hari Raya outings are grinding to a halt. I didn't get to see everybody I wanted to, especially my cousins Athia and Dhania (who are busy with Fencing and exams in Malaysia), but it was quite good, all in all.

Naturally the first few days brought fun times with the family.





Oh that old lady in the middle? That's my grandma, the grand matriarch of my family. I love her so very much, she's the most important thing in the world to me. And Hari Raya would mean nothing without her.





Okay moving on. The second weekend of Eid, I had my must-have Hari Raya outing with my very very beloved friends from SAJC. So as usual we started at Baba's house, and as usual, I woke up late, so I met them at my place instead of Baba's.



And as usual, I can't do my kain samping for all the nuts in the world, so as usual, Aizat and Halim did it for me. My personal samping servants. :D



And as usual, we have our yearly brotherly love photo. Only this year it looks dangerously more like Elton John-David Furnish love. And, I tried to give a model-ish look.



You might realise that there are a lot of 'as usual's but I think that's what makes it wonderful. That we've started this tradition as friends and no matter where we go when we grow up, every Islamic year, we have this established brand of beautiful familiarity to look forward to.

Okay after my house we made the gruelling 3-minute drive to Aizat's house. And the cool thing about Aizat's house is that not only is there kuih, there's also like a whole big-tupperware of the most brilliant chocolates known to Man. Therefore my rather non-glam expressions.







One of the nicest places ever to camwhore in Singapore is inside Aizat's room, because he has this cool-ass big mirror-cum-cupboard thing, so we went to Jamaica with the camera.









And again, I gave another model-esque thingy here. I think I gave one in every house. I'm not sure....



After Aizat's house, it was off to Bukit Batok for Amy's house.



On the day of this outing, it was a few days before Amy's birthday, so we celebrated her birthday at her place, along with her family. This was the very delicious cake that I wanted to just swim in...



The last destination for that day was Halim's. Halim's place always meant good food, and retardedness.

It started out fine. They were playing Pendekar Bujang Lapok (this classic Malay comedy), so we crashed and watched the show. Irwan...was....watching his songkok.




Then for some obscure reason, Aizat threw his body on top of mine (not in an Elton John-David Furnish way; more in a Kurt Angle kind way), and Halim lent his body to flatten me under the weight of two fully-grown men. I was happily enjoying the movie la, when they had to do that.



And for an even more obscure reason, in the aftermath of that prata-izing bout of weird Hari Raya pseudo-wrestling, Aizat decided he wanted to do sit-ups (WTF?).



Haha I must say though, that this is a typical Hari Raya for me. There's also the Hari Raya outing with my SJI friends but because SOME PEOPLE ARE SLOW IN UPLOADING THE DAMN PHOTOS, I can't blog about it. Ketupats, those people.

But when I do get them, it's another story for another entry. So for now, Cheerio!

And Selamat Last Few Days Of Hari Raya!
