Ramadhan is here...hurray :)

Assalamualaikum and peace to you readers (if any),


Ramadhan is the holy month where every Muslim around the world is anxiously waiting for. Why? Because it marks the celebration of Hari Raya AidilFitri in a month time :) Well, it is true. The first day of Ramadhan itself you can see the Aidil Fitri sales going on through out the cities across the shopping malls. I was happy when I walk through KLCC for I did not see any sign of Selamat Hari Raya, it is too soon in my opinion anyway. But how wrong was I, the decorations they hanged actually had the word Selamat Hari Raya written on it.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against Aidil Fitri, in fact I do love Aidil Fitri for the scrumptious Beef Rendang,









 Ayam Masam Merah,
Ketupat, Rendang Itam etc wallawei food food and more food.

But the main reason for the 'celebration' of Aidil Fitri is about the winning against the obstacles you have faced during Ramadhan. So its not really justified for you to prepare for the celebration when you have not even started the 'war' againt all the temptations right?

The biggest temptation for me is  not the food and drinks but 'anger management' :) seriously Ramadhan is teaching me to be more patient, calmer and more relax. More relax in the sense that do not look in to unnecessary things that is nonsense and may cause unnecessary issues causing unnecessary blood pressure. Wah, that is not easy wei. Difficult very difficult indeed. Haha but that is a very interesting challenge right?

Anyways, I head back to my parents place on Saturday afternoon and had a buka puasa with my families. My two nephews are fasting (6 and 5 years of age). Awesome kids. The youngest are still a little bit too young. My youngest sister came back from UCSI Terengganu and it was havoc.

After terawih, I had dinner with my younger sister for our gossip routine...haish puasa puasa pun nak mengumpat kan, teruk betul :) My mother joined in before dad came down and asked for some food. Dad was not feeling well and had gone to bed earlier. He woke up to realize that my mom was not next to him and went looking for her. Awww, so sweet kan kan kan :)

Sahur went as usual, woke up to heat up the food and then after subuh went straight to bed. Not a good habit by the way people, please be reminded. Cleaned the house while the sisters and nephews went to shop for Baju Raya :) Then had a lepak lepak with them and continue gossiping wakakaka rare opportunity tau ...

Have to stop here for a while. My boss is calling me. Ok this is after office hours and I am waiting to meet up with friends later. Does that answer the question of why I am here in the office still? :)
