Tomorrow is Hari Raya and so marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. I must admit that this year's Ramadan is truly an enjoyable one. I know there were a lot of anguish in other parts of the world that my fellow Muslims had to endure such as in Arab Saudi, Iraq and Afghanistan but on a personal basis, I had a damn good time. We spent a lot of breaking fast with friends and that sort of heightened the 'enjoyable' status of fasting.
With tomorrow as well, we will then drive up to Bidor, the hometown of Awi to spend the other half of the break with her family. The past four days had just flown and it is true that time flies when you're having fun. As mentioned previously, Awi didn't really like my 'adrenaline rush' when I'm in KL but that is the fact. I'm getting minimal sleep but I'm not groggy or totally energyless. Nevertheless, as a husband I need to be fair, as what is espoused by Islam so it is bye bye KL and hello Bidor for me. I will miss the moments spent with my family. Just for records, here are some of things that we did as a family.
1. Breaking fast together at the Bangsar home on the old Italian long table which had been around in the house almost as long as I have lived.
2. Tadarus (reading Quran) before the breaking of fast.
3. Shopping at MV with my two sisters and their other significant halves.
4. Lepaking in Lucky Garden with my brothers after terawih prayers.
5. Watching Smallville together and discussing about what happened afterwards. (I know it's sad, but it's just what we do)
And many other things but most of all, I just enjoy their company and hopefully, they will also have enjoyed ours.
Tomorrow morning, we will go to the mosque for the Hari Raya prayers, after that we will come back to the house to bersalam-salaman, take photographs and have delicious meal cooked by Mak. Haziq will surely be wearing the new baju melayu that his auntie (Adiknor) has bought for him. They'll be a lot of pictures taken of him and his cousin, Iskandar, you can be sure of that.
Anyway, I've had a superb time and hopefully, there will be many excellent moments such as this in the future.
