Raihah and Anisz stories ;)

Raihah, a teacher to be, studying in UPSI has tagged me. A pretty simple one buat kinda personal. I may not answer them honestly hahaha!!! Just joking my dear Raihah :).


The Rules:
answer all questions sincerely...as simple as that..

1. when did you start fasting?
   When I was in standard 1 - half day though. Is that considered fasting? hehehe...
   
   
2. when did you start understanding the true meaning of fasting?
   I don't quite remember this one since I'm a very much older now. Got some memory depletion ;). If I'm not mistaken, it happened when I was in secondary school.
   
   
3. Do you like fasting?
   I used to think fasting is tiring but not anymore. It really helps my body to relax. Of course, there're so much more that I like about fasting :).
   
   
4. how about 'sahur'?
   So far, I haven't missed my sahur. Alhamdulillah. Our menu - the same menu as our Iftar ;).
   
   
5. break fast?
   I have to cook myself huhuuuu. There's no bazaar ramadhan. There's no maid to cook for me. There's no mom's cooking too :(.
   
   But, there was one day that I took my day off (from cooking). We bought kabsa!
   
   
6. how often do you perform solat terawih??
   Hmmm... we just started our fasting month, right. Only 8 days. It went okay so far. Alhamdulillah.
   
   
7. tadarus al-Quran??
   I used to do that when I was in boarding schools. Not anymore :( - with the chores and etc. I did my best to recite the Al-Quran at least once a day.
   
   
8. do your daily activity differs between ramadhan n other months??
   Pretty much. I don't have to make coffee for the breadwinner for the whole month :). My kids were not asking for what to eat in the afternoon since one of them is fasting. What else?? I have to wake up as early as 2.30am for the sahur. There are a few other things that I couldn't recall...
   
   
9. what are you hoping for this ramadhan??
   I really hope and wish that all the good deeds that I do during the Ramadhan will persist in other months too. Of course, I wish to meet with the Lailatul Qadar. Insyaallah...
   
   
10. sad of??
    I won't have a chance to break my fast with my parents and siblings :(.

I don't wish to tag anybody. Whoever wish to do this, with open arms, go ahead :).

Last but not least, our menu for yesterday's Iftar. Frankly speaking, I really forgot to take a picture of the food yesterday. I was pretty 'kalut' preparing for the Iftar. Since we're having the same menu for the sahur, I snapped the photo before our sahur hehee.. This time, I got no model since all of them were sleeping while the picture was taken. Well, we had Ikan Tanda+Gelama Masak Sambal, Chicken Soup, Singgang Ikan Tenggiri, Bayam Masak Lemak and Keria as dessert I don't know when is that someone gonna be bored eating keria :P. We had one more delicious kuih tapi dah habis immediately jugak :). Thanks a lot to the responsible sedap kuih maker ;). By the way, we had Bandung yesterday. No picture of it coz' it has finished immediately :).
