Cosmic Dust: Salam Perantauan 2012

Bismillah,

Three times in a row celebrating eid in Tucson, not bad. As early as 7:30 am in the morning, we drove to Reid Park, to where the eid prayer be held that morning. Kurang sikit sebaknya because takbir raya here don't make you feel like crying and that is how takbir suppose to be; joyful, happy, we are celebrating our victory against our nafs, our desire, our bad attitude and learn to control them. The reason why takbir in Malaysia sound sorrowful probably because anak-anak tak balik pagi raya, so everyone kinda gloomy, tapi, the parts which you go visiting your relatives, tak sedih-sedih pun kan? semua orang cheerful sebab dapat duit raya!!

Salam perantaun tahun ni, tak masuk paper pun, as usual, pemalas nak hantar kat paper, kami kan segan nak tayang muka, plus baru balik field camp, masih jelas kerentungan di wajah kami! Right after that, memang beraya habislah, we went to Dhila's house in Uni Garden, she cooked nasi lemak and her sambal memang tip top! Next is my house @ Uni Fremont - since I have to cook alone (rumet masih bergumbira di tanah air pada ketika itu!), so dapat hidangkan rendang daging, lemang, agar-agar pandan dan air sirap bandung je... The second last house was @ kak liza's and Yasmin's. They are my new neighbour, just moved in few days before raya and mereka serve cake! Rupanya si Ridzuwan the senior pun masak rendang, tapi rendang ayam dan menerima pujian yang lebih2, oh tidak, saya dah ada rival!!! Serious tak nak masak rendang lagi nanti orang compare rendang kami (walau tak sama pun daging/ayam). Kunjungan terakhir was to our new super junior (Chong, Faiz and Awang). Bila lah nak dapat junior perempuan...Rumah ni serve ice cream yang sangat banyak, oleh sebab saya yang hantar mereka buat groceries, maka saya diberi peluang untuk memilih satu flavor kegemaran, apa lagi, pantas sungguh tangan ni ambik "mint choc chips!" tapi choc chips besar sangat and I don't eat those T_T. syukur alhamdulillah, rezeki hari itu sangat murah. syukur ya Allah ;)
