habuk.dust.

dat will the title of my entry today. maklom, dah lamer tak update kan.

let me see, so today is 15th day of syawal. exhausted seems underrated a statement. exhilirated seems overrated pulak. the feeling is ok-ok ajer.

a relative claimed this year's syawal was somewhat lukewarm and quiet - tak banyak lampu lap-lip-lap (which i think is un-Islamic and totally unneccessary considering the recent 20% increase electricity tariff).

my opinion is probably those families own or rent cars, buses, lorries to get them around hence, not many are spotted waiting at the bus stops, interchange, roadside.

alhamdulillah, melayu singapura bertambah murah rezeki nampaknyer. usually i spotted groups of teenagers clad in their best baju kurung, samping, songkok and all walking together...some hand in hand....steady couple lah katerkan. ek eh......then di celah celah tu nampak pulak asap berkepul-kepul keluar dari mulut, baik yang boy nyer maupun girl nyer.....naga kot?

just so i will not forget what i did this half raya.......
