Moments In My Life...

Ramadan Kareem....

With Allah swt grace again I am able to celebrate Ramadan...but this year with one more less family member..Ayman has started school in Bahrain. Adzrul is now in Kursk doing his 5th. year.So..being home with zayd, hannah and of course azlan my other half.

With Hannah having soccer practise throughout Ramadan we have to adjust our time for Teraweh at the mosque, Zayd with his school work and his dilly-dallying tactics to start with his work, it becomes a battle.

This will be our 3rd. Ramadan in Dhahran. In the first Ramadan 2003..since we were the only Malaysian family here we decided to go for Isya'at the mosque on that 29th. SyaƔban nite. So.. we waited if teraweh will be perform than tomorrow the fasting started....about half an hour pass Isya' the imam says that we will perform teraweh..so this signify that tomorrow we shall start fasting. Amidst..Ramadan Kareem.. Ramadan Mubarak..we feel the solemnity of the beginning of Ramadan..with many intends in our hearts of making sure to increase our ibadah as we do not know if by next Ramadan we will be around...

Next morning about 10am..azlan called to say that Ramadan has not begun..it will be next day..we were surprised as the day before in the mosque the imam conducted teraweh but than again..the official announcement was not made it seems... so it was quite an eventful thing to remember for our Ramadan here... so when Ramadan came..it will bring a smile with it for us...

Got to start thinking now what to prepare for iftaar....

Moments In My Life...

Moments In My Life...

Time passes by so fast when you least realise it...when you sit doing nothing or waiting it seems so long...This summer has been fun albeit some indulgences and some news you would want to forget...

One thing I realise is never to hesitate to show your feelings to someone..be it kindness, love, anger will have it's place and merits. Just to know which one is which..

My intention is to write about my life so that some memories will be captured and some mistakes learned from...

But still.. the beginning is blurry...
