U know eh girl, eversince I left poly, I've not been looking forward when Syawal approaches... I dont mean to sound demeaning but as compared to when we're younger, we get very excited if the calendar states its a week more to Raya.
I'll always tell Ibu my ambition that I'll be saving the duit raya for some new books & she'll just smile about it. I recall once that Ibu bought for me a new set of shoes during Raya... I will model with shoes & kept it safe beside me when I sleep...
I missed that kind of eagerness that all of us use to have... But i guess our time is already over...
How true.. I miss tat too.. I miss the excitement and the "wonderful" feeling i used to get whenever i see the colourful bright "lampu lap lip"... and i miss the exotic smell of cookies baking...
dah 2 tahun i never go to bazaar geylang... this year the one at bugis oso never go... i just go the bazaar at causeway point dah tak tahan panas ni nak gi geylang... leh pengsan tengah jalan...
ahah! i'm one of em! i also dun get that enthusiastic feelin of celebratin n visitin others for the past few years. maybe it's becomin too much of a routine for us all. but i'm glad at least, amongst us, there are those who have found deeper meanin to tis festive occasion.
since we are on the topic of Eid, tis goes out to all my contacts & fellow muslim Multiply-ers...i seek ur forgiveness should i ever did u wrong & bugged u with any unpleasant behaviours . may all of us have a Wonderful Eid (i'm mainly lookin forward to the sumptuous food!!) & be appreciative of each other & lil blessings in Life as we move forward into the month of Syawal, leavin good ol Ramadhan behind...Salam Aidilfitri & Maaf Zahir Batin!

ReplyDeleteAhakz~ empty Geylang may be but Raya would never be complete if Geylang is not visited at least once. =)
