Our raya preparations...

'Sepasang Kurung Biru' is serenading on my school's pc while doing my school work...dah mood raya beb! Tapi nak kata seronok sakan pun tak sangatlah sebab tahun ni banyak yang belum buat & nak disiapkan. Bab rumah jangan kata lagi, satu bahagian pun belom start. Last week cuma dpt bersihkan the service balkoni je. Ingatkan last weekend nak bersihkan 1 more area, at last bila dah masuk Johor je, terus lepak next day. After that kene improvise my pd report, so tak pegang apa-apa pun kat rumah.

Yup, last Sat went JB with in-laws' family. Hikam tak ikut sebab dia ada exam. We went in 2 cars. Our destination? Where else if not for Angsana Plaza. Everything under 1 roof. I was quite fickle to buy the potted plant or not, so at last bila Ibu Shidah beli bunga, ubah fikiran pulak beli bunga. I spent abt RM35 for the all the flowers & the vase. Kalau yg dah siap, RM55. Ok jugaklah kan? Kalau banding S$$ teruk jugak kene.

We went around looking for hubby & Fikri's baju kurung. At last dapat jugak warna gold & exatly matches my songket. Yahoo! That part settled. Cuma si kecik refuse to try on the kain samping, agaknya dia tengok kain tu macam skirt tak? Anyway, bila nak belikan dia songkok pun menyeksa, nak kene tunjukkan abang-abang 'Alif Ba Ta' dalam cd tu pakai, baru dia nak pakai. After trying, boleh nyanyi2 lagi depan kedai tu! Nak tunjuk keneslah!

I spent almost whatever that was in the wallet with only RM4 at the end of the day. But the most satisfied for me was I managed to get Bibik Tini 1 baju kurung & a selendang for her. Memang I dah lama niat dalam hati nak give her something for hari raya. Kalau kasi duit tak nampak sangat, at least kalau dia pakai baju tu, dia ingat I & I pun dapat pahala juga! I think that's the least I can help.

Anyway, the whole shopping trip was such a tiring one. Apa taknya kita berjalan from almost 1+pm till at night. Kita buka pun kat surau & then move around to look for a place to have proper dinner. Guess what time we ate? I looked at the watch & it was almost 8.30pm! Yup, an additional 1.5 hours puasa! dah kebulur betul!

On the way home, I dah tak boleh tahan. Slept throughout the journey with Fikri while hubby drove us home. [Thanks Darling!] Dah takley tahan nak accompany dia. Next day, lepak sampai tak terbangun. Apa taknya, sampai rumah 1.30am, tidur pukul 2 pagi. Then at 4am,Fikri mintak susu. Baru nak tidur lagi, jam dah bunyi untuk sahur. After that terus lepak sampai pukul 9+!

Semalam I thought we could go shop a bit kat Geylang but at the end, we had to make our trip short. Seemed like we can't even window shop with Fikri. He was ok at first but later start his tantrums & asking for attention. Even when it was time to break fast kat Darul Arqam!

This year I guess it'll be just a simple celebration for us. 2 hari lepas raya je, budak2 dah exam & I have to slogged my nights marking their papers. This week is our last week for revision before we break for 4 days for the PSLE marking. Duh....that's the life of being a teacher. Sigh....tulah, dulu kenapa tak kahwin dengan orang kaya, so tak payah susah2 nak kerja macam gini. Jadi ma'am je kat rumah. Kerja rumah pun boleh suruh maid yang buat...jaga anak & suami je..kan senang?
