When I was small, Hari Raya is a big event in my life. That's when I get to where new clothes, stockings and shoes. A few days before the big day, my parents will take us shopping. Although my father struggled all his life to make ends meet in bringing us all up, I don't remember a time when I don't have new clothes for the celebration. Somehow, he will find the money for his children to buy brand new shirts, trousers, stockings and shoes. I remember proudly wearing them on the big day, feeling on top of the world. I felt like the smartest kid in town.
