ramadhan

it's ramadhan. i do fast religiously. i don't practice all the 5 prayers everyday and did skip few friday prayers and did few other stuffs that discern the teachings of islam. let's just not go there. however in ramadhan, im paying my dues by fasting. my uncle told me that fasting is all about "encountering the devil in you and finding ur inner peace". sounds like a quote from mahatma gandhi, but i second that in a way.
the experience of fasting in canberra is so different compared to backhome (duuhhh!). there r no bazaars, no family members and no JAIS. ouh.. and the tarawikh prayers, the continuation of prayers after isya'. yerp.. sad to say that i won't be able to be home for eidl'fitri. but hey, i've friends around. 27 year old firdaus reminds me heaps of my 28 year old brother, zul aka yop. both are Red Devil fans, both are easy to get along with and both of them have a certain air of "jangan kacau adik aku" kinda shit. and angeline and wendy remind me of my sister sue. three of them have chinese looks and three of them are good cooks and excellent listeners and advisors.
i wonder how my raya is gonna be here in canberra. not until 26 more days, i will tell u for sure.
