After a few years celebrating syawal with lots of assignments and bringing back books and laptop.. this year is supposed to be the most peaceful-mind syawal that I ever had. I promised to myself not to bring any work from office and any books to be read. And I did!
Being an eldest in the family... don't ever think that you will have time to enjoy yourself. It is your responsibility to help your parents and family and to do whatever you can to reduce their burden. I end up realizing that I will no longer having an opportunity to celebrate hari raya like other people. Most of my time, I was in the kitchen.. serving the guests and family!
However, this syawal gives me one sweet memory. Something that I have waited for years... something that I pray everyday... something that will change my life. Adios.
