• Dumating sa Australia taong 2023 bilang isang international student matapos makakuha ng scholarship mula sa kanilang gobyerno.
• Ang Hari Raya Aidilfitri ay isang mahalagang pagdiriwang ng mga Muslim matapos ang buwan ng Ramadan. Ito ay panahon ng pagdarasal, pasasalamat, at pagtitipon ng pamilya. Sa Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, at Indonesia, ‘Hari Raya’ ang karaniwang tawag sa halip na Eid al-Fitr dahil ito ang katawagan sa wikang Malay.

I miss my family and the warmth of going from house to house during Eid. Here in Australia, with a small Bruneian community, we gather in one place and rely on takeaway food, but it never feels quite like home.
