The holy month of Ramadhan is well into its 1st week now. and u can see the subtle changes in evryday muslim’s life. more ppl r turning up to work wif sleepy n red eyes, which includes me, but i guess the effects of watching the football matches in the wee hours of morning is the cause. unlike other ppl who stayed up all nite long to pray n do other things which is sunat to gain more pahala.

1st of all for me, my sleeping schedule has changed dramatically during this month. nowadays i feel tired as early as 10pm on weekdays. n then i woke up at 4.30am to have the sahur. i did tried to stay up until its time to go to work, but my body is too tired. so had to go back to sleep, until 655am. now it took me only 1/2 an hour to get ready to go to work. thats y i ended up at my workplace around 820am which is a record in itself.

now no more taking breakfast at work. heck i saved a lot during this ramadan month. i spend on average rm2-rm5 only per day, as compared to rm10-rm15 previously. berbuka puasa is already bought by my parents. breaking fast is a feast for the eyes n stomach. after a day of fasting, the body is recharged to its fullest. but in damansara, the border between PJ n KL is so close. if i go to pizza hut in tmn tun, can be considered as in KL territory already, can break fast 1 minute earlier sometimes.

n the 1 thing that amazes me, is how i managed to curb my smoking behaviour during this month. i dont feel the urge to light up evry now n then. its a plus sign for me, hope i can stop it totally. but i dont know whether my body will have any adverse effects after withdrawing myself from the nicotine addiction. because of that, my body temperature can fall down rapidly hence the need for a sweater. n no more calories to burn or cigarettes to light up my body to keep hot.

but during the weekend, normal service is resumed. lepaking is still a favourite pastime. watching live football matches like always. wateva itis, saji is still the port for all of us ese’s in our barrio. so i wish the best of luck to bashir who owns the saji restaurant n 3 other branches, 1 in damansara perdana, 1 in ampang n another 1 i forgot where itis. thanx for not increasing the price of f&b there n thanx for the projector which shows most of the live football matches. thanx to ali for making my rm1 teh tarik evry nite without fail n for his prediction on football results which is 80% correct for most of the time. thanx to the abe kelate who makes my nasik goreng cina nasik lebih + telur mata very splendidly which includes a complimentary big bowl of sup kosong. thanx to sheikh who makes the occasional roti naan wif mint sauce n for teaching us a couple of Tamil languages.

hope i can become a better person after 1 month of fasting. fasting teaches all of us to be patient, to remember the struggles of the poor who dont have food ready on their table each time. even 1/2 of the world’s population spends less than USD2.00 per day which is a pity considering the worlds wealth which is to be shared all around. so much for my pre-raya shopping. i can see that the shopping complex is more packed than usual at pyramid n the curve last wiken. n its definitely gonna pickup nearing the holidays.

so mcd buffet rm19, any takers??? or maybe sheraton subang for rm80++ wif my neighbor jaafar onn. eat all u can eat n eat till u drop.

-there r 2 joys of life to those who fast, the joy of breaking fast n the joy of meeting God the Almighty-

P.S. when r we gonna go to behind Jalan TAR for shopping? or we could simply go there at midnite to eat keropok lekor n then go back home like last year. XD
