Happy Eid-Adha!
We woke up early
today. My dad and my brother went to the mosque to perform Eid-Adha prayer,
while the girls are preparing things at home. We moved out again today, later
on the afternoon to go to Dungun, to my friend’s house.
After my dad and
my brother done performing Eid-Adha prayer, they picked us at home and we went
straight to my dad’s friend’s house for breakfast and for the next activity, qurban. It’s was my
first time seeing qurban live in front of my two eyes, so I was quite excited.
4 cows were down for qurban. This event were so meaningful for me. I saw the
struggle of the cows to escape from the rope that tied them up. I saw some cows
are really looking sad as if they know they were about to leave the world. I
saw how close these people are, gathered together at the morning of Eid Adha,
smiling and chatting, sharing foods and all. Actually, we have all these
scenario at my hometown. But I never really get to experience it myself except
for eating foods together. I have never went to see with my own eyes how ibadah
qurban was performed.

About half an
hour later, we excused ourselves as we have to go to Dungun. The journey is a little bit
over one hour. We dropped by the laundry before drove to my friend’s house.
This friend is someone I know during my Master’s Degree. We are quite close and
regularly keep in touch, so when she know that I’m coming over to Terengganu,
she invited us to stay at her home. At first, I was a bit reluctant since I’m
not going there alone, but with my family. But, she and her family insisted us
to stay overnight, and after discussing about it with my family, we decided to
accept the offer. It’s one of the way to bond the two family, so why not?
Later that
evening, we went to Teluk Gadung, a beach located in front of UITM Dungun, if
I’m not mistaken. These students are really lucky to have a beautiful beach
right in front of their university. The beach are beautiful. We spend about an
hour there strolling over the beach and chit-chatting. Well, it’s been a while
since I met my friend, so there’s a lot to talk about.

That night, we
are having a barbecue in front of the house with beefs they got after the
qurban. I really love barbecue but never really got a chance to do it
regularly. We talked, ate and stuffed our not-so-empty tummy to the fullest
before going to bed. Having a full tummy right before you sleep is not so
healthy hmmm but who cares? As long as we are happy :)
