Memories strike back again when I saw these 'pelita'.... Ayah will usually put on a few on the fence...so that we could play 'bunga api' and all those 'mercun'...and as usual Ayah will be the gang leader of this event..It may sounds funny but Ayah and mercun are like inseparable...
BUT that can never beat the straight line of 'pelitas' in mbah's kampung...One week before raya..my uncles and cousins will be damn busy...finding and preparing sticks to hangover the pelita....the best part was to fill in the gasoline and lit the pelitas' line...which was like 1 km long....and then we would lit our 'bunga api'...and ran as fast as we could from one point to the other before the fire burnt down.....
ohh..all of a sudden i felt mushy...I'm just missing those moments...

Anyway..I'm thinking of putting these at my apartment this year since rania has grown up...she needs to understand and live the traditional malay culture...
