~Oh... Raya..~

these pictures are taken during Eid and this is my family =)

Eid ul-Fitr.. Everyone is waiting for that moment. Not just the children but also adults. Its been celebrate by all Muslims all around the world. Its a sign of celebration after fasting for a month. Its also a day that most people are encouraged to forgive. However, different countries celebrate it in different ways depends on the cultures.
In Malaysia, the celebration is kinda different. People are eager to buy new clothes to wear on the first day of Syawal. Its fun to watch the children wearing new and colorful clothes. Then people will be busy to go with the tradition of 'balik kampung'. Basically, those people that working far from hometown will be back for the celebration. Its like a time for family gathering. So, its also a time to visit the relatives and friends that long time didn't met. As for children, they all will be looking for 'duit raya'. Its like a contest among them to see who get lots of 'duit raya'. But its fun, coz this is the time to teach them to start saving or value each cent they get.
During my childhood, its kinda fun becoz I have kinda crazy brothers that teach me play lots of things. Usually at night, we will play the small fireworks and we even compete with neighbors. See who have a better fireworks. On the first day, we will wear our new clothes and will go visit neighbor just to get 'duit raya'. The house that give quite a lot money will be mark as the house we should be given priority in our house list next year while the house that give the least money will be blacklist from our list..haha..It is funny but as for children, 'duit raya' is our biggest priority! hehe..

fancy picture can't hide the value inside..haha

This year is kinda different for me. First, I'm not a kid that waiting for 'duit raya'( even though i got quite a lot from my family..hehe) and I also afraid that the kids will ask it from me. haha. Its also kinda crazy for me coz i didn't prepared much. Just have 2 'baju kurung' that I bought the fabric long time ago. No new jeans like always or new shirts. But its already more than enough for me( coz im not a big favor of baju kurung). Basically, 'raya' for us is just for gathering coz even we are in the same house, fighting a lot doesn't help to be closer.

we are the daughters in the family =)
