raya preparations

Before Ramadan began I took a peek at my Raya Resolution which I drafted a year ago. What?! I actually have a Raya Resolution list? #sedihlahkalaupercaya

Well, if there was one then this is what it would look like:

1. Baju raya for all four of us I will tempah awal2. Like two months before raya. With the kain that I bought the other day.

2. Finish painting the house.

3. Baju raya for the cats.

4. All raya gift I will get by first week of Ramadan. Siap bungkus and everything.

5. Kuih raya buat sendiri. Especially that yummy sarang semut that I used to make back in UK.

What actually happened this year:

1.EVERYTHING LAST MINUTE nothing got done seriously. Kain silk yg aku beli hari tu still duk sekong je dlm plastic.

Nasib baju budak2 sempat beli tu pon saiz tak de so kena minta tolong Cik Hajar si in-house tailor at Telekung TEA to alter mengikut size.

Paling kesian I myself got no baju then got a brilliant idea to put some lace on my old baju.

Hey, turned out all right kan?

2. House still looks like that. So much for all the buckets of paint that I bought at the hardware store 😂

3. Like seriously? Who even wrote this in the list? No, I did not get any baju raya for the cats!

4. Got raya gifts for family only the day before raya...sooo last minute!!! Nasib baik I actually own Telekung TEA and their tagline is "The Perfect Gift. Everytime" -- just drop by and grab stuff. Saved me alot of trouble 😂.

5. Kuih raya of course tak buat sendiri. Although if you look at my pantry can see all the tepung and sugar and baking stuff 😂 Hey, its the niat that counts.

I hate myself for being so disorganised but don't worry, I will make a new raya resolution for next year and save myself all this headache. This time with a timeline. And will stick to it! Hmm, we'll see about that 😂
