Raya aftermath...

today is the fifth day of syawal. i was back in kuantan before iftar on the last day of ramadhan, hence managed to have iftar together with my parents and brothers. it was a feast and i cant really remember what we had. all i remembered was later that night i went to ikelah's house to learn to feed his cats for later to be taught to boogey. of course, i made ikelah to tell me how to logon to internet on his computer first. heh heh heh....

i managed to meet up with kuantan based ham radio group ie Persatuan Radio Amatur Negeri Pahang (PERAMAH). was at 9w2pdb followed by 9w2www homes past midnight on friday. quite a number of stations congregated there. i'll post the group photo at MARES website.

i was in kuantan for 4 days before hitting the road for perak, my wife's place. we took the road to genting highland and then to batang kali. we entered the plus highway at tanjung malim and proceeded to tapah exit. the journey was smooth. not much traffic. however, on the plus highway, the south-bound traffic was horrendous. at some points, the traffic came to a stand still.
today we made it back to kl from teluk intan. we took the coastal road and stopped by bukit melawati in kuala selangor on the way. the kids loved the huge iron cannon and the monkeys or lotongs.

overall, the raya this year was as interesting as previous years. there's always some drama. this year there were two, but i shall keep the tale to myself.

i am still on raya leave until end of this week. im thinking of taking the kids to toysrus to spend their duit raya and then maybe to aquaria. aida has promised to babysit them and i shall have her make good on that promise.

selamat hari raya to all my readers, maaf zahir batin. to those planning to continue fasting, selamat menunaikan puasa enam.
