happyness is a four letter word...

i have been pretty quiet, havent i?
was not my intention to wait until the end of october to post something, but i am clearly suffering from a writer's block, or a blogger's block, and the risk of not have anything posted at all for this month, i'll attempt to write something :)
lets see...
so raya was fun, right? i was looking forward to it, having been away from the family for the two previous rayas, it was great meeting the aunts and uncles and cousins and wat nots but i think the highlight of the whole raya was when i met Nik Aziz (yes, THE Nik Aziz) who performed the akad nikah for my cousin's wedding, and meeting the Tok Guru (as he is affectionately known) is a highly spiritual experience, there's something about him that just radiates and he glows, and he just makes everything feel so..tenang..i suppose that's what you call "cahaya keimanan" kan? i didnt expect him to be funny but he is, in a smart cool and effortless kind of way :)
the post raya stuff, the open houses and wat nots was okay too. but i was just deeply dissapointed with two things, the first, the fact that some people do not have the courtesy to reply to your invitations, like its an acceptable and expected thing now? what is so difficult to quickly text back and say, "yes, i would love to come, thank you" or "sorry cant make it, thank you"...simple aite? but people just dont anymore and so u have to call and sms repeatedly, "are u coming?", "can u come?" etc etc etc.. really folks, so not good manners okey, hilang semangat raya tu tau tsk tsk. and the second thing is, the clothes! yikes! wat ever happen to the basic baju kurung rule? and men, you do not wear three quater cargo pants and a shirt to an open house, even if it is a branded pants and shirt!! not done! and ladies, jeans and a baby T shirt? hello?? really, such an insult to the host for you to come to a Raya Open House like that. and while im in the mood, i hated those konon-wanna-be-cool girls who wear jeans with a kebaya top to a wedding..jeans are always a no-no la folks at weddings, kan lagi cantik and ayu and manis if you just wear the full kebaya or kurung? why do you have to drag out your hip hugging jeans and and proudly showing off your midrift under the short kebaya top and shows of your underwear or (god forbid) butt cracks cos the jeans are too low? confuse ni kat wedding ke kat night club? im sure u guys agree with me on this kan kan :) i remember masa kat uk everyone will wear their baju raya, even the guys berbaju melayu bersampin bagai for all the open houses, baru la meriah! entahlah, and you wonder why org duk sebok ckp raya dah meriah mcm dulu, sebab nye people are just plain LAZY!
oh, ive started work at the new place, yeay :)
work wise, so far im still pretty bored, the first three weeks was the worse as i do not have access to internet or their respective wide web and as such i was not able to do anything at all, and no work given yet..i tewll u, for a an international world wide organization, they are not very organized huhu but hey, early days yet :p
oops, gotta go, post yg nie dulu ek nanti samung, daa :)
(wah2 dari "dont know wat to write bla bla" last banyak jugak saya membebel kat sini yer hehe)
