i cannot believe how fast time flies by! it simply astounds me. this year's ramadhan simply whizzed by me and the husband. tomoro is eid. how crazy is that?
after living at windy heights with just me, the husband and the maid for two weeks, we finally now have tonnes of company staying over for the raya festivities. ami zaid and his colony, umar unta padang pasir and shafiq&munir bunked with us as well as opera is packed.
so far preparations for eid is coming on quite ok. i feel quite gulity that i can just help out abit here and there at my parents house as i am sleeping over at windy heights and the husband loves to spend time with his male cousins at opera.
last night after buka, i got abit upset cuz i was quite bored and kept thinking about wanting to go back to chai chee to help my mom out but i could not because of wife-ly obligations. the husband wants to chill at opera.
and over at opera, its either:
(1)hanging out with the aunties (talking abt things that they keep on repeating over and over again. i heard the story like 10 times!),
(2)chilling with the male cousins (husband's maternal side has only 2 girl cousins. the rest are all boys. 1 girl cousin is away in france. another is only 3 years old. 1 female-cousin in law is back in kl to celebrate eid with her family. and another female-cousin is law is very pregnant and doesnt talk much.
(3)hang out and play with the 3 children. (two cousins and 1 niece)
so if u guys really know me, u all would have known that i chose the third option.
i suddenly feel very nostalgia-y and started missing the husband's paternal cousins who are very much closer to my age and very estrogen-driven. oh dina.. oh wiyah.. oh zahrah.. oh noora.. oh aisha.. oh cali.. oh zain.. (sniggers) kembalilah kepada cheng hong.
upset betul.
we still havent discuss the itenary for first day raya. he normally makes his rounds on the first day itself while i stay at home and meet and greet hundreds of relatives who would come to see my grandmother. i wouldnt wanna abandon my family on the first day. and i am sure he wants to hang out even more with his male cousins.
dilemma betul.
but i am looking forward to spending the first day, especially in the morning of eid with the husband. since he only wears white jubah every year, i made the effort to get a white baju kurung tailored. i cannot wait to send him off at the gates for his eid prayers and await for his return. very the kampung wife sekali.
tonight, on the eve of raya, the husband was agree to go back to my house and help my parents with the cooking and cleaning. (two days ago, the husband helped me cleaned the mirrors and wiped the display cabinets!)
ok, i have rambled far too much. alrights, selamat hari raya aidilfitri to everyone. maaf zahir dan batin. semoga berbahagia disamping keluarga tercinta in hari yang mulia. :)

Hi vu,
This is arni, and I'm a journalist with the New Straits Times in KL. I stumbled upon your blog a few months ago and hv been reading it ever since. And yes, I like it! Maybe because I hv cousins in Singapore, so I could relate to some of the things you wrote in your blog. I think you write very well! :)
Anyway, I need your help. I know M.Nasir, Misha Omar and AhliFiqir are supposed to perform in Singapore on Nov 27. I need to get in touch with AF to ask them about their preparations for the show.
Is there any way that I could contact them? Would really appreciate your help here. If you can help me, can you email their contact details at: arni@nst.com.my
Thanks so much!! And Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin to you! :)
-arni.

Dear arni, I have emailed u the number of ahli fiqir's manager. Ahli fiqir is back in kl now. Dont worry, the manager will arrange something with you with regards to the interview.
Thanks for coming here to read :-) glad to help u out somehow.
