The Wondrous Month

Happy Ramadhan Readers! Merry fasting, taraweh, firecrackers, fireworks, tadarus, sahur and ngabuburit :)

Wow, times really did flies. Well, this is my first official Ramadhan as a vegetarian and it feels so hard :( I'm also on a carb-diet which forbid me to eat rice. So basically I'm eating vegetables and anything not rice that I can lay my hands on. But it's all worth it. The thought that I didn't contribute to the market's demand on livestock slaughter makes me a little bit soothed :)

Anyway, it is my third Ramadhan away from home. Remember that I go to a boarding school? It's pretty much fun although I really miss homemade ta'jil. The biji salak, bubur mutiara, kolak pisang.... (Okay stop it, you're drooling) I'm just glad that I could come home and break my fasting twice a week because I must attend INTEN for my national examination preparation.

Without any further ado, I simply wish you guys a wonderful Ramadhan to share with your family, friends, relatives, girlfriend/boyfriend, your pets, teachers, nemesis (it's Ramadhan, declaring truce for about 30 days won't hurt anyone), poor people, orphans and every other God's creature. Show everyone the beauty nature of Islam that, unfortunately, may have been damaged by some irresponsible people. And may at the end of the month, we can taste the sweet flavor of victory, amen.

Assalamu'ailaikum wr. wb.
