SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada ahli-ahli keluarga yang tersayang, saudara-mara dan kawan-kawan dimana saja beradanya walau tetap sentiasa dirindui. Harap ampun dan maaf di atas segala kesalahan saya zahir & batin.

To all muslim friends reading but don't understand what I just wrote- Eid Mubarak Minal Aidzin wal Faidzin (I hope I wrote that correctly). So it appears that today is Hari Raya for those in Brunei Darussalam! It was already here yesterday- now I can resume my normal eating/sleeping schedule with ease and hope to attain the best of health before the examination comes.

Wishing everyone a happy happy celebration today- I hope those at home *ehek-adikberadiktersayang-ehek* will be cooperating well i.e without much hassle, with each other. I know I promised to call today, I just dropped a SHORT phone call and (it was funny really, it was Aira again who picked up) can't again tonight since I'd unwittingly forgotten that I'd already made plans, but I will definitely at least TRY to again this weekend but I can't promise anything because my schedule is ...aha-ahahaha -_-; unwittingly almost fully booked.

Anyway, yesterday was a national holiday (such a nice coincidence) and got to rest a bit before my host family called me up and we went to this amusement park where they were showcasing these wax figures dressed in chrysanthemums (yes, you read right, if you can't believe it, please do re-read the sentence again at your leisure) and apparently they'd been doing this for about 94 years and this is the last year that they'll be doing it since there are no apprentices and the people who have thus far been doing it are... unable to do it anymore for another year. Anyway, it was so fortunate for me that they took me there, a real once-in-a-lifetime experience. The exhibition was really fantastic thought it ws unfortunate that I didn't take that many pictures, only by phone so... one day I'll try posting one up through there.

Today I was also still very lucky since there's a big welcome party for the new people and people from my course could join too so I decided to dress up and go there ^_^ big surprise to everyone. I looooved their reactions. Why?Because of this:
