I had an awesome Raya with my loved ones even though I had food poisoning on the 2nd day plus a fever and a cold. Believe it or not, it’s the 11th Syawal today, and I still have the cold and Maya too caught it from me. BOOOO.. Nevertheless, I had fun dressing my baby up and collecting duit raya for her :p
~Our 1st Day Eid~
I didn’t take any extra leave for Eid so I had to be back at work on 4th Syawal or September 13th. Here in Malaysia, Eid is a one whole month celebration. Therefore, each weekend is filled with food, love & fun FUN time. From September 13th till the 17th, I worked from 8am till 8pm (except for the 16th since it was Malaysia Day). We were short in staffs and our foreign clients were placing crazy amount of trades (it was more than the usuals), of all the time when were short handed, just GREAT. I get to see just a little bit of Maya after work just before she’s off to la-la land that whole week. I haven’t had any rest since Eid. If I’m not at work, I’m at someone’s home stuffing my belly up :)
This passed Saturday, my sis-in-law had her bertandang ceremony in which it consists of two events and they were all held in one day. And guess what, I was chosen to help do her make up. I was so excited when I was given the task but super nervous whether or not if I can do a good job. I watched uncountable times of makeup tutorials on youtube (thank god for their existent) and studied wedding looks after looks. For the afternoon session I was a tad nervous because 1) I don’t do bridal makeup except on my self (which I did it on my own for my wedding) and 2) I have to impress the bride herself. In the middle of working my magic, Maya was hungry for mommy’s delicious milk, so I had to go for an intermission and feed my baby while the bride had someone else over to do her hair. I was running out of time to have her ready and the whole bridal party which were my MIL, my other SIL, maid-of-honor and MY SELF. Not forgotten MAYA, she was still in her jammies! The bride’s entourage was expected to be at the venue by 1:30pm and guess what I was doing at 1:30pm, yeap, I was busy getting Maya ready.
~Afternoon Session~
~Blessing Ceremony~
We had a good time eating, mingling and I was relieved when I was told that I can work on the bride again at 6pm.
Around 5-ish, the bride called me and she was under a panic attack. The salon that she wanted to do her hair is no longer in business! I recommended her to go to a different salon and she said she doesn’t want to go to the mall because she’s afraid she might bumped into someone there. She asked me if I could do hair. ME??? Me do HAIR??? Errr…. was my answer and I heard my self saying “yeah, I think I can do hair.” What was I thinking? Hahahahaha.. I still chuckle whenever I think about it now. I told her to get some hairspray since I don’t own one. So I rushed over to my MIL, worked my magic for the second time around, and WALLA, I was quite impressed with my self. Never knew I had some talent that still needs some polishing.
~Night Session~
So those were my weekend highlights & not to forget we went to an open house on Sunday and a wedding at night. (O.o)
Yours Truly
