My note on Hari Raya this year. Not too exciting. Firstly, I did not take any pictures. On first day of Raya, I ended up wearing my mom's baju kurung because I thought hers was nicer than mine. But the heat made the baju unbearable to wear all day long. Plus, I had to go to some distant relative houses whom I am not close to, nor I know anything about their whereabouts and our family relationship. There wasn't so many cousins or people whom I know that are around my age so I only have to play with my little cousins. The only good thing about the first day of Hari Raya was the delicious good food. On second day of Raya, my family jetted off to Langkawi while I drove back home to KL and spent the rest of the days till the weekend alone in my big house. Reason I didn't go to Langkawi: too complicated to explain. So for 3 days, I spent my days wandering around Mid Valley and JJ pointlessly alone, watching Raya shows and my dramas on TV all day long and for the first time, went to Ikea and The Curve.
I anticipate for the coming years my Hari Raya will be similar to this year. Visiting unfamiliar faces again. Playing with my little cousins again. Until when? I feel that I had much more fun celebrating Raya in the States. Whilst family members were not present, food is pretty much or less still the same. I got to gather with many friends, familiar faces, and I could talk, gossip and laugh with these people while eating. After all, company is what makes one celebration fun. What fun is there when I am all alone at home? And what fun is there if I went beraya to a house where I can merely sit at a corner drinking and waiting? What fun is there when I don't have anyone I can freely talk to about anything?
Aaahh...maybe I'm complaining too much just because I am pissed off that after 3 months coming back to Malaysia, I am still unable to secure a permanent job. It's so frustrating to wait for interview calls. And it is even more frustrating to have a string of interviews but no job calls. I felt like I excelled but until now...? Silence. |
