My Experience during "Hari Raya"

It was a bright and colourful first syawal, i woke up and went for a bath in an instance before getting myself done. I wear my new baju kurung and dressed up nicely with my brand new ariani shawl. Then i went to check up after my siblings, all of them has done and is ready to begin our first raya. We went downstairs and greet our parent, kissing their hands, cheeks and forehead asking for forvigeness for all of our wrongdoings. The best part is, we received our duit raya equally. Then, we went to the kitchen to have a breakfast. Mom has cook a lot of delicant dishes such as lemang, ketupat, rendang, soto and lotong. It was the best breakfast ever as all of my favourite food was there. Then, we prepared ourselves for solat sunat hari raya at the mosque. After that, we went back home to have some rest. After about an hour, we get ourselves ready and get into the car. We are going to visit our reltives in malacca. About 5 hours of journey, we finally arrived. Our presence was celebrated joyfully by them, i greeted every single one of my relatives including the younger one. We had a lot of chit chat and some fun times together, it was really fun. Then, we went to visit our neighbours, it is nice to meet your old friend after a long time not meeting them. Just around 4pm, my dad decided to go home so that we won't arrive late. We bid them goodbye and as usual, we do received a lot of duit raya especially me, despite of my age. Finally, we arrived our home after 6 hours of journey. I sighed gratefully, the traffic was no joke, we were stucked for about an hour. Luckily, we had some foods packed by our relatives before we went back home, its not quite bad. We went to take a shower and cleaned ourselves up. At that night, the whole family gathered in front of the tv to watch a movie together. Then, we watched *scary movie*. Everyone burst into laugh every fifteen minutes, it was a good movie. After that, we had a small dinner. Then, everyone bid each other goodnight before going upstairs to sleep. I was the last one to go to sleep as i was helping my mom to do the dishes. Then, i went onto my bed. I had a flashback about what has happened today and burst into a small laugh. The moments i had with my cousins and nephew, watching all the photos we had captured in the gallery, its clearly seen in their faces, everyone were having their good time. Finally, i hope the next year syawal will be this good, or even better.
