Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri

Raya is coming. And this is the second time my family and I will be celebrating it away from home :-(

I do miss miss my parents and my siblings but I have to make do with what I have here. Well I have no reason to be unhappy as my kids and my missus are still besides me during this joyous occasion with the exception of my eldest princess who is boarding back home of course.

Anyway I came up with this pantun raya versi nusantara (sorry no indonesian as I cant speak the language). I have to admit some of them I plagiarized from the Internet but some I created my own..

Brunei…
Makan ambuyat cacah binjai,
Bersama lauk rumahan salai,
Jangan belanja raya sehingga lalai
Karang sampai rumah tergadai

Labuan:
ku idang kuih kan biskita,
bukannya tah kali diliat nganya,
di malam raya memasang pelita,
hati happy bis liaunya.

Sabah
Orang Papar suka bedundang bah,
Mengkali memang keturunan Barunai kali ah,
Baru ku tau sana banyak sudara ku bah,
Di raya ane, balum tah ku ta agai ne nah,

Singapura..
Minah ku shopping di Geylang Serai
Hendak membeli sehelai selendang,
Di raya ni janganlah bercerai-cerai
Kita kan melayu bangsa yang tenang

Sarawak…
Anak manok terciak ciak,
Situk lepas sia pun sik boleh,
Tegal mengenang urang yang jaoh
raya klak kamek ngidang kek lapis sarawak, boleh?

Kelantan…
Make ikke cicoh budu
Jange lupo tamboh satar?
Kelik rayo taksir laju
Nanti rayo dale sepita

Terengganu…
Makang ubi jamang jepong
Makang kepok cicoh cuke
Bulang pose mung bengong
Bulang raye mung suke

Pahang…
Sepadan Pahang ada kasino
Nasi dagang ikan patin
Jange mu masam muko
Raya makan rendang sadin

Johor…
Cegitu cegini awak suke
Awak suke kite tak suke
Esok luse hari raye
Sama-sama bersuke rie

Melaka…
Hawau kau berak merate
Kaki bengkak ulau patok
Kalu balik naik kerete
Jangan pandu kalau ngantok

N. Sembilan…
Masak lomak cili api
Campo dongan ! daun turi
Hari rayo kolumpo sopi
Tinggal penyamun dongan pencuri
(org kolumpo jgn kocik ati!!)

Selangor/K.Lumpur…
Wa cakap lu wa tak tau
Tapi wa tipu sama lu
Raya jangan buat tak tau
Angpau ada bagi gua dulu

Perak…
Gulai tempoyak ikan mayong
Deroyan busok tebok tupai
Pandu hemat ingat kampong
Asal teman selamat sampai

SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR BATIN

Huffington Post: Who's Afraid of Shariah?

 

		Who's Afraid of Shariah?
	How many of those anti-Islam protesters holding "No Sharia Law" signs (as if anyone were advocating shariah law in the U.S.) actually know what the word means? I'd say, oh, none.
