color of Malaysia

Hello everybody! Ehmm, okay. In this week I suppose to write about color of Malaysia. Actually I don’t know how to tell about it. First of all, based on my knowledge, Malaysia is one of the countries that have many races. For examples, there have Malay, Chinese, Indian and others. Furthermore, Malaysia also has many cultures. For your information, there are several types of cultures in Malaysia. One of them is Malay culture. But now, I want to talk about Malay culture only. This is because I just knew the malay culture right now and its caused I am new here . By the way, in Malaysia we are busy doing prepare of Hari Raya. Before that, Muslim must do fasting a month before celebrating Hari Raya. Fasting means they can’t eat and drink until suns goes down. Actually there have a time limit to eat like usual. Fasting teach them to control our emotion, prepare our physically and also mentally. At night, they do a “ Solat Terawikh” together. After fasting a moth, Muslims celebrate a Hari Raya. Before that, they go to the shopping to buy a colorful of “baju Raya”. In the morning of Hari Raya, Muslims go to the mosque to do a “Solat aidilfitri” together. After that, they visit their relative’s grave with their family and pray for them. Then, after visit it, Muslims will do an “apologies and forgive” each other. After that, they go to visit their relatives and also go to the open house. Its so awesome! The adults give “duit raya” to children. I was remembered when I was at 8 years old, I got many “duit raya” from my relatives. It’s so fabulous! During Hari Raya, I ate “rendang”, “ketupat”, “dodol” and so on. It’s so very delicious.

In addition, Malay also celebrates “hari raya aidiladha”. Hari Raya Aidiladha is similar with Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Hari Raya Aidiladha means a scarified to do something that very important to our life. Based on Hari Raya Aidiladha, its make them realize and grateful with what their have before. On Hari Raya Aidiladha, Muslims will slaughter cow or goat to give for poor person around them. As usual, before that, Muslims go to the mosque to do “solat sunat Aidiladha”. After that, the slaughter will happen. Besides celebrating the Hari Raya, Malay also has a “dikir barat”. It is form Kelantan. Hence, they also have “kuda kepang” from Johor, and also “Boria dance” from Penang. In the other hand, Malay have their own, clothes . For example, for men they wear “Baju Melayu” and for women, they wear “Baju Kurung” and also “ Baju Kebaya”. Actually they wear their own clothes during hari raya that I mentioned before. It’s so interesting!!! I hate five “Baju Melayu” before this. Furthermore, Malay also has very delicious meals. For examples, there have “Nasi Lemak” “Nasi Campur” and also “Nasi Ambang”. Besides that, Malay has many types of “Kuih-muih” as well. One of them are Doughnut and also Curry Puff. It’s so very delicious and it always makes me replete. Based on my knowledge, Malay also has a very wonderful drink that is “Teh Tarik” for those who drink this, it will make them fresh and cool.
