driving back for Raya.

When I applied for my Raya leave, I made a silent vow to myself NOT to turn on my laptop during my 1-week Raya leave.

I thought 1 week isn't overestimated. Boy, was I wrong.

It's the 5th day of raya and here I am, writing to you.

And I'm proud to announce that I drove all the way from KL to Penang by myself for the first time!! *pats back* Okay so that by myself part was a lie. My cousin accompanied me in the car, so I wasn't exactly alone..but who cares, I was the one who drove!



I was so nervous leading up to the Friday night when I made my way to my cousin's house in Shah Alam to pick her up and we drove back to Penang that night. Shahrul told me to get Red Bull or Livita (have never touched those in my entire life) cause he was worried I might fell asleep or something.

Pfft he's got so little faith in me.

But nonetheless, I finished half a can of Red Bull and I wasn't sleepy at all! We stopped once at Sungai Perak to fill up the gas tank and that was it cause the traffic at the R&R was horrible. You hear all these horror stories about traffic during Raya season and wondering if these people are just trying to scare you off..well, this is the first time I ever witness it.

But still, managed to reach home at 2 am on Saturday morning, with Mum at the front door waiting for us. Bliss.

Anyway, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI :) I humbly apologize for my wrongdoings; intentionally or not, in person or through this blog.

May you have a wonderful Raya. As for me, I've been avoiding that weight scale my Mum purposely keeps in my wardrobe.
