“Raya” means Eid al-Fitr. In Indonesia, it’s commonly known as “Idul Fitri” while in Malaysia and Singapore, it’s usually called as “Raya” (with the greetings “Selamat Hari Raya”.)
Eid al-Fitr/Raya is Islamic two-days celebration after a month-long Ramadan fasting which celebrated publicly/nationwide (not restricted to moslems only because, hey, festivities!) The word “fitr” means “oneself/one’s original soul.” During Raya, folks ask for forgiveness and forgive each other. After 30 days of fasting, one can finally celebrate it together with friends and families. This is the time when families and friends gather — and the main theme of Raya is balik kampung or mudik (in Indonesian); means, homecoming.
Raya started early morning when the moslems are going to a public field or the biggest mosque in the area to have Eid shalat/prayers. After the shalat, folks usually hanging around at the mosque while greeting each other — even strangers. Then, we all come home and prepare for Eid meal. Neighbors, friends, and families usually visit each other too.
Raya songs usually really cheerful, upbeat, and pretty loud. I feel the Lofi Raya Beats do a really good job on giving the ✨aesthetic✨ vibe.
We are halfway through Ramadan! Lets do our best!

When I was only ten, I was told by a man He smiled as he said, "You just need to understand Unless you grow thinner, no man would ever want you" And what a grownup said I believed as children do She wasn't made for your pleasure Don't you blame it on human nature She wasn't made for your pleasure Oh, who will love her? Daisy, go dress yourself in a red disguise To look like a rose, you must pay a heavy price Try to be beautiful and pleasing to the eye Run after your youth 'til the day that you die She wasn't made for your pleasure Don't you blame it on human nature She wasn't made for your pleasure Oh, who will love her?

“K.K. Bossa” is one of my favorite songs in Animal Crossing: New Horizon (despite the in-game lyrics is actually only “meeep mop meep moop weewaaweewooo mop meep moooooop”) so I’m pleasantly surprised to hear the, uh, human-lyrics version.

For the sleepless nights filled with the EDM music, cigarettes, and black coffee with neverending projects, thesis, and freelance works. For the late-night PHP and CSS tests, despairs, and joys. For the late-night walk home with MP3 player on the pocket. Midnight stroll — because there was no bus left — on Jalan Sudirman, Jakarta. Jacket pulled up, cap pulled down.
For the company during heartbreaks and falling in love.
One more time.
