Ramadhan has left us again. Kalau panjang umur, semoga kita bertemu lagi. I can hear takbir raya loud and clear here in Johor Bharu. Mercun bunyi kuat! Berdesing telinga. But what's raya without it? :)
How is your family's way of celebrating eid? For me, we will gather at least two days before the big day and the kitchen would be full. Anak-anak dara, abang-abang, adik-adik semua tolong di dapur. On the first of Syawal, the boys will perform their raya prayers. We then have the big breakfast together. Then everyone will get busy for the main event - sesi bermaafan. We seek forgiveness from each other. It's always an emotional morning for everyone. We exchange ang pau after we salaam and ask for forgiveness. After that, we will take photos - hundreds of them. Individual photos, family photos, extended family photos, random photos, etc. Then we will leave the house and 'beraya' (visit) our relatives until evening.
The days after we travel from one place to another, and usually Pontian is the last destination before we return to KL.
Happy eid mubarak everyone. Maaf zahir dan batin andai terkasar bahasa atau terlajak kata. May we continue striving for the better and God bless all of you.
Psst. Too Cold For You?
