Eid Mubarak

How time flies. It seemed it was just yesterday we started fasting and in less than 24 hours it is already Syawal. This is my first Syawal without my father. When my mother passed away in 1981, I just returned from the States and started working. Now, my daughter just started working and I lost my father. Its going to be a lonely Hari Raya for me but being the eldest I'm expected to be home in Melaka. I don't know what it will be like but... life must go on.

At the beginning of Ramadhan this year, I resolved not to break fast outside the house too often. At the end of it I realised I was at home maybe about a week in total. The rest was at the hotels and in the office. Breaking fast in the office was okay. Our caretaker prepares his Bangladeshi fare every day. It consists of basically peas and rice. I started trying this dish 3 Ramadhans ago and have now gotten used to it. In fact I've begun to like it. But breaking fast at the hotels I think is a real waste of money. The average hotel Ramadhan fare this year is RM80 per pax. How can we eat this much worth of food after a full day of fasting? But our clients seemed to relish breaking fast at hotels and we are sort of forced into it. The other reason why I hate breaking fast at hotels is I'm most likely going to miss my tarawikh prayers.

Whatever, first Syawal will be on Saturday. I planned to drive back to Melaka after iftar on Friday. I'll take a slow drive, maybe we will stop in Banting before proceeding to Melaka. Hopefully we can have a taste of rendang Cik (my wife's auntie) in Banting.

In Melaka besides the normal visits to relatives (many are already elderly, so we need to visit them now) I plan to visit some ex-MHS friends. Maybe even hold a small gathering on 2nd Hari Raya. The plans are grand and I hope I can execute them.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA. MAAF ZAHIR BATIN
