Hari Raya month is over finally. As a family we had a good time this year. I think I enjoyed every moment of it. My kids are growing up fine and my extended family is ever expanding. It was a great time for me, as my kids began to understand Ramadhan and enjoyed Hariraya.

I took a week holiday off work and it went by very fast. It was a busy one, went back to Melaka and then flew to Kedah. Then we organized an open house at home and received lots of friends and relative.
My kids were excited too. Fatini who is seven years old this year, started the fasting ritual. She never missed her sahur time and understand her obligation in fasting, which made me tremendously proud of her. I didn't have to do much work to get her to start the fasting at her age. I did have to carry her to the dinner table though and she ate with eyes closed sometimes. But the determination was there. She always makes me proud by the way, performing very well in school and in anything she does.

Emir, who has not started fasting yet, enjoyed the break fasting rituals and never missed it. In fact he woke up to join us in the early sahur time once or twice.

Well, I can say we had a great time this year.
