This's Year's Ramadhan Experience

This year's experience is different. Kak Long is away, Baba is away, so there's just me and the boys. The boys are sweet at times, like pic showing them making ondeh-ondeh. But at other times, I can't catch up with the em, as I tire very easily.

Even without Kak Long the boys got me presents for my birthday and put up an effort for a surprise party - although I knew it coming.

My mind ping pongs a lot nowadays, thingking of projects for me to take on. Unfortunately it's all a blur. I'm good at thinking for other people I guess but hopeless when thinking for myself.

This year I cook for breakfast and sahur most of the time. Going to Pasar Ramadhan is like trying to cross Chow Kit Road at 5. What with the swine flu and all. Plus things are so expensive nowadays. I guess that's what drove me into trying out new recipes. I love trying out traditional malay kueh and dishes. There's a few which I've updated at my Famili Cooking. But truly most of my trials are pathetic. The try out was fun though.

We consumed a lot from our new vegetable garden. The Salads are wonderful. It just goes with everything - budu, mayonnaise, tempoyak. Can't wait for the tomatoes, cucumber and bendi to fruit.

Selalu teringatkan my experience buat Umrah and Mekah and Madinah. Rindu. Rindu jugak of my late mom and sis.

Would like to link again to my earlier post on Dua Malam Lailatul Qadar as I noticed it drives the most traffic into this blog. Readers, whatever good you've obtained from this site is from Allah S.W.T. and whet ever bad is from my ignorance on subject matter. Selamat Berpuasa dan menjalankan ibadah di sepanjang bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak ini dan Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri yang akan datang.
