This is how i see my world!

hari raya hari raya hari raya hari raya

aidilfitri adidilfitri aidilfitri aidilfitri

listening to lagu raya makes me thinking about my kampung

i still remember when raya is just aorund the corner

i'll definitely the most busiest person in the family

not the one that doing the masak2

but my existence is more towards the arangement and decorations of the house

i'll gather all my siblings

and divided the tasks for them to be done in certain time

lap tingkap, sapu sampah, susun buku, lap kipas

yeah, basically, doing the cleaning up

me myself will be the person in charge with the vacuum

and mopping the floor.

for the whole house.

rumah depan, rumah tengah, rumah bawah!

penat okehh!

but then, eventhough all of these are done during last week of ramadhan

we were actually enjoying every little bits of the gotong royong

mak will be busy at the kitchen

getting ready with all the rempah ratus

ayah will be the one in charge with the ketupat

he makes the ketupat, and sometimes, if i'm free, i'm gonna be with him

trying to finish all the orders

my sisters will be helping my mom putting in the rice into the ketupat

and make them ready before sending them to those who had ordering them for hari raya

i miss those moment

really missing them

not forgotten

10 days before raya

i'll be busy looking for kayu pelita

went into the forest

and cut all potential trees to be used as kayu pelita

put them all onto my bike

or motorcycle

then bring them back

before placing them all

around the house

about 40 of them

that was very lovely

at night

gonna be busy with friends

playing meriam katak, meriam buluh, mercun, bunga api

and sometimes, we did also play 'police and thief'

with all the neighbours

who had already becoming part of my family

before berbuka,

ill fill the pelita with minyak tanah

placing them in the kereta sorong

before putting them onto the kayu pelita

after berbuka

we are all running around the house

to put the fire on the pelita

and singing lagu 'selamat hari raya'

i miss my family

i miss celebrating raya in my kampung

i miss my adik2

i miss my kawan2

i miss my mom rendang basah

i miss making ketupat pasar with my dad

i miss vacuuming the whole house

i miss incharging the decoration of the house

i miss playing meriam

i miss searching for kayu pelita

and most of all

i miss seeing each and every faces of my sweethearts!

selamat hari raya

maaf zahir batin
