all gone in one day!

i just can't wait for d big day - yes, hari raya!

after not eating and drinking from dawn till dusk for one whole month, i always cherish the first day of syawal. no need to suffer with dry lips and sore throat. after the morning prayer there is food aplenty - lemang, kari, rendang, ketupat satay and lots of cakes and biscuits. i would normally eat as much as i could until i feel like a python which has just swallowed a whole goat.

yup! hari raya is always like that. nice food. rich and oily (fat) food. but at the end of it all, i always lament how rugi i am after struggling for a month to shed off the extra spare tyre(s), all efforts washed down the drain in just a few hours (or minutes)!

(sigh!)

what say you?

The trick is to do it moderately. But I dont think it works with Malaysians. Haha.
