Aidil Adha is upon us again

28th November 2009


We would like to wish all Muslims "Eid Mubarak" in conjunction with this year's Aidil Adha celebration. For those unfamiliar with it, Muslims celebrate two Eid ("raya" in Malay) in a year and Aidil Adha is celebrated in the Muslim month of Zulhijjah, when Muslims from all over the world gather in Mecca to perform Haj. Aidil Adha is also synonym with slaughtering sacrificial animals to be distributed amongst the needy.

In Brunei though, Aidil Adha is not usually celebrated as much as Aidil Fitri. Having said that, this year we got to celebrate it with Nini Boy, Nini Gal, Ngangah and the Warya family who slept over at our place last night.

For breakfast, we had pita kebabs, fried rice (normal and spicy), bread and fruits.


Good news for Safiya and I... Today, NiniBoy and NiniGal gave us special envelopes to mark today's celebration. Thank you very much! Hehehe...
