Friday August 19 will be Hari Raya - a festive occasion to end the fasting month of Ramadan.
This is a joyous occasion for all Muslims: we'll go for the morning prayers at the mosque, and wish
each other with good wishes and ask for forgiveness for any inadvertent faults that may have been
committed unintentionally.  There'll be cakes and food served aplenty.  Its a real joyous occasion
and I enjoyed it very much - as all my sons and their wives and children will be gathering together
in my house - that's happiness!
The children will be extra happy as they will receive small envelopes with money inside as Hari
Raya gifts - there'll be shouts of joy as they will buy sweets or crackers and play with their friends!
