Assalammualaikum.
Selamat Hari Raya!!!I woke up today not to the sound of Pug Jelly's Ransom Letter (alarm) but to the merduest sound.
TAKBIR RAYA. I tot it was my parents up and listening to the radio. But then i realise its from the pondok just across the road. And sooo...that totally jolted me up. I slide open my windows and it was sooooo amazing to see Muslims moving towards that call. I just do not know how to describe the sight but.... this is more than what i had expected for the first day of raya.
Usually, i would have gone to Geylang Serai in the wee hours of the morning just to soak in the raya atmosphere wif all the people rushing for last minute shopping... but well, actually wanted to go wif Syafiq coz he asked me to accompany him but decided i was kinda tired. so yeah.. 12 plus, was in bed..and today, woke up to that of the above.
I cried yesterday to the Takbir Raya also while breaking my fast adding flavour to my already so delicious lontong. :) Maybe it was what my mom has said about appreciating the people you love around you... i.e. my
DAD. and when i was watching this show called Intai Raya with Suzhaire, there was another phrase: Maybe we will not know how important the person is in our life until they are not around anymore. Which is very2 true. I miss my
ATOK. Even though he has been gone for many years, i would think of him every raya. (tearing already). i should stop this mushy stuphs less i wanna go out wif these already sooo swollen eyes. :)
I have cleaned my room to welcome Raya. but well, am gonna turn this box into a sleepin haven for my birthday. :)
To all the people who had mass text me their raya wishes, thank you...
To mai babe, Happy 1 year anniversary...
and To ol the kiddies, Happy Children Day!!!
cheerios...
Maaf Zahir & Batin.
