Raya raya raya!

How to look like a Raya-ian (female version).

Step 1 : Pick a suitable tudung for the outing. If it's going to be cold, a thicker material would be nice. Keep that head warm n fuzzy. XD
I prefer cotton because they're easier to handle, plus they don't go out of shape when you're blasted by a sudden gust of wind.

Step 2 : Make sure the colours get along together. Tudung, baju, kain.

Step 3 : Make up! Never go heavy, unless you know what you're doing. I did a nice, light touch of blue eye-shadow and a thin smudge of dark eye-liner at the edges to enhance the eyes.


Step 4 : Smile, and blush. ^^ Can't see much I guess because I did it real light. Cheekbones, do the cheekbones!


Step 5 : Accesorize! I *ehem* borrowed a leaf-blue crystal oriented necklace which showed under the tudung for a classy effect. A contrasting bracelet did the charm for red shoes too.

The finished product! Wala!

I know, it's wrinkled, but I took this picture after I went out. =p


Well, the first few days of Syawal are really , always divine. All that food. *drool* I don't blame Kenny. It's practically impossible to not gain weight during raya. I haven't got the chance to get pictures of all that yummylicious food, yet. Just waiting for the opportune moment. ^^

Well the first few days went by pretty nicely. Relatives came. I have the cutest niece ever! I wish she wasn't so strong though, otherwise I could've risked snapping a picture of her. =p And parents always look oh so divine. I guess it's just the atmosphere. Everyone looks and feels divine in Syawal.

We also went to Bandar to visit my aunt n uncle. I always like going to their house for raya. It's always an interesting experience. In an odd, intellectual way. They always talk about the government, the citizens, attitudes and health. I don't know why, but everytime I go there, I come out a bit more older. Just weird and scary. I guess we're always doing the same old things every bloody day, we just don't give a damn anymore. A wake up call in a different environment always does it's thing.

HAHA. Oh yea, we went to Dynasty's to have dim sum on the 2nd day of raya. ^^ Deeeeeelicious.
