The last two days have been spent getting ready for Aidilfitri on Sunday. Yesterday, I paid my zakat fitrah before Friday prayers. Also, I picked up my baju. As I was driving around the somewhat empty streets of KL, I realized I'm glad that my family doesn't "balik kampung". I'm sure the lemang and rendang taste better in the kampung but I will give up all of that to be in a city where no one is on the streets.
It's eerie how quiet it is during the Raya holiday. Being a city boy, I enjoy the couple of days when no one is around (except for a few Mat Salleh's here and there). It's almost like you own the city.
Anyway, will be posting sporadically for the next week. On Monday, my family and I are going to KK for a little R and R. Maybe I'll post some pics.
Agree with you. I love to be around in KL when it is empty. Now, I have to balik kampung but the great part of Malaysia is that there are so many different holidays. So while I balik kampung for Hari Raya, I stay back for Chinese New Year. Lol.
Have a great Hari Raya!!
