Stealing as much time as I could!

I have wanted to write again but I supposed time has been envying me and keeping me occupied with other things.

I left Dad’s place three days before Eid. The thing I miss most was praying together with mom, sisters and brothers with my baby brother as the imam. Packing for both Eid and Dublin can be really exhausting; deciding which to be used during the first day of Syawal and keep the rest locked in huge luggages. Thank God it was all done almost perfectly.  With my sister coming along with me back to Dublin, we get to bring 40kg each! Ain’t that awesome? I don’t know how Mom got it but I supposed the agent company was having a summer promo.

The last day of fasting was pretty much challenging. Apparently the men weren’t anywhere to be seen to help out with the loads outside in order to prepare for the big day. So, Mom asked me to help carrying heavy loads, tables, chairs, woods, etc. I happened to be the only girl outside while my sisters, aunts and cousin sisters were all in the kitchen preparing food. I shall say I’m not a fan of the kitchen when everyone is there in a small room. I mean, I hate knocking into each other and having to make the room crowded.  

Anyways, soon after I’ve done carrying heavy loads I thought I might have a couple of hours till breaking fast time. Somehow being at my kampong proves that time passes really slow. Slower than a snail! It was really really challenging and ‘I want 100plus’ became my mantra for the rest of the hours before sunset. *laughs*

Few days after Eid, my sister and I finally flew to Dublin! One awesome incident happened was after our two hours transit in Dubai, I found out that I got myself a seat at the business class section! Apparently, our flight booking wasn’t done together and probably that’s how I ended up being in business class. Hmmm…  Well, I thought of exchanging it with my sister but since the ticket has my name written on it, I can’t.

I have to say, being there in the business class got me sooo awkward. They kept coming to me offering champagne and juices. Food is given like every time! And I couldn’t sleep well because they kept waking me up. Urgh! Yes, it’s more spacious and comfortable but it’s too comfortable and it felt very uneasy for me. I was actually worrying about my sister because from the previous flight we missed our meal and ended up starving till we touchdown on Dubai.

We arrived safely in Dublin and the weather has been rather perfect. For a few days of course! *wink* 

Have a nice holiday and happy getting back to a new semester to all!
