Selamat Hari Raya

Hello all, and a very happy Eid Al Fitr to you all. Yes, it would seem that the fasting month of Ramadan is over, and now everybody of the Islamic faith will be at home with their families, eating, drinking (orange cordial) and being merry. It's also a public holiday today, and was yesterday too and the whole of KL is pretty much a ghost town.
It's a bit odd in fact, as around 60% of the population of the cities all go home to their villages and small towns, and the rest of us with no place else to go get to wander around and actually imagine what KL was like before it became a big stinky traffic filled crap-hole. It's quite nice really, just being able to take a walk without thr risk of some mental running you over, and not having to fly to a different country to do so.
But then in the next few days the millions will return (but not before several thousand have killed each other on the remote back roads because they never learned to drive ever, and are now "drunk" with a belly full after gorging themselves on good food after a month of abstinance. Then all the food places will be open again all day (which again, I kind of got used to having nice empty cafes all to myself, just me and the papers, ho hum, am I selfish? Don't answer) and normal life will resume.
In fact, things are going to start happening again, as for the last 2 weeks whenever you ask somebody if they can do something, the answer is basically "After Raya", well now is Raya, so, hopefully things will happen again.

So, spare a thought for our muslim brothers and sisters around the world, as they enjoy their equivilent of Christmas. And mother, if you see any of your islamic friends from work, I think you're supposed to say "have a safe and prosperous Eid, may I be forgiven for any wrongdoing I have done to you this year" - I don't know the Arabic translation, but I rekon the English would make them happy.

Love to all
