Festive season, Aidilfitri in particular, so far has been different for me every year. We do have traditions, the prayers in the morning, salam session right after, big brunch, and the relatives we must visit... but at times there will be a few things that will change how my family celebrates it.
There was that one raya my cousin said he'll arrive for lunch from Taiping. We waited and waited, postponed visits to relatives houses... and finally he showed up for dinner.
There was that one raya my sister didn't get any leave, so we packed our bags the day before raya and head to KL instead.
There was that one raya my nephews had exams coming, so we Raya without fireworks so that they could study.
There was that one raya where the relatives that we're supposed to visit to fulfill our yearly quota went to raya in Mecca, so we had very few houses to visit.
There was that one raya my aunt got her first grandchild, so we all pooled at her house to marvel at that little thing.
So this raya, I'm expecting it to be different. I'm also preparing myself in case it gets boring. So I've been hunting for more e-book titles to download into my CSL Blueberry.
Got any suggestions? Tell me!
Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin.
