Raya Qurban

It was on the morning of 8 December 2008 (Mon), I have fully charged my batteries and armed myself with a camera to go to town and try to catch whatever is left, if any, of the massive display of "Ketupat" and "Lemang" on sale at the central market.


I usually have a camera with me on Sunday where ever I go but was thinking that I have other matters to attend to so I just left it at home......what a scene at the market and I missed it all..... so in order to salvage whatever was left, I decided to return the next day....but as I was going out and passing by my housing estate mosque ...wow ! it was crowded and I end up there instead of going to the central market..........



This year, I saw 6 cows, 1 buffalo and a goat were donated and by far the most in their record, I was told .

The buffalo was the most difficult to subdue as it was the most fiercest of all and chased after the spectators when it breaks off from its securing rope.

Cowboys of the East........It rained the night before so the area becomes muddy and messy....


After the events, I still went to the town central market, but all the stalls have closed for the holidays......
