Happy belated raya all.
Just a little recap on my raya. Raya tahun ni mcm biasa je. I mean, spt tahun2 lepas jugak la. I started a new posting one week before raya (medical posting) and thank god the lecturer was kind enough to let us go on Thursdays for raya. I can’t imagine what’ll happen if we were to travel home on Friday evening. Two days before balik kampung most of us were struggling to complete our clinical discussion report. To be submitted on Wednesday before 4pm online, for discussion on Thursday morning before everyone pack up and leave for raya break.
Since my computer is still not in a good shape, I completed mine using the campus’s computer and submitted it on Wednesday 3.30pm. (can’t help it since one is a last-minuter, ha!) Failure to do so will jeopardize the end posting assessment marks. Anyway, after submission, I was all over the moon, tinggal pikir nak balik raya je. I didn’t even keep a copy of my report …sbb the computer was unable to detect my thumbdrive, and being too laden with raya thoughts I seriously don’t think that as necessary. I only saved it in the student’s personal H drive, which is only accessible from the computer lab itself.
It was not until later that night that I suddenly thought of checking my mails for any reply from the lecturer. Just in case la kan. And there it was.. at 1am in the morning, in my mailbox a mail that reads:
Isleasy, I did not receive the attachment along with your email.
*dang!* My soul died. And I didn’t have a copy of the report with me to resend. I went to class with weak legs and flail heart. First, sbb hati dah memang ada kat Taiping, jasad je masih trapped kat Batu Pahat. Kedua, sebab everyone else’s report has been submitted while mine was.. well.. u know what happened. However., I wasn’t scolded or anything for being careless. To tell the truth, the lecturer seemed indifferent when I saw him that morning. However, not getting any scolding is never equivalent to good remarks so I can only pray that no marks were deducted from that incident.
Anyway, class ends at 12. We left the house at 12.50pm. I thought we were going to be stucked in the highway traffic for good, much to my surprise, the highway was relatively empty all the way sampai Taiping. Dropped Ann at her house in Kampar, and Hanis at Kamunting’s plaza tol. It only took me 7 hours ++ to reach home, yeay!
On Friday, we left for raya in my grandma’s place – Penang. Again, bukak puase dlm kereta sbb umi got off from work quite late.
Raya day- nothing much. Biasala.. when one stay at home on raya day and do nothing, one tend to revert back to humanoids primitive activities, which is eating. So that was what mainly happened on the first 3 days of raya. Makan smp bloated, minum sampai kain ketat, ulang alik ke tandas for god knows how many times and passing massive amount of gas at the end of the day. Akan makan bila lapar, makan bila tak ada apa nak dibuat, makan bila tetamu datang, makan bila pegi rumah org, makan lagi bila tgk org lain makan sebab nampak sedap..etc2..all the usual stuff… and hah, I was still able to collect some trifty amount of duit raya ok! Talk about murah rezeki, hehee..
But I have to add-being an adult (malu nak ngaku adult), the best thing about raya ( apart from makan and still getting duit raya) is meeting the relatives. Nothing in the world beats that.
Third day of raya - back in Taiping. I learned that most friends were already packing their bags leaving home. Masing2 dah bekerja, so cuti pun tak lama. Aku jelah yg cuti byk tahun ni, and the worst part is, stuck at home with nowhere to go. Huaaa..so basicly my main agenda in the next few days would still be; makan and lepak.
Yep. So..
Happy raya all. May u have a good one. Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
p/s: lost my camera's memory card so no raya pics this year. *sad*
