It was Eid and it was Sitiawan’s turn this year.

The trip to Sitiawan was not stressful for traffic was more than manageable. After nearly three years, I am still getting used to raya traffic being bad in the opposite direction.

Irfan and I performed solat Aidiladha at the temporary masjid in town as a new one was under construction at the site of the old.

Before long it was time to head home.

A sad footnote:The day we before we travelled to Sitiawan I had heard that an old family friend – my parents’ good friend and my former classmates’ dad – had been hospitalised. We visited him the next day and were met by his entire family, people I have known since I could remember and rarely meet these days. Sadly the next day – the day beforEid, he passed away.
