Hari Raya
Bunga Api Yang Berbeza
I have been hearing alot of grumbling that as we grow older, Hari Raya loses its original meaning and excitement.
However, at this time and age, I have discovered that Hari Raya has a new meaning for me. Last Thursday, I discovered how great it actually feels to give away packets of money to the young'ens. Like bees, my younger cousins swarmed at my feet, with their eyes glowing with anticipation in adding an additional five bucks into their plastic Batman wallets and Barbie purses. "I'm rich, I'm rich," they chanted. I laughed.
This Hari Raya was also the first time my family, Johorian relatives and I congregated at my Atok Wan's new home. It's a rumah batu with a fancy electric gate which swishes open to allow three cars in. All four rooms in the house also have air-con, and the bathroom boasts hot showers. "Atok Wan also have Astro," my grandma said, as she flipped the cable channels with the remote control. I smiled.
So yeah, Hari Raya is different, but hey, it's still enjoyable by my books. Selamat Hari Raya everyone!

Mudster,
Yes, I think we are working in the same organisation now. I sorta figured it out when you said you're joining oil & gas. In your line of work, only this company is currently hiring, methinks. I think I am only 3-4 floors up. Walk around and you will bump into me. Pretty hard to miss - I am the chubby one with the scruffy look :)
Selamat Hari Raya!
Nak duit raya jugak... ;)
hi Muds! Long time no hear...Selamat Hari Raya n Maaf Zahir Batin to u! n ur Atok Wan's house rocks! btw, nak duit raya jugak! *palms held out open wide*
true. it's not as fun but it can be so rewarding when u realize u have a new role. and it's not only the kids. it's also to grand aunts and uncles and scores of other uncles and aunties that always give you duit raya when u were a kid even though they dont actually make much.
when we were kids, most of us had enjoy receiving. now it's nice to be able to give kan? glad to know u had a good one :) and glad to know things turn out so well for Atok Wan :))
your cousins sound adorable... glad to know you a fantastic raya. :D

Anyway congratulations to him.
