Hari Raya in 2008 is so significant was when my grandparents and the whole family reunited. My granny was a good cook and she cooked a lot of great dishes. I helped with the cooking, it was not an opportunity I often got — to whip up my granny's special dishes. Now that they are not around anymore, Hari Raya 2008 was an extremely memorable event, etched in the back of my head.
