A delay doubles the Celebration!

We in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia (,Earth?) had our Eid Celebration a day later than our Malaysian counterparts.

It was quite disheartening at first because you know your loved ones are already engaging in the annual meet ups and whatnots while you're at home, wishing them "Happy Hari Raya!" over the phone.

So we ended up having a double celebration on the 31st of August 2011 : Eid and our nation's (...th) independence day! haha. at about this moment i can't exactly be bothered to do the calculations.

And yes, that's why we had malaysian flags as part of the decor.and that is also why we were all dressed up. Come to think of it. It wasn't all bad. Cos there were lots of people, food, and that...leads to a whole bunch of 'side' entertainment. Plus. noone ever dresses up for merdeka. well..definitely not me. So this made the combo even more effective!

I seldom dress up. Well...i used to...for presentations...but that is a rare occurrence especially in this final semester, that most people didn't recognize me. Wonder if that's actually a good/bad thing haha. At least 5 people said to my face "whoa. i didn't know that was you!" or "i looked carefully at your face and then remembered...ooooh i know you!" i must be that much of a hermit hey! Don't get all concerned for me now. Those people were all just acquaintances...not really the uni students whom i meet AAALLLL the time :P

To all my dear readers/stalkers ...i wish you a Selamat Hari Raya!

please forgive me if i ever wronged you....or if i managed to cause uneasiness due to the permanent frown i have stuck on my face :P
