Hey peeps! It's 3rd day of Raya and here am I. Blogging. pffft. Just got back from my hometown. I seriously hate Taylor's now. We only got 1 week raya break. Meanwhile, most of universities and colleges got 2 weeks raya-break. So sad :( all of my cousins are still at my late grandfather's house. Having fun, eat ketupat rendang, play cards, gossips, shisha until late night. Me? Rushed back home today because i have to post one entry about raya before 12 tonight *screams*
So yeah. How's my Raya? Hurmm, A BLAST. I really had fun. Minus the part i got a high fever a day before Raya. So i missed the "gotong-royong" and cooking part. Actually, i should consider myself lucky. All those works are really tiring. Hahaha. I celebrated my 1st day of Raya at Kuala Lumpur. My dad's hometown is here. So yeah. I woke up around 9am. Obviously, i missed the "Raya prayer" already. As usual :) Took my bath, get ready then off to my grandmother's house. Had my breakfast there. Ohmyyyyy all the ketupat, lemang, rendang daging, rendang ayam, rendang kerang, kuah kacang and Raya cookies. I ate a lot. I mean A LOT. Haha. After "friday prayer", me and my family went back to my mom's hometown "Batang Berjuntai" or now know as "Bestari Jaya". They think the name sounds horny :D I had more fun there because I have lots of cousins around my age. My gang. It great to have the chance to hang out, sleep together, gossip until early in the morning, supper and the best part. HOME-MADE SHISHA!!! Believe it or not, my uncle brought his shisha thingy and let my 6 to 15 year old cousin try it. Well, I don't know whether to say he is cool or bad influence to all of us. HAHA. Ok, enough about how I celebrate my Raya. I can write all night but the story will never end =) Lets get a little bit serious. Ok peeps? :D So, what is Raya or Eid actually? It's a celebration for the Muslims to commemorate Muslims victory and their journey during Ramadhan. You know, after a month fasting. And fasting itself remind us to the less fortunate, poor people who cant afford food and starve. fasting not only about restrain your urges for food but control yourself in so many aspect. Control your anger, lust, temptations and so on. (no, im not that religious but as a Muslim, I should know all of that :) ) So yeah, as noble as the celebration of Eid is, it makes me wonder why we should make a whole fuss about it. Is it necessary to celebrate it joyously? Why can't we instill what we learnt during Ramadhan and be thankful that even after Ramadhan we could still afford food while others, the poor and unlucky people i mean still remain starve. Why waste so much energy, time and especially money to a celebration that was initially intended for Muslims to understand the meaning of sacrifices? GET MY POINT? NO? Am i thinking too much? -.- It just my personal opinion. Im not trying to rebel or what. Yes, I still celebrate raya, had 2 pairs of baju kurung and kebaya this year =) Owh, I should leave you guys with some pictures. More on facebook! Au revoir readers, xoxo <3
