Thursday, December 20, 2007 /I will Survive:DD

Annyeong~
I'm ALIVE!!still breathing...Yep!and Healthy...Check!PHEW!!I just went through the most horrible thingexperience
WAITT!!Before I tell you more I would like to wish 'SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA' to all muslims:)
Now on to the main point,
today's Aidiladha and usually the event that takes place today is the slaughtering(more like guillotine). This year's different as i have to take part in the slaughtering and watch the poor 'kerbau' get slaughtered(guillotined!!) and i really don't want to watch---but what am i to do as it was a korban made in my name and Aizat's--I HAD TO GO~
My family and I except Arina went to the korban ground which was eventually at the Pandan 7 housing area where I usually go to Raya. I met up with a fe w familiar faces there--hmm..there was Safwan and his fam, Khairunnisa(Junior) and fam, Nafeesah and fam and etc. There were also AJKs from the Pandan mosque to carry out the guillotineslaughtering. There were 4 'kerbaus' altogether and my name was under kerbau no.3 so i had to wait and watch all the 3 slaughterings.
Steps taken:
1-Tie the kerbau's feet and pull to let them lie on the groud(the first kerbau when it was pulled to lie down it kicked and I think it was scared(who doesn't??)because it started to poop..hehe
2-a hole is dug for the Umm..BLOOD!!Aaaahhh!Then it's guillotine slaughtering time. two kerbaus at a time. I didn't know that the Kerbau can't watch the other Kerbau being slaughtered and there was like a tablecloth placed in between the two.
3-I can't bear to watch!it's slaughtering time. Poor kerbaus...it makes me want to go there and throw myself on them saying,"Noo..Cut me instead!!". Don't freak out..I didn't do it. As soon as they slaughtered..Blood flowed out of the Kebaus' necks like a waterfall and the air soon smelt of blood. It was an awful seeing the Kerbaus struggle as soon as they were slaughtered. Tey were still alive and trying their hardest to breathe while blood continued coming out from their necks. Everyone called out "Allahu Akbar" everytime it breathed. I especially felt pity fo the 2nd kerbau which had the longest struggle to breathe and live until it died. Blood came out from its mouth and it seems like all the kerbaus died with their tongues out. It's as if they were saying Allah before they died. Their eyes were open when they die. It creeps me out when the 1st kerbau seemed to look at me when it died. My mum even joked on why Kerbaus have very white and straight teeth. During the time of the slaughtering for the 3rd Kerbau(my kerbau) I can't bear to watch and hid behind Alimin the whole time except my mum said that i need to watch the first blood of the kerbau touch te ground and so i did watch it. I didn't see the cutting (My dad took pictures of it..I don't want to post it here) but i did see the first blood. At least my kerbau died not soon after the slaughter so it didn't struggle so much. It's over Thank goodness because I can't stand it anymore. I wanted to cry but i held back my tears and told my mum that i wanted to have a drink instead of watching the final slaughter. I can't believe I eat their meat the whole time...Okay..I'm not turning into a vegetarian. NO WAYYY!!!

I went to Bandar that night and watched 'National Treasure, Book of Secrets' at the Empire. It was awesome. It's funnier than the first one. Riley has to be the favourite actor there because he was soo funny for the whole movie!

Fav scenes:

-All of Riley's parts(REALLY!!)

-When Ben kept talking about history to the police

-When Ben's parents met

-Car chase esp when Riley wanted to drive and went in the left side to hold the steering wheel but instead Ben had the wheel because it was London where their steering wheels are on th right side.

-President's Oval room

-Ben and Abigail's fight

Rate-5 out of 5 hearts

When i went back which was around 12.00mn. I slept straight away and eventually woke at around 4?and couldn't sleep all because of I was scared of the memory of slaughtering..Yep. It haunted me just thinking about it......Hope i'll forget all about it soon..Please do~
