Aidilfitri 2014.... the celebration !

After a month fasting during Ramadhan , it is a time to celebrate our Aidilfitri on the 1st of Syawal . We feel great since we successfully performed our  duty but yet feel sad since Ramadhan had left us . Pray to Allah so that we can still  meet at the next  Ramadhan . Amin .

For this celebration , for men , we wear our  traditional  baju melayu with sampin and songkok , and this year we choose green colors  . For ladies , normally they wear their traditional baju kurung . In Malaysia , the malays normally celebrate their Aidilfirti for one month within  Syawal , where they made an open house for the guest to visit them . And they are very happy to welcome and treats you with special dishes as well .

Among our activities :
1. Went back to our village at Kuala Terengganu which took us for 1.5 hours travelling .
2. Morning , 9 am . Solat sunat Hariraya Aidilfitri .
3. Celebrate the day by visiting our relatives houses where we ask for forgiveness and we also was treats with cookies and special traditional malay dishes .

We spends for 5D4N at our village for that celebration . We really enjoyed ourselves and feel very excited especially meeting our beloved brothers , sisters . nieces ,  nephews , unties , uncles  and many others . Most of my nephews and nieces already grown up and so do my kids .

At Kuala Terengganu :

We wish you all " Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Maaf dzahir batin "
