There goes. For the past one week, I'm being harrased with the same question over and over again. BEWARE. Looks are deceiving. Hehe.

Anyway, with the Raya heat wave ON, I would like to wish my dear Muslim friends a HAPPY EID UL FITR. Selamat pulang ke kampung and selamat kembali ke ibu kota. Safe journey.
