battle of hari raya

assalamualaikum and a very good day!

it is still syawal, so here goes my raya diary! haha. diary la sangat.
well, why i wrote 'battle' above, because there were battles everywhere throughout the short and sweet raya holiday. why battle??is it battle to get angpau?? or is it battle to get attention?? naah, not both.

it is a battle to be the best person, to be anak soleh, to be the one who deserve to be in jannah. cool  huh,
and i'm just the observer. the real contestants are 8 years kiddo and below. hohoh.

so, lets the pictures and video tell the story!!

1at day
otw to nye che's house, in the car. having iqra', memorizing surah, and arabic competition. lets see who can answer the most!

berkaroke iqra' otw balik kampong. heheh

2nd day - no news since I got fever and had been bedridden the whole day. T_T

3rd day- half of the day. here the highlights!
all the adults were doing preparation for the wedding and done with asr' prayer. forgetting that the kids want to pray too. so, at the end they pray by themselves. one of them become the imam, the other bilal and the rest makmum. *no physical or mental force involve* it is not a role play! they want to do that! willingly, ok.
*this is not a role play. and they pray full 4 rakaat*

4th day- the wedding day. this time battle to help the elders. Can you imagine each one of them running to get present each time people coming with presents. they were waiting in front of the house with big smile and ready to receive any presents. There was a table outside for presents. if it was overflow, then the kids should carry the remaining inside.What really happen was, it wasn't yet full or half full, but they already carried it inside regardless of the weight. 

guests said, "feel like kenduri in the garden" but i said "cam kenduri in semak" :P

this is where the kids and i waiting for the guests

5th day- open the presents! the kiddo love thisss sooo much. hehe. even their uncles and aunties too. :D

6th day- slowly going home. but still full with energy. hehe. i went to visit my new nephew - born on 1st syawal. :) his house has beach at the backyard. dont believe? lets see this.

here is a special open space area at the back of his small cute banglow.  :)

baby Ali. nama sempena amirul mukminin, khalifah saidina Ali.  semoga menjadi anak soleh. :)

sorry about the video, have to teleng ur head. hehe. dont know how to adjust it. will try later. :P

and throughout the hols, a 7 years-old kid read al-quran every day, never miss it. and in fact crying when his sister took his quran. hohoh. thats lil kiddo. how bout us? the so called adults?? have you read your quran today?

well, thats how i end my raya. now, this house is empty. no kids anymore. huhu.*alert* this entry is not to show off or what. plus, they are not my own children. ambil yang jernih, buang yang keruh. take the good things for the benefit of the future generation because I love our country as much as you do.

lastly, selamat hari raya, readers! sorry for everything. may Allah bless u. kullu a'min wa antum bi khair. semoga berada dalam kebaikan sepanjang tahum, Taqaballahu Minna wa Minkum. may Allah accepts deeds from us and you.

wallhu'alam
