While I’m updating this blog/ writing this topic I’m actually satisfied with my Eid Mubarak celebration. Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Yes, I am happy with what I have gone through this holiday. For me, when it come to “Hari Raya” I defined it as,

 

-       I manage to get off day and rest day, included Public Holiday, also I should apply more annual leave for “hari raya”. Everything will be a disaster if I do not get any off day, or worst I have to work on “hari  raya”.

       Thus, this is the most critical part. “Hari Raya = Holiday = Off  Day”

 

-      I want to be with my family, more or less my nucleus family ( my dad, my mom, my little bro) on the 1^st Syawal. If I’m not with them, im definitely not happy.

 

-      My family and I, will travel for at least 7 hours to my parent’s hometown.. “Balik Kampung” is a must!  When there is celebration for  “Hari Raya”, we must going back. If not, there is a meaningless “Hari  Raya”.

 

-      I must have several “baju raya” included “baju kurung” that I can wear it on the 1^st Syawal. If there is no “baju raya”, thus there is no “raya” for me!

 

-      I will go to mosque, to do some prayer.( Solat Sunat Aidilfitri) together with my family. I’ll go to the nearest mosque. If I’m period, I’m staying at home, be a kitchen helper.

 

-      Sit at the living room or my parents bedroom ( or wherever ), prepare to forgiveness from  my parents, admit all mistake that I ever did before, say sorry for everything. And great! My parents still gave “duit raya” to me, until now!

 

-      Then, starts meeting other relative, seek forgiveness from them. ( grandparents, uncle, auntie and bla bla bla). At the moment I may get more duit raya from them. Also, I help my parents spread away their envelopes ( fill in with duit raya). I’m looking forward for this moment every “ hari raya”.

 

-      I will go to grave. Reciting a prayer to the dead people. My relative, my family. Wishing a peaceful life to them. Another Life. “Alam Bazarkh”. This is the time that I will recall the memories that I had spend with them, get a lesson that everyone in this world will dies, only the time matters.

 

-      I’ll visit my other relatives. Say “hello” to them, cit cat a bit, have some updates about our own life, family, share a latest story about another relative and spends our time together, and promise that we will meeting each other again soon!

 

-      I’ll go to my friend’s open house, spend some time with them, since we are not meeting each other for long time (because of the hard work, too focus on personal life), thus, this will be a great opportunity to get some updates about them.

      ( I miss my friends a lot)

 

 

Yeah, that’s what I defined my “hari raya” and my “hari raya” will be unusual, different, boring, meaningless without all those thing.

Yes, at least for this year I managed to get everything that I want, everything that I defined my “hari raya” would be. And I am happy for it.
