lemasat rahi yara

1st day
woke up as early as 5.55am. wife's still busy with the preparation. as i head for shower, i heard bak left the room. he's off to subuh somewhere. there goes my plan of seeing him early before meeting my folks. ok, plan B...

after shower, i head to my parents place. the road's as quiet as ever. waited for dad and brother to get ready. seek forgiveness from both mom, dad and also brother. nothing is more sincere than seeking their forgiveness and hugging them tight. then off to the cemetary mosque in lim chu kang. after the aidilfitri prayers, we went to visit graves of our loved ones. ayah cried at atoks. i broke down at mak's.

sent them back and im back home to get ready for jalan raya. kesian wife from the prep, i didnt wake her up till 1pm. when i felt that its a little late, i just have to ask her up to get ready. we unite with my paternal family at mak ngah's place. everyone's there. makan was awesome. seek forgiveness here and there and everywhere's crying. we went back home to fetch bak and busu. this is when bak, busu, wife and myself start to seek forgiveness from each other.

there's some difference between my family's seeking forgiveness from wife's side. wife's side is of the simpler "selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin" whereas my family would go lengthy and think back what we have done wrong and seek forgiveness. which can be quite stressfull yet relieving.

then to nyai busu and nyai nah's place in woodlands. before we crashed nanan's place. la favourito de nanans specials. mmmmmmmmhhh. sedap bodo. we then head to nyai's house in jurong. slogged. tired. lazy. sleepy.

back home with a full stomach and eyes which cant bear to open any bigger.

Day 2
We only woke up at 10.

naah... i dont want to talk about raya. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
