Countdown to my favourite Hari Raya songs

Hi Everyone..Seeing that there's almost about 1 week left to Hari Raya, I decided to do a countdown to my fave hari raya songs and also to drum up the excitement for Raya(which is getting harder each year cause I'm no longer getting the zakat but instead I have to give it out hehe..I guess it is a good thing that I'm giving zakat and combined with my steadfast fasting so at least maybe some of my sins will be forgiven :P)

So here are my top 5 songs for RAYA!!

Song at no. 5
SELOKA HARI RAYA..

This song reminded me of the time where I had to participate my school Hari Raya celebration with my malay language classmates. Needless to say it went horribly wrong cause none of us could dance the traditional malay dance but we did it anyway to have fun and just for memories sake.(If I'm not wrong, it was our last year in Secondary school). The dance was made up of 6 couples and at one point of the dance, each couple was to separate and to form 2 lines consisting of all girls and guys. But I think my partner didn't get that memo and when we start to separate out, my partner decided to follow me looking absolutely clueless..I had to point him to the right direction while making it look like it was part of the dance(I don't think I succeeded cause the whole place was laughing by then). But luckily, my partner reacted and quickly join his line. I did the whole dance giggling cause I don't know why but I find the whole situation very hilarious. It is safe to say that is end of my "short" career as a malay dancer hehe ;) but because of that event, this song never fail to make me smile.



Song no. 4
BALIK KAMPUNG

Hehe even though I don't really have a kampung to go back to during Raya. But I just love the chorus of this song. Yet again a song that everyone knows especially the chorus..All together now "Balik kampung..ooohh..balik kampung"



Song no. 3
AIR MATA SYAWAL

This songs always reminds me that Hari Raya is not only about celebrating that we have done the fasting for 1 month but it is also about remembering those who have left us or those who are far away from us.

SUASANA HARI RAYA

This song by Anuar Zain and ellina is one of my favourite raya song simply because everyone knows this song. Me, my sisters and my cousins will be singing this song in the back seat when we used to go out visiting our relatives together in my uncle's van and sometimes the adults will join in as well. Hehe we especially love the part
" Asyik bersembang pakcik dan makcik, hai duit raya lupa nak diberi" Bring back plenty of good memories :)
