"Hari raya is around the corner!!"

So looks like this is it huh.. 1 more day of fasting (mon is the last day) and muslims around the world will celebrate the joyful Idulfitri or Lebaran or Hari Raya... haha so many names given to that day when we have successfully attain the meaning of fasting and its a symbol of victory for some, if not all.

I share the sentiments of some people who realise that people care so much abt the celebration rather than the journey to it.

Thats why i cringe when i see guys or gals who are ADULTS and FIT but dont seem to care about fasting.

The funny thing is that, some concerned Singaporeans wrote to the newspaper about implementing fines to these culprits if they consume food in front of other muslims. Dont get me wrong. The culprits are the malay people ourselves. Sad huh!

To me, its not necessary to follow the path of how the Malaysian Government handles that issue but i guess in Singapore, its all about awareness and showing to these culprits that they should be ashamed of their acts. Well, i can suggest creative ideas coz i have lots of them in my head but i think its time i want to do something MORE important in today's entry.
Cant wait? me too....

"A dedication to a friend who celebrates Raya in Europe"

in loving memory, Khai (kambing)

We now wanna dedicate this small space for our dear friend here. Stuck in Norway for his SEP or attachment (im not sure which is correct), he wont be celebrating Raya in Singapore. Did i hear some hoorays?? hhaha....Khai kambing is his nickname and he holds the record as the guy who, when he mentions "OK! i can come!" means he wont. And when he said "InsyaAllah (God Willing) means he will come very late. And lastly if u had confirmed to meet him up anytime in the future, u have to set your watch 40 minutes later.

Is he buih (froth) number 2? u guys decide.

A message to him:

"Though u may not celebrate Raya with your family and friends this year, wanna wish u SELAMAT HARI RAYA and hope u stay in good health. We will alwaz miss u (not) and may Lebaran brings a smile to you. I will save some kuih for u but i cant guarantee its safe to eat once u are back home! haha...Take good care and i will dedicate a song "dendang perantau" to our friend here.

Dont cry when u hear takbir in the morning of Lebaran but get ready for the prayers. Just concerned that u cant make it in time. Kidding!"

Oh ya, khai, we will record a video of our guys' Raya and will pass to u to watch. Commentator: ME!

Di hari raya

Terkenang daku kepada si dia

Kampungku indah nun jauh di sana

Ayah serta bondaku

Di tepian mandi

Danauku hijau yang aman damai selalu

Nun di sanalah tempat aku bertemu

Aku dan dia

Apakan daya

Masa tak akan kembali
