deck the halls


I know it is too early for Christmas. But it is just three weeks to Hari Raya.

Perfect time to check out the hundreds of stalls selling home soft furnishing, baju kurung (Malay traditional costumes), biscuits, kebabs, chicken wings, and Ramly Burger!

Diana, Fiza, KC and I knew exactly what we wanted. We kept our priorities straight and headed first to the Hari Raya decorations stall. I am sure we were the biggest customer for the day. The Alphabet family can look forward to a colourful home with flashing light balls, oversized green and yellow ketupats, hanging cut-outs, and 3D paper dolls.

It was an extremely fruitful excursion.
We spent:

  • Hari Raya decorations $140
  • Flashing light balls x 60 feet $52
  • Chicken wings $1.20 each
  • Candy floss $2
  • Spicy prawn cracker $8

My favourite part of the evening were chatting about the origin and meaning of Muslim prayer, checking out traditional costumes and discovering dendengs, BBQ meat which looked a little like 美珍香肉干.
