Eidul Fitri Celebration

The Eidul FItri Celebration in East Lansing was held on Monday, October 24th 2006. Fortunately, Reza found a sub to teach his morning class where he should have teached that day. So he could join the Idul Fitr prayer in Islamic Center. We woke up early that day and had some light meal and I fried some shrimp crackers for our potluck Idul Fitr feast (as I was already asked to bring). The weather was so cold that we need to wear warm outfits so that we could stay warm. After prayer we are headed to Mbak Ririn`s house where we had the feast together with Malaysian moslems.

Although I still miss the atmosphere of Idul Fitri in Indonesia which I believe would have been so different (it would have been so sacred yet in the same time so festive), I am still happy that I didnt have to spend the day alone, we get together in a family-like feast, and one more important thing that should be grateful upon: the GULE KAMBING (Indonesian Lamb Curry) was soooo delicious.
