Raya@Eid@Syawal 2010

"What very mysterious things days were. Sometimes they fly by, and other times they seem to last forever, yet they are all exactly twenty-four hours. There's quite a lot we don't know about them."

This raya certainly relates very close to the phrase above by Melanie Benjamin,author of In Alice I Have Been.Indeed,time flies so fast, that the day is finally here. It felt weird but special nonethelss considering what happened last time around.Some children whom have been forced to wake up for "sahur(early breakfast during Ramadhan)" and rushing to go back to sleep are certainly happy waking up as early as 6am just to celebrate this victory day.Hearing the takbir since the previous night is an awesome feeling for every Muslim.

For me,syawal this year has been nothing short of a memorable experience.Hosted a moderate "open house" for relatives and friends is a lot of fun.It's not the delicious food that matters,it's the feeling of seeing a lot of people that are so close to you happy chatting that counts.

Moments to be cherished
