I would like to wish to all muslim Selamat Hari Raya, this is the time where all the hard effort of fasting is partially paying off the rest and the biggest reward is of course a pahala (merit) from Allah, by meaning partially i mean is having an opportunity to indulge variety of good food and for some (especially kids) getting their yearly duit raya collection rewards from adults. Unlike other festivities celebration, Hari Raya celebration lasted for a month, so there is no need to rush going for visiting (reletives & friends) we have 1 month to do it.
This year my family celebrate Raya with moderation, having to moved in to a new renovated house a week before raya is a very tiring task, the house is still in a full mess even though we tried to make it presentable. well it does look presentable but through the close doors there is full of piling clothes and stuff, we’ll just have to wait untill raya ends and slowly we will pick things up and get it done, but the kids is still the happiest soul on the planet when it come to raya, this is the time when they gets to flaunt their brand new baju (clothes and dress) and collecting duit raya at the same time, when the sun down and night falls fire work is the only thing that run through their minds, this is just a typical Malay tradition for raya celebration.
Before ending this post i would like to seek apologies to anyone whom i have offended and please accept my apologies if i have made any mistakes, maaf zahir dan batin dan selamat menyambut hari raya ini dengan penuh kesyukuran dan kegembiraan.
