festive notes (2)

myspace is so into the raya mood nowadays haha. its that time of the year again you know, to renew ties even w/ the person you didn't even realise he or she is in your friends list. raya is like a pass for social refreshing or something. you know, maybe ice-breaking, saying hi and all that. for me la. raya nowadays is so abt material, the moral values are deteriorating. so click to your friends pages and click to your friends-who'd-wished-you's pages and give them a warm greeting. a decent 'selamat hari raya' won't harm anybody lah, ego does.

anyway, my top raya songs playlist. to add in your iPod, iTunes, winamp, mp3 player, hp or whatev freakish things that can play these.
  1. Black Dog Bone - Cahaya Aidilfitri
  2. P Ramlee - Suara Takbir
  3. Anuar & Ellina - Suasana Hari Raya (tv3 ad)
  4. M Nasir - Satu Hari di Hari Raya
  5. Uji Rashid & Hail Amir - Seloka Hari Raya
  6. Sudirman - Dari Jauh Ku Pohon Maaf
  7. Saloma - Selamat Hari Raya (a must sing-along song!)
  8. P Ramlee - Dendang Perantau
  9. Ahmad Jais - Selamat Hari Raya
  10. Sharifah Aini - Suasana Hari Raya/Hai Selamat Hari Raya
among others, Sudirman's Balik Kampung and DJ Dave's Menjelang Hari Raya. I got this Raya Instrumental cd last week, but now the pathetic cd is nowhere to be found. but boleh tahan lah, the sounds, though the guitar plucking's seemed funny with too much echo. spoil!

i helped mom to change and set the curtains. yeah the next word is tiring. too much detail, bla bla. i was putting up the curtains and setting the chains while watching this tamil movie at tv2. tegelak gelak. then at 1pm my battery was so out, i slept unchalantly on the carpet at the living room until 4pm! haha. mom ignored me and proceed - the next thing i know when i woke up the curtains were all have been put up. heheh

dad is back from shanghai. and the family's complete to do anything for the whole week of raya! mom's planning to finish everything tomorrow. and i'll be devastated. they're doing the moonsighting tomorrow ey? whee can't wait! so excited la, haha like kids sum more. oi you're 17 already lah tanggachi.

which reminds me - learnt new vocabs today, thanks to tamil movies (chandramukhi and that telemovie) - dada is grandpa, pathi - grandma, chitti - aunt, maple - brother in law, tanggachi - little sister (right?) and thambi is, well, little brother la. correct me if i'm wrong aa haha! chit poodah. seree ye?

the whole caravan of kuih raya is here! i officiated them just now. they were so sinful. i tried not to proceed - if i did, we'll be so kuihless by tomorrow. ngeh ngeh.

anyway i just reformatted my pc, so right now i dont hv programmes like, say, photoshop. the cd's at maliha. so for raya this year, i think i've no special artworks la. you know, those thingy with greetings on them. much more like cards la. i'll just use last year's eheh (yes files are saved, thanks to 'the' oh so organised myself haha)

to those who will travel tomorrow to their kampungs and hometowns, selamat balik kampung ey. remind your parents (or drivers for the preppy ones) to always berhati² di jalan raya you know. anda boleh mengubahnya, and things like that. they mean it really. so drive safe, be safe, arrive safe, celebrate safe, and come home safe!

have fun celebrating raya with your loved ones!
