This is the time the pupils to wear their new Hari Raya Aidilfitri clothing in school. And so do their teachers.
The pupils also have to opportunity to shake hand and exchange Aidilfitri greetings with all SRTLDB teachers. The pupils are also given duit raya (money gift given in conjunctions with the Aidilfitri) by the teachers.
Lastly, all pupils (which are grouped according to their respective class), eat and drink together. The foods and drinks are brought by themselves, then shared and served among their class members. Therefore, each class will have a variety of foods and drinks.

Then, I poured the aying asah-asahan (water mixed with scented wood) on my father’s grave as well as on the graves of his parents, brothers, and sisters. The ritual is followed by my wife and my two children.
The following photo shows my son and my daughter are pouring the aying asah-asahan. Actually, this is not my father’s grave. They are pouring the extra aying asah-asahan on other people’s graves, after they have poured aying asah-asahan to their late grandfather and his late family. Just, to do a good deed to the others.
p/s: I forgot to reset my camera setting. The above photo is taken at ISO1600 (it should be ISO100), in the bright sunny afternoon. Af first, it is very overexposed. Then, I adjusted the photos using DPP software.

This year, the soup is cooked by my wife’s grandfather while the other ingredients are prepared by our housemaid (amah) under the supervision of my mother-in-law. The soto is only available on the first day of Syawal at the family gathering (and a few other occassions).
THE SOUP NOODLE
















EXTRA:Kek Tapak Kuda (Horse Shoes Cake)
I ate and took photo of this cake when I visited my wife’s cousin at Rimba. Its taste is better than the usual one. This one have bits of peanuts in the Nutella chocolate which give the crunchiness in its texture.
