Eid Reflections

The Eid weekend's over and it was celebrated with a different routine this year. From the preps to the home visits. The preps for Eid went exceptionally light for me as the hubby was pretty "siao on" & did most of the chores that I was usually entrusted with. I'm very thankful for tt as I have been feelin pretty lethargic & crampy for the last few days of Ramadhan. Mak also took leave from work durin the last week of Ramadhan so it was an in-laws tag team for housework while i was pretty much spared to go to work without takin leave until the eve of Eid. I didn't feel the festive mood until tt very eve.

This Eid, I realise how important the role of my mum in my life all tis while. I reflected upon those who are stayin on their own & all the works they have to shoulder themselves thru Ramadhan preparin iftar & sahur & realised I am indeed so lucky to still have her ard. Sometimes I skip the laundry, the cookin & whatever else that demands of me in the house, she is there to help me out & push me to do them.

Mum-in-law faced a new challenge tis year as her only daughter is now in the US to study & her other children are all doing shift work. Hardly are they home to break their fast together with her & she is always griped by the feelin of loneliness. I can understand her situation & really hope that she can overcome it soon. Loneliness is such a poison... Again I realise how my own mum has been so strong as she deals with life without a husband & tt she is able to cope when I leave her for a period of time to travel. Tis Ramadhan, I tried my best to spend much iftar sessions at home, to accompany her.

On Eid, i missed out hangin out with my maternal family as I have now joined Iyuan's family. The whole atmosphere was a change. I missed the kecohness of my past Eids, travellin together with my cuzzins havin lotsa fun! Nevertheless, I guess next Eid, we'll have to plan ard our changes & hopefully we can get a better time coordination next time...

As of now, we shall go with the flow & rejoice that we are able to celebrate Eid as husband & wife this year wearin matchin clothes for the first time! Hee...so Eid Mubarak everyone & may God bless our lives forward!
