I was feeling sorry for my cousin who had to bring his econs notes to all the house visiting and the younger ones who were dead tired and have to go to school the next day. The timing this year for Hari Raya, isnt student friendly at all, i must say.
For once, I wasnt even so hyped up on what to wear especially when my brother realized his baju kurung was too short only on the morning of Raya! ( which, even my mom the seamstress cant do much to help!)
I didnt panic or anything( It's a miracle I tell you!!) and went to the closet to pick out something from yearssss back... to be exact 6 years back!
Heez.. i can still fit into a kebaya which i wore when i was 15!

See! i even wore it for my Sec 4 Racial Harmony Day( gosh i miss my sec 4 buddiess!)
Finally, a shot taken just yesterday, 1st October 2008. At the EXACT same spot taken in 2002!
In a kiddy candid way, this shows the element in Hari Raya that touches me alot. Seeking Forgiveness.
This year Raya was all about forgiving.. After all the emotional drama that went in the family since my grandfather was admitted to the hospital and given his condition now, we are greatful to still be a close-knit family.

To all celebrating Hari Raya, I wish you a Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin
