EID MUBARAK

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1443H 

May your day filled with Allah's endless blessings and  forgiveness.

The Frakarsas is sending warm greetings to those celebrating the Eid Al Fitr, the victorious day, after one month of Ramadhan. We sincerely hope we will be able to meet the next Ramadhan. As for this auspicious day, we trust our sisters and brothers are celebrating it with joy and happiness with their loved ones.

My daughter and I 

It is the first time for my family and I to celebrate this Eid Al Fitr in Wellington, New Zealand. As much as we miss our dearest family in Indonesia, we are happy to celebrate it with our new family in Wellington. Meeting many lovely  friends from different corners of the city (as well as the country), we definitely expand our sisterhood and brotherhood eventhough we are far away from home. 

This Lebaran day festivity is organized by UMI or Umat Muslim Indonesia, the Indonesian Moslem community organization, in Wellington. I will definitely share more stories of our gathering as well as our 'open house' session on the next story.

Kami sekeluarga mengucapkan mohon maaf lahir dan batin.

Semoga kita semua bisa kembali pada fitrah kita dan terus menjaga semangat Ramadhan dalam keseharian dan hidup kita. Hanya pada-Nya kita berserah dan memohon yang terbaik.

Idul Fitri kali ini menjadi  momen pertama  Lebaran yang kami rayakan di Wellington, Selandia Baru, bersama keluarga besar WNI di sini. Ada banyak haru, keceriaan dan kebahagiaan yang ada. Nanti aku share ya dalam cerita berikutnya, termasuk kehebohan open house lebaran yang aku lakukan di Wellington.

Cheers from Wellington

WW: Eid Al-Fitr Family Photos

Cheers from the Frakarsas and our big family!

One of the traditions during Eid Al-Fitr celebration is the family portraits. Well, under ideal and normal circumstances most of us will us this auspicious occasion to gather with the complete big family. That is why the family portrait is pack and parcel with this happy day. It wasn't really a fancy session as we only use our phones to take these pictures. These days we all want to be practical, right! 

the feast!

So we took our phones and set it on the tripod. connecting the clicker, we have series of photos taken in seconds.

WW: Eid AL-Fitr is Coming!

Eid AL-Fitr is Coming!

The end of Ramadhan is near and we are preparing for Eif Al-Fitr.

Just like last year, we are still observing Ramadhan and celebrating Eid AL-Fitr, the victory day, in COVID -19 environment. As many of us have been vaccinated and with strict health protocol being observed, this year we will be able to actually pray in the mosque with physical distancing and mask on.

This year, for the first time, insya Allah we will celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with my mom and my brothers in Jakarta. It was really a blessing as last year we celebrated it separately in Jakarta and Lampung, as we couldn't go home due to the extra restriction during the pandemic. This year is similar, but my brother manages to come to Jakarta and stays for a while.

Anyway, here's a little preparation we made before the Eid. We cleaned the house, rearranged things, cooked special food for Eid, and sent hampers to family and friends. It was always fun indeed!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Lebaran Day!

Lebaran Day is here!

How wonderful it is, and slightly somber for us since we are not going back home. We are happy that we have given the opportunity to forge ourselves into better beings during the holy month of Ramadhan and ended it up with Eid Al-Fitr. The festivities are in the air although we are mostly staying at home as Large Scale Social Restriction or PSBB is still in place. 

But as I wrote in Eid Mubarak, Eid Mubarak, we still enjoy Eid Al-Fitr. Even on the third day of Lebaran, which is usually still part of our annual leave, we are officially (and virtually) back to the office. Well, we are getting ready for the 'new normal.' Hope everything can be safely planned and done.

Meanwhile, our friends and families in the US is celebrating the Memorial Day. It's like the heroes' day in Indonesia, where we celebrated the lives and sacrifices our heroes, the fallen soldiers and others who have fought against the colonialization. May they all rest in peace.

And now, Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends is ready to welcome you all.

I would like to take a moment to Thank and Remember all our fallen soldiers of Military, there have been countless lives lost in the pursuit of keeping America safe at home. God Rest their souls!
