We're officially down to the last 8 days of fasting, including today.
This is the holiest part of the month, where the 7 doors of heaven open up and where God forgives even the biggest sins committed by the most sinful of sinners.
This is also where, Singaporean Muslims in particular, start preparing for Hari Raya Aidilfitri, or as it is more commonly known by the non-Muslims, Hari Raya Puasa.
And so in the spirit of Aidilfitri, I've compiled a list of my favourite Hari Raya songs which my peers and I grew up listening to during this festive season in the Muslim calendar.
And oh oh, do listen to track no 16 on my playlist, "Ewa Ewa Hari Raya", as it is my absolute favourite! It also brings back a lot of fond memories of my Primary School days.
Believe it or not, for all the 6 years that I spent in Tanglin Primary, there was not a year where I failed to perform the song during the school's Hari Raya concert!
Yup, I sang the song for 6 consecutive years, on top of my other involvements in the concert.
I did a Hari Raya Fashion Show in primary 1; and from primary 2-6, I was involved in the Hari Raya skits.
Oh god, what's wrong with me?! I've been thinking a lot about my childhood as of late!! *gasp!*
