It's exactly seven more days to Hari Raya and I'm pretty much not in the festive mood. Hopefully, for now, not yet. Usually, during two weeks before it, I'd get all hype up, excited and all. But yes, somehow, this year, it seems a tad solemn, unfestive-ish and revoltingly dreading. I don't care about my ugly new clothes, my non-existent heels, and the little bag. Any hint of Hari Raya mood in the house so far is the seductive aroma of trays of freshly baked cookies. Yes just that.
