Syawal 2013

Syawal's here. So much happenings especially with the new sem starting next week! O_o I'm so not ready. We're SO not ready. Ok let's put that aside for just a bit.

I had quite a 'down Raya eve' this yr. :(

Mom called the tailor last weekend and she was told that our baju wld be ready on Raya eve (sounded quite ridiculous but gave the benefit of doubt). When the day came, tailor called in the morn only to tell mom that her machine was spoilt. Already a lil blown but even more ridiculous when she said not even a single baju (mom's 3 mine 1 top and 2 bottoms) we sent was ready!
It's not as if we sent our material last min but back in May.
Anyways, lesson learnt, not to send materials to home-based tailors anymore.
What made it worst was he has bought matching colors with mine. Which we have never ever planned in previous years. Felt so pissed.

 

Thanks to bro, dad, sis and sis-in-law who accompanied me to grab my last min baju at Geylang.
It wasn't easy to have the need to choose a baju on the eve but thankfully, found 1 not that matching with his but I love the cut and trusted the shop (we bot from that Chinese auntie before). Dad even was sweet to grab mom a baju as well. And it didn't come in cheap for him. Mom was delighted of cos but she didn't wana wear for Raya but for another occasion instead.

 

So it was the first time we celebrated as fiancé/ fiancée. Didn't know what to expect except for the visiting of his bros' places. Thankful and so glad that we prayed at the same mosque this year. The feeling of performing your prayers in the same mosque is priceless. Cos u were on that 2nd floor, knowing that your other half is physically with you one floor down. After prayers, he came over for breakfast and we made our way to his 1st bro's as well as his close neighbor. Kind people they are. Pakcik also gave fruitful advices and doas to us. Alhamdulillah.

 

By 1230, we were done with 2 houses! Bro and the rest fetched me and managed to squeeze him in as well. We then officially started our annual visiting. Usually we made our way to the direct family's places but this time, we managed to cover TEN houses within 1st Syawal! He was really shagged cos he has nvr done this before. hee. Ended the day close to midnite.
3 houses at BB - Jln Bahar - Clementi - West Coast - Holland - 2 houses at AMK - Hougang

 

Here's 3 of my fave snaps!
