Raya and Shit.

Well this was long overdue! I thought I posted this up, dang it! Raya this year was superbly insane, well maybe not superbly but insane? Sorta. It's 2.30 am-ish so I'll just cut the whole Raya story short.

1.) Good news is I'm an aunt now, yeah..... baby Aaron was born on Raya eve so that pretty much cut our "staff" availability by 2. Though my grandma had been here for almost 3 weeks and she helped cooked almost all the awesome dishes during the puasa and Raya periods. Gotta love ma grandma!

2.) "Slaved" away for the first 5 days of Raya (not including the days I helped with cookie making and rendang stirring and stuff). The day before Raya (18th of August), me and my second brother slaved away with chores and cooking and chores and chores and chores and more cooking and cleaning up stuff and stuff late as expected. Did I mention that my finals were on the 27th?

3.) Anyway 1st day of Raya I believe was relaxed cause we didn't have many people come to the house. So blah!

4.) 2nd day was a lil crazy but I wasn't there cause.....wait wait I tell story! That was the day my second brother's friends were scheduled to come over so yeah everything was all good and stuff, until my cousins came. And it like BOOOOM! Ok so there weren't that many people just like 5 ish brother's friends, 2 of my sis in-laws family, 1 of my older brother's best friends, my family of 8 (plus grandma and baby) and my 7 well built cousins? Thta's not too much for a medium sized terrace house right? Right? IT'S JUST LIKE 23 PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE!!!!!! So yeah, we ran out of chicken for curry (WHICH I NOW PROUDLY COOK!) so..... I drove my dad to get that and some other stuff, got back and ended up heading out with my cousins to 2 different shopping malls, watched Expandables 2, had "lunch", dinner, dessert AND learned how to play an addictive card game. Got home at 10 and went on with the card game till 12 before the ciao-ed. Super duper awesome day! All that with finals coming up on the 27th, just sayin, course I finished studying 1 subject already so thank god.

5.) 3rd day was as crazy cause it was booked for my mom's possie. Don't remember much other than the oh so wonderful fried chicken my dad makes. And the mess but that was still ok. Really, it was even with like yet again 20+ people flooding the house again.


P.s - I don't remember how many times we talked throughout Raya, was it 3 times? I can't be sure but you sure as hell know how to make me smile and laugh. =)

P.p.s - Have I said this before? Cause even if I have I'll say it again, all of my favorite stories are about you. =)
