Selamat Hari Raya

Suatu Hari di Hari Raya

After getting married, Hari Raya celebration become home and away affair. It's either heading south or east coast. This time around, it's east coast turn. Well, definitely, I'll miss ketupat with kuah lodeh, rendang and not to forget the authentic sambal goreng (orang Jawa lah katakan...Jaworld hehehehe).

Anyway, I just found out a way to help me of not thinking ketupat and sambal goreng after AidilFitri prayer. I don't know for sure the actual event name but It's an event that I called it "Majlis bersarapan or probably santap bersama Sultan". It's easy, coax my in-laws to drive me to Masjid Muhammadi. Once the AdilFitri sermons end, make a quick dash to Istana Balai Besar just across the road. As simple as that.

This year was the second time I attended this event. People from all walk of life will be there. From Kelantan royal families (I got a glimpse of that Thai Princess who recently married to the Crown Prince)to Kelantan's PAS and UMNO top politicians minus Tok Guru Nik Aziz to opportunists like me hehehe... and some unlucky poor folks with their kids trying hard to be happy celebrating Hari Raya.

It is a chance for you to taste what The Sultan is having on Hari Raya. The best part of it is definitely to be able to puff at the istana door step (well I can do it every alternate Hari Raya hehehe) and to snap a picture or two like this one.

As I type this blog entry, it is drizzling in Kota Bharu after few days of hot and humid climate... hmmm better find thick blanket or else I'll freezing tomorrow morning.
