Just got back from sembahyang sunat Aidiladha. As usual, we parked at the side lane of Tadika Chong, a lane adjoining the street of our house to Jalan Maarof, to the masjid. By right can walk only, but but but.. tak sanggop deal with sweat in cleavage and underarms. Beggars lined up at the mosque carpark entrance.
"Ma, let's give money!"
"Later please sayang, on our way out okeh"
Actually mama got 2 pieces of fifty ringgit only in her purse as far as she could remember. Wonder beggars got change or not? Later mama will try to fish out for coins in the inside pocket of the bag. Little boy and daddy waved goodbye, making their way to the men's section, arranging slippers before they walk up the side steps. Daddy's attempt to not endanger the safety of people accidently stepping on slippers strewn all over the staircase.
Somewhere at the ladies' section, in an attempt to "merapatkan saf" as best as we could, three generations stood in a row. A 60 year old, a 31 year old and a 10 year old.
The 31 year old and the 60 year old socialites were busy talking and saying hello to their Bangsar neighbours right after prayers.
While the little 10 year old girl is busy counting the change she managed to korek from her mum's handbag's inner pocket, to give to the carpark beggars and their children.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all those celebrating and May God have Mercy upon us all.
Amin.

Selamat Hari Raja Aidiladha
The wish above goes to all the Moslem readers of Enchanted Realm.
I was really busy that I actually forgot to blog about this.
One thing about Hari Raya Haji, i noticed is not as party-like as Hari Raya Puasa, in cities. So, we are celebrating it on a medium-scale. Err Raya puasa also sederhana scale actually. What to cook tomorrow? We planned on some chicken rendang, some Beriyani and some Kurma and some vegetables. My auntie and her children is coming over and we cant wait to visit their new house in return! I am going home a bit early today to VACUUM. Yeah.. what a wonderful life! Mum and Jr (eeyyy... something wrong here!) is taking care of the kitchen bit.
Saturday, I will be back at work, even tho the boss wont be in.
I wish I can treat tomorrow as another holiday (day-off)... am so stressed out.
I planned with some homies to meet up tonight for drinks though. Aaaaah... that's nice! Tonight is also Daniel's turn to sleep on the bed, with me and daddy. Yesterday was Farah who cuddled up. Adorable, adorable kids.
P/s: One of the bloggers from Gengjurnal, calls me sombong for not PROMPTLY replying his YM sometimes when he buzz me (yeah... he prolly thinks that I work as a Yahoo Massenger administrator and I stare at YM ALL DAY and do nothing even when I munch lunch!) and abt not visiting his blog. Errr.. well.. I am sombong. That's nothing new aint it? Well.. by the way.. do I have to tell the world if I bloghop? What if I really dont read blogs, is that a sin? Some people need to learn that there are more to life than pondering too much on that. Sungguh duhh..

Thank god for the invention of stilettos
I was in the LRT this morning, with a book in my hand, a serious looking chignon tied up meticulously, with a red suit on. Men just dont care who they harass nowadays.
Packed Putra LRT scenario, BGSR-KLCC.
A man, carrying a rucksack boarded train after me. All stood together a bit less closer than sardines in a can. I have to board this particular train because I let go of two trains already. The previous two trains looks worse than a sardine/mackarel/tuna mayonnaise can!
To cut a story short, after people pushing in and out as we reach several stations, the man is positioned right behind me. He's ugly, with jerawat batu face, luckily he didnt smell like shit, he's wearing a Family Day 2001 tshirt of some company, a track bottom and a hard cock thrusting my butt!
oh what the fuck.
Didnt he know that as he started doign that, the next stop witll be KLCC ... and well.. I do look like I work in KLCC area where everything means business. And he failed to notice my killer-black-heels.
As he was trying to thrust harder... i pushed him with my bum until he terlanggar the guy behind him. Yup, I was standing at the middle bar by then. Ready to spring out or scream if things get any worse. But, the train stops and as the door opens after 2 breaks of the train, i sink the darn right side killer heel into his toes,/feet or whetever I am stepping on his some-sort of Bata Sandal he's wearing. For fucks sakes... I know that hurts. And I know, even by not looking at his pimpled face, I'm sure he has turned as blue as his tshirt.
Yucks. One harass case down today. I'm ready to take on the world. Cewah. Feels like ala2 hero in heels. Cam Sydney-Bristow or Barb Wire sikit gitu.
I love it when my beloved heels come in good use. As long as I dont put it to BAD use like in the movie "Single White Female", my husband's fine with it. (the scene where the bad roomie visited Bridget Fonda's boyfriend's apartment and did something naughty).
Fashionista vain-check: Why are my shoes black with my red suit?
Answer: Because my tanktop inside the jacket and my handbag's black.

Hehe... remember a posting where i used to mention I dont mind being Lara? Neutral, sweet, smiley,chirpy, strong, looks naturally happy and very approachable? I love all those.. buttttttt... not in Lara's desk.
Lara.. now I get the picture of more of less what you have to go thru with studies and a baby in tow and back home as a wife and being an office-multitasker. i wonder how you actually make it. uhukkks.. Lara's a WONDERWOMAN!
I was entrusted and assigned to take care of her team (to pat and give them some TLC) while she is away. But, there's something they forgot to ask me. Whether I know totally what to do when I am there. No two jobs are exactly the same when you're in a big firm (well.. in my opinion, anywhere also), unless you're a TYPIST and your work is just to TYPE. Now in the modern technology world, things change big time! Its just that the way things work and organised in a department are different from another. Therefore I'm struck dumb a bit today, which like I suspected. Tapi, guess wot.. I survived! That's after at least 17 calls I made to Lara today!Lara i didnt mean to... hehe. I hope I eased a BIT of her work-pain though.
I'm so glad she is finally out of the hospital. The dreaded life within the HOSPITAL room and walls. Urrgh... when I was there.. 3 days is always more than enough for me. Takpe. u get well soon girl. I was the only one I think who didnt get to pay her a visit there. Because I was ill as well. No time to recuperate, as when I got back to the office, its back to hell-hole.
