the preparation

hari raya will soon be approaching.
the partner and i had a conversation a few months back.
i think way back in april.
he brought up the idea of what colours should our baju raya be this year.
i told him that it is still early to be talking about it and the mood of raya is not there yet.
he replied, "honey, you just see. the next time we know, we will be discussing about this again."
and yes.
he's right.
time flies whether you like it or not.

2007 will be over.

of course to look at 365 days is long.
but living in a fast paced world,
one day gone so fast.
then weeks.
then months.
then the years follow by the decades.
after you're done with work or school,
half a day is gone.

sadly,
time is one of the thing that we can't control.
it just happened.
you can never pause, rewind, forward your phase in life.
it just continues.
but one day, you will have to stop your life.

the purpose that i wanted to blog about was about raya's preparations.
i had side track a little.
i am excited for raya this year.
i can imagine the typical first day at my house.
how the furniture are arranged.
how my house will be surrounded with flowers.
how my house will be packed with people.
what are the common topics people are going to talk about.
etc.
i hope working life in the future won't affect the mood for raya.

mom has been busy baking kuehs.
grandnenek has been busy making kerepek.
dad has been busy fixing the lights.
the house is 1/4 prepared.
the carpet has not been laid.
the curtains has yet to be hung.
more work to be done.

the atmosphere creates the mood.

darling,
let have more rayas together.
it will be even more interesting when we have multiplied.
