It came and went.

First day of eid was celebrated moderately. I had a nice time, albeit the monthly visit that prevented me from joining the congreration for the eid prayer. sob sob, but that's ok. I still went to the mosque anyway and just sat in the community hall where I could hear the imam recite the takbir and the prayer. Right after it was done hubby and I quickly left as he had to be at work. We managed to take one picture together (oh thank goodness it turned out well!). After sending hubby to work I hung out with Rins the msian girl here. We were hoping that some other people would come over to visit but huh, no one came till later in the evening. By that time I had to go to class. Too bad. :p

The other day I had three people over for the break of fast. I thought it would be a nice gesture for a couple who just arrived here in town. I suppose they didn't think we needed to be nice to them. They were rude to hubby by changing the time they would meet us (more than once), being late after confirming the last time they would be at home so hubby could pick them up and bring them over to our place, and never said sorry for actually being late. The drive to our place apparently was filled with said new boy dissing hubby's car, the fact that he had to use the GPS system to get around and then even dissing our things and apartment. It wasn't obvious, but he seemed to be one of those people who like knowing that they're better than other people. Hubby was flaming mad and has decided that we will never have the couple over to our place again. I'm quite saddened coz I thought they would be a couple that we could hang out with since we don't have many couple friends here. But it looks like that won't work out. I thought the wife was quite sweet, but if the boys can't get along, then I don't think the friendship is a good idea either. I'm very forgiving see, and you have to be nasty to me many many times before I decide that I don't want to be friends with you anymore. First impressions are very important to hubby though. He sizes you up the first time you meet him and he'll decide whether he likes you or not. He has this knack of reading people very well. He rarely gets hurt, unlike me. How different yet compatible we are.

Anyway, it's back to our daily lives here. Hubby is at work and I'm going around the house catching up with school work and house work. Hopefully we can have a nice eid gathering this weekend. Question though.... do we invite the new couple or not? They'll hear about the gathering coz I'm friends with all their other friends. Ponder...ponder...
