was trying not to be 'into' raya mode. was wanting to be not emotionally involved. had breakfast like always. then as i shifted my view through the glass wall of the dining hall, i could hear my family laughters, raya songs in the background. went to my room, studied. lunch time, i saw my Malaysian friends (not the ones from last 2 semesters) they were all dressed up. they told me their plans for that day, but i was kind of sad abit when they didn't even 'thought' of inviting me to the party. yes, i might reject the invitation, but c'mon have the courtesy to ask. anyways, i went back to my room, studied some more.
by three o'clock. my heart just shrinked. i msned Raihana, she didn't reply. i asked Kme whether they are having open house, she said no. i phoned ka Fadhilah, ka Yan, Ka Intan, no reply. i cried. first day of raya, i haven't feel 'you' yet.
alhamdulillah at 5pm, Senida, Europe muslim girl from previous Soccer tournament msged me. she invited me to her place and sleepover. i was so happy, so glad to receive her msg. we msged to each other once a while to catch up with stuff and that day, she invited me over.
-(raya) gifts from Senida-
wait the sec~ do i have to give gifts in return???.. am i missing something here??.. haha i asked her what was the occasion. she said, Eid is like christmas. hahah.. fiuh.. then i think back, owh yea, we give 'ampau' to kids.. so that is just how it works in Europe~ hehehe.. sounds good to me~~~
we played board games, Wii... so much fun at their place. feel like home. Senida lives with her parents and a little brother. her father is a coach and his brother is crazy about sports. so we get along PRETTY well i should say. we played till 11pm, then we called it a night
2nd day of Eid
Senida and her mom brought me out to shop.. heheh how can i ever say no to shopping, SERIOUSLY. i bought a lot of stuff there, slippers, a dress, scarfs, chocolates.. hehehe..
as we were browsing
-SLAP BUG!!!-
was 'this' close to approach them and give them a SMACK. hhahaha.. well, you know~ it is natural when you see some bugs, you chased (or smack) them away. hehehe.. actually, my first thought when i saw the bettle bug, it reminds me of my peeps back home; whenever we see bettle volkwagen, we HAVE to hit anyone who was present at that very second. so was tempted to hit Senida and her mother.. haha.. but naahh.. hehehe.. i just know them and they are very nice to me. after all day of shopping, Senida dropped me off to St Catherine's
