My Last Virgin Raya
Friday, June 22, 2018*Warning: Lots of photos ahead*
This year’s Eid-ul-Fitr (Raya) was a quite a new one for me. A new celebration.
But it was quite emotional for me as this will be my so-called-last Raya as a single lady *sobs*
Anyways, the Raya ritual was almost the same for the past 27 years. We went back to Melaka to Tok Mak’s house on the eve of Raya to have our last iftar with the fam bam. This year’s Raya was quite meriah. Around 5 families were present for this year’s Raya and yeah, all of us had to queue for the toilet.
So after everyone finished up Solat Raya, we all queued to salam each other and had photoshoot session (as usual) at the balcony of my Tok Mak’s house.
The usual Raya pose |
there was a grasshopper hopped at my dress thinking I'm a type of plant (?) because its too green-ish |
This year we’ve decided to wear Green but it wasn’t that monotonous Green as its more like rojak Green (maybe my parents got that idea since I’ve joined the Green industry lol)

Managed to see Baby Mo before I left to Jijan |
Then we headed to Jijan during the evening. Also, the number of visitors to my Mak Lang’s house has decreased dearly compared to previous years. Maybe the Raya culture has started to diminish these days and what not..
Raya at Jijan is as usual. Lots of makan makan and we've visited a total number of 7 houses. It was crazy!
Wearing Nurita Harith (which was my engagement dress) and posed with 2 turkeys |

At that night, we sent off my sister to Kuching. Was a bit sad seeing her leaving us too soon.
The visit concluded my Eid-ul-Fitr. So there you go, a simple, moderate Eid celebration, in my opinion. Nothing fancy. Just a day with friends and family.
Let me know about how your raya was! I would love to know how other people celebrate Raya.
Till then, xoxo.
