Selamat Hari Raya!


Yay! It’s Hari Raya again! After 3 successive painfully enjoyfull Rayas in Edinburgh, I finally got a chance to celebrate these festive days (note the s) in Malaysia, and most importantly with my exasperatingly lovely family. Alhamdulillah, despite of our family being consecutively bombarded by deaths, Raya this year is still merrily celebrated with only a few exceptional teary moments. This is actually the first Raya without my late father around. It is a weebit (I miss Edinburgh) difficult especially for me mum. She cried so many times, mostly behind closed doors.

It is less tricky for me emotionally. Maybe I am well prepared for such circumstances by the previous experience of Raya away from my family. Or maybe my point of view about death is a little bit skewed thus making me less poignant than the others. Or maybe I’ve moved on. Afterall it has been 5 months already since my dad passed away.

Physically…well, it is kinda hard in a way. All the daging and ayam need to booked, kuih-kuih need to be sorted, and the dying old blue wira need to be looked after yada yada yada. All these are done by him before this and I all the time take it for granted. Now that he’s gone, my mum is liable and since I’m the only son available on that time, the responsibilities are automatically mine. Not to mention all the cleaning and decorating, which I usually glaringly volunteer myself in.

My home is crowdedly cramped by my mum, 3 giant sized brothers, a sister, 4 in-laws and 11 infuriating, aggravating, maddening, irritating, exasperating, nauseating nieces and nephews. Despite of the negative descriptions, all 21 of us, when together, are the most enjoying thing ever occurred in my life which make the Raya absolute complete.

All in all (I’m getting bored typing this), this Raya will be remembered. Well maybe because it is the first dad-less Raya but mainly because all of us are united once again under one roof, perhaps for the last time.
