sunday; 11.16pm

because tomorrow is hari raya for us down under, the cousin and me decided to cook a feast and revel in the food we should be having if we were back home. along with the air flown pineapple tarts and other assorted kuih, we got a bit nostalgic and decided to celebrate raya as best we can, sans ketupat and rendang. there is no lampu kelap-kelip (twinkle lights) to drape the balcony with, or the baju kurung that gets its 3rd round of ironing. here, it's just australian idol on a sunday night but it's all good. i have raya songs blaring out of my laptop and the apartment is inundated with the rich aroma of tumeric and curry. it's not the same but it isn't so bad.. selamat hari raya :)

"Suasana hari raya walau di mana pun jua
Memberikan ketenangan dan mententeramkan jiwa"
- suasana di hari raya, anuar zain
