It's 9:00 p.m. and it's the eve or Hari Raya.
I still dunno what to wear tomorrow. It's cool to live in this multi-racial country even though I don't like the hot weather. Hahaha! Though we don't celebrate it, we have our very own way enjoying the festive just like other Muslim friends who celebrate it.
Our Hari Raya tradition is visiting my aunty in Taman Sukma where all the big eaters are ready to sample (katanya...) her fabulous dishes are like Chicken Curry, Ayam Masak Merah, Rendang Daging. Just to name a few of it. Then it will be followed by visits to other houses especially bosses and colleagues houses.
Things were different when I was in Primary School. We would go visiting the whole kampung Muara Tuang and collected duit raya. During that time 50 cents were considered luxury for kids like us. We visited from house to house and sipped glasses of 'aik menet" - small bottled soda, very nice sweet drinks manufactured in Sibu. Nevertheless, the food and cookies served were damn good but who would care that time when you have coins in hands. The money that we collected actually spared to buy 'Ali Baba' keropok where you can get free paper doll that came with nice girly dresses. As for the boys, they will use their duit Raya to 'cabut tiket' or 'main pok' some of them called it - kinda underage gambling, hahahha... You had to pay like 10 cents to pull out the paper and ur prize depends on your ticket number. If you're lucky enough you will get the Grand Prize i.e. a plastic pistol. That's so cool! Hahaahahha...
This is the 2nd Hari Raya without uncle Henry @ Fazley Abdullah. I haven't gone back to Saratok eversince he passed away. It's kinda empty without him. *sad*. Rest in peace uncle. We always love you and you're missed by everyone.
Still, I don't know what to wear for tomorrow.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslim bloggers.
Wahhhh our neighbour is celebrating Hari Raya with new makeover! I mean the gate makeover lah....heheheh. Took this picture when I woke up this morning. :D *kepochi*
