... raya nights n its woes ...
assalamualaikum, alright, so i get the message. raya is a very happening time of the year for us bruneians. open houses, families visiting from afar n near, friends coming over as well, tapak kudas n cheese cakes galore, sweet carbonated drinks, daging rendangs, ayam kurmas... the list goes on endlessly a long as our gluttonous guts can handle the fat n cholesterol infested foods... (not that i have anything against it, hehehe). but the issue that manages to irk me the most... fire crackers. GAWD... its kinda funny though. i dont really play around with it much but i got a few chances during my childhood days to to pop some of it. the farthest i went to poppin em is one of those that they call 'badil kalaplawa' (color flower fire crackers) we's make holes in the ground n stuf it inside, light it up n BBBOOOOM! ... the holes become bigger like a crater (a mini crater in this case)... fire in the hole! heheheh... so fast forward to the present. here i am all grown up. hari ra
