Celebrating Hari Raya!!!

Recently, the fasting month, when all of the muslims fast from dawn to sunset, has ended and this means the start of 'Syawal' the month after 'Ramadhan', the fasting month in the islamic calendar. Many muslims will think of the same think when 'Syawal' arrives, which is Hari Raya!!!!! One or two weeks before Hari Raya, the muslim families will start cleaning up their houses, paint their houses and order some 'kueh', which means traditional delicacies. Then, they will decorate their houses. On the actual day, each individual will apologise to one another, especially to parents, for the past sins and bad deeds they have done. After that, the families will go for their prayers. After their prayers, they will all change to their newest and nicest clothing, before going out to visit their grandparents and relatives. That is what my family had just done today. It was enjoyable and fun. I would like to wish all my muslims and non-muslim friends a happy and safe Hari Raya.
