Enchanting Raya Season

After the whole month of hard-time fasting, Muslim finally able to thrill in the celebration of the new Hari Raya. Which mark an end to Ramadan month of every year. Along with the prodigious national Jubilee, my college had taken a week of holidays. Yet the burdened up coming mid-term exam and abundant undone revision had broach this dilemma of whether should I go home or not. And the subject of demanding bus ticket had screwed all my plan, by the time I've tried to book for ticket, all are sold, and flight was not available in economical price by the moment. Without any alternative, I have to hold back on this thought. But out of nowhere, Ang just bump into me and offered me a free ride back to Penang, in which, it may be a solution to all my pickle. I was extremely gratefully that moment. We went back together to Penang where Ang's parent settled. And I have to conduct myself properly throughout the stay despite the decent family. The bond of kinship amongst the members are well-built, even the relative engaged themself well in the others matter. The gramp would drop by for the weekend and the whole group of family member would went for a feast. The family are filled with future profession like doctor and accountant, and don't mention Ang(lawyer) himself. So I suppose that education has something to do on families relationship, might be insignificant, but this rationale might actually be real. On the fact that in contrast, I've seen family which are poorly educated, they are more keen to possess the trait of being self-centred and egoistic. Nevertheless, that just what I've regarded through my observation. Now going back to the Penang stay, we invited Meyven( a colleague which move to Penang for her further law degree) for dinner and then went on the Batu Feringgi for a stroll. The weather was not helping at all, again another wringing-wet experience I could say. Not a big deal for a big boy like us, but I was surprise Meyven never complain further about the downpour *chuckle*. Well that's about my journal back to Langkawi. Well as usual nothing much has changed back in my home. So before the day I went back to Nilai, I have this thought of having an informal reunion with my fellow form 6 classmates. And since I didn't have any transit to carry me from jetty to the bus station, and by chance Marisa was accessible and free, I've called her out to manage the whole gathering. And we've decide to bob up to the newest Old Town Cafe just located just beside the new shop lot beside Keat Hwa. The attendance was well...fair...around 8 to 9 of us, since most of them had not came back for holidays for the raya. Probably facing the same difficulty as mine. We have our twaddle, everyone was doing great, Marisa was doing her 2nd year dental course in UM, Ying Wei is doing her pharmacy as well, the rest also taking up different profession respectively. After the chatter, we went on to bowling at Pacific Mall. Then the gang sent me to the bus company around 11 before I actually go back to KL. It was such excrucaiting experience on the bus as I've forgotten to bring my jacket, and the air conditioner was extremely cold, I guess my miscount messed up my life. The bus went all the way to Genting to release some passenger before proceed to KL, and that's how my wholly 3 hours of time are wasted. Still I manage to get to campus in the afternoon, and yes the traffic was terrible. That's all about how my Raya journey begin and end, and now, time to persist on striving for the Mid-term exam.
