Night of Aidil Fitri
Night of aidil fitri...7:30 pm still in the office doing some work. What the heck am I doing here at this specific time? If in Malaysia, I normally be in the mosque performing the "takbir" rituals and other optional solat. My stomach also start making some noise for not having a real break fast yet (time for break fast in Finland now is 4:30 pm). Just have a cup of coffee. Someone did offer a package meal prepare by Banana Leaves restaurant (meant for contractor's muslim staff). But since I already promised to myself not to consume anymore "subhat" meal, I politely said no to such a very sincere offer.
Got to switch off the notebook now. OK where should I go? Mc Donald? Oh God not that fish burger again. Another alternative is the Singapore Wok Restaurant at Kamppi Metro Station. The irony is that the owner of the restaurant is Malaysian....why call it Singapore?...puzzle me. Anyway, that's my only option. At the end I went there to have prawn nasi goreng with a glass of coke. Cost me about Euro 10....equivalent to RM 46. What a blessing to be a Malaysian citizen...
After the break fast, I called Zahari, the Malaysian embassy staff whether I could go to his place to celebrate raya together with other Malaysian colleagues. Zahari being Zahari...a very nice guy....he welcome me to his well decorated apartment. When I arrived there around 9:45 pm, Azman, Rahman, Shawal, Wan Suzainan, & Wan Azizan were already there. They were helping Zahari to prepare "lemang", "ayam rendang" and "nasi impit".
