raya reflect.

5 things i've observed during this year's raya;

1. presence is the present -
being present is the best thing you can give.
kalu kite teliti, your family members only
need you to be there, listen to their stories,
share your thoughts, have long long chats,
share lotsa jokes. just, be there!

2. happy starts with you -
whether you realize it or not, how happy
your family is for the day depends on you.
you have the power to create a nice
atmosphere by being patient, and by
taking a light-hearted approach to things.
everyone wants to have a positive day,
so make sure you're the happy spark!

3. make the best out of things -
let's face it, sometimes things just don't go
the way we planned it to, so the best thing
to do is to just make do with what we have.
with a bit of luck, things might be better!
allah knows what's best for us, kan?

4. take pictures and lotsa wefies -
god knows i'm a selfie person, but i'd
like to point out how important it is
to take lotsa pictures with family and
friends. trust me, it's heartbreaking to
not have pics of loved ones who have passed.

5. nothing beats home -
you can go live and work in all sorts of
places all around the world and tell
yourself that you have succeeded. but hey,
we all know deep down that despite all
that, nothing beats being back home!

sekiantimekaceh!
