It was a sudden change of plan. Supposedly, I will be coming to Nijikai today as I had promised Haruhi to do so. Today would be our first-time meeting after months of seeing each other. Unfortunately, Mama held special ceremony for me and my late grandparents. We called it 'kenduri', by the way.
Why we do kenduri, you may ask. It usually comes with prayers or Du'a for certain occasions or purposes. Kenduri arwah or for my late grandparents is done for their easy life in the afterlife, may they be in good place or as many would say be rest in peace.
Kenduri kesyukuran or for gratitude is done to show appreciation to Allah for fulfilling something, in my situation it's the offer to continue degree in accounting at University of Malaya. It can also be done to ask for Allah's mercy on any obstacles in the future as I study there.
You know how hell can break loose in University of Malaya.
As sad and devastated as I was not able to attend Nijikai and see Haruhi, I am actually happy and grateful to Mama and Abah for conducting this kenduri. Throughout the day, I can see just how proud my parents are when they mentioned this 'open house' of sort is actually for me going to enter in University of Malaya too.
Hana was a bit disappointed that none of them has older son- older and worth to match with son. *laughs* enough peeking around, Hana. I was embarrassed by the fact one of Abah's friends who attended the kenduri brought albums back when they worked together in a Japanese company.
She showed Abah the albums and one of them made Abah smiled. He made a gesture to me, sort of calling me to come and see something. When he showed me a picture of me when I was five or so, grumbling and pouting in red dress WITH BOB HAIRCUT, I was unable to utter a word.
I LOOKED HIDEOUS!
No more short haircut for me, just no.
Most of Abah's former colleagues remembered me as the little girl. They were super awed by the fact of how I have grown up and how beautiful I am right now. Sheesh, of course. I wouldn't be caught dead in that sort of disastrous haircut anymore! NU-UH!
I took a selfie with my juniors and another selfie with two little devils who made my day not so boring. Frankly speaking, I don't like kids. I am terrified of making them cry. They cry too sudden! At the same time, I enjoy their companies too. Okay, some of them only. I don't like brats- kids who think they know it all.
From as early as 7:00 am until 10:00 pm, I was busy with the dishes, serving and handling kids. I told Mama that I am going to end my shift and have Abang take over with the cleaning. Abang did manage to sleep in the evening, so he agreed with the 'tag'.
To those who attended Nijikari, hope you guys enjoyed the event. I heard it was a blast and Haruhi said 'sadly you did not go'. Apparently, Haine rolled her eyes out of jealousy since Haruhi posted a picture of her helping her partner putting a necklace on.
Pardon Haine, she's too tired to think things straight.
Thank you also to those who congratulated and Du'a for me. I am thankful that you still manage to make few minutes of your time to remember and pray for me.
Till then!
