Salam ‘alaik….
DearGoodOldLovedBuddy,
Hope u’re in the pink of health n imaan n u’re optimizing ur Ramadhan to e fullest!!
ِِِِMy typical Ramadhan day here in syam:
Sahur is @ 4.55 gitu & buka is @ 6.30++ gitu….
Tapi style!!!subhanal ilaah!!
The time change is so so fast!!
(time can move up one hour,for eg,iftaar is 6.30++ now but will become
5.30++ after 20th Ramadhan….mane nak rase gitu kat Spore??hehe…the most the time moves is +-20 mins max…:)
*In winter,as u noe,days will become shorter & nights will become longer…
hehe….jadi,more time to sleep!!!!haha….
Talking about winter,the nights have started getting really cold!!!if I may guess,its about 20 deg @ night now….
Even during the days,the heat is not so blinding as it was when I first came….sometimes,I can see the sun rays but when I stand in the ‘bright’ spot,I don’t feel as much heat as I see…amazing,kan???
*now,hamdanlillah,I can link whateva I studied during geog to real life…best!!
Ok,ok,sorry I sidetracked….back to ramadhan:
During ramadhan,most food outlets r closed in the earlier part of the day…
Aft zohor aje baru dibuka…
Walking through the streets of Suuq Jam’ah(the nearest market to my house)
after ‘Asar,I see people selling food of all types for juadah buka pause…
People here LOVE halawiyyat(sweet cakes and kuehs)…
One of my frens(u noe who u r!!;>)loves them so much that she becomes macam kempunan gitu…… I like them too,but not to that degree….
They r delicious,sweet but Fattening!!!so I have to be careful….
But here,I really get to see the varieties of food Allah has made and how He has made different tongues like the taste of different foods….((wallaahu ‘alaa kulli syai-in qadiir))…
--there is also something we name keropok Ramadhan….it looks like giant ‘papadoms’
with kurma(tamar) paste poured on it….this is my favourite!!!!
SedaAp sangat!!!
Alhamdulillaahil ladzii ath’amanaa wa saqaanaa!!!=>
One sad thing:
Most Jame’s(mosques) are closed during the day for women…
Nak I’tikaf susah…earlier in ramadhan,we tried the jame’s around our house one by one during ;asar…
All are closed….tapi once again,
All praises to Allah!!!
the jame’ nearest to my house(jame’ Muhyiddiin...picture above),remains open throughout the day for women…!!although I was chased out twice!!hehe(arabs change their rules in a split second—a few days back,the mosque keeper suddenly said that the women’s section will be closed @ 5pm….haiz…so,now,I don’t noe if I can still sit there
after ‘asar…only time will tell;<) I/allah I’ll tell u about the tarawih here in my next letter…
