I am sure everyone is looking forward to celebrates special festivals together with their families.As muslims,my family and i celebrates Hari Raya Puasa.It comes once a year in the Muslim month of Syawal after a month of fasting in the muslim month of Ramadhan.
For my family,we would usually prepare the night before Hari Raya.On the eve of Hari Raya,as a family,we would gather and do the ketupat together.Ketupat is a traditional malay food that would be served on Hari Raya to our relatives and friends. It is made up of rice that is put together in pandan leaves.We wolud have to weaves the ketupat leaves before puting in the rice.Usually on the first day of Hari Raya,my mum and i would wait for my brothers and my father to come home from their prayers at the mosque.While waiting for them,we would usually prepare some of the malay traditional dishes like rendang,ketupat,lontong,satay,chicken curry and many more...
After my dad and brothers completed their prayers,we would then go to my grandparents house.There,all my relatives meet.We would exchange our thoughts and experience together since we seldom gather as a big family.Then,we would eat all the dishes that has been prepared. Not forgetting also all the kuehs that my grandma made(: She always had my favourite which is the pineapple tart or kueh tat..As a big happy family,we would sit down cracking jokes among each other and take pictures together.
Just by seeing my family all bond together,could make a smile on my face.(: Its really pleasant and nice to see all of us happily together since we always have not much time together due to our daily activities..I hope that my family would not only get together on special occasions but also everyday eventhough our schedelude are always pack and busy..I also hope that parents could spent more time with their families than thier work in this fast changing city of Singapore..In conclusion,we should treassure every moment with our families as thoose moments are priceless and irreplaceable!.. :D
