Selamat Hari Raya

Allahu akbar, allahu akbar, allahu akbar walillahilhamd. Selamat Hari Raya! Woke up at 6.25 today. I woke dinie, fifi and irfan and went straight to my room. At first i wanted to continue my sleep but i don't trust myself that i could wake up in time. So i busied myself making lychee drink for the feast today. After shower, and put on my clothes, it was already 7.30. and the prayer was scheduled at 8.30. I thought everyone have woke up. I called Irfan in his room and no one asnwered. Maybe he's in the shower. I called dinie's room. No one answered. Maybe he's in the shower also. At 7.40 i called irfan again. And still, no one answered. Ah.. Ca y est... sudah.. ni mesti tak bangun lagi. I went to dinie's room and i was right. I straight away yelled "hoi! astaghfirullah... dah 7.45 dah ni... nak smayang ke tak?". Then i went to fadhil's room. I heard his alarm clock. I knocked on his door. Nobody answered. Well... maybe he's in the shower. Then i went to ustat's room. He just woke up and the they haven't started cooking the rendang yet. Luckily taufiq was already up, but he was still in his pyjamas.

To make along story short, we left our residence at 8.25. Since we were already late, we decided to go to masjid Amal, the nearest of the 2 mosques. Their takbir was nothing like malaysian. But it was very touching if you think about it. At that same moment, 1500 mosques were praising Allah in the land of France. In almost every corner of the land, people were praising god in the land that's famous for it's romance, wine, and can-can girls. I nearly shed a tear when i thought of that. After the prayer, Me, fifi and irfan went back while taufiq and dinie went to Masjid Nasihah (our qariah).

There was no rest for me when i got back. I need to prepare the kuah kacang, the ketupats need to be cut into small cubes and... i was quite worried about the rendang... though i don't eat it. Everything was ready at 11.30 except for the rendang. So we decided to wait for another 30 minutes. Toh made a chocolate cake (Giovana's recipe). And Brian made an apple pie with cinnamon. We ate and ate until 2. We finished everything or almost finished everything except for the ketupat. We didn't know what to do with it that I called my mom in kampung to ask the recipe for kuah lontong. But it was too complicated and we decided to make another batch of rendang that night.

That night, we ate in dinie's room and fortunately, we managed to finish everything except for the ketupat again. We couldn't do anything about it and there were only 15 cubes left so, dinie threw it away. We watched Kill Bill 2 after that. And i think i just wasted 2 hours of my life watching it. Well... not really actually. ;-)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir dan Batin. Halalkan Makan, Minum dan juga Hutang. Minta Maaf Seandainya Terumpat, Termengutuk dan ada Terkasar Bahasa!
