i troubles me to think as the festive season draws near, i shall be without my family, girlfriend, and best friends. there is a sort of tentativeness that i am experiencing that shall be overwhelming when that time arrives. for now i dont feel it, but slowly it is creeping behind my back.
the first thing that i am going to miss is the food. what is Hari Raya without food. the ketupat. rendang. lontong. fried chicken. u know all those sinful stuffs dats not good for ur body.
secondly. i am going to miss the time spent at the void deck at block 845 Eunosville where all the blokes will hang out regardless of marital status, to meet and ask for forgiveness. well most of us have our own lives now and so it is even more important that we meet at that time to seek forgiveness from each other. u may never know wat might happen to u till the next Eidilfitri. but if i missed that, theres always the second chance. meeting after Eid prayers. and plus photo opportunities. i have seen the number grown smaller by each year. and this year, with my absence, it is going to be even more smaller.
thirdly. i will not miss this but i will in a silly sort of way. the spring cleaning part of the house. its the yearly use ur hands campaign at the Ganis. washing the floor. the carpet. the toilet. the kitchen. i dont wash the room cos i dont have a room to speak of. so i wash the living room. thats! my room. and then Imelda, my sister would redecorate her house and misplace a lot of things. well dats according to my father.
fourthly, at noon. the begging for forgiveness part. imagine. 9 of us. or if counting in my nieces and brother in law, 14. we would make a line to beg for forgiveness. all is forgiven.
but then again, i have lived a life where learning to be independent has been the priority. no matter. i luv all of u just the same.
i will try to make the best out of the worst.
