Most of the shoppping are done. Just waiting for the goodies to be delivered.So there you go,just 1 TRIP to Geylang on a weekday to buy everything.We might be going for another round next week i think.Just to bask in the festival lights and wat left of the Ramadhan season.And of course, its not going to be on a weekend.Till than...Finally, the whole family went down to Geylang Bazaar on Wednesday.It is certainly not as crowded as it has always been on weekends.Both Ewan and the husband managed to get themselves their raya outfits.The thing is this year, all of us will be using a different color each.Tu lah! sape suro plan last minute.Me and my mum have never bought any Raya clothes from Geylang bazaar before.It has always been personally tailored. So ya,i could not find the right outfit for both Ewan & the husband to match me n haylie.So i give up n tell them to get watever color they want.
It is the 17th day of Ramadhan.I have been to Geylang Serai only once,and dat is during the day.They say, Hari raya is not complete without passing there at night.Me and the husband, we have been wanting to go, but i just do not have the mood for it at this point of time. More of that later.
It's Haylie's 1st raya, and i am kind of excited about it.We have already placed orders for the cookies and goodies.My mum stopped making them, cos she just got lazy.But but but, she still have to make "Kek Kukus" for my family members. I dont know how she is going to do it with Haylie constantly wanting her attention every minute of the day.But i am sure she will cope.A superwoman, my mum is!! Next week,me and the husband + my bro will be going shopping for their "baju raya". And next week too,the rest of the family including Haylie will be going to bazaar geylang for Haylie's 1st taste of the night crowd and the light display.And NO, we are so not going on a Saturday or Sunday!
Some random pics for today.Half a day is gone, and soon it will be time to break fast."Selamat Berpuasa"
Tudung bought by her granny
She was having "runny nose"..
Seeing dat she is not"tugging" at the tudung, i quicky put on her "bandana"..she hates this thing
till the next update..
Funny thing is,"TIME",it creeps upon us ever so sneakily.And so without knowing, it is dat time of the year again,this man turns 27 of age.
Happy Birthday my dear husband.You are very much loved and appreciated.
My weekends went very well.Managed to get few things done.My mum bought some stuffs for Hari Raya.I finally sent my kain to my dedicated tailor.Sunday was spent at the Mother in law's place. Broke fast together with the husband's bro & fiancee.N since we did not bring her stroller along, haylie joined us at the dinner table.Me? i never did manaage to eat properly cos i was holding her with 1 hand.And this little gal of mine, she simply cannot sit still!!So i gave up n let the husband broke his fast first.

All of us will be busy running & coordinating the event for tonight. Hope everything will turn our well.More in the next post.
The "lap-lip" is finally up after breaking fast yesterday.The babe??She was looking at the lights without blinking before she decides to put it in her mouth.
And while we were busy using sticky tape to tape the lights,i taped her cheek.Make her look like those Indian babies with black dot on their cheeks.
Next up, the photos from Bangkok.Ewan was chosen to represent Singapore for "The King's Cup World SepakTakraw Championship".
I force him to pose with the Singapore Team Jersey
Leaving Changi Airport, with the team.
As expected, being from Singapore, they have more than 1 Jersey.
In Yellow
In dark blue
I dont know who this guy is, but apparently he is a famous Takraw player from Thailand,and its the 1st time ewan saw him live.
As predicted by most Singaporeans in the SepakTakraw arena,Singapore will be thrashed badly.In fact, i told Ewan to just enjoy himself even if they lost.He himself too predicted that his team will not stand a chance against the big players from all over the world.My conversation with him over the phone, he keeps on saying that his team lost. SO,imagine my surprise when he show me this photo. Its the highlight of the whole Bangkok Trip.
THIS BOY N HIS TEAM MANAGE TO SECURE A BRONZE MEDAL FOR SINGAPORE. The only medals i know are from my school days. This one in particular feels different in texture & weight.So this is how a real medal feels like..
Players from Dubai
Going back to Hotel
Bangkok Airport..going home
Cogratulations! We are so proud of you. He celebrated his 21st birthday in Bangkok and winning a Bronze medal is definitely a present which can't be match. (other than his motorbike) So next up, another competition is at China or Vietnam. Have not been decided if he is still chosen to be in the team. Nevertherless, Congrats!!
Firstly, to all muslims,"Selamat Berpuasa" And so, i have been bugging the hubby to fix "lampu lap-lip" for Haylie. My little princess loves the flickering lights. So please get down to it real soon hokay!! Nothing is prepared for Raya as yet. We have yet to sent our kain to our faithful tailor. No clothes yet for the husband.
In this fasting month, it is also a time to test your patience and be merciful to your foes. Like the time when i was pregnant around the same time last year, i totally mellowed down bcos its no use having hateful thoughts and furthermore its the holy month and not to mention, its bad for the baby. And now, 7 months later, i would like to maintain it dat way. Toning down my temper.(and seriously, its bad to be slapping people who agitates you) And normally, its the ugly and fat women are the ones who likes to do the agitating. But ya, no matter what you do, these "baboons" won't change so it is not worth it to get worked up. Let them hide behind their ugly self and be miserable and let them create gossips for all they are worth. They will feel relaxed when they create untrue stories.And these deluded beings really thought that they are very well liked. Well, dats women for you.
Me and the husbern enjoyed ourselves with his frens on Saturday. Went to watch a movie(which i have my eyes closed all the way) and than to Safra Club to watch Fiza and Yatie with their respective husbands and families "battling" it out at the bowling alley. Sunday, the whole family was at home to welcome my dear brother from Bangkok. He was there for a week for The King's Cup World Sepak Takraw Championships. More about that in the next post.
Anyway, i am thinking happy thoughts and embracing the fasting month with the clearest of mind. Any hate feelings will not be entertained and please direct it elsewhere. May the holy month brings us guidance and may we faced each day with a calm and clean heart.
"Selamat Berpuasa"
