Hari Raya Puasa

I was trying to get pictures of ketupat and rendang from Flickr public database but seems no one would let their picture public for blog publishing. This is only what I got, a picture of ketupat lightings in The Curve, Damansara.

Aidilfitri (or sometime known as Eid-ul-Fitr, Hari Raya, Lebaran etc.) is all about celebrating the victory of Ramadhan, which happens a month before. It should be merry, full of colors, smiles and happiness. But unfortunately when it comes to celebrating Aidilfitri in Malaysia, most of the song I heard are melancholics. Broken hearts. Anak perantau tak dapat balik beraya. Sedih. Duka Nestapa. I always believe Aidilfitri should not be celebrated this way.

But anyway, just have fun folks. Some say Aidilfitri is for kids and not adults any longer (since the kids getting the money, and the working adults giving), but I believe the spirit is still there.

Wishing all my friends Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Maaf Zahir dan Batin, wherever you are, London, Tokyo or anywhere else. Wish you a great celebration of Aidilfitri.

Will be away for a week. See you again after Raya.
