assalamualaikum...
wah,my blog is already dusty...
i think i need to clean it up a lil bit...
last few weeks,all muslims had a very merry celebration that is hari raya.
everybody was so busy preparing for the upcoming hari raya puasa.
i was home a week before hari raya.
at first, i thought that this years celebration will be the same as before.
so i didnt expect something fun to come.
the last week before raya puasa,i started a business by selling cheap fragrance at flea markets around my neighbourhood.i bought the ready-made fragrance at mydin and sells it at a higher price.ahh,i can still remember the aroma of the fragrance that i had sold back then.among the fragrance that i had sold are poisson (inspired),bunga cempaka,bunga melur,bunga tanjung,dunhill desire (inspired),lux (inspired),y.s.l (supposed to be Yves Saint Lauren but i short-termed it for easy remembering),Amor-Amor,Snake brand,Sahabat,Firdaus,lemon smell,strawberry smell,rose smell,and apple smelled fragrance.the business was a success.i manage to collect a total of rm700 clean profit from it.then, i gave back the capital to my father and keep the profit in my bank for further desperate use.
three days before hari raya,all my relatives had gathered at my grandfathers house.at this point,i still dont feel any fun factor around me especially when i was fasting,who can think of anything else other than foodstuff while they're fasting?
late at night before raya,my father took me to a night market and buy me 3 pairs of new jeans.i was so happy so i bought him a new ring with my name and his name carved on it.
the first day of raya,i wore my newly bought malay clothing and go to the musolla nearby to perform hari raya prayer.hari raya prayer is not the same as other prayer.hari raya prayer is done by praying 2 rakaat and followed by a khutbah.i still remember when i was still a little kid,i always skipped the khutbah and visit the neighbours house as fast as i can because i want to collect as many "duit raya" as possible.
after performing my prayer, i went to my grandmothers grave to read yassin for her.after that,i went to my grandfathers house and eat some breakfast.i was so thrilled because after a month of fasting,i finally get to breakfast,with 3 plates of nasi daging and rendang ayam and gulai daging!
the second and third day,i went to my uncle and untie's house because they are making an open house.there,i met all my relatives from the other side of my family and had a great time there,rewinding our fond memories.
a week after raya, i went back to KTD and starts back my normal life.
Wow Musoddiq, i never know you are good at business as well! Ever thought of opening your own perfume kiosk here? probably I'd buy one from you ^^
