Raya Story (Part 2)

Eventhough I could get a lot of money from my father's friend during 1st syawal, I still not enjoyed the day. During those years, I felt Ramadhan was even better as we played combat with thunderclad cracker dan satu lagu mercun das if you can remember that firework. While bapak bapak terawih, we play combat with fire-cracker ........... dan selalu juga kena marah pasal berperang dekat dengan surau. What to do meh, only that area was light with Street light hahahahahaha.

From '80 to '85, Eid was ok in terms of duit raya but boring in term of the absent of my close friends. During this time, my father still did not afford to buy car, so we celebrate the eid the whole month in Serdang. From '86 my father bought a car and we will balik kampung on the 2nd day of syawal. We always planed to balik kampung like 8.00am or 9.00a.m in the morning but my father's friends always came early, so tak da la awal pun balik kampung tuh.

From '80 to '86 the numbers of families that stayed in the garden rose from merely 5 to about 10 to 12 but still they didn't have sons that have same age like me. So it didn't mean anything to me.

In the '86, my friend proposed to watch movie in KL. I knew my mum would not allow me to go to KL if I asked permission from her. So aku diam kan ajer and went to KL with my friend. Normally we watched the 3.00pm show and when the show over by 5.00pm we will round the city center for a while. Terasa best pulak pasal tak ada satu kenderaan pun kat tempat sesibuk Pudu Raya.

We will make sure that we can take the 6.00pm bus so that our parent would not realised that we have travelled as far as Kuala Lumpur on the 1st day of Eid.

During the night I always go to this satu kedai india nih for one reason. Main TIKAM DUIT gambar dayak tuh. Sometime I made money and most of the time I lose a lot. Bengap la when I was a kid, luckily today that TIKAM duit has no longer in the groceries stores. Takut aku kalau anak anak aku main pulak hehehehehhehehehe.
