What does raya mean to you?

And so i turned 31 last week.
and someone still bothers to make me feel special dat day, even though birthdays come every year..every year too soon. so thank u, u.
sometimes we run out of ideas as to what to do to celebrate that special day so that the birthday girl/boy's face will light up with excitement. But I say, its the effort that counts and to be surrounded by loved ones is the only thing that matters.

oh but who am i kidding? throw in a coach/ks/gucci bag, and my eyes will light up even morelah of course!! 31 and so materialistic. tsk tsk...but for some unknown reasons, bags make girls happy and as i turned older, strangely, I'sm even more crazy about bags! how weird.

and the other funny thing is, i like to buy them but most times i would use that one very simple bag over and over again. i have to admit im too lazy to keep changing bags and transferring all my rubbish time and time again makes me oh so tired. so the bags I have are mostly kept nicely in their dustbags, and collecting ..err..dust?

anyway, this year, irfan gave me a lil present too, which according to his daddy, irfan carefully picked himself. So what would a lil boy buy for his mommy, u think?
well, not a bag coz i think his 4 year old lil head just cant for the life of him understand how a bag can actually make ppeople happy!!

instead he bought me something from a toy store. of course. (toys make me happy so toys must make my mommy happy too, no?) Its a model Mini, a red one!!!

Why? Coz once, a red mini past us and i told him, "Irfan, look.I like that car..Can u buy for me when u grow up?" And then from then on, everytime we passed a red mini, he would say," Ibu, look... your favourite car!!!Ok, later I buy for u ok?"

I guess everyone has a dream car and mine is a red Mini. Its small, its not practical, expensive.. but i have always been fond of it. and if I could drive, I would probably be crazily itching for one..lucky cant drive...so i just fantasise and tell my son abt it..
Irfan's dream car is a Golf GTI (largely influenced by alim, of coz) which he claims can go faster than mine anytime.

Anyway, when he gave it to me, all wrapped in a preety pink wrapper, he was more excited than i was. Quick, ibu open it! MUka light up habis, kalah lampu lap lep...and when i was too slow, he helped me rip it open.

So...i ended up with a model Mini, remote control no less...well, its no gucci or lv, but I must say it has to be one of the best gift ever!:)

Ok till later, the house is in a mess and i think its time i move my lazy 31 year old butt and do something worthwhile for a change !:)

yea eleh...tu pun nak malu....
