turning back the clock...

Well, this happened a long time ago. Last year actually when Juliana invited some of us to her house for Hari Raya Open House. Pooi Guan, Jun Hong and I met up at CHS. We waited for Chee Mun but found out that we would meet up at the bus stop and she would send us to the LRT station.

We took the LRT to Wangsa Maju. The journey was sooooooooooooooo long. It took us 1 &1/2 hrs. It kept on stopping at the stations for 15+ minutes. What a waste. So called Light Rail System. Anyway, later we encountered another problem, we were supposed to stop at Setiawangsa. So, while waiting, we decided to go into a restaurant near there because the journey made us very hungry.

Soon after, Juliana turned up with her dad and we all went to her house. We reached there and were greeted very warmly into their home. A very comfortable home. Her mom was busy in the kitchen and her sister with the relatives. You could just feel the warmth and welcome by just standing there.

We found out that Lup Yeng had already arrived. But, once he arrived, he went straight into one of the rooms and closed the door behind him. Not eating anything, not drinking anything, not listening to the hosts, isolating himself. Weird... Anyway, we managed to "persuade" him to come out and join us to eat. He said that he didn't know the Open House concept but then, is it right to reject the hospitality of your host.

Anyway, the day was about to end and we needed to go. So, we were sent to the LRT station again and made our way back. We bid our goodbyes to one another and thanked Juliana's family for the invitation to their home during Hari Raya.

Overall, it was an interesting experience. Spending time with classmates during a celebration was something new for me and maybe the rest of us. Those who weren't there really missed the fun we had whether it was waiting in the crowded, slightly smelly LRT or having wonderfully, deliciously cooked food at Juliana's home. An amazing experience. After SPM, I hope that all of us can go out together. Maybe bowling or something, recapture the joy we had. Well, here are some pictures from the trip. Enjoy...
