Not so Raya Fever

Hari Raya (not-so) fever 
 

The usual common Raya words or quotes that I come across led to one thing – “It has been a quiet Raya”. Sometimes pictures don’t paint the whole story especially when I’m browsing through my instagram feeds. Perhaps it’s my generations of friends that are experiencing the same fate as I am. To be honest, I haven’t been celebrating Hari Raya. I have gave up on my 1st day Hari Raya ritual visits which have been customary for the past 30 plus years (ok, I’m that young :p).

This feeling of “Slow Raya” have been ongoing for the past few years. I have no theories to why this is so but at least the spirit is still there. This year alone, I only paid a visit to 7 houses in the past three days. The first day of Raya I opted to spend some “me” time and I really enjoyed that day itself. I could just drive here and there with ease and I spend some good time at the beach on Raya morning.

I can’t wait to join my family for Hari Raya in Singapore next week. It has been a while since I flew off. Two months to be exact. So it’s one of those periods where I will be outstation once again 😀

For those who wants to share your Hari Raya pictures here, you can email at ranoadidas(a)gmail.com and I can share them here 😀 Once again, Selamat Hari Raya and do drive safe and do eat proportionately.

 


Kinda of a small family reunion with my siblings at Azirah’s home. Love you guys and too bad I couldn’t catch up with the rest on that day since I left earlier. Great company and great food.
 


Thanks Kamila for the invitation and love the architecture of your cozy home. Catch up soon 😀
 


The Ajamain brothers. I’m craving for the nasi lemak *haha* Learnt some new things about what my Smart TV can do now 😀
 


We are almost colour coordinated. It’s always a ritual to pay the Abas a visit. This began all the way the 2001 and still going strong. Idham was one of my old time buddies where we would waste our precious time playing Pro Evo and Winning Eleven on every free time *lol* Those were the days.
 


A new place I visited for Raya at the Selamat’s. Apparently their home is just like 3 minutes from mine. Thank you Ewa for the invitation and you have friendly parents.
 


It was quite rare that I paid a visit during the day at the Jaafars and it happened yesterday. It was a great catch up session but sadly AJ68 wasn’t present as he was on duty.
 


Now the interesting part about my visit to the Jaafars was this particular Chili sauce. Apparently this is the 10th most spiciest Chili in the world and hence named Da’ Bomb. My friend who could tolerate spicy stuff had trouble dealing with Da’Bomb spiciness and she only took a tiny drop. She had to put ice cubes in her mouth to sooth the spiciness which spread to her tongue, gums, throat and lips. Yes, just from a tiny lil drop. That’s all it takes.
 


Love the cookies and as always the rendang 😀 Thank Fana for hosting once again and allowing me to charge my Mac Air there too *haha* Thanks also for donating some blood to JPMC.
 


Do help spread the word, peeps!! A relative of mine is in need of A+ blood.
 


Some of the people who donated their blood recently and thank you so much for saving lives and your contribution. The family members are truly appreciative of your kindness.
 


I have been receiving many Raya gifts and one surprising gesture was from Hui Chiet. Thank you so much for the chocolates.
 


What an awesome latte!! This was how I spent my 1st Raya night – chilling at Soffian’s crib and enjoying the coffee he made for me.
 


My first movie night at Cove Cinema (Soffian’s crib) and I finally managed to catch Rush. This is such an awesome movie from start to finish. Definitely gave me some adrenalin rush. Superb portrayal and acting. Verdict: 8/10
 


I spent my Hari Raya morning by the beach and it was such a perfect weather. How I wish every morning would be this cooling.
 


A great catching up bonding session with my bestie that morning. I’m also impressed that they managed to clean the Meragang beach too.
 


The best thing about Hari Raya is having good parking spaces especially at popular places such as Times Square area. I caught Dawn of the Planets of the Apes for the second time at Times Cineplex on the First Raya afternoon. There was a pretty decent crowd too.
 


One great thing about Hari Raya is the emptiness of the atrium at The Mall, Gadong. Nice Mickey Mouse :p
 


This was taken a day before Hari Raya. Leonard and Jackie were at the site where the tree fell due to strong winds and it disrupted the electricity cables around their neighborhood.
 


Good thing the Bomba was to the rescue and they managed to clear the tree after the incident.

DPMM FC chairman lifts trophy

Crown Prince lifts trophy 

 


His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at Prime Minister’s Office and DPMM FC chairman during the doa blessing on the handover of the trophy

His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Crown Prince and Senior Minister at Prime Minister’s Office and DPMM FC chairman, was happy with DPMM FC’s progress so far this season. The Crown Prince showed his satisfaction over DPMM FC’s recent triumph during the Singapore League Cup where the club won its third Cup last week (after winning in 2009 and 2012).

The handover presentation took place last Monday as the Crown Prince received the trophy from DPMM FC vice-chairman YAM Pg Maharaja Setia Laila Diraja Sahibul Irshad Pg Anak Haji Abdul Rahim Pg Indera Mahkota Pg Anak (Dr) Kemaludin Al-Haj, DPMM FC head coach Steve Kean and DPMM FC manager Ali Momin.

All present during the handover was the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports and representatives from NFABD and also the sponsors of DPMM FC club and the management and players of DPMM FC at the Jerudong Mini Stadium.

Steve Kean aims at completing all three cups (Singapore League Cup, Singapore League and the Singapore Cup). For your info, Singapore League leaders DPMM FC are also in the semi-finals of the Singapore Cup.

DPMM FC will be taking on Hougang United FC this Sunday at 8pm at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium. Let’s hope of them to extend their lead at the S•League. The visitors have proven to be a hard team to beat and unpredictable as well.
