Raya means Makan.

So. turned out i am still being diligent and hardworking and passionated with blogging. few hours after publishing the previous entry (yang bajet teaser la konon wtf) i am already itching to publish this one. iman blogging yang senipis kulit bawang sungguh.

it began a week or so ago after i was done with my lectures and was in the taxi on the way home, layan-ing my own thoughts when out of the blue, i decided to enjoy my hari raya for this year differently. with malaysians instead of the usual celebrating with my egyptian foster family.

so i contacted hani in alex and everything just fell into the places, she told me i could join her friends potluck party and last friday i boarded the train there alone!

so here there are, the pictures from raya makan makan get-together/ Qiqi's surprise birthday party which i selamba-ly joined at Johannas and Sadhana's place!

preparing the props for the surprise birthday party before the girl reached the place. damn funny please, when she rang the bell, they all became frantic and was trying to hide it all in the other room. when she rang the bell again, Johannas simply said "kejap, tak jumpa kunci" HAHAHAHAHHAAHA funny okay because how can you be locked from the inside! but luckily, Qiqi bought it anyway.

malaysian food galore: Soto, bergedil, nasi himpit, beef rendang, lots of desserts, and the best of all KUAH KACANG!

there were balloons written with captions suited for other occasions than birthday. "it's a boy!" "just married and randomest of all, there was even a balloon with a flag on it hahahaha! (not sure what country it was, my geography knowledge suckballs)

the right-most girl is Najwa, who used to be my roomate back in pasum! what a small world kannn.

red velvet cupcakes was part of the surprise party for the birthday girl!

and lastly pictures of them (not all are in the pics though, specifically the girls. sorry korang!):
