I didn't know there is so much Malay movie played during raya, including the raya sitcoms by the Academy Fantasia former students. Last night i watch " I'm not single" the movie my Mum was pestering me to buy the CD, Cd mana mau dapat its a new movie . So last night she waited anxiously and after watching the movie she said " No wonderlah keluar tv sebab tak syok" hehe.
So if u ask me how i spend my raya here... hehe I spend them in front of my TV. Well at least it gives me time to relax, eat and relax, eat some more and relax. Ahhhh boringnye. At least in Bintulu for sure i would go visiting some friends.
Anyway there is pro's and cons right.
Oh, i just read Zafri's blog my friend in the states.. then i remember how my sister sound when she was in UK last year.. ahhhhhh... its all the same. I guess comes raya or christmas the feelings of wanting to be with ur love ones lingers. I remember a song by Mariah Carey " Miss u most on Christmas day", its translate how normal days comes and goes but when it comes to christmas U'll be missing those u've lost and ur love ones. I guess thats what Zafri, Shahrul,my sis and those who are away from home. I clearly remembered my first Christmas after i graduated in 2002 i guess. I didn't come home for Christmas because of financial constraint and some conflict back home. I didn't come home for Christmas maybe once or twice during my college time but that was different coz u know u had to coz ur not earning but when ur working and still cannot make it for Christmas God .. it bleeds my heart. I remember standing on the telephone booth calling home on Christmas eve.
Remembering that time, i wish it will never come again. How dissapointed u are with urself, how much u long to kiss ur love ones and wish everyone a happy Merry Christmas. That year i made an Oath to myself, I will always come home for Christmas no matter what, and i never look back ever since.
I guess being away for Raya , Christmas , Deepavali or Even Chinese New Year gives u a prospective of how much Home meant to us, because with our busy life that we forgot people back home.
Anyway peace to my friends overseas. I know how u felt dude.
