RAYA.

Or you'll know it as Eid.

"Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated as simply Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic term meaning "festivity" or "celebration" while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" and can also mean "nature" from the word "fitrah" and therefore symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period."


We as Malaysians, also know Eid as the time to eat at other people's house; without feeling any guilt..to the host (nor our own tummy). The hosts of the "open house", as we would call it back home will invite all their friends to gather in their house and THE GUESTs can eat as much as they want. Usually the hosts will prepare really good dishes alongside traditional meal such as the 'rendang', 'nasi impit', 'kuah kacang', etc. I had really great food from 4 houses today! I love going to open houses...especially when the hosts let me play with their Nintendo Wii~! I'd say weeeeeeee~~

Teehee..Thanks to all the people who invited us to their open house today. =)
