Some of the things I did for raya:
Putting up the curtains all on my own again – nvm, next year my bros will have to do without me. Baru padan muka!
Standing at the kitchen sink for hours on end peeling off prawn shells and chopping up slimy chicken parts – I wont be doing this next year!
Ironing my bros’ baju kurung to wear for 1st day – takpelah, since it’ll be the last time I’m doing this for them anyway.
It is liberating, yet somewhat strange and sad, going about the tasks leading up to raya knowing that it will be the last time you’re doing them as a single daughter living in the house.
This time next year, I’ll be somebody’s wife.
I’ll be preparing for raya in my own house.
I’ll be cooking my own dishes, with help from him of course (or rather..i’ll be helping him!!).
I’ll be the grown-up one, no longer having the luxury to hide behind my parents’ backs.
I’ll be different. Or will I stay the same?
It is not too late to wish you all Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. May you be blessed with the company of your loved ones, InsyaAllah. Kalau ada yang tersilap kata, terkasar bahasa, terguris rasa, maafkanlah kita ye.
And to my dear frens, I take this opportunity to seek forgiveness for the wrongs that I’ve done. Let us be friendlier, nicer and more accommodating this time round yah. Jalan raya anyone? I’ve tons of leave to clear… :P
