I've been aching to write my raya post but I decided to restrain myself and write it at the end of the raya month so I could compile all the events in one single post knowing that it is going to be a lengthy one and no one would probably read it but it is more convenient aaanndd stop babbling.
1. This Year's Theme Colour
Forgive le plump face. I just have naturally really chubby cheeks. Yes you guessed it(even if you didn't you know just by looking -.-), this year's theme colour is black.
Every year the theme colour decider(?) rotates from the oldest which is le dad to the youngest and this year it was my brother's choice and well, he really wanted black. No it wasn't because he was a dude and he doesn't know what colour to pick. But honestly I can't complain. I'm a huge fan of the colour myself and I was more than happy to be donning such a beautiful colour on the first day of eid.
As I scrolled through my instagram throughout the day, blue seems to be the theme colour of the year. More than half of the instagram photos of different friends and families in my instagram were wearing blue and I couldn't help but feel VERY VERY happy that we went for a colour that rarely make an appearance on eid.
2. Alea's Birthday/Blood Sisters' Raya 2014
I better give the explanation before the photos for this one. So Alea's birthday coincidentally fell on the 5th of Syawal so we thought why not just do a 2 in 1 and celebrate all at once. Blood Sister's Raya celebration AND Alea's 20th. Since it is raya and we still need a theme for Alea's bday, we decided to go with traditional batik.
Honestly this has been the best part of my raya, celebrating with them. Ever since I entered USM I've forgotten when's the last time I laughed that much, talked about things of no actual importance and bitch about people who used to do us wrong back in high school and ya know, feel like how I was before I enrolled in USM. Whole and content.
Bday Girl's most delicious mud cake.
Have a great 20 chika. Let's have a great celebration next year too.
3. Ayah's Birthday
Forgive me if I may seem like a bad daughter, but I don't exactly remember how old my dad is turning into this year. 50 maybe? 51? Hmm. Anyway, we celebrated his birthday by bringing him to Concorde Hotel Shah Alam for all you can eat lunch buffet. And seriously, I've forgotten the last time I was given sooo many delicious food choices. And devour EVERYTHING. They have noodle, raw salmon, bread/butter stuff, lamb, roasted chicken oh and the dessert section is just oh god so yummy. Chocolate fountain, ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate crumbles. AMAZING. Ceh dah lama x makan best, camni la excited dia. -.-
Happy birthday dad. Hoping you had a great one.
4. Meteoras' Raya Celebration
Probably my final big event for this year's raya but one of my most anticipated one as well since I rarely meet this beauties. So we gathered at Bat's open house and later that day we went to Ismah's open house. Unfortunately Shades couldn't come and I came too late so I wasn't able to meet Jibah. All's good though. Still had a great time.
At Bat's
At Ismah's
And that wraps up my raya folks!
God such a lame ending
