2 hours before iftar, playing L4D2.

all praise be to allah swt, the ramadhan went well with me. i ended my iftar just now with tomorrow's dish.
so i would like to thank my family, my friend, my cats, ermm WHAT?! sorry but i think i have IED.
i noticed that malaysia have a very weird culture when it comes to aidilfitri. whenever i switch on the tv or radio or anything, mesti wajib ada lagu or cite sedih.
i remember someone told me that it is a sin to be sad on aidilfitri because it is suppose to be a celebration of completing the ramadhan month. not a day for us to be sad at all.
why im frustrated over this is because it gives a bad image to islam. if kat tv or radio pasang iklan, movie or lagu sedih2, what would ppl from other religion think of us? 'ini apa pasal mau sedih? bukan kena enjoy ka?!'
typical malay. still being obsess over their race. dah bawak culture melayu in islam.

from what i notice, i never saw any chinese new year or deepavali advertisement yang sedih2.
plus we're suppose to celebrate aidiladha more grand. kat malaysia sini, biasa je.

takbir raya pun tune sedih.
listen to what im gonna say here, islam is not a religion for malay only.
islam is a religion for all, EVERYONE! tak kira malay, chinese, indian, vietnamese, irish, german, everyone here in malaysia and the whole world.
so jgn nak masukkan kita puna ke-streotype-an into our beloved religion.


nak main mercun smpi putus jari pun takpe. janji enjoy. if nak sedih2 nangis mintak maaf, takyah raya je senang.

maybe its time for us, malaysian, to change our mind setting.
its not because we're malay or chinese or indian but because of how we think.
whether we're a good or bad person is not because of our race or religion but because of our lack of humanity.

happy aidilfitri.

currently, listening to rage against the machine's tire me
