Ramadhan Melabuh Tirai.... Syawal Menjelang

Hari ni, hari jumaat 18/0/2009.....aku masih kerja. Last day kerja sebelum cuti panjang. Seminggu beb. Kena paksa cuti. Office tutup. Pastu cuti kena tolak. Hari ni adalah hari paling malas dan tak produktif sekali. Mood raya. Mood cuti panjang. Balik kampung jumpa sanak saudara. Dah muak dah aku raya kat KL ni. Nak merasa suasana raya kat kampung pulak. Apakan daya..masa tak mengizinkan...walau apa-apapun cuti mesti balik.

Lagi 2 hari nak raya. Mengumuman tengok anak bulan dah buat. Esok Sabtu. Mesti raya hari ahad ni.

Aku mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI. Aku memohon ribuan kemaafan di atas kesalahan yang aku lalukan selama ini terhadap korang secara langsung atau tidak. Aku juga berpesan pada diriku dan korang semua, BERHATI-HATILAH MEMANDU. Semoga kita dilindungi Allah daripada malapetaka ini.

Getting Ready For Big Day

We are now in 2nd 10 of Ramadhan. People are busy getting ready for Eidul Fitri Al Mubaraq. Home decorations is a must - got all ready. Changed unnecessarily. Banks is now offering new notes for duit raya. Malls is busy with mega sales. Parents got all ready the baju raya for their kids. 1 suit is not enough for kids today. How lucky they are.

Some say, last minutes shopping is worthwhile. More power of bargaining. Economic slowdown does not seem like people are careful in spending. What are they worry most is about getting ready for Big Day. How grand Eid Fitri should be. This is unique about Malaysia. There is no other place you can see similar culture like this. Eidul Fitri is celebrated for the whole month of Syawal. Open house here and there.

Time has changed. People change it. The world is there. It is about people who lived in.

My 'baju raya - jumpsuit' when i was 5. It is almost 30 years, but still in good condition. It had been passed to genarations to generations - youngest sister, nephews and ninces when they about that age. Now, it is with me. For my kids, next.

The Spirit Of Ramadhan

Week 1 has passed by, and now week 2 is coming through. Week 3 is waiting whilst Week 4 is on queue. As I remember, my residents - from old folks to young toddlers leave home to mosque or nearby musolla. Azan is calling for Isyak prayer. After solat Isyak, people continue with Solat Tarawikh. I am amazed and thrilled with the people around whom I am not familiar with their faces. New generation of youngsters are hanging around chatting while waiting for calling for prayer. New kids are playing and chasing each other. I ask myself, “I don’t see these faces before? Are they new residents in this kampung?” “Or, I seldom go to the musolla?” “Or, because it is yearly affair, new faces appear?” Which is which? But I have to admit that I seldom go to musola for the past few months and community here is growing in number. The fact that this Holy Month is gathering all community, I agree with the statement. And I pray to Allah that I find and gain all baraqah You shower during this holy month and let the spirit of Ramadhan is always with me for me to be with community (Jama’ah) to solat...Isya-Allah.
