Hari Raya Bliss

by Pinkelle on October 16, 2007

*Whoosh* It’s back to work again after a luxurious 4 day holiday in conjunction with the Hari Raya holidays. Despite my constant complaining that I was wasting 4 good days of holidays by not going anywhere, I did manage to keep myself rather occupied and this is what I’ve learnt (Hey, everything’s a new learning experience!) over the 4 days!

  • My silly Facebook fluffy pet will only eat terribly expensive things such as pink cupcakes! It thinks pork buns are :( and bananas are vile! It is so not me sans the pink on the cupcake! :P

  • When you watch too many Simpsons DVDs, you start feeling a little stupid! And in my case, start over-analyzing Homer Simpson! Conclusion: He’s really stupid but has a good heart!

  • Pig-out didn’t even begin to describe what I ate over the entire 4 days! From spartan meals such as baked beans with scrambled egg to pork knuckle, keropok, Kin Kin Pan Mee and a sumptuous Korean spread, I so pigged out! *attempts to breathe*

  • This was my first time being in town during a festive season and what they say about playing football on the streets are almost true! So we took the opportunity to visit the Pavilion. Verdict: It’s okay with lots of swanky brands but I didn’t quite like the feel of it and the crowds. We hopped into Starhill after Pavilion and what a marked contrast it was! Starhill was all about dim lights and elegance while Pavilion felt like a marketplace! Given the option of buying a Ferragamo in Pavilion or Starhill…no prizes for guessing which I’ll choose! That is, when my Ferragamo boat comes in! ;)

  • In a pathetic attempt to shave off some calories from that terrible pig-out session, I got into some exercise gear to try to hit the gym. Opened the door and guess what, I couldn’t find my ancient pair of running shoes! It probably got thrown away for being too old :P So no prizes again for guessing what’s tops on the shopping list the next time the sales come around!

  • And finally lots and lots of sleep to make up for all that lost sleep and to deposit more into my sleep bank for long nights ahead! I’m such a party animal *not*!

Hope you had a great break too! I’m looking forward to the next one, Deepavali and Christmas! :D

I think I commented in the wrong post. That is what happens when one is old! :P

You have Facebook? I have invited you. The photos of the pan mee and keropok (?) made me hungry. Can’t get decent keropok here.

PE says: Haha…yes I got your invite! Let’s start a Scrabble game together! :) Yes, it’s keropok. Am sure you can get the non-fried ones in Chinatown? I do recall seeing some the last time I was there.
