Sorry to My Nieces & Nephews

To all of you out there, your humble aunt would like to express a deep apology for not being able to give you all the green envelope last Raya.

The story starts in 2nd week of Ramadhan, when...

1)My car (even though your Uncle Nik paid for the monthly instalment) has been bumped from behind somewhere in Wangsa Maju.

Even though the damaged was totally claimed from the party that bumped it, but right after collecting it from the workshop, we found out that there were some burnt-out smell came out from the car after been used.

So, upon check-up, we found out that the tyres has been eaten by the rims due to imbalance.

Not to take much risk (even though, again, its only been a year utilisation), Uncle N has changed all the four tyres and has some balancing done, which has used up our Raya money on a day before we went back to kg.

Even a bank cant help for this weekend cheque encashment.

(this left me to blank as where to gorge the duit raya from for you all..)

2)Your self-employed aunt didnt manage to send to tailor for this Raya Baju Kurung, so I ended up buying : my georgeous aka down-to-earth turquoise caftan (no photos), and these lovely maxis for raya, and also for the lil girl who has few pairs too. Still, I missed the real Raya thingy: rantai emas bagan (so kg!), new shoes, new et, etc...(so greedy!)

Basically, all my 'this month' ration has gone on the purchase.

~the maxis (not that telco!)bought

3)I am humbly confess: Uncle N didnt give me extra $$$ for distribution.

All I remembered that was, when I was working he will shout to all his nephews and nieces : "You all, go and get yor angpows from your aunt (me) ". So unfair, isnt it?

Even though I have no right to complain , still I am defending mine.

****But, honestly, I am proud of you all to have such a pride not like other kids who are begging for angpows from the old (er ) like us. No such act was seen last Raya, bravo!
