..hm, I Thought It was Nowhere Nearer?

'tis the season, alright.

This is obviously a kicap on a table bench.
Look closer and you'll see Kedai Runcit Rahmath's price tag!
It's like Seri Iskandar's Tesco of some sort.

Apa hang buat tu, Abu?

Ah, the lemang! The glorious lemang! After having my lemang for berbuka bought at Shah Alam Mall today, I've come to a conclusion that this lemang -- bought at Titi Gantong near Bota -- is a masterpiece. The great taste, as always the case with traditional delicacies, comes with a cheaper price tag too. Kelihatan juga kicap yang ditunjukkan sebentar tadi.

Foooood! Ready to be devoured. A mix from the bazars from Bota and Sidec.

Yasmin dan saya! Pinjam kejap, KP!

Most of the batch. Some went missing (there are 75 of us). Well, LUAS! (Off!)

LAST WEDNESDAY WE HAD this simple buka puasa at our studio. It was a merry thing and there were lots of (delicious) food, so we enjoyed it a lot. Some of us were already leaving starting from that night, so it's the first and the last buka puasa session at the studio for the most of us for this Ramadan.

We had our annual Panjut event for the next night. Panjut involves arranging the usual pelita into much more attractive forms and organisations, a very Raya-centric tradition held by our architecture department. So we did our part. Cutting to the chase, I've to send some of us to Ipoh Train Station after the event ended that night. The train was bound to arrive at 2 am, so I was quite worried that we're not allowed to enter the campus after we're out.

Nevertheless the pak guard let us in even though it's already 3 in the morning, hassle-free. How merciful!

We began our balik raya exodus on Friday morning. By then everybody has started to leave UiTM (and Seri Iskandar, in general) back to their homes. Traffic along the way was surprisingly smooth, thank God. Traffic at the road near Batu Tiga station and Klang gave me minor headaches, anyway. And terkurang pahala jugak lah.

Earlier today we went to BB to do some Raya shopping. Last year's was great for me because I got myself lots of Ts at low prices. Yet for this year, I ended up being traumatised because our usual place for T-shirt hunting has becoming very mainstream, being attacked by lots of very confused people. I just lost my favourite T-shirt refuge! (Didn't matter anyway, the design is getting sucky). I only got a belt from Pavilion's Pull and Bear. We went back after I bought some doughnuts.

Later that evening I went to search for pelita I want to light up for tonight. Disappointingly I failed to find any (though I managed to get the kerosene). As Mama was complaining that I still haven't get myself a baju Melayu yet, I set myself for a baju hunting down at PKNS after berbuka.

After one hour of browsing through a festive crowd, I didn't get myself anything. But there is a good baju or two. It's either I'm spoilt for choice or I've absolutely have no choice -- I've had a purple baju before! Can I have a green one instead?

In terms of preparation, this Raya falls to the lowest stairs! And Raya is three days away!

"Macam tak percaya je dah nak Raya!" -- Nak tak percaya cane lagi? Kena la percaya!
