Pre-Hari Raya

Oh hey there. Today is Saturday if you look at the time but it's actually at 12 o'clock in the morning. Hours ago, we watched TV and waited for some kind of announcement to officially said when is Hari Raya. We waited - we had waited before but that was using the radio. My mum was sure it was on Saturday. She was so positive that she told almost everyone that it is Saturday when Hari Raya will start. And that was days ago. You should see her face when the TV guy told us it's actually Sunday - not Saturday. Me, my dad and my sister was grinning at her. But honestly, I gotta salute that woman. She handled embarassment with such ease! If I were her, I would be smiling sheepishly and mumbling some sort of a pathetic excuse or something.

I went to Giant today. It has been ages since I've been there (because my dad prefered to go to Carrefour) and it's still look the same. I think even I have move out of Subang Jaya, Giant would still look the same. And that is comforting. My mum was telling me all the names of the veggies and fishes. Veggies I can do but the fishes?! How can you know which is which?! I mean, sure, there is the signboard on top telling you the name but if you don't look at it and just look at the fish, they look bloody the same. I'll be damned if I have to remember the fish scales patterns on their bodies. My mum looked sort of put-out when I didn't want to squeeze a fish. I want to know my fishes as much as the next guy but geez, I don't want my fingers to smell like fish's blood, do I? But it's pointless - in the end, my fingers smelled like fish's blood anyway.

And when I said about being my mum's helper, it wasn't really a big deal. I was only dutied to cut up the long beans and that is it! And I wasn't even given the job wholly, too. My mum helped me since I don't really know how to cut it slantwise. Pah. And after that, we relaxed. Oh and did I mentioned that I bought Reanimation? I did but it wasn't as good as the other CDs unfortunately since I was expecting to be blown away or something. The titles of the songs are kinda... stupid. hahahahahha!! Me dissing LP?! Good Lord! Nah, it's just that I don't like it when people type like this : i DiS LiKe Etng a 5ish. I dislike eating a fish. I mean is it so hard to make the spelling right?! I guess LP were just trying to make it look different so that their fans won't make a mistake by thinking it's the same song from Hybrid Theory. But the other people who do that is just plain retarded. Write properly!

I'm feeling sort of missing the bulan Ramadhan of this year (even though it has to be the most uneventful Ramadhan I ever had). Sometimes, I hate this feeling. Being nostalgic. Maybe because it just occured to me that it's probably the last time I'd be praying at the masjid near my house. And there was only a few people praying there now. I saw gg and Rab. I didn't say anything to gg even though I was just behind her. This place is getting emptier so I guess thats what making me sort of sad. That and I burned a CD. And being typical me, all of them are sort of depressing. Heh. I'm pretty proud of it since I always wanted to burn a CD but being the perfectionist, I made a list again and again so that I chosen the right song. And coincidentally, all of them are kinda sad.

Have you ever heard of Blink182's song 'Adam's Song'? I love it and I think it inspired me to write the Minnie story. It's about death and it's my favourite from all of Blink182's songs. This time, the vocalist is the other guy not the dude who has the exaggerated slang. His slang is so annoying.

Well I got to go. To everybody left who gets to read this before the fateful Sunday - SELAMAT HARI RAYA. And to all my friends - have fun you guys. AND DON'T MISS ME TOO MUCH!!! hahahahahah!!
