Raya Raya Raya!

Yang Safia On Saturday, September 11, 2010
As you all know, this raya is a big change from my usual rayas. This is my first time being away from family and I had to celebrate it alone. It was all good but it was really hard for me to get into festive mode because of my assignments. So it wasn't much of raya (I didn't even hear the takbir because I KNOW I will cry and will be terribly homesick so I spared myself the pain lah) but I made an effort. Despite the ridiculous workload, I threw somewhat a makan2 (not an open house because it was really small and not everyone is invited or anything, just close friends) just to have that raya spirit.

Anna and Ben picked me up today and we went grocery shopping and after that Ben dropped us off at my place. So that we could start cooking DENG DENG and Nasi Impit.

I've never made nasi impit before and the first try was a major failure. I almost gave up on it when Anna asked me how it looked like. I described it to her and she said, "Oh, it's like making cheese huh? Only easier." Then Anna started making nasi impit. Like right then. And I was just standing there, waiting for her orders.

Yeah...the irony.



The chilled nasi impit. SEDAP!!


Fried beef strips. Just half way through the making of deng deng.


It's good to have such an enthusiastic cook!



We started cooking at 11Am and it went on until 6pm. Anna looked amazing in my baju kurung! So cute~! And Tim and Jie Ning who couldn't make it surprised me and Jie Ning got me oranges and chocolates!! Aww, so sweet la!

Big Helpers of the DAY!



Obviously how can I NOT have a picture with my partner in crime, Ms Bock!

Wandi!

Kamil who looks so cute with the new haircut! Finally! :p

My personal favorite. Don't you think it looks like those old couple pictures of your parents if you black and white them? Sze Ying and Kamil!!
We were all shocked of how they looked surprisingly good together!

I'll continue with day 2 of GSR after this. Just wishing y'all a happy raya and maaf zahir dan batin!

Now back to essays. Cheers!

Day 1 of the Great Southern Roadtrip (GSR)

Yang Safia On Monday, September 6, 2010
My road trip over spring break was a success and as usual, I have some pictures to share with you guys! Mind you for those who prefer watching videos, fear not for I have vlogged throughout the trip! Though I will upload the videos on a separate post because it's going to take forever to edit them!! (>_<)

I admit the trip has rendered me poor but it was totally worth it! And while I am stressed over my upcoming assignments that my lecturers are throwing at me, I know I can always sit back and relive those moments I had from the trip. Of course it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for Adeline and Rique who were with me throughout. I know I basically contribute nothing except my solo concert in the car (basically entertainment lah) so kudos to you two!! Especially Rique who took all of these amazing pictures. Seriously I'm going to have to make a special post to express my gratitude towards Rique! He helped so much!!!

Pictures by Rique KS Swee.

Note: These pictures are raw, meaning they have not been photoshopped in any way. Yes, NZ is THAT beautiful.

Our first pit stop of the day was Te Anau but we made a slight detour to Catlins (which I've been there once but was too lazy to blog about it) since Rique needed to witness the pure beauty of Nugget Point. Personally it is my favorite view ever in the South Island.



Caught in action! I was vlogging as I made my way up to the lighthouse. The wind was soooo strong!

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you...The Nugget Point!




Um yeah, candid shot of Adeline and me ber-drama with the crazy wind.



I look so HAPPY! Well, the strong wind totally blew my stress away!




The wind was so strong that my scarf was like raging around me.




Us on the way down, back to the car.




As we get our bums back into the car, Adeline and I pretty much dozed off because of motion sickness and the next thing I knew, we were in Invercargill for a lunch stop. Not for me but for Ms Bock and Mr Swee lah. We decided to relax and eat at the Queen's Park.

The rose garden. It was just the first day of Spring so no roses yet. Too bad. The view would've been amazing.




I did a bit of studying while the other two ate their lunch.









I have this thing against pigeons and ducks. They make me feel like kicking them. Especially this duck, look at it. Don't you think its face is begging to be kicked?

Yes.

Those are my feet.



About 4 hours later (a total 8 hours in the car), we finally reached Te Anau. It was just in time for iftar and we stopped by this lake to witness the sunset and I ate a sandwich there.



After checking in at YHA Backpackers, we went out to find food. Te Anau caught me by surprise because it is pretty much a dead town. And it was only 8pm! Everything is closed except this Italian place which serves overpriced pasta. Personally, I didn't like it. :(

See something special?

I swear to God, you can find Malaysians anywhere. Even in a dead place like Te Anau!


The Restaurant



After dinner, we decided to take a walk around town. Nothing much really because everything is closed by 8pm. And it was so dark! But you can see the stars clearly so we went for star gazing afterwards. My god, I highly recommend you to come to NZ if you want to do some serious star gazing. I can just take out a mat and just lie there. I would if it wasn't so cold!!

We made some serious Chinese jokes with this.


Rique: AIYOO DUN GO THERE! IT'S THE WONG WAY!

Day 2 of GSR coming soon!

Take care people and have a nice Raya!

I've watched this video a couple of times and to this day, it never cease in making me laugh. Enjoy while I try to edit the videos and arrange the pictures of my recent trip.




I soooo agree on the language bit. Haha!

Man, I miss Malaysia. No matter how shitty it gets right now. D:
