A Visit To The House Of My Muslim Colleague For The Hari Raya Celebration
You might have noticed that I have not been updating my Blog posts for the past 2 days. Reason being that I was too tired when I reached home after working late on Friday night. Then, on Saturday, I sent my nephew to his tuition at around 10am and then fetched him home in the afternoon.
He was supposed to have another tuition at around 2:30pm but the lesson was cancelled due to his teacher was sick. Frankly speaking, I was glad to know that the lesson was postponed to the week day of next week so that I can spend more time doing my own stuff in the afternoon.
I had an appointment in the evening as my Muslim colleague was having an open house for the Hari Raya celebration on Saturday. She was inviting me to her house from 7pm onwards so I took my dinner first because I was too hungry and didn’t take much food in the afternoon. Then, I drove to my colleague’s house and reached there at around 8pm but I was considered late because other guests were already there since 7pm.
My friend has a very nice and cosy house. I like the decoration and unique furnitures in the house. Her house looks very clean and makes people feel very comfortable. We ate cookies, cakes and some other food that she had prepared for her guests. Her 13-month old daughter is very adorable and active. She had been running about the whole night and playing with her mom’s friends. My friend and I think that the cute little girl might be a “star of tomorrow”. Hmm….we shall see.
All of us just had so much to chat. We talked about our frustrations at work, talked about cars, talked about the weakening global economy, talked about our next gathering and so on. We didn’t bother about the time although it was quite late already. Then, we realised that it was past midnight by the time we left my colleague’s house.
So, I was again feeling very tired when I reached home. Then, I went straight to my bed to take a nap. However, I was just too tired and was sound asleep even without taking my shower 🙂 Needless to say, I didn’t write my Blog post on Saturday after missing out the post on Friday.
