Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin

Alhamdulilah, its Hari Raya again. Its all good, in the morning, we went for Sunat Hari Raya at Sengkurong Masjid. Reached the Masjid at around 7.00 am but the Masjid was already packed with people. We parked the car a bit far and alhamdulilah although there were so many people already we did manage to get a good spot at the Masjid. There were not so many women but men were overflowed and they even overtook the women's area, which was ok since there were less women did the praying anyway.

Next we went to Lambak and greeted our family overthere, took photos and sought forgiveness from everyone. The mood was really joyous although Hj Madi was not there since he was working. We ate breakfast or was it lunch? It was really heavy, so no its not breakfast! Thats my mom tradition to prepare all the good food for us to feast on. Ayang was happy to be there as always and we did have a good time. Then off we went to KB to visit the inlaws. Another meal and i was really worried i would gained back the weight that i lost during Ramadan. Its not easy to lose weight especially at my age and even if i lost 1 kg that was really an achievement! Anyway after the meal we went to the cemetery to visit my husband's late mom who passed away in 2005. We read AlFatihah and poured the Air Asah-Asahan on the grave. It was really sombre. There were lots of people there too. Its good that we remembered those who are not with us any longer. Kind of remind us our time will come too someday.

We continued visiting in the early evening although it rained quite heavily. Alhamdulilah, basically we had covered all the "Mandatory" houses so to speak. We were yet to visit my brothers houses but we'll have to do that some other time since hubby wont be around for the next few days....
