Busy?not that busy…
Tomorrow is Hari Raya.. London celebrates it earlier than Malaysia. I still stuck in my room,in my pyjamas posting this.
If in Malaysia(from previous experience), this time must be very very busy.Must be just got bak from Market..helping emak in kitchen..Or go to Summit with Tikah and Afiq to cut/do hair for raya..
Or!!!playing with my 4 nieces and nephews..or trying baju raya.
Emak will be in the kitchen shouting at bangah or Banglong to change the curtain or vacuum the house. Bangah and banglong will be there sitting idle in front of tv, playing play stations. N two of my kakak Ipar, kak zaza n tasya must be busy helping emak n me in kitchen..
My dad as usual, the surveyor.Will stay in his room reading newspaper n play with the grandchildren..
This time i must be very busy messagging my friends wishing Selamat hari Raya.I will chatting with my sisters,,set up the plan. Ein our pretty cousin will usually come over to exchange food for the last berbuka.
Usually for the last puasa, emak will prepare some ketupat n rendang,,n all the good dishes for us..
My house will be completely messed up because we try to tide it up..But usually this turnover will only happened on raya morning, where my mom woke up early to set up the house.. What an iron lady Radin ramlah is..That’s y I love her very much.
My sisters and I will help emak to wash all the dishes after berbuka.Afiq will pujuk my dad to pasang pelita.Cos semua orang malas,,only my dad yang rajin.But he will ask Azim to do it anyway.
This time Azim and Azlan (bangah n banglong) will take the opportunity to wash their cars, plus my dad’s..Cos on raya eve,the Car washer(outside)will usually charge triple.So they will wash the cars themselves.Oh yeh,,we have this small plastic swimming pool, where my nieces and nephews will throw themselves in that pool. N will cry like hell if nak angkat keluar..haha..
Raya eve,there usually many good movies on television.I mean cerita melayu yg baru been played in cinema last two months, tak laku,then they play tat on TV.
But my sisters and I usually takde mase nak tgk cos kitorang will usually go to tailor’s house to demand for baju raya. If tak siap lagi,,then kena tunggu.
I can dictate this activities precisely as we did the same thing for hari raya. For 23 years (at least for me).But I love the strategy in preparing ourselves for hari raya.Eventhough it is more or less the same, IT IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME.YES very special..
I miss my raya eve in Batu Pahat. As long as my family is besides me,,I am more than happy.Perfect.
huhu…this year,I am all alone here.I have to go to class tomorrow morning. Better go to class kot, so that tak sedih sgt. If nak nangis pun,,kena cover cos ada lecturer kat depan. Yes,,found a good intellectual way to cover myself from crying.hehe.
O.k,,will post about my raya celebration ..tomorrow..
To all my friends,,Selamat hari Raya eh!:-).Maaf Zahir dan batin tau
