First Raya with the Ishak's

Lately, i've been wanting to blog about something more ... political. But i've put it off, for the lack of encouragement to do what is right. You do not want to be caught in the controversial Section 114a Act.

But anyway,Raya has been great, and the 1 week i've had going to open houses has manage to balance the 1 month i endured for fasting. I'm back to the not-so-wonderful figure i had Pre-Ramadhan. I can't even fit my sister-in-law's baju kurung (well not surprising really, considering how skinny Alia Ishak is!).

There is of course so much to be grateful for Raya this year especially when it is the first time you are spending it as a wife. And I thought that with 9 other siblings, our Sidek’s raya is havoc enough. I was proven wrong. Having an extended family with multiple cousins can be overwhelming, especially when they are all wacky in their own way.

So yes, I am blessed. And looking forward for spending the other 22 days full of Eid happiness.

It's girl power for Pandelela

I was overwhelmed with extreme joy when our national flag bearer won a medal today. I guess a lot of other Malaysian felt the same thing. 

The first woman to do so, the first non-badminton medal, a great inspiration to all the woman-power out there. This 19 year old ambitious sarawakian has delivered what she promised to do. The beaming look of desire has found its feast, and we were damn proud! 

Honestly I didn't even put any hope of her winning a medal after a bad start in her duet appearances, but sometimes things happen when you least expected it. 

I was very much expecting something to happen today, but it's P day 1. Oh welll. Perhaps I'm gonna pull a pandelela miracle next month! Wish me luck.
