The 'takbir' has been launched, indicating that Ramadhan is over and the month of Syawal is here. Syawal (also known as the month of Hari Raya Eid-ul-fitri) brings jubilance as Muslims celebrate their victory (metaphorically, the battle against the whims and superficial fancies of the material world). It's a time when we start everything afresh, on a clean slate...with hope that God acknowledges our deeds and prayers.
It was an uber dusty day for me as I cleaned my bedroom. The floor, thick with dust, has all been swept and mopped. Some 'junk memorabilia' have been discarded because I really dont have space. No space for much nostalgia in the house, sadly. However, I have a good memory so...everything has been converted into 'soft copies' and have been kept in my heart and brain.
Ahem ahem.
All right I need to change my bedsheet and pillow cases soon. I also need to eat. I broke fast with a bit of nutella and milk cause the mother hasnt done with cooking.
So, hereby, I wish all my Muslim friends and readers a hearty Selamat Hari Raya minal aidil wal fa izin. Hope it will be a great and joyous affair to all, basking in the love and surrounded by your loved ones. Do forgive me if I had offended for I am only human. Maaf zahir batin, from the bottom of my heart.
Sedia ke garisan..
On your mark...
Get set...
Go ketupat!!
P/S: Hari Raya is not our new year!
P/P/S: I managed to watch INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS after my cleaning mission and before breaking fast. Am still not a Tarantino fan and I am only watching because of a certain William Bradley Pitt :)
