td.com mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! That would be equilavent to what they often say in Pommy land: “Eid Mubarak”.

Aah, Raya. It’s been 2 years since I’ve celebrated it at home. Guess I’m not as lucky as some Australians are (read: Vedder) who made it back in the nick of time to get the taste of that one day. Rendang, ketupat and lemang… slobber.

Celebrating Eid here wasn’t that bad. It was kinda unique really. Got up real early for a change for sembahyang raya and wore baju melayu & sampin to class. Yeap, for real and it was freezing cold too. There were a couple of other guys who wore baju melayu too so didn’t stand out too much. I can at least console myself by saying that at least my baju wasn’t a shade of flourescent pink, blue or yellow – it was green; read: best house in the world – Naquiyuddin! Woot! Restecp!

Amazingly I made it to all my three classes that day looking like someone who just came out of some fancy dress party. It’s autumn and it’s fashionably dull, brown and grey. I didn’t care, it’s not everyday you get to dress up like that.

Where the food department was concerned, a postgrad’s house quenched my so called “hunger” for decent food. Sedap giler siot. Lontong and rendang and kuah kacang… you name it, the house had it, and I ate it. Though my housemate Fahmi cooked rendang the day before, I didn’t get to eat most of it as the whole 20 pieces of chicken kene bedal before I got to them! Dinner was at Safia and Serina’s house later that night. That too was quite a treat for me tastebuds. Aah, glorious food! (And damn I miss KTJ food too).

Selamat Hari Raya wishes to everybody and Maaf Zahir Batin from me for all the lame jokes I’ve told, my random acts of flatulence and for basically being myself. Cheers!
