‘Eid Visits

Posted by PakNik on September 30, 2009

Perjalanan jauh tak terasa, kerna hatiku melonjak sama, ingin berjumpa sanak saudara, yang selalu bermain di mata….

How true what the late Sudirman had said in his song about going home during Eidul Fitri. I didn’t have a chance to visit my relatives especially my aunt in Pulau Kundor and my mom in Panji, last Eid due to the fact that my mom was coming over to KL that year to send off my brother who got a job in Saudi Arabia.

This year I had the good fortune of being able to travel home on the 2nd day of Eid. The journey was smooth even though not few cars and vehicles as I would have expected, were traveling my way too on that day!

Except for the delay during the stretch between Kg. Pek and Pulai Chondong, which took over an hour, the journey home took the expected time to arrive.

On the way back to KL on the 6th day of Syawwal, there were traffic jams entering Machang and Kuala Krai and also upon entering Raub and Bentong.

As usual during the Raya visits, one would normally expect trips to Pasir Mas, either by using the Sultan Yahya Petra bridge or the new highway leading to Pasir Mas bridge to be packed with cars and mpvs! So was the scenario during this Raya as well!

All I can say is that the traffic jams in KL shifted home during this festive season…. :D

Eventhough I have to admit that it was hectic and rather tiresome, but it was well worth it…..ask anyone who brave the traffic jams and what nots to travel home for Eidul Fitri and I’m sure they would gladly repeat it next year.

Hari raya…..mungkin kanak-kanak merayakannya sebab dapat baju raya, duit raya atau dapat menikmati ketupat dan lemang. Ayah dan ibu nun jauh di kampung mungkin merayakan kepulangan anak-anak dari perantauan…namun apakah syaitan-syaitan juga ‘merayakannya‘ kerana dibebaskan pada malam itu dari dibelenggu? Sudah pasti penghuni kubor yang fasik tidak ‘merayakan‘ kedatangan hari mulia itu kerana akan bermula semula azab kubor kepada mereka….melainkan kalau ada anak cucu yang sudi menziarahi pusara mereka di pagi raya dan menghadiahkan secubis pahala…

Hari Raya…..apakah yang kita rayakan?

Salam ‘Eidul Fitri, Mohon maaf diatas kesalahan dan kesilapan, sama ada yang jelas ataupun samar, sengaja ataupun tidak, kecik lebih-lebih lagi yang besar.
