SOMEBODY ELSE BIRTHDAY AND A STRANGE BEAR...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 
A celebration in honor for someone in process of growing up...
Another year gone by and hopeful for the next...
A date to celebrate and jubilates with the next of kins...
A recognitions accompanied with a big birthday cake as well showered of presents and gifts...
This is the moment of a lifetime to make a wish and blowing up the candles!

I got the opportunity to participated in one of mum's colleague birthday batch that I acquire to accumulate...
A social event not to be miss to honour their favored prince's anniversary of life...
I like to think and wonder what it feel like being a king for just one day once a year
and surrounded by loving peoples singing you a well-wishing song!

Bring along with my good girl cousin!

Queuing for checking if any armed tools... Naahhh! Just kidding... Waiting in turn of one of the game we participated...

KICK THE BALL! SHOOTING FOR GLORY! REACH FOR THE GOAL!

Waaah!... The balloons! A must in every birthday occasion...

Be amaze by my glowing wristband!

Finally... A sweet and sour dessert for hyper-actives child!
Thank goodness there's no clowns  involved in this ecstatic activities... I participated with some 
of the recreation games against the big boys even so some of them too physical for me but I did my best!


A couple of years gone by... 
This time accompanied with my little brother we experienced yet again
 for another function of  party extravaganza by the same host for the juveniles sensation!

This time it's happened in notable fast-food restaurant for yet another of thrill and fun 
and of course alot of candies and balloons!

I'm thinking should I make contact with the bear or not...

Playing the poison chairs... Got bump-out by the bigger youth than me!
Kid burgers, hotdogs and french fries stimulated us as the appetizers whilst get connected to the crowds
and guests expecting for fun amusements in the next hour...

The party will be incomplete without the main event or a suprise package waiting to deliver...
For the main show it's kind of chubby mammal wearing a special apparel recognized as merry entertainment...
or it's a man in disguise working as performer bringing you excessive joys and a bear hug!

My bro doesn't want any closed-call with untamed bear!
Now... As I said this is a special kind of bear stand out as a mascot for widely known brand...
It had been stood in Malaysia for almost half a century and still going strong and proud...

But something amiss me by it's oddly appearances and exotic behaviour of it silent mode...
Hmmm... Something is beary fishy and strange here...
It can dances and acted stooges while entertaining most of us in quiet and gentle manners...
I tried to observes more... Here it's some of the peculiar footages that I've captured...


Some of the participants getting charms by it persona... 
One thing for sure, It's definitely a ladykiller!


It's getting strange and strange-r... playing the raya song altho the festival has been bypast months 
ago... Oh well, at least everybodies enjoys and dancing to the beat!...

My bro finally has the gut to take a  nice shoot with the mascot... But me?...
Hours of fun and games reach to end as we finally wearied from all the excitements and my little brother 
was about to sleep and so we excuses ourselves for been a pleasures as a guests and went home...

Thank You HARRISH for the invitation and congratulation 
also for your flourishing growth!

This is the day to summon good deeds and formal virtues in our cultures...

But this year is different... We've pair of sacred festivals to rejoices.
The first is EID for muslim after a month of fasting in Holy Ramadhan 
and the second is INDEPENDENCE DAY or MERDEKA DAY on 31st of August.

Dual grand day of rites to embraces and behold.  The beneficial admittedly surpass
any expectations by belief and commitments to conglomerate this prestiges day...

What's MERDEKA RAYA mean to you? to all of us? and to me?...

 should conducted at the mosques all over the country and around the globe. 
Workshipping the God for a better life and judgement for the greatest days onward...

Notice on the background the window's curtains and Sofa of the same color...
Except for my mom of course...

Eid's clothing... A special thread is tailored for this religious festive as for me to don.
It's distinguished as 'Baju Melayu' with 'Songkok' for headgear and 'Samping' for waist 
accessories. A fine clothing of traditional malay's culture of smart and delicate as I do say so myself...

Salam raya... The first day of EID is for Forgiveness. A family gathering  before the lavishly feast.
The reason for this formal's to ask for pardon of any wrongdoing during the past year...
The grasping hands, hugging and kissing to express love and caring toward each others...
For the young this is the  proper manners to shown respects to the parent and elders...

Cookies and traditional delicacies... Lemang, ketupat, nasi impit, rendang, bahulu 
of some exquisite traditional meals we could discover during this noble day... 
Colourful baked cookies marked the household dining table for pleasure sweet tastes...

Remembering the past... Have you ever loss your love one? Or anyone you known? 
A journey to the past memories with salams and doas for the deceased final resting place...
Visiting the cemetery is a good reason to believes the values of life...

Balik Kampung ritual... No matter where we live, how high, or how far we've travel, we're bound
to return back to our root... The place where we've grown, solemn and bred until we've grown
and independent of our own leaving our folk back  at hometown... This is the essentially rational 
reunification by bringing our own family and shown our success of living abroad to our kinsfolk...
Why must you stay in the city staring at the concrete jungle? Go home as your parent's waiting for you...

Road Blocks... 

and traffic jams... 
It's become mutual in recent years we shall encounter this sanction...
Attitudes and awkward driving were the common matter we should wary for...
Thanks to the forces we're taken care and advises of our cautious whilst on the road...

Accidents is unwisely... Why must it happens?... 
Do you know the Earth become smaller in every seconds?
Be patient and tolerance on the road. For all drivers reminder you're not the only one within
the vehicle you drive as you're carrying your family with you and their life depend on you...
Stick this on your bumper 'BIAR LAMBAT ASAL SELAMAT' as a social message...

Some of my Raya gift envelopes that I received from the first day...

Thus the bond develop greater between old and young one firmed together...
Nevertheless Eids's for all kind of ages. Whether large or small sums it's the kindness that matter...

Mercun and bunga api... While you're playing with firecracker or any exploding things, 
remembered those whom has fought for us, sacrificed for our needed, uphold the justice and  freedom.
For 54 years we've thrive and achieved steadily reaching for comfort and better luxuries...
Don't burned that by our own mistake and negligent seeking for some wreck entertainment...

No television day... Television's attraction. Television's an idiot box
stalling you from free leisure outside the world... There'll be no reward to gather,
no practices to serves if we seated on the comfy couch gazing
at the television all night and day... Remember there'll be no profit if you stay at home all day...

our freedom of choices, Our country's landmark and sanction. So please don't be shy,
