When I grow up.. I wannabe a Dr.

cak!! 3 down.. no pressure nik.. deep breath in.. and out..

salam lads.. just to get the ball rolling before my other 3 hsemates (in cork at the time of posting) keep "hentam"-ing me.. as mentioned, the other one-fifth is in limerick.. so he might not know the existence of this just yet.. nonetheless, thanks the same to aiman, izad n shahid for the establishment of this when-i-grow-up-i-wannabe-a-dr.. congratulations!! =p

well to be honest, never been into this industry of blogging before.. i would rather consider myself as a secretive person as opposed to expressive.. i would love others to recognise things, feelings etc. instead of me telling them.. but then again, i can be that expressive-guy as much as being secretive if i want to.. and i know i should be proactive most of the time.. nnt sume bende pn terlepas.. so.. errr enough of this babbling.. -to be continued-

okie dokie.. back to the main message of this posting.. just wanna wish everyone, every Muslims in the world "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Batin".. salam rindu buat keluarga, saudara mara dan sahabat handai di Malaysia tanah air tercinta.. salam rindu dan sayang juga kepada dua orang yang tersayang di Newcastle, U.K... it's been a while since our last celebration of hari raya together.. it's been a while since dapat salam cium peluk di pagi raya.. it's been a while since dapat tangkap gambar raya sama2.. it's been a while since saya dapat duit raya.. it's been a while since dapat rasa masakan n hidangan serta kuih-muih di hari raya.. it's been a while since pergi rumah terbuka and collect duit raya.. it's been a while since... *missing home mode*

alrighty.. enough said.. btw i've decided (or shall i say we've decided) to skip the hospital-day tomorrow.. even our Irish colleagues will "join" us tomorrow and ponteng.. x sabar rasanya hati untuk solat raya pagi esok.. n then makan kuzi kot *wink*.. owh before gerak smyg raya, boleh makan 1. nasi impit, 2. roti, 3. rendang daging, 4. ayam kurma aiman, 5. menu shahid (at the time of posting, shahid x siap masak lagi.. berebut dapur td..).. tho x byk mane pn, itulah juadah di pagi raya di teratak kami for the brainbarriers *wowww*.. btw anda tidak dijemput k.. cukup2 je utk kami berempat =p (sorry to ameen jgk.. ape lah ko makan ek kat limerick tuh..)

okies i wouldn't bore you anymore.. pecah kaca pecah gelas, sudah baca harap balas.. salam aidilfitri to all.. semoga raya kali ini lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya.. maaf zahir dan batin.. oleh kerana masa yang sangat cemburukan saya.. hamba mohon permisi..

gentlemen, good night..
ladies, good morning..

Its that time of the year where i generally would look foward to, Hari Raya Puasa.. when i was in Malaysia that is..
However, this has been the 5th year for me and my fellow batch mates celebrating raya in Cork the korok land..haha.
I miss celebrating raya with my family, miss kissing my parents hands in the morning of Syawal, miss hugging my brothers n sisters, miss gathering up with fellow cousins, aunts, uncles, nenek n tok (Alfatihah to arwah atok Ahmad n tokwan Md Zain), i miss the hustle n bustle of the night before raya where all the cooking of rendang and mixing of dodol are done.. watching the little ones running around with illegal fireworks in their hand..i miss going from house to house collecting duit raya, eating till u become borderline hyperglycaemic and hypercholestraemic..hahah..ahh, how i miss the good ol' days of Hari Raya..
5 tahun beraya di perantauan defenitely makes u appreciate more of what u have back home..
this year is extra sad coz my dear Lindat has gone back to Malaysia..
well..u've got to do what u've got to do right?? as of now, i'm still pondering wether to skip hospital tomorrow morning to go for Solat Sunat Aidilfitri..this could be my last raya in Cork mind you..insyaAllah..
haish..enough of yapping.. straight to the point..
i want to wish everyone SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, MINAL AIDIN WAL FAIZIN.. SEPULUH JARI DISUSUN MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

how festive can this raya be? let us all hope that this raya bring some joyful moments that we can treasure for years to come. so, from the bottom of my heart, selamat hari raya and maaf zahir batin.

Di malam raya... kami berempat - Aiman, Nik, Shahid and aku baru jer lepas buka puasa. Ameen? Kesian dia... beraya kat Limerick. It must have been hard on him. Our thoughts goes out to him...

Aiman bawak keluar laptop dia, and then pasang lagu raya. Terasa sedih jugak sebab malam raya kat perantauan ni, and teringat family kat Malaysia.

Nik at the moment tengah potong wut-u-call-it .. daging untuk rendang esok. the football game is on the tele, and aiman is next to me... watching me writing this 1st ever blog for the lads.

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin.
p/s: Korang ni brapa hari miss puasa? LOL.
