Hari Raya
Unlike usual, my family on my mom's side didn't rent a bus for this special occasion this time round. It had always been a routine on the first day so it felt different. We did gather at nyai's house first then went to two houses as a large group of family before parting ways.
Kind of sad, isn't it? Ah, but it can't be helped. Besides some of the losts, October is an exam period. PSLE & 'O' Levels ... Why is Hari Raya always on exam periods??? It's not fair ... Well I'm not taking any important exams anymore but I've ever experienced ... sacrificing my first day of Hari Raya just so I could study!
Arrived at nenek and atuk's house at around 4.50pm. It was our first time going there that late. Usually we would be there in the morning, after which we would go to nyai's house. Quite a big change, huh?
1st of October is Hari Raya but it's also my dad's birthday. Happy Birthday!!!
