headed to grandma's gathered with other cousins from my father's side. as usual as we ever did every single year.
okay, i know i look dumb. wasnt prepared, duh.
hafiz.syafiq.
family
with grandparents
after gg to a few more houses, two or three, we head back home. my cousins from my mum's side were already there. well, not all. it wasnt as merry as last year. wonder why.
evening, eugene gwen deon came over to celebrate w me. four more ppl whom i really hoped to turn up too didnt. well, they must have their reasons?
the three monkeys were shy to come in at first. cause my paternal cousins were there too, they reached quite some time ago too.
finally, they came in. ate the delicacies and LONTONG. a malay dish usually seved during hari raya. they said it was nicer than the other ones they've tried, like in sch before. ooooh (thumbs up)
oh btw, eugene said i was wierd that evening. the others agreed? i wonder why, appearance or attitude?? heck,
after eating, i lent my hari raya clothes to eugene and deon. they looked okay. and i passed gwen my sister's. dang, she was pretty!
we then head down to my void deck and played firecrackers. the others were to busy playing by themselves while i was outcasted, concentrating on my rocket. " its gonna be yet another failure" i told the others, "just like my last year's attempt during latern festival"
i placed it under my void deck and not out in the open where it can fly high. well, its not gonna blast off??
eugene initiated to light up the rocket first, but somehow gwen did so in the end. lame.
and so she did. we waited anxiously and i recorded it down in my phone. we waited and waited and " VROOOF !" it blasted off! astonished looks on our faces. haha " SUCCESS " we said.
sorry the video needs to be rotated, but im not sure how haha just tilt your heads lah. oh oh btw, can hear gwen scream at the end! hoho
we then carried on playing ard with the remaining fireworks. well, i was busy(again) making yet another attempt on a rocket. haha, then, in the midst of constructing my rocket, i spot a chinese man, somewhere not far from us. staring hard at us. it was very suspicious. i told the rest but they didnt seem to care. soon, he took out his handphone and it seemed like he was capturing pictures of us! i wasnt happy, i knew it was something bad. i told the rest and they finally looked to him. they agreed that he was taking picts of us. i kept cursing him(so silent that only the four of us could hear) but kept my cool and not confront him. we figured he gg to lodge a complaint.
soon enough, i heard cars parking behind us. i didnt dare turn. but the others told me that it was the car ive always had phobia off. the one that was white and had a little of blue. it had a siren but wasnt turned on. it was the police! i was so so so terrified i didnt move. i wanted to run but it would only make me a suspicious person. and the police would think we were guilty over something. and so i stayed put. well, i couldnt even budge anyways? seriously, tears were about to roll out when i heard the car door being shut close and faint footsteps that seemed to grow louder gradually. the others tried to calm me down. okay, i was dumb. soon enough they were beside us. three men in blue uniform. i was stuck by now.
they seemed rather friendly though. they asked us about our exams, who lived where, stuffs like that. well, we're kids arent we? he even complimented us on racial harmony, seeing the other three wearing traditional malay costumes on the first day of raya. then they kindly told us to pack up. and next time, if we wanted to do a rocket, do it in the open, where it could fly free. it was rather fun talking to them.
my first experience with the police, shared by eugene gwen deon. haha, and you know what, i think my phobia of police has kinda reduced by now. but still, ive not overcomed it totally yet ! heh,
