Jap jap nak asah skill writing in english. Korang please jangan loya.
Well.. Ray of light could be seen through cloudy sky today. Maybe it will rain again today. Hujan Rahmat kot! Allahumma Soyyiban Nafi'an, amin.
Enough of that messy feeling about the day. Apapun semuanya kan datang dari Allah?

Well.. Bila cakap pasal Ramadhan, what are u guys feeling about Ramadhan?
I love the spirit of Ramadhan very much sbb aku rasa semua orang sangat baik dalam bulan ni. Kenapa bulan lain tak rasa macam tu eh?
Dr Harlina Siraj's wrote an article in "Solusi" mag (August vol) about Ramadhan. Ramadhan seems like a "family camp". Before dawn or Subuh, mums wake up first before the whole family and feed them (either cook or reheat the break fasting's menu). Then, perform solat (Subuh) together (jamaah in the house or the mosque possibly). I like it very well. Macam tu juga di rumah aku. Abah atau mama aku akan mengetuk pintu bilik, on lampu bilik (ni tujuannya supaya mata kau berpinar konon-konon terik terkena cahaya). Kalau tak bgn jugak dalam masa 10 minit, memang kau akan dengar laungan abah aku dari dapur sambil membebel-bebel haha.
Yes, Ramadhan is the month where all of us 'remember' to wake up earlier coz of barakah of having "sahur" and perform solat after, rather than the other months. Maybe some of us perform "subuh gajah" or never wake up unless for going to work or start the day. Haa kau. Cakap omputih aku. Saje nk gilap skill yg berkarat ni.
O yea, I miss all the years old in Cairo and Alexandria. Also the foods that only can be bought during Ramadhan. Only in Ramadhan. Alah, sama la macam kuih Tepung Pelita beli kat bazar Ramadhan tu. Padahal time bulan lain, bersepah gak orang jual tapi time Ramadhan ni lagi bersepah-sepah sampai kau tak habis makan pun kan?
I miss the "Qutaif"* - a small round dish more likely mini "Lempeng" in Malaysia. Student Malaysia terlebih kreatif taruk isi kentang dalam tu pastu ketip jd mcm karipap tu. Lidah melayu nak cari taste melayu la jugak kan sbb sambal belacan takkan hilang di dunia gitu.
I miss the "Makarona Bisshamel"** that I bought in Suuk (Souq - market) near to my spaceless flat where I stayed before.
I miss the "Tarawikh" in Al-Azhar Mosque, Hussein Square, Cairo.
Surprisingly, I miss the whole thing in Ramadhan there, after all. Musytaqun giddan giddan!
Conclusion: May our ibadah will be blessed by Allah. Don't put yourself among those who does not believe in Allah and prophet Muhammad s.a.w. because they are absolutely got nothing but the Hell. Na'uzubillah.
Peace ! Selamat Berpuasa
* Qutaif - Kuih tu bulat-bulat, leper-leper ala dorayaki. Tak ada inti pon. Tapi sedap dimakan cmtu je.
** Makarona Bisshamel - Rupanya lebih kurang sama macam Makaroni bakar + keju + daging cincang. Ada satu kedai Makarona Bisshamel fevret saya di Suuk Mandara, Alexandria yang memang meletop sedapnya.
TQ for reading :)
