aidilfitri 2015

every year, my family and I head down to pantai timur

where both of my parents' kampongs are located, to celebrate hari raya ..
this year, we arrived 2 days earlier in kuala terengganu before the arrival of the first day of syawal ..

to be honest, I couldn't wait to celebrate hari raya
because I was so excited to meet my other family members, especially my cousins, uncles, aunties, tok ayah and tok mi after so long we haven't seen each other ..

on the first day of hari raya, I woke up early,
because I was so eager and excited ..
after I finished a bath and performed the dawn prayers (solat subuh),
I was getting ready to wear my new baju melayu, songkok and sampin that ayah & ibu recently bought for me at the wangsa walk mall ..

on the eve of hari raya, nearby mosques echo with muslims reciting the takbir
to praise the Almighty, and also as a sign ending of Ramadan ..
early in the morning, we went to the mosque to pray sunat hari raya wearing our new clothes ..
the rest of the day was spent visiting relatives and received guests and friends who came to our house ..

after fasting for 30 days in Ramadan,
it is time for me to enjoy all kind of delicious food on hari raya ..
there are ketupat, rendang, tapai, cakes, cookies and many more that I like to eat ..

I never thought that this year's raya will be one of the unforgettable ones,
because all of us managed to get together ..
of course our most memorable raya moment would be having everyone in the family
celebrating raya happily together ..

I was very very happy to meet all of my cousins,
we ate together, talked together and laughed together ..
it was so much fun ..

hari raya is a very joyous day for children
especially like me because on this day adults are very generous .. I collected quite large amount of money so called 'duit raya' from my parents and elders ..

terima kasih daun keladi!
till we meet again next year, in shaa Allah ;)
