Aidilfitri 08

hari raya aidilfitri will always be me fav holiday ever!
its my most awaited holiday season of the year, no matter how long or how short the holiday span is
u bet i'm gonna be excited/nervous/ecstatic/high throughout the ramadhan month preceding it as well as the whole Syawal =D

well, this year's Raya didnt start as well as it hoped. actually, it started in the worst possible way imaginable.
family feuds folks, u dont need me to elaborate


despite the horrible start to the holiday, i had a pretty damn good Raya! =)

Raya is the time for forgiveness, family, friends, food and foney(money la)

nuff said, this post is long overdue anyway. so lets get to the pictures! =D

with less than 10 days before the 1st of Syawal

i'm already in full-force raya mode!
huhu

i can already feel/smell/taste/hear/see it all, the tearing sounds of the raya packets, the teardrops that flood the floor when we're asking for forgiveness from one another, the rush to the surau to perform the aidilfitri prayers, the hot smell of new baju rayas being ironed, the flashes of cameras when taking pictures, the freakingly cold aidilfitri shower, the sound of raya songs being played in the background, the 1st breakfast in 30 days, the smile on everyone's faces when receiving their 'duit raya', the waiting line for the 3 toilets for 50+ people at the kampung, the nervous and excited wait on the aidilfitri eve, the chaos and confusion of the raya morning, the smell of rendang daging being cooked in the massive woks, the folding of leaves to make a ketupat, the shaking of hands and the sharing of hugs. owhh and let's not forget the the smell of fresh cash hot off the bank oven! =D


how can u not love raya?
