Adelaide-Melbourne-KL-Kuantan-Pekan

Petang nanti insyallah akan bermulalah perjalanan seorang perantau untuk pulang berhari raya di kampung halamannya.. Perasaan pulang berhari raya sebenarnya akan lebih dirasai jika anda tinggal di negara orang..Seriusss..Imagine,jauh giler perjalanan..Daripada saat gua keluar daripada rumah kat Adelaide ni nanti,nak sampai ke Pekan,hmmm lebih kurang 26 jam..campur waktu transit laa kira..Sampai nanti betul-betul ngam ngam time orang bukak puasa..Pastu orang takbir kat masjid Pekan.. Perghhh.. Memang leleh gua cakap lu..

My parents are still in Mekah,and will touch down KL about the same time as my flight on Thursday..I am going to surprise them in KLIA,because we are going to board the same plane back to Kuantan afterwards, and they have no idea about it yet..:-)..Or maybe surprise them during boarding..heheh..

Talking about Mekah,last few years,I got one unique experience..Not sure how many people have experienced it,but for me,it was quite special..I got the opportunity to celebrate 1st day of Raya,TWICE.. One in Mekah,and one in Malaysia..Lepas sembahyang sunat Aidil Fitri di Masjidil Haram,kita orang berlepas balik ke KL,sampai pagi raya kat Malaysia pulak..Kalau nak sembahyang raya lagi sekali pun boleh,tapi tak buat laaa..Again,it was a beautiful experience,cause I got to 'salam' and asked forgiveness from my parents,in front of Kaabah in the morning of Aidil Fitri..:-)..That day might be one of the best Aidil Fitri in my life..Totally different feelings..Purely celebrated as victory after a full month of fasting,nothing else..No thinking about kuih raya,rendang,lemang after solat,duit raya,what so ever..No culture..Purely a religious thing..I was still a young teenager,so that was my first real experience to differentiate things between culture and religion..I started to understand that hari raya in Malaysia is mostly about culture..Di Mekah,hanya sembahyang raya,and that's it..Ramadhan is celebrated more than hari raya..

Bila sampai di Australia,lagi lah faham secara realitinya,bahawa Ramadhan dan Aidil Fitri, memang betul-betul sepatutnya bersandarkan kepada agama,bukan budaya..Kalau sebelum tu,pergi sembahyang terawih,mungkin (I said mungkin) sebab suasana di Malaysia,semua orang semangat pergi terawih mungkin..Di sini,we live as individuals..We choose what we want to do..Tiada orang pandang slack kalau tak pergi terawih or sembahyang raya..So,kalau kita pergi,memang kita pergi sebagai diri kita sebagai individu..Kalau kita beribadat, betul-betul sebab diri kita sendiri..I hope you can get what I mean..Cuma,bila sampai Hari Raya,of course we still celebrate it as Malaysian,to keep the culture inside us perhaps..Which is a very good thing..Contoh:- Bangsa lain,orang negara lain mana ada open-open house ni..Malaysian jer..Sampai ke Australia pun buat open house.. Hmmm,I have a lot of wonderful hari raya experience in Australia..:-).. Daripada zaman Fizan and As buat lemang kat Bentley dulu,sampai lah ke zaman buat kuih makmur ramai ramai last year in Wilson..Too bad that I haven't got any chance to celebrate it here in Adelaide yet..hmm..will do next year hopefully..

Hmm,insyallah tahun ni ada buat open house kecil-kecilan,18hb malam di Kuantan,25hb di Perth..Semua dijemput hadir..So,to all my beloved ABCB family,SHAHians,budak PPP,Perth and Adelaide friends,

..Dengan ini,saya,Azrul Jabbar,ingin mengambil kesempatan mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri,Ampunkan segala salah & dosa saya,zahir & batin,Halalkan makan minum,Maaf sekiranya ada terkasar bahasa & perselisihan..Please drive safely bila balik ke kampung masing-masing ya.. Insyallah,ada rezeki kita jumpa hari raya nanti...Yang tak balik,jangan nangis,biar saya wakil anda semua..huhuhu.. Assalamualaikum..:-)..Selamat Hari Raya..

p/s:- Untuk arwah Atan,Mak,Tok Ngah,Tok Ki,Nenek,Mak Ncik,Abang Jeid,Ayah Teh and my best friend Fairuzee Taman..Hanya Al-Fatihah yang mampu saya kirimkan..Semoga Allah bersama kalian..:-( ..
