Raya prep

Is it just me, or does it feel like Ramadhan only started like 2 hours ago? Time just whizzed by, man. Suddenly we all have just a week left till Raya. Is this even real?!

I trust that everyone's getting their Raya preparations underway by now. I literally just realised that I have none of my outfits ready with me. A skirt is with my tailor, two outfits are sent for alteration, and I'm still waiting for my last-minute parcel from Zalora. *low-key panics* (Yeah, I have four sets of outfits this year. Is this a normal number? Anyone???)

Actually the initial plan was to have just one new outfit for the first morning of Raya (because it's sunnah to have a new outfit for the first day!) and just recycle my old outfits for the other days. Because, well, I keep on getting new outfits for Raya and only wear them once or twice, and then they just stay in my wardrobe – because hello, who wears a nice baju kurung/dress on a normal day??? There are no nice events for me to attend and dress up for. I've been volunteering to go to weddings with my parents but they always halau me hahaha so how leh? And none of my friends are getting married yet! Ugh. Guys please just hurry up and kahwin and invite me to your wedding okay, some of my baju kurungs and dresses need some serious lovin'. If nothing comes up in the near future, I might just wear my baju kurung to the mall one day. Or, you know, dress up to watch TV at home. Which sort of reminds me of three of my favourite girlfriends:


So guys. Please.

Anyway, getting back on track........... So yeah. Supposedly just one new outfit. But then one thing led to another (doesn't it always?), and tadaaaaaaa: now I have four. Hehe. It's alright. I'll try again next year. InsyaAllah.

I can't wait to see everyone looking glam and handsome in their Raya outfits! Ladies in baju kurungs and men in baju Melayu's and sampin(g)s? Yes, please!

Have a good preparation guys, but don't forget to utilise these last few nights of Ramadhan fully! xx
