Preparation For Hari Raya

Yes, since we are already in the Hari Raya mood let we continue talking about it. For Muslim, especially the Malaysians, Hari Raya is a big day. Thats why if you are celebrating it here, you will be astonished to find that we are celebrating for a month. In Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia to have an open house inviting friends and relatives to enjoy the food and prayers is normal. If you drive through the housing areas you could see tends were built inside the mansion as part of preparation for the open house. But for children they will enjoy getting some angpow from the host. I have done before but not anymore. It is a tiring event unless you have helpers especially to manage the food and kids.

Hey....there are lot more to tell you. There are also preparation for cakes and cookies. As for my family, we never buy any cookies or cakes. Everything we do it ourselves and the taste is amazing. I should thank to my wife for her time and dedication to prepare everything for Hari Raya. Sometimes we only bake cakes and cookies after Raya for our guest. We also have difficulties to manage the cookies because our children will manage themselves by shifting from room to room. By the time Hari Raya arrive, the cookies is already finished.

Secondly is baju raya. Alhamdulillah I have finished my shopping and all of the received 3 pairs of new clothes. One pair of baju melayu is enough for me. Actually hari raya is for kids. Let they enjoy themselves with their grandparents as well. The beauty of hari raya is where everybody visiting each other and seek forgiveness. That is the time to meet old friend and relatives. Dont you think it is wonderful?

Yesterday I have the opportunity to shop at Jalan Tunku Abd Rahman and there were so many people. They were ubiquously everywhere to have a last minute shopping. Never mind to spend once a year.
