Last day of Syawal always brings this melancholy feeling in me. It's just like the last day of Ramadhan. Spiritually, you have in one way or another made peace with yourself. But normally, you're so caught up with Hari Raya plans that you didn't quite sit back and reflect. Unlike the last day of Syawal where it's just like any other day.
This year, the last day of Syawal somehow brought me back to the period between 1993 to 1996. Dearest 925 would, without fail call me on the last day just to wish Selamat Hari Raya and seek forgiveness for his past doings. It was hard to take it as a joke when he's so damn serious in sending his message across. Syawal 97 however was slightly different. He called me on the first day.
That was the last time I received any hari raya wishes from one of the most memorable character I have ever come across in my life. The one that left such a great impact, I still do get that adrenaline rush just thinking about him these days.
