In 2025, Eid al-Fitr fell on March 31.
While I am not a Muslim, I live in a majorly-Muslim country, so Eid al-Fitr is a major event. Every year, the leader of my state, referred to as the Chief Minister, hosts an open house on Eid al-Fitr where everyone can attend, with free meals and music performances available. Fun fact, in Malaysia, Eid al-Fitr is commonly referred to its Malay name, Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa, even when speaking English.
When the Chief Minister of my state hosts a open house for Eid al-Fitr, we would attend for a free lunch. Unsurprisingly, the free meals have always attracted a lot of people. Unfortunately, as an autistic person, I do not do particularly well in crowds as I am sensitive to loud sounds and my mind is rather easy to be overwhelmed by an unpredictable environment.
-On top of that, my visual disabilities, especially with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) weakening my peripheral vision, seeing and navigating my surroundings becomes more challenging in a large crowd. In fact, this year also marked my first visit to the Chief Minister's Eid al-Fitr open house since I got diagnosed with RP. During this visit, I tripped on a makeshift stair because I could not see the edge of the stars clearly.

As for the food, I took char kway teow, biryani, cendol, glutinous rice and watermelon.
March 31 was also the International Transgender Day of Visibility. As a queer person, I noticed the interesting coincidence of Trans Day of Visibility and Eid al-Fitr fell on the same day in 2025.
On Leilukin's Hub, one of the ways I use JavaScript on my website is make the header display a top bar and changes the header background on certain days, including LGBTQ+-related events such as Trans Day of Visibility. For Trans Day of Visibility, my header background changed to the transgender pride flag, and the top bar linked to Many Genders One Voice's Trans Day of Visibility page. This setup was inspired by KOTOR Community Portal.
