happy Eid Mubarak!

It was Eid Mubarak on Tuesday, August 30, 2011.

For those who don’t know what is Eid Mubarak, I’ll tell you a bit.

Eid Mubarak or Idul Fitri is a Muslim holiday (which is my religion) as a sign of the end of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Muslim celebrate it after twenty-nine or thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadhan. Eid Mubarak is marked according to the Islamic calendar, which is based on the lunar phases of the moon. In the morning of Eid Mubarak, Muslims offer the Eid Pray at the Mosques or in open fields.

Eid Mubarak, besides mean a brand new day and brand new heart, is also mean new clothes, cannon festival, family gathering, a bunch of yummy and sweet foods, and fireworks, for me. :p

I played some fireworks with my sister in the last night of Ramadhan, Monday night. Our local city night was full of huge fireworks and citizens were get outside their houses and watching it until midnite. I stayed at home cz, you have no idea, how crowded the traffic was.

this is our fireworks. 

I didn’t get a chance to picture those 

huge fireworks in the sky ):

did I mention ‘cannon festival’? yes.

That’s my local city’s tradition. Cannon Festival is so many cannons detonated towards the river. So it’s like a war. It’s gonna be like.. BOOOOM here and BOOOOM there. There is a story behind it. My grandpa told me, Cannon Festival began a hundred years ago. That’s our ancestor’s tradition to scared ghosts and such bad spirits. We still keep this tradition anyway. Because all these citizens think that this is fun and this Cannon Festival is so rare.

don’t stand too close with the cannon or your ears get hurt! 

So, what’s your local city’s tradition in Eid Mubarak? ;)

   

Fifteen

“cz when you’re fifteen, somebody tells you they love you, and you gonna believe them.”

Fifteen is my lucky number. I don’t know why I believe in the luck this “lucky number” brings. You know, for me, being fifteen is awesome. When you finally turning fifteen, that’s the time when you should face your first year of hi-school. The time when you can do everything you wanna do and say you need to ‘learn’ everytime people gets mad at what you’ve done. The time when you feel like you’re not a little girl anymore, but also not a woman yet.  The time when you’re gonna be so sensitive about what happens around you. And the time when have a date with a senior sounds really good.

I always write “#15” on my hand whenever I’m going to face something that makes me nervous (like exams, or such thing), and I guess it’ll suggested me to do the right things I should do.

I was turning fifteen on September 15, 2010. What a beautiful coincidence. Fifteen is my birth

date. I was born on September 15, 1995, on Friday evening. I thought everything in my life

connected with this number.

I will turn 16 in less than a month. Ya however, the world keeps spinning and revolves around the sun. We’re getting a year older each year.

How I wish I could be fifteen forever.

what makes life such worth to live?

"sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
cz a dream is a wish that you're make all alone."

Right. Sometimes we feel like it's okay to live your life alone and you don't need any hand to help.
And sometimes we just don't realized that what we need isn't always a hand to help, but also people to laugh with.
Those people called friends.

Those people on picture above aren't mean only friends for me. They're more than that.
We were getting so this close when we were on 8th grade. So, you guys must be know why did I chose this topic as my first post. :)

                             we called ourselves Platsm, without knowing what does it mean. =))


so, what makes your life such worth to live right now?
