Yes i am very excited everytime when it comes to Raya. It is becoz' it is the only time i get to visit my relatives once a year. Yes its true "ONCE A YEAR" that is for my relatives from my dad's side. I don't regularly visit cousins staying in Tutong and I'm not very close with them. I get to visit them every once a year. Unlike my mom's siblings of corz, we get to meet quite often. Its another year I got the chance to celebrate Raya, Alhamdulillah... semoga panjang umur! I was reli happy when we were announced that our Raya will falls on Thursday 2nd Oct'08. We got to fast another day and I still got time to do some unfinished errands.

I slept reli late as late as 4am the nite before Raya and I skipped Sembahyang Raya.. my bad! Anyhoo, my brother woke me up around 10ish and we left home at around 12ish. First off, we went to NiNi's Madang house ( my mom's side ) and the couzies were alredi there except the 6999's family and 934's family. The 934's family just left coz' they still need to visit other relatives from the other sides. Again this year, we celebrated Raya without my beloved couzie Emma who is back in UK. But I hope she's all good back in UK and enjoy her Raya as we are in Brunei. Of corz, it feels different celebrating without the family but hopefully u feel as if u were home when you're there. We miss you a lot! First day, we didn't get to take a lot of pichas coz' we were somehow busy mingling with the couzies. Also, its been 3 years Raya, we celebrated our Raya w/out our Grandpa ( mom's side ) & NO! we didn't forget about him. Infact, we went to Kubur the next day with all the couzies, aunts & uncles. My first day Raya was not bad at all except that my eldest sister and Brother Akmal didnt get to Raya-ing with the family due to some reason. So yeah , we managed to visit few relatives in Tutong before we headed of to Nini Lumapas. Met the 934's family at Nini Lumapas and we ended the nite visiting back to Nini Madang's house to celebrate Syaza's B'day. It was one exhausted nite and we went home around 2ish. Managed to force myself to take shower before sleeping & i ended sleeping at around 4ish eventho' i complained that i was too tired and sleepie. INSOMNIA strikes me and dats the reason i can't sleep, fuluiiii!

Despite the tiring exhausted nite, I had another sleepless nite whereby I was awaken by my brother at around 8ish. Awal kalie ah......!! We woke up early coz' we promised to go to Kubur @ around 9ish. Everyone was already there wen we arrived. After Kubur, we went to Yayasan & Had our lunch while the guys went for Friday prayers. Arrived home at around 2ish and It was one quiet afternoon. Around 3ish, there were relatives from Limbang & Miri who visited us & I was too shy to go down to mingle with them. I don't know why! While waiting for them to leave, i fell asleep while watching TV. I was supposed to go to Saloon to get my hair done and I did after that. Took my shower when i reached then headed off to Ustaz Nasruni's house with the family. Then went straight to Muara & met up with the whole family eg. aunties, uncles & cousins. Visited the couzies from Muara & we took a lot of pictures. I'm gonna post a bit of the pictures taken during my second day of Raya. I had a reli exhausting nite, yet fun!

Im getting sleepy and its alredi 2ish am rite now.. ill just post the pix tomorrow then. To my couzie Emma, Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir & Batin. Miss you babe! &...............
