In Aisyah's words.. "I'm still alive".. which is as much as i can say about this lj. I have had a crazy hectic past few days. Stressing trying to get a paid assignment done. At least the first draft of it is done. My cousin had a bersanding ceremony at his house in Melawati on Saturday.. Friday night i was already at his house.. most of my relatives from johor were already there. Its on occasions like this that i realize what a HUGE family i have..and we just seem to get bigger.. my older cousins are mostly married with kids of their own.. many2 kids. Like one of my cousin so beautifully put it: "Diorang ni xde keje lain ke? Asik mengandung je :p" My aunt had 16 flower girls.. easily 10 of them are my nieces and the rest is from her husband's side of the family.. and that is not counting the boys,babies and those who were not around. The bersanding ceremony itself was fun because its a chance to catch up with family members and of course..camwhore.
On Friday night as well, 5 of my relatives came from Surabaya to stay with us for a week. Between them, they brought along enough food to feed an army. The best part was one of my cousin (50 yr old lady) who packed some kuih for her son. It was supposed to be eaten with kelapa parut and gula melaka. She actually brought KELAPA and the PARUT in her hand carry. Obviously she got stopped by airport security. I can just imagine the expression on the poor man's face when she tried to parut the kelapa first before surrendering it. She's not even a makcik2.. She's a very rich and well dressed lady.. wear tudung..carrying a Guess hand bag..wears make up.. which makes the scene all the more absurd. Thank god her sisters manage to convince her that she can get kelapa parut here :p. Its a scene worth drawn out i think.. *any volunteers?* hehe..
Randomness totally runs in my family. I saw my 5 year old nephew at my cousin's wedding. Last time i saw him was when he came over with his parents and siblings to slept over at my house. all 4 of them stayed in my room. He looked at me and asked: "Siapa nama awak?" and he answered his own question.."Nama awak: yang tidur dengan kita".
I foresee a very2 busy next few weeks.. assignments will be due soon as well. God help me. Ciaoz.
