It's the 27th day of fasting today. Very soon the month of Syawal 1433H will be welcomed by Muslims all around the globe. Syukur Alhamdulillah. 'Minor' health setbacks were faced by the residents of this household, with the likes of fever, flu, cough, allergy, diarrhoea and extreme grogginess making their presence felt, particularly during mid Ramadan. Hopefully, these last few days will see us in good health.
Last weekend (11/08 and 12/08) saw us hunting for our Hari Raya clothes at Danga City Mall, Giant Suria and Plaza Angsana. Glad to note that we managed to purchase reasonably priced outfits for the 'joyous' occasion. As always, 'repair works' needed to be done, especially for Bijou Boy's Baju Melayu. We normally need to get him 'adult sized' clothes to accommodate his 'plus size' body and then, I will have to 'repair' the sleeves, the hem and the pockets for the baju and also the trouser legs. It's been the same routine every year. Anyway.....
As for the foodstuff, we've only bought the 'dry' ingredients and the 'wet' ones will be bought on this coming Saturday (18/08). Then, the two household 'chefs' will be doing their 'annual thing' all over again, 'whipping up a storm', so to speak. Hahahahaha.....
Our Hari Raya can be dubbed as an 'annual mundane routine', which we've learnt to endure, for reasons best kept under wraps. Guests are few and far between, and visiting other households is also very minimal. At one time, we used to attend the 'Open House' at the palace as well as at Saujana, but not anymore.....Oh, I don't know! Maybe, just maybe, we'll be doing more visiting this time around. It remains to be seen.....we'll be playing it by ear, I reckon. One thing's for sure though, we'll be visiting the final resting places for our dearly departed at Bukit Mahmoodiah, to offer our prayers and doa. Al-Fatihah for all of them.
To one and all "SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI. MAAF ZAHIR BATIN".....
