1st Syawal 2014

I am supposed to be in Singapore right now, enjoying myself eating kuih raya and "jalan raya-ing" with family (is there even a meaning for that word?) but yet, I am already stuck in Malaysia.

This year's raya theme for my family is songket (malay traditional clothes). Simple yet sweet to look at. This is how it looks like.
This year, I need to pin a big brooch at the back for ALL OF MY RAYA OUTFITS. I do not know why but somehow the tailor made it so big for me. Even for the skirts as well. Oh why oh why. Unfortunate raya for me I guess.
The complete family candid picture :) Well, everyone is here on 1st Syawal Alhamdulillah. It has been 3 years I guess because some of them are in overseas and busy working. That is why finally we have a complete family photo.
This year's raya would not be awesome if you do not have a family selfie. Well, selfie is pretty much the trend for this year. So why not take a selfie? At first, I thought all of them would not want to take a selfie. Once I shouted "selfie!", everyone smiled. Such a supporting family I have.
This is the kakak-kakak (old sisters) and abang-abang (old brothers). We used to be so small and now here we are. So tall and becoming more prettier and handsome :P jkjk~
Last but not least, this is my own beautiful family photo. For us, formal family photo is so mainstream so this is what we did for this year's raya photo. The 3 ladies in the family. I bet everyone would wonder "where's the father?".

Guess what? This is only the 1st Syawal.
