Happy Belated Deepa'Oli..
I had fun beraya-ing this yr..
yey..
Had 5 days off, 2 days prior, and 2 days after raya.. but had to change away my London to get the off days though.. which means that celebrating the raya cost me abt a thousand bucks extra..
but takpe.. dapat raya..
Puasa tak nak.. raya je nak.. standard..
Anyway... here are the pics from my Nagoya flight, which I did just before raya..
Got out of the hotel at abt 7pm for dinner alone.. and walked abt 20 mins to get to the 100 Yen shop..
And the horror of horrors..
The whole freaking building was closed to be demolished!
aaaaaaaarrggggggghhh..
MY BELOVED 100 YEN SHOP IS GONE!
Didnt have time to walk to the other 100 Yen shop coz it was a lil too late and if I attempted to go there, I wont even be able to make it in time... so I walked and walked and walked around the city..
the streets of Nagoya..
and another street of Nagoya..
this is called the Koban.. a Police Post.. a typically Japanese concept..
Singapore's Neighbourhood Police Posts are modelled after this Koban system..
Anyway, Japanese police officers are so so so much respected that parents will gladly marry their daughters off to a Policeman..
in Singapore, if u marry a policeman.. ur dad will reject coz it will mean that he would have to support u still..
and ur husband..
and ur kids..
one of those things that I like about Japan are the restaurants..
Even the simplest restaurant are managed with pride.. and most restaurants have a display of their food, made of plastic.. and it looked freaking real..
some Singaporean Japanese restaurants had recently caught up with this idea.. but in Japan, itz everywhere..
and it really look so freaking real..
see?
and of course..
Japan..
the country of Weirdness..
where they sell iPods at 7-11..
and in Singapore, they only sell cup noodles...
here u can even get porn magazines..
gerek kan?
ok.. thatz it abt Japan..
On Hari Raya eve, went out to Geylang Bazaar with Yuliez.. my old neighbour girl whoz flying for Emirates now, whom I had known since she was 6 and I was 13.. her brother, and her close friend, Faizal.. and came back at abt 6am the next morning..
Bazaar open till that late xia.. I didnt know that.. ni orang suma tak tau nak raya ke?
And as soon as I got home.. changed and continued baking some scones.. *ahem.. I now can baked tauuu.. and so far no one had died*..
And my first customer of the day.. my eldest brother who came at 7.30am..
mana ada orang datang raya kol 7.30 pagi dah.. dia sorang je..
Slept till abt 3.. and layan the streaming guests till the last ones, my buddy Wily, and my 3 foreign neighbours from India.. all 3 are new stewardesses.. and we chatted till abt 1.30am..
on the 2nd day of raya.. went out to my brother's place.. Azlan.. and his wife, Yanti..
Yanti.. btw.. I meant it.. u have a nice house.. pandai jugak adik ipar aku ni decorate.. I really doubt that Azlan played a part in the design.. heh.. we guys are not cut out for that..
And that nite, went over to my sister's place.. and to my cousin's place.. one that I have not seen since I was a kid.. from my dad's side of the family..
So basically, thatz it.. I went to Shanghai on the 4th day of raya.. and basically, didnt do anything there coz the traffic from the airport to the hotel was bad and by the time we got there, it was dark..
and went off to Johore right after I landed from flight on Saturday.. to celebrate jalan jalan raya there and visit my Malaysian relatives.. being in 3 countries in a single day.. China, Singapore and Malaysia..
thatz us..
and no.. my nieces are not available.. so u males with raging hormones, dont even attempt to ask..
I'm a hypocryte.. anak sedara aku sendiri korang tak ley tekel.. anak sedara orang lain takpe..
basically.. thatz it.. I had a lot of things to whine abt but coz this is a Raya posting, I shall not whine tonite..
tmrw shall be the whiny day..
Selamat Belated Hari Raya Aidil Fitri..
kuih dah abis baru nak wish..
*P/S: Therez no vulgarity in this entire posting.
