Raya!!!

raya....

brings different meaning to different people.
this year raya for me is like a semester break. one week of rest. and tomorrow, i will be back at work. i don't know what prompts me to write at such a late hour like this, i have just arrived from kampong after toiling through hideous traffic jam- on the highway. maybe the ting-tong ness.

cuti cuti like this gave me ample time to reflect. too much time i guess.

in the course of my friendship with friends i'm- always melukut di tepi gantang. always datang lambat. always whining. always dependant. always what have you.

(i sometimes hate myself for it) but i love everybody.

so this raya,

i am sorry friends,

for not being as posh as Bettina Chu

i am sorry for not being as technically efficient as Jasnita Khor

i am sorry i am not a bimbo like Wardina

i am sorry i am not as fashionable as Mel Gibson

i am sorry i am not as vocally talented as Zaiton Sameon

i am sorry i am not an event manager like Shida Puki

i am sorry i am not as funny as Peter & the Wolf

i am sorry i cannot laugh like a peacock like the Attorney General's pet

i am sorry i am not the centre of the universe like Khatijah Ibrahim.

i am deeply, deeply sorry.

Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin.
