Day 1
at last, Ramadhan came again. started last nite with terawikh prayers at surau aminah sabirin tmn sri amar.
sahur was very moderate. untasteful i would say with rice, sayur+telur masak air & ikan caru bakar kosong. i had this stomach disorder that ran for a couple of days and starting to fast with it wasn’t a very good idea. but it’s a small matter for me & i fast.
due to the stomach disorder i had, i slept till noon. after zuhur prayers I went to the office & meet with some chaps. at about 4pm i went to the pasar ramadhan uda in front of the mosque to help a fren who had a stall there. he was selling nasi beryani, lasksa johor & laksa penang by the way.
what a wonderful sight! haha, wonderful coz of the colorful girls who came there.
that was the beauty of pasar ramadhan, well…other than the delicious delicacies.
buka puasa is the best time i would say. with ur family is important. it has been a tradition on the 1st day of ramadhan its a must for me to sahur & buka puasa with the family. the dish for buka puasa that day was only meehon goreng. my mom made it. simple, but enuff.
that nite, 2nd day of terawih was at masjid kg melayu majidee. it was packed. after terawikh i called up wak ijan(a good fren of mine) to meet at al-kauzar restaurant at tmn setia indah to have some teh-tarik session.
sharul(also a good fren of mine) managed to join us after his amil zakat duties and we talked about some issues. had a vey good chat. shoke hands & ready for the 2nd day of fasting.

Day 2
well……sahur today was also simple & untastful…haha, i had rice, sayur+tauhu+ikan bilis masak air & some small ikan goreng. still, my stomach disorder haunts me. haha, after subuh prayers I feel kinda sick with my stomach and sleep until 2pm. did my zuhur prayers & went to the barbershop to trim some hair.
then, drove to uda to help my fren again at the pasar ramadhan stall.
wonderful sight again…ahahaha, orang kate cuci mata. again, i met with knowns faces. i also saw this chick from myspace. ohhh, there’s also some artists came. yesterday was the twins ikin & ape ntah her twin’s name. today it was fara fauzana & wahid senario. maybe it was the melody shooting. coz there’s this camera man & mic with them. kecoh sekejap kat situ. manage to took some pics & carried on selling.
todays sales was not as good as yesterdays. laska saje jalan, a lot of the nasi beryani was left unsold.
todays buka puasa menu was asam pedas ikan merah. location was zorro stulang. thks mike for the dish. there were the 3 of us, me-wari-mike. eating rice makes u kenyang gile. then, we chatted & I went home.
after terawikh, a number of my mates gather up for the teh-terik session again. this time there was about 10 of us. Jo was the head & we had a nice laugh bersembang & mengutuk2 & bergurau-senda. hahaha, it was one of the best sessions. looking forward for the next guys
and so, we all went home & getting ready for the 3rd day of fasting….

Salam & selamat menyambut Ramadhan al-Mubarak kpd semua.

Alhamdulillah we are all granted the chance to meet again with the month of Ramadhan. This is the month that we muslims fast or berpuasa for 30 days (Insya’ Allah). As one of the 5 pillars of Islam, we must fast. This is wajib=meaning must do. And in this month also we are encourage to do a lot of ibadah. meaning that along with fasting; we recite the Al-Quran, doing the 5 daily prayers, doing good deeds, control our eyes-ears-mouth, thinking about the wonders of Allah’s creation, solat tarawikh dan other solat sunat. We are also told to control & prevent ourselves from wrong-doings.

This is also the month where some of us are granted the lessons of life. Where in life we are sometimes lost in world-ly pleasures, this is the time where we learn that life is more than materials. Believe it or not, Ramadhan teaches us a lot. Why am I saying that? Because for those who realize, they will know how to be patient(sabar) & strong-willed. Also, in this month where Shaitan & Iblis are tied, we are left ourselves with our own Nafsu(desires). So, in other words this is also a month where u will be tested.

In other news…actually, at the time I am writing this article I was back from restoran mamak Osman. It was a routine teh-tarik session with my mates. And at time what I saw was someone (a girl) that I was been with before was with another bloke. Now, Im not judging anything but I am looking at the benefit of the doubt, (meaning bersangka baik lah). I just wanna say that I am happy to see she’s happy with her new boyfriend. No wonder she did not want to meet me & gave a lot of excuses. I heard about her new guy but I did not buy the news. Only after tonite( its 1.45am that time) I saw it with my own eyes and I believed it.

Good for her. And good for me too. I always have this inner feeling that i dont want other people to hate or feel bad about me. And I think now, that guilt has gone(not that I did bad things to her, I treated her what a woman should be treated, if u dont believe me, go ask her).
Alhamdulillah. Allah Maha Bijaksana! In life, more specificly in relationships we have to now when to start, when to leave and when to move on. Life wont be interesting when all this did not happen to us.

So, this Ramadhan teaches me to syukur. Syukur(grateful) with the pleasures(nikmat) that Allah has given u. When Allah took something from u, He will give u something better. Thats why I said, Maha Suci Allah, Allah Maha Bijaksana!
This Ramadhan also teaches me that u dont need anybody to rely on. Because when u rely on someone else and not Allah, then what are u? Tepuk dada, tanya selera.

So, a message to all…janganlah bergantung kepada orang. Ingat lah semua itu adalah ketentuan Allah. Pertemuan & perpisahan itu juga adalah ketentuan Allah. Cinta itu juga ketentuan Allah. Tapi ingat lah cinta dengan material, dunia, perempuan dan makhluk tidak kekal. Yang kekal hanya lah cinta kepada Allah.

Bagi aku, aku tidak hairan semua ini terjadi. Aku bersyukur dan redha dengan nikmat & ketentuan Allah. Kerana, cukuplah Allah sebagai tempat bergantung ku.

Wallahu a’lam.
