Raya for me?!

These past few days have been very busy for me lately with all the preparations for Raya and for Raya itself. I'm still amazed why I haven't fallen asleep yet when it's already 1.17am in the morning. I just got back a couple of hours ago after visiting with/my relatives for two whole days. My family started the first day by going to my paternal granddad's house in Sembawang. We were there like for a few hours but not a lot of people came. I guess they went to their other side of their family first. So around 4 or 5-ish, we started off to our maternal grandma's place. That's where the real fun begins. Why, you may ask? That's because on my father's side, almost everyone of my cousins are so much more older than us and most of them a freakishly tall. If i were to estimate their average, it would be around 1.8m tall. I'm so envious that I didn't get much of my dad's side of the genes. So anyways, there was kind of a large age gap between us so we didn't really click with each other. However, on my mum's side, my cousins are all around my age but all of them are either in primary or secondary schools so that sorta made me like the oldest there. But since I am young at heart, ehem, I can still mix around with them and not feel my age at all. Ha ha. So what we did was to actually bought a whole packet of lighters and made them explode. Ha ha. It was awesome good fun. I swear. Then I remembered one incident where I had actually thrown a lighted candle stick into one of the resident's window. We all ran cause we were afraid of what would happen next. Haha. So we actually did quite a few stupid stuffs but in the end, it was all fun and games to us.

The second day started out with me waking up early just to clean up the house. AGAIN. My maternal cousins were all going to congregate at my house before setting off to all our cousins' and relatives' house. So I had to make sure that both levels were spic and span before they arrived. When they did arrived, we stayed around a little bit to make sure that everyone that was supposed to come had already arrived before setting off for our next destination. So basically, that was the plan for today. Go to someone's house, stay there for like 30minutes to one hour before setting off for the next house. By the 7th house, everyone was tired and sleepy cause at every house, the owners had cooked and made sure that we had eaten our fill before going off again. So now, I am actually extremely bloated and feeling very sleepy. Oh what joy!

Oh yeah, this year, it seemed as though i'm getting less and less duit raya. Haha. But no matter. Hari Raya is not about money, it's about forgiven. However, there is a part of me that's complaining a bit. Haha. Since I did take some pictures, I would either edit this post or upload it by the next post. So till now, CIAO!!
