SELAMAT HARI RAYA !

On the way home, I swung by my sister's . She was looking through her collection of antique Hari Raya Cards. I mean, the Islamic year dates back to 13.. something and I can't really figure out how long ago that was.

Any way , she told me that she bought them either in Muar or Kuala Kangsar when she found them in a box and they bought the whole lot.  I spent sometime looking through them. What an amazing collection !!

Ohhh...note the old spelling system !

So this year, no electronic cards, nothing from the Yahoo image collection --- but straight from yesteryears----I send you my Raya greetings. ( lots of thanks to ASH )


 
  
  
  
Now  this next one is rather 'christmasy' to me but it gives us a glimse of the past. To me the words "joy and peace" gave it away !

...and since we're at it, I know its three months away , but here's an old Christmas card with Malaysian touch .
!

well........have a good and safe Raya everyone !

What's wrong with the old spelling system eh? Us dinosaurs prefer them. Looks like the last card fell into a drain or a victin of a bomb explosion during the Japanese invasion. Look after them - they'll be worth a lot of yen.
And Selamat Hari Raya to all visitors to this blog.
