Raya shenanigans

Wait...didn't i just post about Ramadhan like a few hours ago?!

One month flew past just like that huh? Scary how fast time flies. May we all be blessed enough to meet Ramadhan again next year insyaAllah!

ANDDD so it's that time of the year again.Yes, I am one of those Raya grinches. 

Now, don't get me wrong. I love meeting all my family members. It's always nice to see each other after what feels like an eternity? Catching up with all the relatives and their adorable kids. 

Oh kids.

Don't get me started on those little minions. Those adorable cheeks waiting to be pinched and their funny antics. One of the things i look forward the most actually during this festive season. 

BUT...

with raya comes the much dreaded part a.k.a the questioning phase. 

Yeah, i bet you guys know what i'm talkin' bout. 

The typical 'when-are you-getting-a-job' or 'when-are-you-getting-married' questions. And the list goes on...

I know most people don't mean any harm when they ask these questions. But it gets really (like, reallyyy) tiring to listen to all these at EVERY household. I'm pretty sure you feel me?

And the worse part is that you can't say anything besides the occasional smile and awkward laugh, no? It's not like I have a magic ball to tell me when all these will happen. (They don't sell these, do they...)

Tell me, how do you all deal with these? 

On a more serious note, I hope everyone has an enjoyable Eid with you loved ones (annoying and non-annoying questions included). Eat lots of yummy food but maintain please. Don't stuff yourself like crazy, man. *not cool* 



Can't stop staring at this lovely watercolour effect...
