Happy Children's Day

Every 1st October is Children's Day here, I have made my children these gift boxes. I have put some marshmallows and candies into each box. I hope they will like it.

Later the day, we plan to go to the beach just to let the children enjoy their Children's Day.

Besides, Children's Day today it is also Hari Raya Puasa - a public holiday in Singapore. Hari Raya Puasa also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri literally means "Celebration Day of Fasting" is the Malay term for the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr. It is observed by Muslims and they celebrate by feasting, visiting family and friends and decorating their houses.

During the Muslim month of Ramadan leading up to Hari Raya, it is mandatory for Muslims to fast from dawn to dusk. All Muslims except the young, old or infirm must fast.

Widely, markets, or 'Ramadan bazaars' are held in many areas around the country, where all sorts of food and kuih — traditional Malay delicacies — are sold for beaking fast or buka puasa.

Delicacies such as ketupat or rice cake and a meat cuisine called rendang are among the most famous cuisines that are served during Hari Raya.

The rest of the day is spent visiting relatives or serving visitors. Hari Raya is a very joyous day for children for this is the day where adults are extra generous. Children will be given token sums of money, also known as duit raya from their parents and elders.

Happy Children's Day !

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri !

{{ God Bless ;D }}
