Today is the first day of Ramadhan.. most of the people in the world knows that Ramadhan is a month for the muslim, like me, to fast.. we don't eat and drinks for the whole day.. from dawn till dusk.. the good thing about living in Malaysia during fasting month, the time is always around 6.30 am till 7.30pm.. it might change a few minutes earlier or later, but always in that range of time.. in other country, it really depends on the season.. and for this year, Ramadhan fall on Summer Season.. hmmmmmm longer day time .. so be strong my friends in other European or American countries .. i'm sure you can do it!!! :D remember the Eid in Syawal, and you'll be ok..

Ramadhan is a holy month for Muslim.. as were told by Quran, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the
criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him
fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, a number
of other days. Allah desires for you ease; He desires not hardship for
you; and that you should complete the period, and that you should
magnify Allah for having guided you, and that perhaps you may be
thankful (Wikipedia).
I'm really blessed to be in a family that still have religious value .. we were trained to fasting since I was 9yrs old.. and nowadays, I traveled around the world, meet lots of people, being around people (muslim and non muslim).. most of the time, I feel so blessed that although i'm not really a religious person, but my family always guide me if they think i'm a little bit lost in my daily journey.. i'm pretty sure if i don't have them in my life, i wouldn't be able to feel the beautiful of ramadhan and eid and tarawikh and many others.. i probably drag to the other way of life.. Islam is about the beauty in your heart.. if you don't have that, you'll feel that all the directions given by Allah and the Prophets sounds hard to do.. 5 times prayers, fasting and others.. but once you find the love, you know why you're doing it and you'll embrace it.. so i can give all my credit to my family for whom i become today (the good in me) .. and the bad in me, is all my bad judgement and decision in life.. ;)
Today is also the first day i stayed at my apartment.. my new apartment .. it's a small place, and i always look at it as a big room, rather than small apartment.. so as a room, i don't have a kitchen.. not enough place to put my stuff .. and very limited area for any activities.. but deep inside me, i'm happy with the place.. it's mine!!!!!! my own place!!!! at the age of 35 (ahhhh now you know my age), i just got a place that can be call mine.. hahahaha ..
