An and I bought the lights to be put up to create the "Hari Raya Aidilfitri" mood. As you can see, the kids are pretty fascinated by it. Soon we had it up and I have to admit, for a couple of amateurs, An and I did a pretty good job. Last year, Fuddin was only about 6 months old so there wasn't really much time to dress the house up but this year we 've repainted some of the walls, will be changing the couch cover, cleaning a lot more (heehee) and who can forget the lights? We've even bought matching "baju kurungs" which will only be revealed on Hari Raya itself.
For now though, we still have 3 weeks of fasting to go. Sometimes, I do marvel at the magic of the month of Ramadan. It is quite unbelievable how I and millions of Muslims around the world can go without any food or drinks for about 14 hours each day for a whole month! Quite amazing isn't it? I'm already training Ayra. She's not allowed to eat or drink anything from 6pm till 7pm and then she breaks her "fast" with us. It makes her feel important and prepares her for what she has to do eventually. Adik also breaks his "fast" with us too. The truth is, i have to give him food to occupy himself while I break my fast, if not, I won't be able to eat in peace.
I am looking forward to Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
