1) The fasting month is the time where your workload is at minimal, and so you can enjoy some quality time...sleeping! Almost everyday without fail, I'll spend my afternoon taking a 1-hour nap...You have know idea what it feels like after waking up...You basically feel like not working anymore, haha! But seriously, the hours spent on sleeping increased up to 20% I supposed, during fasting month...
2) You know how people of all walks of life enjoy the coming of the fasting month because of the melting pots at the Ramadan bazaar which are just...so...tempting? Usually the beginning fasting is the time which I would say...most challenging; Challenging in the sense that you can't keep your eyes on one type of food, you just think about what to eat next, next and after that. Now fasting month has reached half way, and to be honest, my cravings are gone! Everyday during the fasting month, I only look forward to fill up my appetite with the food that I think is only appropriate. After work, I shall only hunt for a main course, a drink (be it coconut or sugar cane juice) and just a RM1 kueh. I just don't feel the urge to eat anymore...because in the end, you'll never have time to finish everything as you'll be busy sleeping...
3) I just found out that someone who I love dearly has lost her cat. It's a terrible news to hear since I was quite close to both the pet and the owner. I know how much she loves her, and the cat has got so much love thanks to her. I can only understand how devastated she must feel after that incident. Rest in peace Lucci, and you will be missed...
4) Last Thursday I discovered a new spot for my tastebuds. I went out for buka puasa with my office mates (basically bachelors, which is led by a head 'bachelor'; a 40 year old principal engineer whose wife and family are in the UK, huhu). Anyway, the place is called Restoran Tiga Lima (located somewhere near Mahkota Parade) and it serves local authentic assam pedas, which I think is just marvellous. Worth checking out, and I might just pay another visit some day...
5) The US Open is currently airing on TV, and my dad and I happened to be quite an avid fan of tennis. Anyway, we were watching Federer - Hewitt match (which the great RF advances to the next round), and all of a sudden, my dad was like 'Eh lawa pulok baju Federer paka..kalu gi keda napok tolong beli ko papa' The attire he referred to is Federer's red shirt with black collar, huhu. So yesterday I went to OU and specifically to the Nike store, and found the shirt! Not of the exact colour of course. There's also the one the RF wore during Wimbledon this year, it's white and has this gold stripe at the collar which I think just translates into 'the great Roger'. Anyway, I thought the cut of the shirt is a little slim, so I'm not entirely sure if size M or L fits my dad better. So I took the picture of both shirts and let my dad to decide! That way, my dad will be satisfied, and I will not be frustrated for buying the wrong size (or the wrong shirt!)
6) Now, for what I am talking about in the main header. Recently there was the passing of one of the prominent figures in the nation's judiciary system. So it happens that my sister in law's older sister is married to him. So my mum and I went to this majlis tahlil held at her house somewhere in KL. Woww, her house is just gorgeous and huge! Lavishly filled with top notch furnitures, a pool, grand scale bathroom (my sister took picture inside it, huhu). And the neighbourhood just reminds you of Hollywood Hills, or the Upper East Side. Anyway, she was thinking of selling it since it is just too big for her and her only daughter. The price tag? A hefty five million ringgit. Ka-ching! I wouldn't mind living there if I happened to be a multi-millionaire. So, any takers out there?
It's approaching 6am (I just had my sahur), and I better get ready to head to Melaka...to work...Weekday blues is back...at least I can now look forward to sleeping in the afternoon in the office, hahaha...Selamat Berpuasa!
