Eid Adha day...

"    Eid al-Adha (Arabicعيد الأضحى‎ ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) or "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is an important religious holiday celebrated byMuslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma'il) as an act of obedience toGod, before God intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead.[1] The meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors, and the other third is given to the poor & needy " 
(source wikipedia)


this year is not that special cos well, the fact it only one day off and it quite difficult to do some traveling. 
so i do what i usually on weekends, i went to my sis (its only like one hour from jakarta (without traffic) but u know jakarta its impossible not to be caught on traffic). Its always nice to see my nephew and niece, and the fact that its a family life (something that i always miss recently). 


This morning, i didn't have obligation to pray since i got my period so i still asleep until my niece to my room in the 2nd floor and wake me up and said 'breakfast aunty lia' ..
so i did..
we talk, me, my sis, her  husband, icha (my niece of 4yo- the one who woke me up), eat and talk again..
just like when we were in Bandung, ahh i miss that old days, worry nothing but good grades, never think about lack of money etc... youth is so good sometime..


i miss my mom, i called her, but she was in stress cos she has some difficulty on helping some woman in labour (yeah she' s a midwife, well a retired midwife with a very big ambitions - i never want to be a midwife, i dunno maybe cos i saw how my mom works, and the fact that i always miss her, even when she's around at that time) 
yeah she still got that skill and a hospital to think about


we ate homemade indonesian sate (which is a bit hard actually - still good tho) just before i went to go back to jakarta. it was yummy with a bit of hardness of the meat hehe :-P 


i went 1st to pelangi to buy some bottle water and some snack before i went to my rent room. 
while i get a ride home with cab, the driver talk about image and stuff that going on here, about how we treat people in general, i wont say all but most of them always think about social layers. 
u know u get more respect if u have a good tittle (even tho the earning is not that much), people tend look under to people who is less then them educationally, profession etc. instead of being humble they being snob.
 i dunno i think it sad, indonesia has so many culture to be proud of but in this matter, i definitely said it has to go. everybody, no matter what profession, we just have to appreciate it as long as it never hurt people.
don't u think? 


hm enough about that prejudice.
i wish i got more holiday (haha yeah i know i will want the opposite if i don't have a job :-P human!!!!!).
