Oh, yes! I can't wait for raya. Will I get duit raya? It's impossible, right, because I'm already 21. Duit raya is for kids. But I really look forward for duit raya.
And I just bought a skirt for raya. A long skirt. It use jeans material. I can't believe I can wear a skirt with my size.
I just hope this year's raya will be a blast!
This year's raya is on the 31st of August! Same day with Malaysian Independence Day! That mean this year is Raya-Merdeka Celebration! How great is that?
On hari raya, if you meet eyes with Malays, say Selamat Hari Raya to them! Maybe they will bring you to a open house next time you meet.
p/s: Hey, guys! Malaysia is in independence for 54 years! Merdeka! Selamat Hari Raya!
For those who doen't know what is Hari Raya.
