Celebrating Idul Fitri 1430H

By Nurmala

On Sunday. 20th September 2009, me and my brothers and sisters were very happy to be able to celebrate Idul Fitri 1430H. I was very happy to be able to gather together with families, friends and neighbours, because that day is a very pleasing day. I went to visit families and neighbours. I was very glad to be able to come to them to apologize, because I’ve made so many mistakes.

Yana, Anah, Kartini, and I left for the mosque to shalat Fitri (pray). I left at 6 am in the morning. We finished our shalat at 7.30am, and I went home. When we finished our shalat, my family and I went to visit the neighbours. And also our big family.

After that we continued to visit other families. My cousins who lives in Jambu Lane and Perdana Lane. The one who lives in Jambu lane is our eldest family, while the in Perdana Lane is form our grandmother’s side. My siblings and I continued our visit to the cousins who lived in Jambu Lane. While we are there we are sending our apologize and forgiveness to each other, my siblings and I took a rest. Some also had lunch and had some snacks. We received a news that one of our cousins were giving birth on the morning of Idull Fitri Shalat.

After that we continue to our family who lived in Perdana Lane. After all the visits, my family and I went home because we all are so tired.

Once we got home, we had a rest because our eyes are so sleepy, and we fell asleep. At 12 in the afternoon, Kak Debby and her friends promised will come and visit our home. Even though we have different religions, we have to respect all human kinds.

I woke up at 2pm. I went straight to Yana’s house, because there are already Kak Debby, kak Vera, Kak Lucy, and Kak Welly and their friends. From Yana’s house, my friends and I visit Grandma Intan, then went straight to my house.

Once we got to my house, kak Debby and friends visit my family. After lunch kak Debby and her friends went home, because the day is already late and they have got a long way home. Anah, Yana, Kartini, and I took them til the end of the lane. After that we went home to our own houses.

I think that’s all the story from Mala. Please forgive any of my mistakes, and I am sorry if my writing is hard to read. Please understand that I just learned to write.
