We did not go anywhere this Eid obviously because of the MCO. We bought a couple of new clothes for the kids. My wife and I are content to wear last year(s) dress. Since we are not going anywhere anyway, what’s the point. On the first day of Eid, Linda cooked ketupat palas, rendang and chicken rice. All simple menus just for the family. For lunch, we bought McDonald’s in Putrajaya and stopped by Taman Putra Perdana nearby, meaning to have a little picnic there. Before long though, the security personnel politely told us it’s forbidden to do so at the moment. That’s pretty much what we did on the first day of Eid-al fitr this year.
Do I miss going back to my hometown this year? A little bit. At least I’m thankful I don’t have to go through the exhausting long drive and terrible traffic jam usually associated with the holiday season. I did video call my mom and grandma at home, joined by siblings. We just transferred all our raya money to niece and nephews online this year. I wish the MCO would end soon and I get to bring my family for a nice holiday somewhere. The cabin fever is real.
