Happy Eid everyone! =D

今日は! Haruhi-desu!

First and foremost, Ubaydah and all of us want to wish you all Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri!

So how's your Eid celebration? Ubaydah's was fun although he is a little tired right now.

First stop: He went to the Eid prayer in Long Beach along with his friends and some other Malaysian families around here.  He also enjoyed the food as well as meeting and talking to the people over there. He had soto, fried noodles, fried bihun, and rendang. That event was organized by MIFNA (Malaysian Islamic Foundation of North America).

Second stop: He went to Uncle Ishak's house (one of the main members of MIFNA) for some ayam masak merah and nasi minyak. He had fun chatting with several people over there.

Third stop: He went to Manja Restaurant (Malaysian Cuisine) in West Hollywood. The restaurant had an open house and all Malaysians and friends were invited. He had lemang, ayam masak merah, fried noodles, daging masak kicap, kuah kacang, and some kuih raya. He had fun over there too! =D

Last stop: Unfortunately, it wasn't all fun and games. He went to work afterward to finish off his lab experiment and some other lab works. He went home at around 8 p.m.


Here are some pictures from today:

This picture was taken near Manja Restaurant in West Hollywood.

This picture was taken in Ubaydah's lab. He's wearing Baju Melayu at work.

Ubaydah's working with full dedication and focus (he told me to write that by the way). XP



I guess that should sum up Ubaydah's day. He's really tired right now from going out and from working.

Hope you enjoyed your Eid! =D

またね~~

Iftar at the Malaysian Consulate General's residence in California.

Hello there~

My name is Konata and I'm going to be in charge of taking and posting pictures from now on in place of Haruhi. Even so, Haruhi may still provide this blog with occasional pictures from time to time.

Today, Ubaydah went to the Malaysian Consulate General's residence in California for iftar or fast breaking. He went there with many of the current Malaysian students from Cal Poly Pomona as well as a few others from USC.

According to Ubaydah, it was really fun because he got to meet and chat with people he hardly ever seen even though he lives near them. He also said that it was a great opportunity for him to socialize and get to know other people.

There were Nasi Ayam (Chicken Rice) as the main course, Mee Goreng (Fried Noodles), Bihun Goreng (Fried Rice Noodles), some kuih-muih (Malaysian traditional delicacies) such as Karipap (Curry Puff) and Buah Melaka, and some fruits such as watermelons and grapes. In short, Ubaydah was full. :)

Here's a picture that was taken from the event (I didn't provide this picture, it was instead tagged by ZArf IEra on Facebook).

Ubaydah was wearing a maroon Baju Melayu (a Malaysian traditional men's costume) and standing at the back.

Overall, it was a good day.

I think I should stop here for now.

Good night~ Sleep tight~ Hopefully I'll see you again soon~

:)

Transfer in Taipei~

Hello everyone! Haruhi's here! How are you all doing?

Ubaydah is currently hanging out at a cafe in an airport in Taipei while waiting for his flight to LA to take off in an hour of so.

Here're some pictures from where he's at right now:

Ubaydah is currently enjoying a cup of Caramel Macchiato in that cute little coffee cup!

See you all later! XD

Visit Malaysia.

今晩は, Makie-desu!

In two days time which is this Saturday, Ubaydah will be going back to the United States. He said that he's really glad that he decided to go on with this trip and hopefully he can stay longer next time. Unfortunately, he didn't get to see several family members and friends due to his busy schedules. Most of his family members and friends are only available during the weekends due to work and stuff and he only has a few weekends to spare. I must say that he did the best that he could to meet everyone even though most meetings were very brief.

A few highlights of his trip include playing midnight futsal, playing cards until 4 am, the trip to Kalumpang Resort, the trip to Kedah, the trip to Pahang, Ramadhan bazaar, attending a friend's wedding, watching Malaysia vs Singapore on TV, and many more.

Today, I'm just going to talk about Ubaydah's trip to Kalumpang Resort. Even though it was raining when Ubaydah and his friends arrived there, the rain eventually stopped and the barbecue began. Apart from the barbecue, they also splashed and swam in the river at the resort.

The river was supposedly very clear but due to the rain and the amount of people there at that time, the river was kinda murky.

They barbecued some chicken wings and hot dogs.

Here's a picture of Ubaydah and his friends who were there at Kalumpang Resort.

There were several butterflies around so Ubaydah took a few pictures of them.


So there you go. The butterflies picture will end my post tonight.

お休みなさい.
