Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri

October 13, 2007 is HariRaya AidilFitri, a Muslim celebration to mark the start of the new month Syawal. The celebration is very meaningful to Muslims because it also signifies the end end of 30 days of dawn-to-dusk fasting.

Imagine not any having food or drinks from 5.30 am to 7.30 pm (or thereabouts). I couldn't last half a day without food, what more 30 days in a row.

Incidentally, our Malaysian astronaut Dr Sheikh Muztaphar went into space during the Ramadhan month, and eveyone is keen to find out whether he kept to the fast as required by his Muslim faith.

On my part, I look forward to do some visiting on Raya day. I have a cousin who is married into a Muslim family, and Hari Raya is a day when we (all 30 odd cousins, aunties and uncles) get to enjoy Ketupat, Rendang, Lontong, and the delicious cookies.

This year, the Prime Minister is having an open house at PWTC hall in Kuala Lumpur from 2pm onwards (Oct 13). A few years back, I went to the open house of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir - at the Putrajaya residence. It was an experience- the orderly queue outside the gates, the rush to enter the official residence and the rush to get the food. The gardens is beautifu! If you have the chance to go to the official residence of the Prime Minister in Putrajaya, do go!

Selamat hari raya

P Ramlee the musical

Malaysians who haven't heard of P Ramlee are a rare breed indeed. Though he died in 1973, his memory lingers on through his songs and movies. Click on the teaser below to recall his voice.



P Ramlee is a musical legend, just as Elvis Presley is. I grew up waiting for Friday nights when the television station will show re-runs of P Ramlee movies. Now the stations show the movie reruns once too often, but yet if its a P Ramlee classic, I'll sit through the movie despite having seen it countless times before. I don't know, but it's a combination of songs, jokes, storyline, good acting and everything else..

Come October 18, a musical on P Ramlee's love life will staged at Istana Budaya. The musical is titled "P. Ramlee the Musical... The Life, The Love and the Inspiration".

Some famous personalities are going to be in the musical. For one, P Ramlee will be played by Sean Ghazi (good voice!). And the part of Azizah, P Ramlee's first love, will be played by Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia's top song queen). The producer is Tiara Jacquelina (of the PGL Puteri Gunung Ledan fame).

Go to the official website to read the cast list.
