adha with love :)

a week of adha break. a week of adha celebration.
it's something special in egypt. we celebrate aidiladha more than we celebrate aidilfitri. it's like THE EVENT of the year.
every year's adha means special to me,like during my 1st year, our imarah was reserved for the slaughtering session and the gotong royong potong sayur session was made in my home(and neighbours').during my 2nd year, i was in charge for cleaning the tulang lembu.and that was hell of one experience!coming home with the smell of a cow, rendam baju sehari suntuk pon tak hilang2 bau. the 3rd year, i was in the committee board. kerja extra teruk.like really2 teruk. and this year, i went low profile, i do only the sayur. but what makes this year's adha special is, the wedding of my classmate, zaim and his wife, kak una. barakallahulakuma :)

as pictures speak a thousand words, lets just let the pictures do the talking.

1st day of eid:
have a break, snap a picture.

spending the eid with these 2 troublesom housemates. :p


background: bloody road with hanging lembu. for the memories :)


2nd day of eid:
event: zaim and kak una's solemnization
venue: malaysian hall, cairo.


surprise zaim! we made a boria baju kurung just for your wedding :)



si pengantin was speechless for the surprise (or maybe he was just nervous?)

alhamdulillah. congrats newlyweds!
barakallahulakuma wa baraka alaikuma wajama'a bainakuma filkhair


3rd day or eid: as a pengiring pengantin :)
event: MAWAR( collaboration of adha and all 4 pairs of newlyweds celebrations)
venue: mansoura



with the bride :D

mansoura's dikir barat team: sri mansurah.

last but not least: a video




the reason why i love mansoura :)


will next year's adha as special as the previous years'? i hope so.as it will be my last adha in egypt, insyaAllah. oh tibe2 terharu.

SALAM AIDILADHA, everyone! salam perantauan from us.
semoga pengorbanan kita tahun ini diterima dan diberkati Allah. :)

for the first time

current repeating the songs of: the script.
current favourite song of the script: a lot actually, but this is like the most into the right now mood song. :)



the script- for the first time.

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got in to this mad situation,
Only doing things out frustration,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,

She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess is it gods test,
Someone help us cause we're doing our best,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while ya
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Oooooo
[Repeat]

She's in line at the door
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Trying to make it work but,
Man these times are hard,

But we're gonna start by,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while ya,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

Oooooo
[Repeat]

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying thing we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time

(Ooooo...), yeahh for the first time,
(Ooooo...), oh for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(Just now got the feeling that we're meeting...
For the first time)

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby



ps: salam adha everyone!photos n stories up next! :D
