Eid
What is it about the holidays?
This year I’m definitely all out with the preparation for the Eid. I think spending a good one month away from home, did me some good. Upon returning home, I crave everything M’sian and in the process I bought materials for 3 baju kurung (my normal practise is :1 is already too much!), bought too many shoes (I only have 1 pair of shoes now and a pair of croc) (3 pairs for raya uhuh…) and I went back to Kampung (my dad’s side, going to my mom’s side for the actual raya event).
Although the shopping did suprised me (well I guess I did discovered new things about myself through the exchange prog)…agreeing to balik my dad’s kampung is really something I would have not done in previous years. I have always take for granted family’s relation. I went to visit kubur maktok..and I guess that was when I realized how important the trip was (I guess older doesn’t make you wiser..sigh**). Raya is more than kuih and baju raya, it’s more of the time of remembering the old and the past…and cherish the present.
Well, Happy Eid to everyone.
