iftar & salam lebaran 2005...
2,3 hari ni bz dgn sisa2 lecture & assignment terakhir... attended the last class on wednesday night & submitted the last assignment yesterday afternoon... lega sket... skrang tunggu finalizekan thesis di mana 2nd sv soh lepak kejap dulu & exams plak will only start a week after eid...
on thursday night seperti yg dijanjikan, attended an iftar organized by my landlord... seronok gak... he also invited his other friends from around the neighbourhood... macam2 background depa tu... ada yg mmg asal dari situ, org2 australia yg masuk Islam & ramai gak perantau2 yg dah dpt PR & citizenship... kitaorg berdua jer tetamu budak skolah selain dari anak2 derang la... menarikla borak2 ngan derang esp. with Kak Nora from kedah & Sister Maneeza Melayu Sri Lanka... lepas satu, satu citer kitaorg dari citer klaka... ke citer sedih... citer pengalaman derang merantau ke australia ni... pendek kata macam2 citer lah! best, rasa cam dah kenal lama jer... ngan derang tu...
Kak Nora married an australian & has been here for almost 20 years... terimpress ngan suami & anak2 dia... jenis omputih alim... her husband has just being elected as the Victorian Islamic Council President... anak2 derang 3 org, semuanya perempuan & cantik2 sgt, lemah lembut, bertudung litup, berjubah... takde rupa Melayu lansung heheh...
Sister Maneeza from Sri Lanka... sekali pandang, muka macam melayu rupanya her ancestors were from Malaysia, err Malaya la kot at that time... her husband worked in Bahrain and they migrated to Australia during the Gulf War...i was really interested to hear her story about the malay community in Sri Lanka... mmg sesetengah bahasa & masakan derang still sama ngan org melayu kat mesia... seronok jer dok compare2 masakan & bahasa ngan dia... hmmm, baru tingat, rasanya i did watched something about these ppl in Majalah 3 several years ago...
ad plak spent the night with the men talking bout more serious issues... pasal terrorist la, pasal keje la & the usual men stuffs la... cam bosan jer nengok heheh... kitaorg yg kat belah pompuan ni cam meriah jer... pot pet2 macam bertih goreng... heheh biasala kan pompuan... kalau bercerita tu, cam sungguh2! citer tak menarik pun boleh jadik menarik heheh...
The food were yummy! First, we had dates & some snacks, then we did the jamaah Maghrib prayers... later on continued our iftar with Sister Soraya's (my landlord's wife) delicious briyani & lovely desserts... hmmm they actually love my caramel pudding too! tak rugi gamble buat & jamu kat org heheh.... & finally we had jamaah tarawikh prayer... Alhamdulillah... we really enjoyed our iftar that night... thanx to Mr & Mrs Syed... it's a pity that we only get to know them now, when we are about to leave...
eh btw, sebelum apa2 ni kitaorg nak ucapkan...
