Selamat Hari Raya 2008

Tomorrow October 1, 2008 Malaysians celebrate the Hari Raya 1 Syawal AidilFitri. Wish everybody 'selamat Hari raya'.

The one thing that is synonymous with large scale celebration like Hari Raya, and Chinese New year, is the migration of people from the city to their hometown.

For a few days in a year, the roads in KL will be devoid of traffic, while the smaller towns will be jammed-packed with the return of the 'migrants'. The smaller towns are not built to cope with the massive population, so you can expect shortage of petrol (already in the news recently), long queue at the ATM machines when the returnees cashout their savings, long queue at the popular (and not so popular) food stalls. The air of festivity can be seen at the smaller towns , rather than in KL!

So join the crowd and see you in Melaka!
