Same festivity diffrent ground

I would like to wish those who are celebrating Raya back home and not forgetting the ones far from home a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Being a Malaysian, we celebrate every festive season that is printed on the calander. and we do make the best out of the season. this year we made Raya happen in Bavaria. Im going to acknoledge Bavaria because the frankfurters are having fun at frankfurt eating with Chef Ismail. *blek!*

Event : Hari Raya
Date : 30th September 2008
Place : Rumah En Tajuddin (regens' Msian Hall), Regensburg

This story tells of Landshutters going to Regensburg on the 29th of September. Pioneers and adventurers alike, we went through the place on our own and it took us 2 hours on feet to our destination. Its not that we were not given bus numbers our what to do. but we just had fun figuring out stuff. and that was how we got to know Regensburg on our own.

*figuring out Regensburg*

That night we had our dinner at Abg Tajuddins house and his wife Kak Ain really cooked well. We had tom yam, asam pedas prawns(if im x mistaken) and satay.. nyam2. not bad for being far from home. the gathering gathered more than 20 of us together, all from different batches so we got to know each other despite of the year gap. Late night, we crash in the regenburgers crib to end the night. well mine ended but the boys continued on with poker till dawn. i got the best place to sleep anyway *grins* thanks!

*the fun of being together*

The morning of raya started with a knock on the door with the boys wearing sampin and songkok. and im not even awake. Sleep early wake up late. hihi. so we all got dressed and the boys headed to the mosque while i went to the shopping complex in my baju kurung. Later, i went to Kak Ains house. We really ate malay raya food. Where else can you find nasi himpit, rendang, lemang, satay, lontong and curry in the middle of Europe. But we got it. Before feasting, we had our photo session. look how outstanding i was. taman bunga.

Now to imagine this next scene is quite .. i dont know how to express it in words. after we left kak Ains house we took a bus back. but we had to change bus at the main bus stop to go back. so we waited and we looked like a living Msian Museum. All clad in songket and songkok, the bus stop was filled full by us. yes we do get the stares and also more smiles. not forgetting interview. almost everyone there asked what we were wearing. so welcome to the colder part of malaysia. we do agree when they say we look great though. the rest became models for baju melayu while i went for baju kurung. im the only girl you see.. hmm..

*Landshutters with the family*

the only rose among the many thorns.. and i got roses! from kind hearted frens that saw how it feels like to be the only eve generation among them. i had to bring the flowers to regensburg from landshut and back. i went with 7 stalks and came back with a pot.. and i really wana extend my heartiest thanks to those involve. they never knew that i loved flowers in the first place. thanks for being so great. ahaks.. ill post the pic of the potted roses after it blooms.

*this was how i travelled*

Its amazing how flowers make people smile. As i held it with me, people passing me smiled when they saw flowers that i held. Its easy to make people happy, just know the simple things in life.
