Hey all. As you all should know, yesterday was hari Raya. It is supposed to be a day where the all the Muslims would be full of joy and visiting one another.

In the morning, went for prayers with my father. After that came back home at around 9.45. My sister was ready at home and after that we headed to Yishun to meet my 3rd uncle's family. Spent some time there, at the same time waiting for my cousin sister's family to arrive there. Then the males went to chua chu kang cemetry to see 3 people's grave. We have been going there on this day for the past 3 years. Some of you all know why while some of you all don't know why.

After that went back to Yishun to have lunch. Then at around 4 plus went around visiting some of my relatives. Today went to 6 people's house. My 4 uncle's and aunty's houses, who are my father's siblings. The other 1 was another aunty who is my father's cousin sister. She is as close or can say even closer to my family than the others.

The 6 places: Yishun Ave 4, Tampines st.34, Tampines st.21, King's Drive, Westwood, Jurong West st.42

Let's talk about the visiting:

OMG! I think i ate 1 kg of sugar from all the kueh and sweets from all houses. But nevermind, it is only once in a while, but for sure my weight is going to increase a lot. It was great to see all the relatives as it has been a long time since i last saw a few of them. Overall had a good time talking with one another and spent time well.

I probably think we are not going to visit anyone else on the other days. Actually, this year, we should not be celebrating Hari Raya. Therefore my family did not make the atmosphere look like we are celebrating grandly. We just did the basic things like going for prayers in the morning, visiting the main relatives. There are 3 main reasons to say that my family should not celebrate Hari Raya.

Firstly: My 1st sister's Father-in-law just passed away in the month of July. That is why i did not mention about my first sister . So there should be any form of celerbaration from her family. We just went to her house for a while at night.

Secondly: My grandmother in India passed away around June this year. So actually all of us are really sad as every year without fail would talk to her on this day. But unfortunately, this year unable to talk to her. However, one person's life has to end one day or rather and my grandmother lived for 70 years, which is considered fine when compared to those who die at a young age.

Thirdly: The most important reason of all. The dreadful incident which happened 3 years ago.

From that year, my family lost its happiness. For the past 3 years, we never celebrate Hari Raya at all and this year we just celebrated slightly. If only she was around..... life would be different...

Nevermind about that, life has to go on. Just cherish the good moments and neglect the bad ones.

Finally, shall leave you all with these two photos.
