Ramadhan 1428
Shame on me, it's already Ramadhan 17th and it's only tonight that I wrote about it here. Oh well better late than never, right??
It's my first Ramadhan in HCMC and I wasn't really excited with the fact at the beginning. First of all, the fact that I dont have the luxury to go to Pasar Ramadhan and choose my food from the abundant of selections there. The kuih muih, bermacam2 lauk, air pelbagai jenis, which my favorite is the chrysanthemum tea, and the fact that we all can go home 1-hour early from work. Of course, fasting in KL also means my friends and I will have a good reason to get together, eat and catch-up with each other *sigh*
The second thing is the fact that I wont be able to really spend time fasting and breaking fast with my family back in Kemaman. My mom's tasty bubur lambuk, puding buih, even to the simple dish of ikan singgang and sambal belacan...i just cant help thinking about it. And breaking fast with all my brothers,sisters, in-laws, and those cheeky nephews and nieces would be so meriah, boleh runtuh agaknye rumah my parents..not to mention shopping with my mom!
Last but not least is of course the fact that I cant cherish the best month of all in Islamic calendar with Mr MKA. It's our first Ramadhan together, with quite a distance in between. Well, hopefully the distance will only strengthen the relationship, not otherwise.
Despite all the thoughts, Ramadhan 1428 is going well so far. I have to thank a friend, actually a couple for being so sensible. I'm pretty much spending the evening at their apartment, eating home-cooked meal, and entertained by two adorable kids. Jihah and Iman...haha the "Sergeant Saunders"..and i'd say i'd been to terawih more frequent than the past Ramadhans. Yay to that! Plus, I got to spend the weekend last week with my friends and my family and MKA. So, not too bad I guess :).
It's only one week and a half to go before I fly back to Malaysia for Hari Raya. I have a feeling that Raya is going to be different this time. Anyway, I wish for nothing more than everybody's arriving home safely and my parents' joy seeing all their children under one roof and grandkids running around happily during Hari Raya.
Have a blessed Ramadhan to all!

Wish holiday is not over yet!
Found this in a friend's blog. Do give it a try too!

You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions
