A Raya Gathering

Last night we invited some friends from Brunei for dinner. It was nice to reconnect again. Today we were invited to a Hari Raya openhouse and this time was hosted by our new Malaysian friend (Family Akmal) who lives in Wassenaar. Indeed the lesser the people are the closer the community has became. We had a bit of a journey finding the house. We completely ignored our GPS Tom -Tom and headed for the centre of Wassenaar. Only then we realised his house was actually quite closeby to ours - less than 5 minutes away!

Wassenaar is a place where there is a large expatriate community of diplomats and business people lives. This is largely because of the location of international schools here such as the American and the British Schools nearby in Voorschoten. Most of the houses are quite big and have nice and large compounds, ideal for hosting an outdoor function. The Hague where most of the embassies are located are just a few minutes drive away.

Today our youngest also came along. The only reason is because his friend was also planning to come as well. His name is also Faris and they are in the same year group - Year 7. It can be quite confusing for the teachers. The kids are now on their mid-term break which starts today. We are planning to do a 'jejak rasul' during the break - watch the space.
