SELAMAT HARI RAYA

It's not too early to wish all of you a Selamat Hari Raya, right?

Well, there is something different about this year's Hari Raya. I cannot believe how time really flies. Last year's Hari Raya is only a distant memory. I celebrated last year's Raya with my brother Kushairi and my mum's friend, Patricia. We all gathered at my cousin's place in Shah Alam. It was like a house warming event because my cousin and her family had just moved into the house. So the family decided to gather at her place.

This year's Raya will be totally different. For one, I am no longer a student. I am a working person now. There really is something different between being a student anda working person. Last year, I had to worry about one final assignment and an exam. This year, I no longer have to worry about any assignments, just the fact that I have to go back to office on Wednesday.

I will also not celebrate Raya with my brother, as he currently is in New York.

I am also adjusting myself to my new working environment. Even as I am writing this post, I still feel unfamiliar with the people and environment. I have been working at my new place for a week and I do hope to call my new working place my "second home." I used to consider my former university my "second home" but the campus is only a part of my past now. I wonder if I can ever consider my working place my "second home."

You can say I might have a transition problem at my new place. But I had that same problem when I entered University. It was only a matter of time before I got accustomed to university life and I am hoping, sooner or later, I will adjust well at the office.

Anyways, for this Hari Raya, I am putting my worries aside as I want to enjoy the celebration with my family and friends. Worrying will only make matters worse, right? Tomorrow is the last day of fasting and Saturday is celebration day. Lots of delicious food, cookies, and cakes.

I want to wish all KEN THE BLOG readers a Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin. Forgive me if I have committed any mistakes. If I have written anything that has offended anyone on my former blog CURIOUSSYAF, forgive me too.

Enjoy.
