the last hurdle

Spring continues to amaze me. Last Friday was the first time in a long time I actually went to work and later walked around town without having to wear a jumper. And it was the first time of my entire working career (my working career at Ali's that is) to see the ceiling fan at Ali's switched on! It was hot! Considering Tassie is usually cold most of the year. I think the last time I saw a ceiling fan working was when I left Malaysia last February. Yes, I have been in a freezer THAT long.

And guess what? After that gloriously warm Friday, we're back in the freezer yet again! It has been chilly most nights, which is not good coz it makes me want to curl up in warmth n sleep! Which of course, I can't afford to be doing considering the mountain of work I have to produce in time for my final submission and presentation. Dang! And it's not that much long to go..

Hari Raya is just round the corner. I can just almost feel the vibes from my home country of the preparations and the last minute running around of Malaysians trying to get everything together for Raya. OH, HOW I MISS ALL THAT! This is, my first time celebrating Hari Raya away from my family. My dad said the other day, after 24 years of celebrating Raya together, I won't be around this year. 24 years?! God, that's long. And God, I'm old! Hahs.. Then he got all emotional and said he gets teary eyed when he hears raya songs and remembers that I'm far away. *Sigh* I miss him a lot too.. and my mum.. n my sis..

But now, I need to focus my attention on work. This is THE last ever hurdle. Insyaallah.. Can't wait.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all.. May each and every one of us be in the blessings of Allah SWT always. Maaf dan ampun dipinta.
