It's been a while since the last entry i've posted here; today would like to share the photos snapped during the recent Eid-ul-Adha festival,which falls on Sunday (6/11/2011).
During the moment this photo was snapped,the rest of the cows hasn't arrived yet.
Khutbah (Sermon) in session,shortly after the Eid Prayers.
Tahlil (Rememberance Prayers for the Deceased) ceremony after the khutbah.
Breakfast at the Surau Compound,after the Tahlil Prayers.
Shortly afterwards,We returned home,and heads to my late Aunt residence,before paying our respects to the deceased family members at the Sibu Muslim Cemetery.
At the Sibu Muslim Cemetery.Al Fatihah to all Muslims throughout the world who had gone before us.
After that,We all back to our residence,as I was about to take part in the Qurban (Sacrifice) ceremony today,so I've decided to take a short break before returning to the Surau compound.
Upon the arrival at the Surau compound,situation was a bit hectic as one cow has escaped during the unloading process.However,as all the gates at the Surau was closed down (in order to prevent the cow from escaping,it only roams throughout the area,and all people within the Surau compound are on high alert; as should they let their guards down,anything worse can happen.Below are the photos:
This is the cow I've mentioned above; Check out the commotion on the short video recorded by me below:
The commotion during the attempt to re-capture the cow.
Situation are still hot; as many were on high alert,fearing that it may ram its way through the canopy where all of us were busy cutting the meat.
Head of the 2 Cows slaughtered earlier.These were one of the Cow's part to be highly sought after (including the tail)
Meats ready to be distributed
Cow's skin,anyone? This one tastes good if it's cooked alongside with Yam's stalk (we called it Masak Sayur Keladi)
First time for me; Yay!
The event itself was ended around 1700-1730hrs; and afterwards,all members of the Qurban ceremony began cleaning the compound,burying the slaughtered cow organs,and other things as well. As a token of appreciation for helping out the cleaning of the area,the Surau committee gives another pack of meat,thus I'll be bringing home 2 packs of meat!
Overall,the meats weights around 5kg (rough estimate);while my eldest brother also bring home meats as well (including goat meat).After the first-time experience,I am looking forward to join the event again next year!
