Eid Mubarak everyone!
I want to wish every Muslim out there Eid Mubarak; for Malaysian, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!*grins*
We here in Bath are actually celebrating Eid today (Friday), while my family and the people back home in Malaysia are celebrating it on Saturday. It does feel a bit strange to celebrate it earlier… Anyway, after this there are also going to be chances of eating nice food! *grins* And of course, meeting people. And chatting. So I would like to thank in advance all the people who invited me to their ‘open house’ gatherings. *grins again* Thanks a lot people!
Wishing you all Eid Mubarak again! And here are some Raya cards (and wishes) just for you…
The beginning and (nearly) the end
It’s already the beginning of the new semester. The university is being bombarded with all these undergraduates, i.e. there are huge crowd of people and long queues. Really long queues. I think I’m feeling a bit fed up with the long queues to wait for the bus. And the (occasional) traffic jam and rain are just making things worse. Arrgghhh! Okay, calm down. Anyway, I also have to get used to classes again. Luckily, my load is rather light this semester. And I quite enjoy my Mandarin class; it’s lucky that I did some revision beforehand. *grins*
On another note, I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of Ramadan already; we only have one week to go. How fast the time flies… The Malay community here in Bath are already planning our jamuan Hari Raya. I can’t wait to eat all the lovely food… *grins* Of course, it’s nice to meet up with the other Malay people too. Talking about meeting up, I quite miss going to lunch with the other postgrads from my department. I even miss the food in our cafeteria! That sure says something… More like I’m tired of cooking food myself. *sheepish grin*
