Hari Raya

I sat there by my bed with my eyes dancing itself happily towards that beautiful kebaya waiting for my body to wear it as it lays beautifully on the edge of my bed. It's as if the kebaya is calling to me, "wear me now." Of course it does occur to me when the sound of the familiar verse being sung by the Imam of the mosque filling my ears made me feel that the days passed by so rapidly that the feeling of it was just yesterday I restrained myself from doing anything to make my fasting day go to waste land and now it's Raya already. My heart made lots of jumps under my ribcage as butterflies came fluttering into my stomach, the feeling of enthusiasm came storming to my emotions and I'm ready to get redamptions for all of those things I have done to have hurt the two souls that had brought me to life. yes, Mummy&Daddy. Oh yes, Raya is about that, you seek for forgiveness from those people that you have done wrong too and your sins will be erase the minute they actually have forgive you for it, it is also a good thing that you actually prevent yourself from all those things that gets your health infected with its poisonous temptations; smoking for example. It helps you to actually cleanse your lungs for at least half of the day from morning till sunset. And then wouldn't you know it? you're getting used to that idea already so it lessens yourself from smoking and actually save the human beings around you from being the second hand smokers. (;

My feet ran down the stairs right after I had myself scented with Anna Sui's perfume and all dolled up to look like a demure eighteen year old Malay girl who is ready to beraya. Mum and dad gave a little Kaaa-ching right after I seek for forgiveness and kisses their hands. Oh yes, seeking for forgiveness really does have its benefits. Since it is a tradition to go to the mosque for Raya prayers, I went there with my family and get our prayers done then only we headed to my grandparent's place located not faraway from Subang Jaya. Lets just call that place, Shah Alam. :) Not really a kampung isn't it? I know but I have no complaints there. Although there are some down side of it because last time Penang was the place to Raya but my grandparents moved down here so now no beaches anymore or cheap markets at Batu Ferringhi. That is The place to go for all you shopaholics Though if you're all about Originality then don't go there because from Gucci to Prada it's all fake sweetie but hey they do look real.

Ketupat, Rendang, Lemang and tasty Raya cookies were there for my mouth to get a feed on and my little tummy could store. I ate almost every few hours. That's how delicious it is. You taste once you'll never get enough. The day before my mom had a little helper which is her daughter; mainly me. We made rendang together and it tasted superb! I Would actually let you have a taste but its finished by the time it was the second day of raya. Many photographs were taken, Many. Seriously. M-A-N-Y. Family photo shots and many more but I couldn't upload it right now considering my laptop is sulking away with me so it doesn't want to cooperate with my camera's cable, it keeps rejecting it so I might have to do it later on which I have to apologize that for.

A few photos would get your imagination clear up of how My Raya day went. It was so much fun, I can't never ask for other festivities like this One. <3
