Today mark the first day of the Puasa month, and at times like this, I do really miss home cooked meals. I started the day with instant noodles, bread with Nutella spread and a cup of milk. Yeah not much of a breakfast eh.
But then again, when I was at home during the fasting month, it was no different lah.
Dad will sometimes try to buy some food the night before, but usually it’s crappy food. We usually tended to our own food. But however when Grandma is in town, she would cook the bestest food ever man! When I’m supposed to lose weight during this time of the month, I’ll gain an extra kilo or two, haha!
My little sister do cook herself but more of the pasta and healthy diet kind of spread. She don’t really cook often but when she does, it will be like a mini majlis (buffet).
You can say I’m kinda deprived on home cooked food for like the longest time ever! That’s why when friends invite me over to their houses, I’ll always look forward to their mums cooking. I do miss mum’s sambal goreng and laksa, so don’t take for granted what your mummy cooked for ya eh!
Anyway not many Muslim at my Hall, all if not most are those from Indonesia. They speak like a whole new language to me, even it is Bahasa.
This is the first time, I’ll be so called away from home during the fasting month for the longest time. The other occasion was during my National Service stint. I wonder hows my overseas Muslim friends and mates are coping. Cicak!
Well as some of you might felt, the quake tremors was felt last night. I was all the way in Boon Lay. I was in my Hall room and I could clearly feel the table trembling. When I asked my roommate if he felt it too, he said “Got mah?” No feeling lah my roomie
Then the next morning around 7.40am, I think it was the aftershock. Again I could felt the tremor even more infact. This time my roomie did noticed the tremors. I told him, if anything were to happen, we could use our sprinting talent to save some damsel in distress from the buildings.
He lamely replied, “You’re getting more and more desperate”
And yes, the whole of yesterday my blog was down, and if it does again, well it’s due to the high server usage. I just hope I don’t need to get a dedicated server. It cost a bomb!
Did anyone miss my blog? :p

I was at nicoll highway, driving, when I felt my head spinning at around 1920 hrs last night. Nasib bawak slow jer.
Just realised that the tremors are getting more and more frequent these past few.. weeks ?

Eh i also felt the tremor this morning! But you know what’s funny? I was like.. hmm.. okay this chair is shaking… is it cuz my tummy is growling? wakakkakaka! It was only when my friend called that i realized what i felt was a tremor hohohohoo.
happy fasting sha sha. maybe one day, i ask my mom if she’s ok with cooking for you lot, then i shall invite you since kita tinggal macam neighbour :)
Hahahahah.
Yah lor me too. I thought, “wah lau.. first day of fasting very paisey to hear my stomach.”
Kwang Kwang Kwang

i only felt the tremors at work. but not at home. why lei?
and yes. food for sahur and buka is crappy nowadays. and i missed my mum’s cooking. u la. remind me of it. tsk

bukan making u jealous and hungry.. ahhahaha.. i was just sharing.. sharing is caring.. haahaa.. kan.. kalau da study abroad.. dapat lah makan homecooked stuff at my place.. my friends are always over be it day, night, sahur or buka, fasting or not.. its like chill station for nostalgic moments bck home..
haha reminds me of the sharing & caring campaign we had!
i always break fast alone on weekdays… so sian,,. my cats normally accompanies me, food wise is great but mom is working (she very degil, dont want to stay home, very boring she said), teni always go pray terawih and have to break fast at home for the first 2 weeks… so im always alone , so sad u know when i see ppl break fast together with their family members, then pray together…. :( only during weekends can break fast with my mom..
ishk kesian dia
maybe we could setup a lonely break fast support group
when your roomie said you were taking a hiatus from blogging, i really thought he meant it. i’m gonna kill him. haha
“got meh?” that is sooo like him and awwwww..you are making me miss him =(
and his reply to you abt rescuing damsels in distress….hehe..good one! he’s been “taught” well. hehehehe
i miss home food…and fasting month makes it even worse…but i guess we cope dun we?
