🇲🇾 Our FIRST RAYA OPEN HOUSE event in Malaysia! 🏠
We visited our FIRST Raya OPEN HOUSE with Melilea!
It's quite far into the month of Hari Raya/Eid, but we can now say we have managed to join an open house!
This was such a great event, full of friendly people, amazing performances and good food! We hope you enjoy watching this vlog of us generally just having a great time at this event - let us know in the comments which was your favourite part!
As Eid comes to a close over the next two weeks, we want to say Selamat Hari Raya to all our Muslim followers, we hope you've enjoyed the last couple of months with us immersing ourselves in the culture and experiences of Ramadhan and Hari Raya!
Take care,
Jacob and Emma

The food of course, my favorite part of this video and congrats on winning a hamper. It's very thoughtful that Melilea took the time to organize a Raya open house, it looked quite well organized with good usherers, good food, good traditional Malay dance performance, good doorgift, Melilea was a good host for a Raya open house.
Hi Jacob and Emma, It was wonderful meeting you 😍 and having you join us at our 🕌RAYA OPEN HOUSE🕌 with MELILEA. We loved showing you our dedication to an organic lifestyle and immersing you in the vibrant Malay festive atmosphere here in Malaysia. We'd be thrilled to feature your video on our Facebook page to let others share in these wonderful memories with us ❤🎉. We hope your adventures in Malaysia continue to be full of incredible experiences and beautiful memories as you explore this stunning country 🥰🥰.

I hope this is one of d unique experience about Malaysia that u guys would always remember and cherish for a lifetime and u guys can always come back to Malaysia again everytime there's Hari Raya & other Malaysian celebrations like our Chinese New Year celebration for d Chinese in Malaysia especially for our Malaysian Chinese and our Deepavali and Thaipusam celebrations for d Indians in Malaysia especially for our Malaysian Indian brothers and sisters .... Then of course in East Malaysia in the region of Sabah & Sarawak ( Borneo ) we have the Kaamaatan Festival in Sabah and the Hari Gawai Festival in Sarawak ... These two celebrations are the Harvest Festival of these two East Malaysian regions in Borneo ... And these celebrations are d ones that make Malaysia so unique and so diverse ....

Hey! We're around KL until the end of next month, however are quite busy trying to round up videos in anticipation for our Philippines trip! When abouts are you coming back?
Glad you enjoy your 1st open house. Just a friendly advise, in future you may want to wear long pants with a button shirt if you are attending an invitation such as open house, wedding etc. It's not obligated but you'll look presentable. Not that you look bad with those short khakis, its just a matter of dressing up for an invitation. 😊
@DisappearforDays
Ай бұрын
Thanks so much for watching - we appreciate the advice. It was difficult in honestly as we don't have any long trousers in Malaysia (I used to have a few pairs of trousers, however as I'd not worn them in such a long time, I got them out a few weeks back and they had gained mould and ruined them). We hadn't enough time to go out and buy more, also the cost of it for the amount of times I would use it didn't seem to be warranted in Malaysia, but maybe I'll see if I can get some for events in the future! I was also meant to wear a button shirt to be more formal, however I stupidly forgot to iron it beforehand - I'll take full responsibility for that. Even Emma said that I should have worn it, but it was a mistake on my end, and they happen - I just had to deal with it and put on the next best option. Thank you for your help though 😊

There was no dress code though as we had messaged the event organiser and he said we could wear anything. We appreciate the feedback though on what people think is suitable or not, everyone is entitled to their opinion, we try to keep as respectful as possible and try not to be ignorant/rude - we'd never want to come across that way, especially considering we are in the public eye. 😊

Sorry if we showed any sign of disrespect with our clothing. We did message our contact before hand who worked for the organisation and asked about a dress code. He said it was traditional for Malay people to wear the Baju Melayu/Kurung, however said there was no dress code for the event. We still tried to dress moderately and appropriately for the occasion, and though I did have a shirt to wear - I had forgotten to iron it and didn't want to turn up looking like a scruff - that's completely my fault. Either way, as said, we show respect and treated everyone there with respect as much as we can and no one had mentioned anything to us whilst we were there. Anyway, I'm waffling now, but yeah, we hope you can understand we didn't mean to cause any disrespect! 😊
