By the invitation of the Principal of Sekolah Al-Falaah, Ustaz Saiyed Haamid Aal-Taaher and the Parent Teacher Association of the school, I come to their Majlis Silaturahim which is held in conjunction with the Aidilfitri celebration on 24th October 2008, at Sekolah Al-Falaah Taman Manggis Manis. I come with my wife, my daughter (who is in KG2 at the school), and my son (who will study at the school in KG1 next year).

Pupils and teachers of Sekolah Rendah Tentera Laut Diraja Brunei (SRTLDB) celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri today (8 October 2008) at their school’s assembly hall.

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.

I went to my late father’s (and also his late father, mother, brothers,and sisters) grave at Pengkalan Jalur, Lubok Pulau, Tutong on the 3rd Syawal 1429H/4th October 2008. There, I recited the Surah Yassin and Doa Arwah.

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.

Every year my wife families from her mother’s side held an Aidilfitri gathering at her grandfather’s house at Rimba. However, this year the gathering is held at our house here in Anggerek Desa. The ‘must-have’ dish is soto (soup noodle), not missing from the menu list from year to year.

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 soto taste so good that I take it a number of times: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The others in the families (some) also take a number of times, usually the bowls are full.

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.
