Nine
of the GKC presenterts went on a trip to Perak to celerate Hari Raya with Uncle
Sabri, Auntie Wati and family.
We
took off at night, and the car broke down ! It was so cold in the streets
but it was a wonderful experience.We made it home at around 3 am. The next morning,
we went to the market to buy ingredients for the preparation of food for Hari
Raya. While the adults cooked, we watched, learned and helped.
Of
course, we played alot too.We went to feed fishes. We could hear the sound of
firecrackers going off nearby. After that, we went to pay a visit to some unfortunate
families in the area, bringing them gifts. They were poor but they looked
happy because they were surrounded by family and they realised that peple cared
for them.
The
next morning, it was Raya. We could see many people in beautiful baju kurungs
and kebaya's. MMMMmmmm....the smell of the food was also great. Various kinds
of food were placed on the table. We then visited relatives, and the principle
of SKKD, our adopted school. Gifts were also given to two SKKD students.
This
was basicly our trip to Perak for Hari Raya. It was a really fun and exiting trip.
If i had the choice, I'd say we should have stayed there longer!
