selamat hari raya ................. rajunatapa

It has been 8 days at home and honestly speaking, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here. No offense to those guys who couldn’t go back because of work or class, I gotta say it’s such a relief to finally set my feet on Malaysian ground especially after 16 hours of traveling including 2 hours transit in Penang (total agony). Well I guess I built my hopes quite at the high side, yup as usual it didn’t go quite as expected. A lot of things, the annoying little things that usually don’t actually get to you if it was any other day but when they kept happening and on top of each other especially on or close to raya boy they totally put my patience and rationale to a test. I don’t think by making those little things (not quite little actually) known would change things so let me just say that my raya this year sucked big time and completely ruined, it would’ve been awesome otherwise but luckily the presence of my family and close relatives helped a lot with this holiday. Yeah I kinda disappointed, oh well I’ll get over it besides there are so many other things to look forward to for the remaining of my days here. Was I selfish? I think I was being kinda slightly selfish and oversensitive over this raya thingy, life’s a biatch then u married one!!!! That’s life alright.
I cherish every single thing here since I came back, went to bazaar ramadhan boy it was like a mini funfair that everyone in town just turn up and have fun, the fact that maghrib act as a dateline, more and more people arrived as the evening progressed and they were all after the same -quite limited at this stage- drinks and foods, really crowded and the place just went mad. It was like a big flea market or a food fest but none of the customer nor the vendor could eat, I enjoyed just being there watching people around and refraining myself from salivating over those delicious foods, most I could only dreamed about when I was in Ireland. Not a moment wasted I bought whatever caught my sight, kept telling myself buy now I have the whole night to eat it, so it will be fine, not quite really, my stomach was full right before the main dish, I guess from long period of starvation before and during ramadhan in Ireland had shrunk my stomach somehow and it losses its distensibility (if there such a word). I think I might have put on a couple of kilos since got here.
The weather ‘s great, a bit too warm though but to be fair I’d rather be here than the gloomy cold weather over in limerick which I have to endure in a couple of days, gosh the thought of it made me depressed already. Very bright as well unlike the constant cloudiness and now that the daytime is shorter than the night really made me think twice to go back. I can wear my sunglasses and enjoy the day. Downside is sweating and I do sweat like a pig here, hence shower very frequently and my newly bought cologne gone half already.
I do miss Ireland especially when I was on the road, damn these Malaysian drivers, I don’t think I could drive here they’re just vicious and reckless too. No wonder they were fatal accidence every single days here, a sad and shameful fact. I miss my house and my beloved couch!!!! Well I guess this is quite boring enough so I better stop before any of these contributors decided to delete it. oh yeah I miss my espresso machine very much and those friends of mine over there or anywhere else that I haven’t seen since I left!!!! Till the next entry, byebye
