My family and I celebrated Hari Raya Puasa last October. It marks the end of one month of fasting. All the men have to go for prayers in the morning until around 10 am. We usually eat before visiting my relatives' houses. I had to apologise to my parents. Seeking forgiveness from the elders is a must during Hari Raya. Usually, there will be crying and giving out of tissues.
I went to my close cousin's house first at Tampines. My aunt cooked a variety of dishes such as Rendang, Ketupat and Nasi Lemak. There was also kuih; appetizers like pineapple tart or honey cornflakes. I brought my own hand-made chocolate chips cookies. Yummy!! Soon all my other cousins came flocking in. Everybody complimented my cookies saying it tasted like heaven. Forgive me for my lack of humility. .Anyway, I inherited packets of money $
I went to my paternal side of relatives on the next day. I saw my super cute niece who is only a few months old. I carried her throughout the whole trip and attended to her needs. I even laid her to sleep and feed her. When my uncles and aunties tried to carry her, she cried. She only stayed silent if her parents or me carried her. I ate fried noodles and pizza and drank fruit punch. We then returned to our homes. I collected a grand total of $150+.
