Hari Raya Aidil Fitri 1430H/2009

I love family gatherings particularly when it is Hari Raya. It was a wonderful Hari Raya this year. Everyone in the family manifested and accepted this fact.

Yes, it was indeed a blast to have everyone, at sight and at smell, gathering at Kak Intan's house at Section 8, Shah Alam, except for Fadhli-Ayu-Amir Haziq and Amira. There wasn't time wasted, as we were too busy chatting with each other, or gleefully teasing each other, or just munching all the food spread that the Ulamaks might stretch vexing it deemed as sinful. Of course, the food was abound and it was a galore as we needed to feed more than 80 people.

There was quite a bit of pandemonium with 80 people, mostly cousins, scrounging around in the small space of 1,400sq feet of Kak Intan's home. These included the little people who are my grandchildren - E-am, Ikram and Kasih Salsabila. The other bigger children were of course anticipative of the green packets that contain duit raya and their faces beamed in happiness everytime they were handed each a packet of the duit raya.

I love family gatherings, as it brought us smiles and happiness. It brought us togetherness. It brought us love and affection. It also brought us food that we enjoyed thoroughly. I amin to that.
