First day of Hari Raya..
I would like to wish all Muslims Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri..
This is the last year that we are celebrating Hari Raya at Pasir Ris.. Next year the venue has changed to Woodlands Dr. 50..
After hubby had performed the solat Aidilfitri, he headed to ta-jie house to collect the hari raya delicacies as they would be late doing to PR.. We left home at about 11 plus am and thought that we might not be the first to reach.. Surprisingly, when we reached there exactly 12noon, nobody had arrived yet and we broke the record of reaching there early...
Since there was no one else, mum suggested why not we started the "minta maaf" session.. So there goes the "teary-weary" drama in the noon of Syawal.. About half an hour later, ta-ge & family reached, and what else they straightaway "makan".. Mum pointed out the dishes that ta-jie cooked and ta-sao asked whether they had already left.. Mum said they haven't come and the dishes was "kirim" to us on our way there..
Soon, one by one the guests came and the house was full.. My very "loud" cousin and family, came dressed in black.. She then had some meeting with me and "didi" regarding his wedding arrangements..
We were shocked to receive a call from my sister in KL.. Apparently my "didi' was not "pleased" by their call.. "Somebody" lah kepo2 gave his number to her.. The phone was passed around among didi, mum, er-ge and myself.. I chatted half-heartedly to her and she started her "drama", saying that she has no other relatives except for us in Singapore.. She said not to forget her..
Hari Raya is meant to be a day of happiness and forgiving but yet somebody "guris" my heart even before she "minta maaf".. Not sure whether she meant it as a joke or I'm the one who is overly sensitive.. She commented that the kain I wore looked like the "curtain".. Of course I can't fight with her type of clothings, but as long as I felt comfortable wearing it, that's most important.. Is she jealous or what?? She would always try to find something to spike or say me..
When you need me, you know where to find me and when you don't, you just don't care or bother.. What kind of attitude is that?? No wonder some people have eyes to see and comments the different in behaviour we both had.. Even at her early stage of marriage, her husband came to see mum personally (without her knowing), and asked mum about the difference in her character and mine..
This Sun and the next weekends, I'll be busy accompanying mum to distribute "didi" wedding invitation cards..
See ya!
Love, Ana
