Time check; its 6.28am in the early morning of Raya, and i just got back from Geylang not too long ago. Sayang's family sent me and brother home, and im currently waiting for him to give me a ring when he reaches home safely. Im physically tired and my back hurts but im not the slightest bit sleepy, despite the long day i had yesterday.
Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan has passed by smoothly and everyone is welcoming the month of Syawal right now. What marked the end of Ramadhan yesterday got me emotional. It suddenly dawned on me that i dont feel the slightest bit excited, like asthough i dont deserve this beautiful month, and i cried upon thinking of my dearest late great grandmother and friends who have left this world for good. I sat by the balcony, looking at the sky and recited a prayer for each and everyone of them. I hope they're doing well. Sigh~
Well, the eve of Raya was spent touching up the house, then it was off to Tampines at night to accompany Fil to do some last minute shopping. Initially the plan was to find her shoes, with a certain design in mind, but because it was packed with alot of Malays doing their last minute shopping, Fil surrendered and left me choosing a shoe for her. We seeked high and low for her shoes, and finally settled down for Bata. Lame; i know.
The rest of the night was spent sitting by the staircase of some blocks, while we seek shelter from the superrr heavy downpour. We talked and talked without a pause for thoughts. I guess that was the first time Fil has ever expressed herself so deeply before. Despite having known her for almost 14 years, i was quite taken aback at how emotional she got as we spoke of her ex. Surprised; yes, but im only glad she confided in me.
Midnight came; and i was off to meet Sayang and his sister, and my brother to Geylang. We walked around aimlessly, and we were joined by his cousins, who were such crazy and great company. Walked around somemore and bumped into soo many people. Too many to mention. Then we met up with his parents and the rest of his family. I was such a nutcase last night; i didnt know how to react.
It continued to rain heavily again, and despite the heavy downpour, the entire family was still gungho about getting supper. Sayang was being such a sweetie last night. He took out his camo sweater and made me wear, with the hoodie and all, and had me zipped up, while he walked in the rain without any umbrella or any form of head protection. I was so touched, i shed a tear. And throughout the entire night, he never let go of my hand even as we were walking against strong crowds. Im utterly speechless. Sweettt kannn! Heh.
Ouhh, speak of the devil. He has called. Well, im off to converse with him now. To everyone out there, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Dan Batin! Enjoy your celebs. (:
