Alhamdulillah, praise be to Allah, for this year's Eidul-fitr we managed to gather the whole family together; three sons, a daughter, a daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. It's not easy for us to get together since 2 sons (daughter-in-law and grandchildren, too) are in Australia, one in Egypt and the rest of us in Malaysia. In my previous entry, I had written about our journey from Sydney to Adelaide, reaching our destination about 4 days before Eid. We flew home the third day of Syawal. Here are some pics of our stay in Adelaide:
