This is a fun post that I reckon deserve its own space on my blog. I was hesitant about posting it as I felt it was frivolous but why not.

So we went into Hari Raya this year without much fanfare because we just got news of an alarming increase in COVID infections and thus celebrations were kinda muted; only 5 visitors per household were allowed. More on this on my previous blog post - Things to be Thankful about this Covid Raya.

Anyways so - we always took pictures during Raya, me and my 4 sisters. And since it was me and my 3rd sister - all I wanted was ONE nice picture of me in in my pretty baju raya and my sister came up with this bright idea of scouring through Tiktok on tips on how to pose. The results were hilarious, and thus this post is aptly titled:

6 Ways On How Not To Pose with your Baju Raya

1. Wearing a mask in the house

2. Holding a tupperware of nutella tart as prop (𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦!!! 🤪)

3. Looking for your lost contacts

4. Showing off your oily forehead

5. Adjusting your kain

6. Tickling yourself

I may make an awful model, but I had great fun!! Thanks to @tiktok for the tips and my l’il sister, Aisya for the research AND humoring this crazy sister of yours
