It's Eid Mubarak in Dubai tomorrow, a day earlier than Singapore and M'sia.

Hence, the early wishes from Dad in Dubai Alkaramah.

Just reading and replying his message brought tears to my eyes ... there'll be no one to look forward to wait from solat in the morning of Raya to have our breakfast of lontong, lodeh and rendang with, no one to advise what samping to wear with his baju kurung, no one to help pick out fried onions from the peanuts for.

And for the first time in my entire life, I wouldn't be able to kiss his hand to seek forgiveness ...

It's so tough for us, but it has to go on ... I will give anything in the world to be able to visit him there, even only for a while ...

And she waves goodbye...
