Ramadhan & me

Yey! it's finally here :D Alhamdulillah this year i'm still able to fasting and already am finish day one today! yah-yah let's do it, another 29 days to go! hahaha

Theres a lot of things, memories when it comes to ramadhan. some of it, is like a background music being play over and over every ramadhan! like my dad reminders on the first night of ramadhan to 'niat' for fasting for the whole month. because it's once a year, so we tend to forget is'nt? so my dad will announce on the first night, loudly before everyone went sleept, to quickly niat puasa..

then when it comes to buka or breaking fast. theres one drink cant never be forgotten! it's cincau! hahaha this is favourite drink in my house on ramadhan. maybe because it has cooling effect since we all dehydrated all day long and usually ramadhan will be hotter than ever! ihihihi (or actually, it's feels hotter since we cant sip any cool drink?) my dad use to say, if the cincau submerged to the bottom, it's mean the drink not sweet enough. but if it floated, then it's sweet enough. and so far, it's really is! so no need to worry of complaint/s if your drink sweet or not! it's really work you know... :D

then the sahur! (since i'm writing this while waiting for my sahur time). luckily i'm not so difficult to wake up for sahur even now that i'm stay by myself! sahur is s special as special like buka. i dont really know why but i felt it as merrier as buka even thou its at 5am in the wee hour! this is usually when i remember my mom most! caused she'd been preparing sahur since i was really little up to this age, without even waking up the whole house for help or any noises made! my mom is superb!

so today its become so obvious that i haven't drink soy for so long! i don't know why, but i really want to make cincau-soya for buka today! even bought the drink yesterday! but how on earth did i forget, i'm allergic to soy (if taken with empty stomach)! the result? my face and my respiratory swollen and my chest and my stomach hurt! ouch! what a nice first day buka experience! wahaha but oklah, i know to be extra careful the next time...please remind me yeah?

when it comes to puasa, the biggest challenge is time! it's rushing to get everything done. from coming back from work, buy/cook meals for buka, buka itself is rushing since have to chase time for marghrib prayer, then rushing again for terawikh. maybe i'm not obligated to all above, but it's true. go ask all the housewife especially, this is the month they are busy the most! and i forget to add, have to sleep early, because have to wake up early for sahur the next morning!

for single like me, it's still ok and under control. but don't know anytime soon...ahaha wish a cooperation from "all party involved"! hihihihi

but maybe that is the secret behind the ramadhan. on this holly month in islamic calendar, ramadhan was offered all the goods rewards on it! every good deeds rewarded multiple rewards, then other month. so those who play games, must know exactly what is this mean, right? but nothings come easy, you have to fight with time! time and patience, and planning is so crucial this month. who manage to plan their time, will get all the slots happily!

jikan-des! (it's time - to prepare my sahur!) wish you all, and my self a happy and easy ramadhan. may all the burden and challenges, thought something good behind. may we all be success to the end and celebrate meaningful eidulfitri this end of ramadhan! :D
