It's half day at work today with Raya songs blaring in the office, you could practically sniff the joyous occassion in the air. It became quite infectious since everyone at work is in festive mood, I am taking a bit of time from work to pen this.
Tomorrow is Syawal, abit surreal since I did not get to enjoy Ramadan to its fullest. Not to mention I still have like a million of other errands to run today. It's a mad rush but let's hope I get everything done. The first thing I will do is to drive down to Far East Flora later on to buy fresh flowers for home. A routine I am happy to repeat for the past couple of years! Something about fresh flowers on the first day of Raya makes everything at home a complete picture.
My past weekend had been fruitful. I went last minute shopping with mama to get the things I haven't had the time to do in advance. Everything is in moderation this year, I was able to comfort myself by slashing certain things from the list that was not necessary. Only one thing, ok wait there is 2 things actually that I was not able to forgo was shoes and my hair. I bought myself 2 pairs of shoes last weekend, I am so crazy about heels! And this is coming from someone who rarely wear heels on daily basis. The other thing is of course my hair. I finally got it done yesterday, my hair was in a huge mess for the past months. Loving it now but let me assure you it is nothing fancy. My dark knight was lucky he was the first to preview it last night.
And speaking of the dark knight, this raya is made to be more special. I am feeling so deliriously excited that we are celebrating this together. So, yes in a typical coupledom manner he got himself a matching outfit to go with mine (last minute too yesterday heh).
A brief rundown of my raya preps and it's all been good so far. Except I failed to bake my cookies! That is something I cannot squeeze into my schedule today. Guess I will have to shelf that thought to another day.
Anyways the gist of my entry is to talk all things Raya and at the same time I would like to wish all muslims Salam Lebaran! Maaf Zahir dan Batin!
