My colleagues bought variety of cookies for Hari Raya. Hari Raya will be falling on the 13th October (a very special event celebrated by Muslims all over the world). Every day I see them purchasing either from the students’ parents or some other colleagues’ neighbours.
Whenever I pass by the staff room, I can see many boxes of cookies on their tables. I love cookies. Those cookies are kept there for days and they really attracted my attention. All sorts of cookies with all kinds of shapes, flavours and colours. It really made my eyes disobeyed or misbehaved. Now, my eyes have rejected to obey any instruction of my mind. My eyes were busy enjoying and tasting those nice cookies.
I complained to one of my colleagues. I said “Why don’t you bring your cookies home? You purposely make my eyes suffered and my saliva can’t help drooling down from my mouth.” My colleague joked “What a shame of you!” I told him that I have been observing and he was the one who bought the most cookies among the staff, I will go to his house on Raya day, therefore I want him to reserve some cookies for me. Oh! I have forgotten to make an appointment with him. I must remind him that I want to go to his house, early in the morning on the first day of Hari Raya.
For cookies sake! I went to my girls and chatted with them, found out they have helped their mum to make cookies. Praised them, hopefully they would bring some cookies for me. Certainly their mum would kill me if they knew me, such a horrible glutton woman (crazy hunting for cookies).
As for Muslims, they have been busy preparing for Raya for the past two weeks. They will be celebrating Raya on this Saturday. Muslims comprises 50% of the Malaysia population. We are having a week holiday. Everybody likes holiday. Originally Raya is celebrated for a month. However is not being practiced now. Everybody needs to return to their position, when the holiday is over.
