Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin 2009.

Hi guys. I know, its been awhile yeah? well, i havent really had the mood or certain time to rant/express/blog about stuff.

I’m in the middle of packing to head to Labuan tomorrow after morning prayers with my family. So thought I’d take this time to say all my Hari Raya wishes to everyone. Or anything Raya-ish theme related.

I love Hari Raya. I love being with my family and having a laugh. Even right now, i’m like multi-tasking doing packing my clothes, packing kuih raya, packing shoes, helping mum in the kitchen, typing this, makan some of my mums homemade noodles, typing this, chatting with my family and laughing non-stop, then typing this, then watching the football match, sms-ing people, typing this, etc etc etc.

Tomorrow is my nephew’s first experience attending the Aidilfitri morning prayers at the state Mosque. He’s really looking forward to it. I heard him counting the times washing his  hands during ambil air wuduk. Very cute. This year, is the first time that i’m wont be wearing a new Baju Kurung. Cutting my mum some slack for being our tailor ever year since i was born. She’s never got a chance to make more than one baju kurung for herslef ever cause she’s been so dedicated to make our Raya clothes. This year, i let my mum have her chance of  taking her time to make her own baju kurung. Plus, i’m happy with the amount that i have, specially tailored by her.

My dad always made this joke. well, its his yearly Raya joke. “Haih, Rina. I’m so not used to fasting for just 30 days. I’m used to fasting more than 3 or 6 months. Its wierd to have an early Aidilfitri.” He’s sarcastic smile breaks into a laugh. And i laugh along with him. he adds, “Padahal buka puasa pukul 6, muka sudah biru! hahaha!”

I tagged along with my Dad to the pasar dongongon to buy some fresh chicken and vegetables. Its the first time i’ve ever stepped foot in a fish/meat market after 15 years of dreading it. The smell wasnt that bad as i remembered it. I guess i was happy to be home and in the company of my dad. Plus, it was fun to watch my dad converse in Dusun with the sales lady. Awesome. had no idea he could speak Dusun.

I called up my brother  a few hours ago to tell him that tomorrow was gonna be hari raya. My sis in law passed the phone to him. After i told him the news, all he could reply in his groggy sleepy voice was… “Ehmph…ok. I have to work tomorrow. Happy raya…zzzzz”.

I’ve been gettin alot of wishes from all of my dear friends thru sms. Not that i dont want to reply. Not that i dont appreciate the sms. I really do. But i dont like sending mass sms’s to people. So what i’m saying is that, this post will hopefully make up for all the replies of Aidilfitri wishes.

I would like to wish all of my fellow muslim friends and family, a Happy beloved Aidilfitri. Sorry if i did any wrong doings, or offended you in any way, or anything in the negetive area that affected your feelings, emotionally, physically, mentally, all of it. Forgive me. Prolly my brain was not making sense at those times. And, in return, i forgive who-ever stepped on my tail or woke me up at the wrong side of the bed. May you all have a wonderfull celebration, a blessed holiday, and safe trip home. Hopefully i’ll get to see all in KK or in KL. Selamat Hari Raya guys.

Peace.
