Selamat Hari Raya means:Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also seen as Hari Raya Idul Fitri and Hari Raya Puasa, literally "Celebration Day of Fasting") is the Malay term for the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Fitr. Hari Raya is also known as Lebaran. Muslims in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines celebrate Eid like other Muslims throughout the world. The term "Hari Raya" literally means "Day of Celebration" — it is also occasionally used to refer to Eid ul-Adha in the form of "Hari Raya Aidiladha". The main greeting used by Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore is "Selamat Hari Raya" which means "Happy Eid" in Malay. Another greeting is "maaf zahir dan batin" which translates loosely to "I seek forgiveness (from you) physically and spiritually", for Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others.
10 things ppl do during Raya:
1/ They seek forgiveness from each other.
2/ They give the younger ones Raya money (usually 2-10 dollars, but for people like Tira, they got 100 bucks)
3/ They admire each other's Raya baju
4/ and for me, i admire at their toilets, and planning what mine will be like when i have my own home.
5/ They count lap lip lights in each block
6/They'll usually try their best to finish up ppl's kuih at every visit.
7/ Girls will wear big earings and see whose is the heaviest.
8/You'll see a lot of high heels by the road. (usually from girls who gave up wearing them halfway)
9/Wear contact lens.
10/ or even die their hair BLACK.
So how's your Raya?
I was jealous, a man had proposed to her before i did. She went to a party. I met her at malaysia, she wasnt really sober. I asked her why. Her answer hurt me. I told her that i felt hurt. She laughed. My heart shattered. It was as though she didnt care for me. Her heart was not all mine as my heart was all hers. I couldnt bear this grieve. I had no choice but to go away and leave my shattered heart with her, it was still all hers. I couldnt take my mind off her. I kept thinking abt how my heart hurt so badly. But i also kept thinking about how much i miss my lover. Theres a part of me that wants to forgive her. But its hard to forget. What she has done to me, wounded me much deeper than any blade could. Should i meet her? Maybe. But im not sure. Suddenly i received a text. Meet me by the tree, it said. So i went. There, i saw her. She noticed me and went to me. She hugged me and whispered 5 words that brought me to tears, "I love you so much". She has no idea how much those words meant to me. I can never stay angry towards her. I love her. At that point she said to me, " Bby, close your eyes. Lets be kids again." I found it impossible bit i was amazed. Right in front of me, there stood my lover, as a child. I close my eyes, and took a few steps. The light got brigher.. She passed me somethng. It glowed. She returned me my heart, all fixed and perfect. She took my hand and we walked towards the moon. I was still in love, and i'll always be.
A dream is a wish your heart makes.
