Ramadhan...

This will be my second Ramadhan back in my place after spending five Ramadhan at where I studied…

During Ramadhan, I prefer to fast at my place. Food taste nicer and it is cheaper too. Maybe it is just because I like to break my fast with local food.

Spending Ramadhan at where I used to study was not really that bad. I do not have problem with people eating in front of me. We are supposed to fast during Ramadhan while running around doing our daily life as usual. I find it weird that people here have to go home early, cannot do certain tasks and etc just because of fasting. That should not be the case…

The simplicity of breaking the fast and doing other ibadah there are not the same as in my place.

To be able to eat food from lots of different Muslims countries are just amazing.

The best advice I ever have for Quran reading, I got it in Ramadhan too… It is about how people nowadays try to finish the Quran or Qhatam as many times as possible in Ramadhan. Now it is not exactly a bad thing but with the focus more on just finishing rather than trying to understand it, we lose out on understanding Islam more.

It is best to have everything in moderation. Read Quran and understand it at the same time. I was told to read the meaning after reading it in Arabic. So that we can reflect and understand the messages relay to us from Allah…

May we gain more Iman and Taqwa through this Ramadhan…

Insyaallah…

Of Going Here and There...

Life after my graduation has been so unpredictable so far.

In a way, it is good because I get to do stuff I had only dream of when I was studying.

I graduated with high expectation of getting a job fast. Now, I am kind of expecting another no from another company I applied to. Like many people had said, a really bad time to graduate and to look for a job.

I am grateful that, while waiting to land a proper job, I had a part time job. A job where you will get more pay if you work more hours. With nothing much to do, hey, that will do. At least, I could pay for my stuff, bills, food (which was lots and lots of food) and courses.

It does feel good not to depend on my parents to do stuff that you want to do. Now I had lost that freedom until I get myself a job… Which can be any time now… Preferably NOW!

I do kind of hate to shift around. This time I had to move lots of stuff… Cripes, all the rubbish I had been collecting all these years, are truly rubbish. Books on the other hand, I could not part with. Sail with me to another place until we can get a proper place for ourselves.

I do not mind going around, as long as money keep coming in…
