Activity on Eid al-Fitr

Eid Fitri is the victory day for the Moslem after fasting during one month. I would tell about my activity on the first day on Eid Fitri.
I woke up at 05.30 a.m, then I di Subh prayer. After praying, I swept the floor and mopped it. After that I also swept in the yard. While my sister washed the clothes and washed the dishes. At 07.00 a.m I went to Mosque with my family to do the Eid prayer. On the journey to go to the mosque, we got the information that my mother’s cousin died. We were so sad to hear that. After doing Eid prayer, my family and I went to Banda Aceh to my mother’s cousin house. We went there about 10.00 a.m. We arrived there at 00.30 p.m. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to see the corpse, we were late. Even, his son also could not see him for the last time because he arrived in Banda Aceh same with us. He lived in Sabang, so very difficult to be ontime. We were there until 03.15 p.m. Then, I went to my uncle’s house with my family to have lunch and did Ashr prayer there.
At 5.30 p.m, we went back to our village. But, we also came to my uncle’s and grandmother’s house in Indrapuri. We arrived there at 06.00 p.m until 07.30 p.m. I was very happy to meet my grandmother, my uncles, and my cousins. But, unfortunately we could not spend much time together because it was night and we should continue our journey to our village. Actually, we planned to went to my grandmother’s house on the third day of Eid Fitri. But, because of there was calamity so that we came on that day. After doing Maghrib prayer, we went back and arrived at 10.00 p.m. Then, I did Isya prayer and then went to bed.
It was very tired day because everything occured without plan. However, it also was happy because I met my family in Indrapuri. That’s my daily activity on the first day of Eid Fitri.

Summary of 'The Enchanting Music of Sign Language' by Christine Sun Kim

French sign language was brought to America during the early 1800s and as time went by mixed with local signs, it evolved into the language we know today as ASL.

She started to learn how to draw every single stroke for each character in the correct sequenced. She learned new characters every day. A chinese scholar would understand 20000 characters. We only need 1000 to understand the basic literacy. The top 200 will allow us to comprehend 40% of basic literature. However, Shao started with eight. When we open our mouth as wide as possible until it’s square, so we get the ‘mouth’. Drawing a person who is going for a walk, we get ‘person’.
