my experience during hari raya aidilfitri ;)

all muslims celebrate hari raya aidilfitri or also known as eid days on 1 syawal every year, me too. this year, i had celebrated that speacial days at Kampung Bumbun,Segamat Johore which is my mother's kampung. before i when there, i had made many preparations such as, i bought a new songkok and baju melayu. new clothes were "sunat" for all muslims. we went to segamat 3 days before the hari raya to make complete preparations so that we will not rush on that day. when i was reached at my kampung, i was very excited to see all my relatives. on the night before hari raya that is also known as "malam raya", my mother was very busy cooking "rendang" and "sambal kacang" while my father lighted up all the "pelita". all my siblings were busy helping my mother cook all the delicous foods for the next day. when i went outside to take a night breathe, i saw all my cousins were enjoying themselves playing the fireworks and firecrackers. then, i heard a "takbir raya" which is from the mosque nearby. the "takbir raya" made me felt very sad because i can't celebrated hari raya with my beloved grandma because she had passed away late last year. on hari raya day, we woke up early in the morning and wear our best clothes before having breakfast together. i and my father when to the mosque together for the aidilfitri prayers. we rested a while before we started our rounds visiting all our relatives at our kampung and nearby towns.



this is some pictures that i take during the hari raya aidilfitri :)
