Eid Fitri 2009

Ramadhan telah pun berlalu...sedih juga, I really miss the barakah atmosphere, betapa penuhnya masjid2 & surau2, betapa bersatunya umat Islam ketika itu..miss juga tgk pasar ramadhan yang sentiasa 'happening' walaupun H1N1 masih aktif. Setelah Ramadhan berakhir kini tibalah Syawal pada hari Sabtu ( 20hb Sept 2009).

Tahun ini, kami beraya hari pertama Eid Fitri di rumah ibubapa aku di Damansara Utama. Alhamdullilah semua adik-beradik ada berkumpul di pagi raya tersebut. Semuanya gembira belaka, ye lah kan hari raya..syukur nikmatNya. Aku terpaksa menahan godaan juadah Hari Raya terutamanya ketupat & rendang!!! baru je dua minggu lepas Doktor aku dah warning, I must lose some weight and eat moderately + exercise!!!. Berat juga godaan juadah raya! mana boleh tahan beb! aku makan jugalah tapi dengan kuantiti yang sedikit.

Pagi Raya ke-2, kami bertolak dari rumah kami di Kajang dalam pukul 8:30pagi ke kampung kakak ipar aku di Bachok Kelantan. Kami melalui Karak-Lebuh Raya Pantai Timur-Cherating-Kemaman-Kerteh-Marang-Kuala Terengganu. Mulanya plan nak stay kat Hotel Permai Inn ataupun Sumai Hotel di KT, tapi disebabkan jem teruk sangat setibanya di Marang, kami pun terjah jer hotel mana yang terjumpa!. Akhirnya bermalam di Hotel Seri Malaysia Marang.

MasyaAllah, teruknya keadaan hotel tu!! so dusty..so dirty..worst of all, toilet pun tersumbat!! aku siap minta tukar bilik sampai tiga kali..I shall never set my foot in that hotel again!. Seriously the management needs to revamp the whole area..semua dah shabby jer..

The next day ( third day Raya) kami bertolak dari Marang melalui Jalan Pantai - Kampung Raja-Tok Bali-Malawi-Besut-Bachok. The journey almost like 3 hours plus. I enjoyed very much the long journey balik kampung...beautiful sceneries...the waving coconut trees..the clean white beaches along KT..the rural areas..the malay kampungs...ahhhh so nice...so peaceful..wished I could have like a month holiday!!!

Of course during Eid Fitri..the kids have all the fun in the world..they're up and playing with their cousins all day..all night..playing fire crackers..flying kites..and all the games they could think of. As for us, the grown ups, we are off shopping till we our last single ringgit!!! ( hehe just kidding), of course we did go kind of overboard on shopping, anyway its only once a year you get to balik kampung..so what the heck, just a little slip up once a year, won't hurt me much..I'll get over it.

The other thing that is nice in Kelantan is their food!!! we really belasah those ayam perciks..Mee Kg Pek..Nasi Sumatera..and many many more!!! Kelantan food fest galore!!! all throughout Syawal.

After spending about three days in Kelantan, finally its time to head home, we travelled back to KL on friday morning..spent the night at Suria Cherating ( this is a really good hotel!!) We brought a lots of keropok kering & lekor at Cherating & Tok Bali on our way back. The next day we're off to KL. reached KL about 2 hours..no jam great!!!.


Yup..Ramadhan & Syawal are the two most favourite months in my calendar, definately!!!Semoga Allah panjang umurku & keluargaku untuk menikmati Ramadhan & Syawal yang seterusnya...Amin.
