SELAMAT HARI RAYA – EID MUBARAK

Ramadan going to end soon, well today is the 28th day of the holy month, and the Victorious Day (Hari Raya) expected to be this Sunday. The whole Muslim world will be celebrating Eidul Fith, while in Malays community, most of them will be going back to their hometown to celebrate with their parents and love ones. Visit the relatives and start chatting just to get back what have lost the whole year.

Same goes to me, at night we (My family) will be having diner together will all the siblings, their children and start talking about our daily life, work, kids, and lots more to share since that’s the only gathering day throughout the year. After diner everybody starts doing their own things, well as for me, I’ll be waiting for my school mates to arrive at my parent’s house.

Usually my parent’s house is the port /or point to meet. Most of my schoolmates will be arriving late which is after 10pm, and most of us eager to meet each other since it’s the only gathering activities throughout the year. We still friends although just once in a year, and this activities has been there for the past….emmhhh…..I think when I’m damn young …uhhh..its more than 20 years….GOSSHHH!!!!

As always, our annual gathering ceremony will be held everywhere, either snooker/pool table and will end up to confidential meeting or we called it as KNIGHT OF THE ROUND “CASINO” TABLE, I know that everybody (My schoolmates) looking forward for that round table meeting. That meeting will cover almost every inch of world economy, politics, environment, history, geography, life, religion and etc….almost everything…hehhehe, in the meantime everybody piss-off at each other while looking at who’s winning the Black Jack or Poker Games. After the games, which usually end-up after 6am, we will be together having our teh tarik or roti canai before heading back to our belongings, and will continue chatting next year without fail. Huuh that’s what I called friends babe!...hehhehe.

Well, that enough about my activities during that day, when looking back to my house, emmh….
Dad no longer there, only mum living alone at that house. She’s old and weak, always come to my mind what it’s like getting old and living alone. Growing old meaning more sensitive, want more attention and care. It’s not easy to take care an old women especially a mother, but a mother can take care 10 children without fail to realize it. Live and die, death comes to everybody. When dad’s pass away, mum didn’t have any Hero to protect her. She just needs a person who can listen to her mumblings and obey whatever instruction she’s giving. I know that not even one of her children can replace dad, but everybody is doing whatever best they can to give her better life, security and comfort.

I’m thinking to cook her favorite and also my favorite’s “rendang tok” this Saturday, I’m going to learn from her how cook that dishes and also Kuah Kacang (Peanut Sauce) for the Ketupat (Kiub Rice covered with coconut leaves).

I know time is not on mum’s side, I’m trying my best to fulfill whatever she wants in life before leaving us for good. She is damn healthy and enjoys every second of her life, deep in my heart I know that she is praying to leave the world without “menyusahkan semua orang”. She is the plain type…peace and harmony, she will make sure that she is going without hate or regret only love. Till to date, I feel I’m not doing enough for her, and if she goes now…..meaning I’m the most regret person i.e. doing nothing for her!!! I’m the most scumbag, naughtiest and notorious among all my siblings. The record shows without fail…hehehhe!
Well…Mak just request whatever you want in life, with my spirit, soul and body, I doing the best to fulfill it!

Personal Notes:
Aged factor – Growing Old is a must, complement nature and not against it! I love you Mak!

To all my readers and bloggers friends, SELAMAT HARI RAYA, from the depth of my heart, MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

Jack.
