ramadhan has finally left us... syawal is here again.

strange how things can change. in a sense of the hari raya mood. honestly speaking, just last year, when i heard the MUFTI announcing that hari raya would fall the next day, i would be jumping up and down, feeling damn happy and excited that hari raya was finally here...

but this year, not much anticipation. instead, i felt so sad when i realise that ramadhan was coming to an end. the last day of tarawih, when i heard the imam made the announcement, a mixed feeling of sadness and regret overcame me. for a moment, i finally felt the true meaning of ramadhan.

maybe i have finally grown up. hari raya is really meant to be a day of celebration. for us to rejoice in our achievements. and not just a day to enjoy meaninglessly and to collect money..

well, to all my friend, selamat hari raya, maaf zahir dan batin. ada jodoh, kita bertemu, akan ku pohonkan kemaafan setulus hati. i never believed in asking for forgiveness via email, phone or what not. when we meet, that's when i will asked sincerely.

alhamdulillah. thanks to god. he finally showed me the true meaning of ramadhan and syawal. =)
