Yesterday, a few of us had iftar at Faizal's abode..
Food was potluck and as you can see, there were varieties to choose from... From homemade delicacies right up to food bought from Geylang's bazaar.
At the same time, we took the opportunity to celebrate the birthdays of September babies....Thx to Ima for the delicious cake from Emicake!

.:: My Fasting Son ::.
We have been fasting for almost 2 weeks now and I'm proud to say that my son, Ilyas is fasting too....Nope, its not the puasa 'yok-yok' where by afternoon he breaks his fast but he's been fasting full day, except for the first 2 days of Ramadan...
This year was his first experience in fasting.
The first day of Ramadan, he was practically begging me every hour, calling my handphone and asked if he could have his milk....told him that by afternoon, he could break his fast...Even my mom, who was taking care of him called saying that she almost gave-in to him when he pleaded to her with watery eyes using the reverse psychology of getting his milk. With his sad puppy eyes, he asked her if my mom loves him and if she does, to let him break his fast (and it was only 9am!).....I was on the other end of the phone trying to tell my mom not to 'fall' into his 'sad story traps' and only to let him break his fast in the afternoon!
Then on the 2nd day, he went to school which ended at 2.30pm. He was almost in hysteria when we did not want to let him break his fast when he was back from school but later we succumbed to his pleas and let him have his bottle of milk and only to continue the fast till the evening....
From the 3rd of Ramadan, Alhamdulillah, half day fasting is history. He began his full day of fasting without much problems encountered. No more reverse psychology, no more sad stories, except for occasional question from him if he could have his milk. Must be trying out his luck, i guess....and no tantrums thrown when we said he could only have it in the evening.
Insya Allah, he'll continue with his full day fasting regime till end of Ramadan. Ilyas darling, Abah & Ibu are very very proud of you!

.:: Sewaktu Dulu ::.
umtuk aku mengenali isi hatimu
yang selama ini kuidamkan
dikamar impianku pernah bersua
Sewaktu bila berdua dahulu
aku berjanji padamu tiada
akan ku abaikan kasih
kau beri padaku
Aku berubah sumpah setia
Kau tahu aku hanya insan biasa
sering kali aku terlupa
tapi tiada aku abai kasihmu
Sewaktu dahulu aku berjanji padamu
tiada akanku abaikan kasih kau beri
sewaktu bila berdua dahulu
aku berjanji padamu tiada akan
ku abaikan kasih kau beri padaku
Beri padaku
sedikit waktu
untuk aku mengenali
isi hati mu

.:: Iftar & Geylang ::.
Together with the Alteregoz as they used to call themselves, we had our Iftar at Restaurant Makanan Laut Chai Chee yesterday. It was a long overdue treat from Ani...
Thanks Ani for the scrumptious meal!
After a full tummy of delicious seafood, we headed to Geylang to check out the Ramadan Bazaar over there.... As usual, it was packed with people, mostly busy window shopping....
We didn't get anything for ourselves except for a few rounds of drinks while we window shopped as last night was sure a hot night at Geylang...

.:: Ramadan ::.
Tomorrow marks the first day of the Ramadan month. A month where Muslims around the world fast in the day and increase their religious activities over the month...
A month full of barakah and a month of abstinence. Patience and perseverance are the keywords. For me, this will be the month to shed some 'excess baggage'!
I'm taking the opportunity to wish all Muslims around the world....

.:: A.C.T.I.V.E / Day / Ride ::.
A.C.T.I.V.E Day
Last Friday was Active Day @ work and the company was having some official brisk walking in the morning at the Toa Payoh Stadium for some of the staff to participate.
Our department had our own Active Day games being held in the late afternoon at Toa Payoh Garden. We had a competition of Kampung Games between the different units in our dept.
Some of us went down to support our colleagues competing and formed our own cheer team. My unit didn't win any games but we did won the best cheer, though....and here's some of the pics taken from my N80 hp.

Day Ride
On Saturday, we decided to tag along with some riders for a day ride via Coastal route to Kuantan, then to travelled along the Karak highway to KL and back to Singapore by highway
We started with 14 riders & 3 pillions. Then 2 headed back to Singapore from Mersing, 1 couple decided to go to Tioman and another 2 riders bid us farewell at Kuantan as they are heading for Cherating...
Journey started at about 9am and ended at Gelang Patah at about 11+pm... Approx 1000km covered and the weather was most of the time wet and there were moments we were caught in heavy downpour but yet we continued the ride...
