First day of Shawal


We started the day with the subuh prayers. After that it was getting ourselves ready for the Eidul Eid prayer at the nearby mosque. By 7.30am we were ready and having breakfast. After a month of fasting, breakfast seems a bit strange. Anyway, with all the ketupat, rendang, lemang and whatever, the food gets gobbled up very quickly.
Then its to the nearby mosque for the Eidul Eid prayer. The mosque as usual, was full.
By 9.30 am, we were back at the house. After the customary salam and asking for forgiveness among us, its time to start visiting close relatives. Fortunately or unfortunately, some of our relatives have balik kampung so there were not too many houses to visit.
We were in Paya Jaras, Ampang and Subang Jaya. The day finally ends at about 7 pm when we were back at the house, feeling all tired and worn out. The night was spent just resting in the house, watching TV, have more food and sleep.
