Here’s a video update on this year’s raya. We are all encouraged to stay home, especially during the Hari Raya. There were no visits to families’ and relatives’ houses. Sadly, it was quite a short and brief raya for the first day. We arranged a video chat first using Zoom, then it was kinda complicated then we switched back to the normal Whatsapp video call just in groups. Haha! It was unsynchronised, first we had the video chat with my husband’s side, and while we were at it, my family decided to call up too! And then our garage friends, and the kids... they just sat down on the sofa, watching the tv, not engaging much with the e-raya. Then, our phone cameras are up, polaroid is out, nikon camera is on and we take our usual family pictures but this time, with our cats and friends who had been staying with us during the circuit breaker and lockdown.
The foods.. let’s not forget to talk about food on Hari Raya. Usually every other year I would stay up in the morning and cook all the rendang, kurma dish, masak merah and lontong. Just not this year. Even our kueh, baked some honey cornflakes as usual and tried baking nutella pods, but it all got wiped out even before raya.
