Once upon a time,in a place where raya is the most joyous n most celebrated holiday of all..where the song,"Selamat Hari Raya" by Saloma can be heard everywhere..there lived a peculiar guy,there was really nothing wrong with him..he likes playing 'Football Manager 2008', he adores "kurkure"...he's normal on d outside but on d inside he really is the RAYA GRINCH!..he doesnt enjoy raya ..he doesnt get all da big fuss bout raya(totally weird,rite?)anyway,ill go back 2 my story telling now,hehe..Anyway,in a another place,10-hours away from da place mentioned before,there's this girl who longs to be with her family and her friends,she especially miss da sumptious raya delicacies: ketupat,serunding daging and lontong with kuah lodeh..(just writing bout these food is making me drool)..then one night she sits byself and ponder: "Raya this year is kinda depressing,no serunding to eat with ketupat palas..*big sigh*"..she never did tell anyone about that particular thought..she let it pass just like dat..then on sunny wednesday afternoon,the girl checked her mail box and voila! a parcel was waiting for her..on the package, a "this item passed biosecurity act 1980"seal was plastered around it. She says to herself:"biosecurity?""that's weird""there's food in da parcel?"...she immediately retrieved a scissors,cuts thru da seal and the wrapper..She could not stop smiling when she saw the content...(i, the writer, couldnt quite capture precisely how she felt at dat moment but im gonna try k?)..she felt
ecstatic cos she got a lot of interesting stuff,
touched cos these people made an adorable handmade kadraya just for her,
so thankful cos she received a lot of stuff from these generous n wondaful people,
amazed cos The RAYA GRINCH ws da one who sent da parcel
and last but not least,
a wee bit of sadness cos she cant tell da raya grinch,in person,how much da parcel meant to her
...she called da grinch but only talked to him for less than 10 mins due to insufficient balance in da phone card..they got cut off in da middle of da conversation..she did get to thank him but not properly tho..5 mins later,a text message was delivered saying "Im glad dat ure happy"frm,wait for it.... non-other than da grinch himself!and they both lived happily ever after(cs all story ends with da same old corny phrase,hehehe)

moral of da story: a friendship is a bond that goes beyond one's preference or dislike. The Raya Grinch went thru all da trouble to send da package to the girl even when he thinks raya is not ALL THAT..

note: A tupperware full of serunding was one of the content of the package, the girl got exactly
what she wanted.Courtesy of the Raya Grinch

VERY IMPORTANT: the RAYA GRINCH is good looking,image used has no relation wutsoever to him.

Thank you soo much Dear.Only Allah knows how happy uve made me.
