No class for today since it is a holiday of Eid Ul-Adha or we called it "Aidil Adha" in Malay. This is a the feast of sacrifice celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram in place once Ibrahim demonstrated his willingness to follow God's commands.
That is a little bit of history behind the celebration of Eid Ul-Adha which is annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Zulhijjah in Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid Ul-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide. Besides that, Muslims who can afford to do so offer domestic animals, usually cow or goat, as a symbol of Ibrahim's sacrifice. The meat is distributed for consumption to family, friends, and to the poor and needy.

So, I'm taking this opportunity to wish all Muslims out there, Happy Eid Ul-Adha and may we always have the love and peace. By the way, I've created and designed my Eid Ul-Adha e-card just for all of you guys. In addition, it can increase my skills in using Adobe Photoshop. Hehe.. So, till we meet again. Daa~
