Cov-eid 19 Celebration

-
By: Nur 'Inayah Hanif Salihudin (Additional Assignment Plus 1)

This year's eid is so much different than any other eid I have ever experienced with my family and I am saying this not because of the MCO but due to the fact that my grandmother is not here with us this year and my grandfather's health is also not in the best condition. Because my "kampung" is not really in "kampung" and we do not have to cross the state, all my family members had the chance to come over to celebrate eid together but with precautions, of course. We have come up with our own family SOP before visiting my grandfather's house. It is a new experience but a memorable one, indeed. 



We started our day as early as 8 am in the morning to perform "takbir raya" followed by "solat raya berjemaah" with all my family members. Then, us granddaughters will collect "duit raya" from the family members. Surprisingly, I still have the chance to collect "duit raya" eventhough I am already 24 years old. The dishes that were served are all home-cooked by the wonderful chefs in the family, my mom, sisters and aunties. We had Nasi Impit, Lemang, Rendang Ayam, Kuah Kacang, Sambal Udang, Lodeh, Kari Ayam and varieties of Kuih Raya. I am drooling just by typing out all the delicious meals that were served. Due to the fact that we could not visit our relatives, we just stayed at home, took a nap and continue eating until the rest of the day.




However, this eid feels a little bit different but brought a big impact to our family. My brother and his wife could not come back and celebrate eid with us as they are doctors and had to serve as a frontliners to fight COVID-19. The house also felt a little bit quieter without my grandmother, who passed away last year. Al-fatihah. Sadly, a week after eid, my grandfather also has passed away. This year is a very sad year, indeed but I am grateful that my grandparents are now happier together right now, insyaAllah. May Allah bless their souls and grant them the highest jannah. Amin.

THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK NEWS This article was posted on The New York Times . It posted here by Farah Hanim for educational purposes only. By Katie Rogers and Annie Karni As his administration grapples with reopening the economy and responding to the coronavirus crisis, President Trump worries about his re-election and how the news media is portraying him. President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television. He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing. He makes calls with the TV on in the background, his routine since he first arrived at the White House. But now there are differences. The president sees few allies no matter which channel he clicks. He is angry even with Fox, an old security blanket, for not portraying him as he wou...

By: Nur 'Inayah It’s a confusing time for all of us, but more so for children and pets who may not be able to fathom why life is on pause. One dejected dog who’s stuck indoors is especially upset by the lockdown. Three-year-old dog Big Poppa was snapped looking crestfallen as he watched two children play outside from his balcony. A picture of the dejected dog was shared by owner Rashida Ellis, 38, a costume designer from Atlanta, Georgia, on Twitter. It has since blown up online, attracting the likes of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and even Ellen DeGeneres. She tweeted: ‘Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building. He just watches them from the patio.’ The tweet has more than 600,000 likes, with many wishing they could play with Big Poppa. Maisie Williams wrote: ‘Not being dramatic but I would literally die for Big Poppa,’ meanwhile Ellen used the opportunity to remind people the importance of social distancing. ‘Stay insid...
