Chico The Bull for our Qurban

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha (Eid-ul-Adha) and Merry Christmas!

We spent our ‘Hari Raya Haji’ in Kedah and Penang since Thursday, 20 Dec until Monday, 24 Dec and spent Christmas Holiday back home in Kinrara lazing around.

Going back home to our parents’ was total bliss. We hardly do anything but feasting all day and night. Both my mom and Azman’s mom made sure that we had table full of food to eat every 30 minutes. The more we eat the more they would cook for us. I do not know how much I weight these days. I am too afraid to step on the scale.

On the third day of Aidiladha, we flocked with Azman’s parents and sister to Tok Bandar Mosque in Baling, Kedah for Qurban.This is our first time to carry out the act of Qurban (sacrifice) and it is a wonderful feeling. With God’s willing we will definitely do it again.

“It is neither their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah, it is your piety that reaches Him”.
(Al Qur’an, Ch:22 v:37)

Eight bulls were slaughtered on that day and the meat was distributed to the poor and needy.

Chico and friends

This is Chico. I named him Chico 10 minutes before he went to heaven. He was really cute. Have I mentioned that he was also really awesome in the ‘sup tulang’ that we had for dinner that night? Hehe!

Thats Chico being slaughtered. I didn’t watch. Was sure I was gonna freak out or at least burst out crying.
