Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Tuesday, 24th October 2006; Selamatlah sudah ibadat puasa selama sebulan and now it's time to celebrate. This year, the family colour theme is red. Hari Raya is fun with Danial. Ami bought Danial his first baju raya. Azrai managed to get the baju raya of the same colour and pattern as Danial's. We were out window shopping when we saw a songkok for Danial and got it for him. He doesn't like to wear a hat and I was trying to keep him from taking off his songkok while taking our family picture on pagi raya. It's some sort of a tradition that I'm trying to establish; taking family photo on hari raya morning.

We went to fetch Mak and "T" and shoot off to Seputeh as Babah was there to beraya with him. Later, we took Babah's Chairman and balik kampung. Adik arrived shortly after we did and we had a small birthday celebration for him (picture below). For many years, I think Adik was really looking forward for hari raya this year. For one, it falls on his birthday. He made baju raya for himself courtesy of a generous friend and those who knew that his birthday falls on hari raya gave him extra nice birthday presents. Azrai and I bought him a Sony PlayStation 2 and he loved it. He's been very generous with Danial; getting Danial clothes and stuff so we thought we give him something he really wants and he's been hinting on a PS2 for a long time.

Anyway, back to hari raya. Raya is more meaningful with Danial.
