Zoo and Crosswords

Yesterday was a very busy day for me. Went to visit MuffinMan at the hospital in the morning. The guy was down with Dengue Fever and did not look like his usual upbeat self. (The horrible fro-like hair didn’t help either :P).

After spending some much-missed time with MuffinMan (and getting some tips from his mom on where to get good Nasi Kerabu), E and I left to go to the Zoo. That’s right. THE ZOO! Entrance fee was RM20 per person, and since I wasn’t smart enough to bring a camera, we had to buy one of those one-time use camera for RM30. Bye bye money. Huhuhu. We saw some pretty cool animals. FYI, I did not know porcupines were huge!

Later that night, I hung out with Psychedelic Diva. Hung out with her the night before and realized just how much I’ve always enjoyed hanging out with her and how I’ve missed it. She’s the ONLY person from Convent Sentul that I actually keep in touch with in person. We spent last night shisha-ing at Castle, getting high on Mountain Dew and racking our brains over some crossword puzzles. Next on our to-do list is SHOPPING NEXT SATURDAY! Hah! I’m actually excited about a shopping outing!

Aidilfitri Achievement 2009 – Disappointing!

Ketupat Count: 15

I am sorely disappointed in myself. Only 15 ketupats this year? Man… I’m losing my touch! Hopefully I’ll be able to eat more than 15 ketupats next year. Gambarimasu!

On a different note, the highlight of this year’s Aidilfitri for me was not the food nor the feel of Aidilfitri. It was our (my 2 sisters, my cousin, and I) attempt to take pictures of ourselves jumping in the air… IN BAJU KURUNG! Here are two of the best shots we got:

Note: Can you see my flying shoe? Hee Hee Hee.

P9200833 This one’s awesome coz our uncle, Pak Ngah, happened to be passing by, and we were like “Come jump with us!” and HE DID! LOL!

Of course, Aidilfitri wouldn’t be Aidilfitri without our tradition of taking silly pictures of ourselves :)

P9200757 1st day of Aidilfitri…

P9210888 2nd day of Aidilfitri…

P9210886 BUT… in reality, we actually do look nice when we’re not making dumb faces :)

Oh, did I mention that we took our cats along with us for balik kampung?

Of course, when you’re in the rural area, cats aren’t the only animal you’re going to encounter…

P9190731 Centipede… (A dead one. My dad killed it.)

P9210901 Leech… (My mom had an ingrown thumbnail and her finger was filling up with puss, so my dad found a leech to suck it all out. It worked!)

Well, that just about sums up my Aidilfitri this year. How was yours? :)
