Selamat hari raya Aidil Adha

Wednesday, 19^th December 2007 – Malaysian Muslims in Australia celebrated Eiduladha today. All Malaysian Muslims including some from the Arabic countries gathered as early as 7 O’clock in the morning at Malaysia Hall to perform the Takbir Raya and solat sunat Eiduladha. Right after that, we had some jamuan, which the main menu was nasi lemak, ha ha..typical Malaysians huh? Not as many attendees as Eidulfitri celebration but the scene was still quite happening with takbir raya and salam bersalaman.

We didn’t prepare much for this eiduladha but Sal did cook somethings, though. Nasi himpit, kuah lodeh (her specialty), sambal tumis sotong and daging dendeng goreng. But the truth story underneath that was she wanted to keep herself busy so that she didn’t have to think so much about how deeply she misses everyone back at home. Luckily, we had two special guests from Malaysia coming over today…DR MASITAH and her father! But not for long as they were actually heading to Adelaide in the afternoon. So, at least their presences added on some sweets to our eiduladha celebration this year.

We managed to visit a couple of friends’ houses and might be the best thing was we’ve been proudly parading our baju raya all day. Some Aussies who happened to walk passed by us looked at us as if we were wearing something very very weird, but some did give complement.. ha ha… didn’t care actually!

So Muslims in Malaysia will be celebrating Eiduladha tomorrow. We would like to wish everybody selamat hari raya aidiladha and enjoy the day to the fullest! See ya in the next entry…bubye!
