Raya Solo? Here’s How to Make It a Vibe!

So, you’re spending Raya away from home this year? Whether it’s work, studies, or just life getting in the way, being apart from family during the festive season can feel... well, a little sad. But don’t worry! Just because you’re celebrating solo doesn’t mean it has to be boring. 

With the right gadgets, you can still raya sakan—even from miles away. Here’s how to turn your solo Raya into a memorable one, with some tech that’ll keep you connected, entertained, and maybe even help you feel closer to home. 

Stay Connected with the Fam (No Matter the Distance!) 

What’s Raya without those chaotic family video calls? Your aunts screaming over each other, your cousins showing off their baju Raya, and your parents asking, “Makan apa tu?” (even though you literally just told them). 

📱 Get a phone or tablet with a solid front camera

Make sure your video calls are clear and HD—no blurry faces or pixelated kuih! 

Try the iPhone 16 for FaceTime magic or the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 if you like seeing everyone’s faces on a bigger screen. 

💻 Or upgrade to a laptop for hands-free calls

Perfect for those long Raya catch-ups while you’re busy munching on lemang. 

The MacBook Air M3 or Asus ZenBook delivers crisp video and clear audio—so even your soft-spoken nenek won’t have to repeat herself. 

Movie Marathons & Gaming Sesh—Your Kind of Raya 

So you’re not back home, but you can still have a good time. Set up a solo Raya entertainment zone with the right gadgets! 

🎥 Binge Your Favorite Raya Classics

From Sepet to Ejen Ali Raya, having a high-quality smart TV or tablet makes all the difference. 

The Samsung 4K QLED Smart TV? Next-level visuals. The Xiaomi Pad 6? Super sharp display for watching on the go. 

🎮 Game Nights with Online Buddies

Who says Raya can’t include a little MLBB or CoD session? 

A gaming laptop like the Acer Nitro 5 ensures lag-free, smooth gameplay—so you can still ‘balik kampung’ in the virtual world. 

Capture Raya Memories (Even If It’s Just You!) 

Just because you’re solo doesn’t mean you can’t take fire Raya selfies! You know your outfit deserves to be seen. 

📸 A good phone camera = effortless OOTD shots 

The Google Pixel 9 gives pro-level portrait mode—so yes, even your baju Raya details will pop. 

Want extra angles? Get a tripod or wireless remote for hands-free snaps. 

Bring Home Closer with Smart Gadgets 

Feeling a little homesick? Here’s how to recreate that raya feel in your own space.
