#picturesoflove : Ramadhan & Syawal 1433H (2012)

السّلام عليكم

 Peace be upon YOU! ;)

as i promised before,  here is my so called 'first episode' of #picturesoflove series! :D

as i highlighted in the title of this entry, it's about my life during the Islamic month of Ramadhan and Syawal.

throughout Ramadhan, most of my days were spent at campus since i only came back home twice.

which was during the 1st day of Ramadhan, and the last 3 days before we entered the month of Syawal.

Thus, down here is a picture of my meal to break my fast for most of the days i stayed at college.

looks delicious isn't it? :D

during the fasting month, i managed to cut down my spending to only RM5 per day! ;)

the rice costs me RM4 while another RM1 was spent to buy sweet & refreshing drinks.

heh, during normal days i usually bring along my drinking bottle where ever i go in order to avoid spending my money on water.

but during this fasting month, i don't know why,, i just can't resist those mouth watering drinks!

 after getting tired of the same menu at our Bazaar Ramadhan, Fiza, Zack and i finally decided to Iftar in the Pilah Town. :D

 after i get home 3 days before the Eid, i had once Iftar with my former classmates during secondary school. it was on the 28th of Ramadhan to be exact.

at first we decided to break our fast in Wangsa Walk,but due to fully booked tables in restaurants there, we finally Iftar at NZ Curry House nearby.

HAHAHA. i guess that was the first time i had 'Mamak' food to break my fast for my entire life! xD

oh, not to forget, we also had our side dishes which was Pizzas!

what a weird combination huh? Mamak + Pizza. :O

 uhmm, i actually brought along my old Bio book on that evening.

there was a lil 'mystery message' wrote by one of my classmate, which the person was actually promised me to reveal the message after we finished school. 

but naahhh~ it's still remain a mystery. -,-

1st Syawal, as usual it's the day which people would usually gathered with their extended family members and ask for forgiveness from each other.

 see, my little nephew and niece were trying to gain everyone's attention with those cute pose. :DDD

On the 2nd of Syawal, Afif invited me and Muzil for a visit to his house. Ohh my, it was quite some time i didn't met his mum! and finally we both met again, and how glad i was when she could still remember my name and all.

i could still remember that his mum had once taught me, Afif, Iela, Syue, and Anis the Additional Maths subject back in 2009. ;)

 however, we visited his house for quite a short time.

coz not long after we had a little chat with his mum, Afif suggested to visit Firdaus, another friend of us who was infected with measles.

The funny part was that Afif influenced us to accompany him to Wangsa Walk Mall afterwards just to had Popeyes for lunch??!!! HAHAHA. 

Heyy, everyone eat Rendang on first and 2nd of Eid lah Afif!! no one eat Popeyes! -,-"

 On 3rd day of Eid, Ayu's mum held an open house for the friendsss. :D

so yeah, we met again.

the menu was Laksa, Ketupat, Rendang, Meehun Goreng, okay too much to list out!

 and then on the 5th day of Eid, Iela organized another gathering for us!

the main menu was Mee Bandung! yummeyh~ but i had fever on that day, causing me to partially loss of taste. :(

 and finally on the 6th of Syawal, me and most of the other members of Sejahterian held our annual 'Raya Convoy' event for the third year! :)

for the past 2 years, we usually went to Liya's, Zue's, and Shila's house first early in the morning, then only we go down to Wan's, Yan's, Syarif's, Eryn's and all the other kids house till late in the evening. :)

but this year, we change the route the other way round! they came to my house first, then only i joined them to visit Afif's(AGAIN), Mira's, Eryn's, Yan's, Wan's, and the so called 'tiga serangkai' girls' houses. :D

 so here are some of the pictures. . . :)

 

 okay, that's all for now.

till then, c ya in the next #picturesoflove entry!

Ramadhan 1432H. [2011]

السّلام عليكم

Peace be upon YOU readers! ;)

  yeah i know. it has been quite some time i didn't update my blog.

so now it's time for me to do a so called 'summary' for what i've been passed through back in the fasting month. :)

okay, throughout the fasting month, i became a 'maid' in my house! LOL!

since my mum is a school teacher for the afternoon session, so she would come back home quite late,nearly to the breaking fast time.

so she said that i must cook at least a bowl of veggie every evening for the iftar meals.

for the rest of the dishes, like fish or chicken, she would bought it from the Bazaar Ramadhan.

so here's some sneak peek of the dishes that i cooked. ececee~ poyo!

 okay, do you notice that all of the five bowls of veggies above just look the same?? LOL!

the only thing that differentiate one to another is just the type of the veggie used. ROFL! 

and the must-have-ingredient in my dishes are surely the 'crab balls'.hahaa,,

 carrot cake that i've cut into two for my family and my aunt's family.

 

 dadih. :)

 chocolate jelly. [in the making]

 

 after getting bored of breaking fast at home for weeks, we finally iftar outside.

and the venue was at the Lanai Kijang Restaurant, Bank Negara,,

since my brother has worked at Bank Negara now, he's willing to pay the bill! theeeehee~ :D

the food and drinks at the restaurant is so so cheap compared to other restaurant because it has been subsidized. :)

 towards the end of the fasting month, i went out iftar with my old friends, the friends that i met during primary school!

i never thought that i could gathered back many of my classmates back in the year 2002 until 2005 through Facebook by creating a group, with the help of a class picture of mine as my reference. :D

after planning for few days and creating an event invitation on Facebook,, many of my old classmates gave a positive respond by answering either "attending", "maybe" or "not attending".

and the day finally came and that was the first time in my life i'm going out iftar with friends. theeehee~

but what disappointing me was many of the girls and boys suddently said that they couldn't join us.

out of 10 girls that answered "attending",only one did really came. -,-"

 so we asked Arif to made a prank calls to the girls and masquerade as Suhaimi.[one of our ex-classmate who's currently studying in France] telling that "i've just came back to Malaysia,,why don't you join us gathered? i miss you!" something like that,,so that they might believe and come to join us.HAHAHAA~

 and yeahh! one of the prank call victims came with her lil' sister. :D

 after Iftar, we went to the nearest arcade center and spent about half an hour there playing like little kids. :D

the five of us: Arif, Alif Fadhullah, Thalhah, me,and Fatin Amalina. :)

 the next night, i went out for Iftar with my family at Cheng Ho restaurant,the Chinese-Muslim food restaurant! :D

as many people had known,, the owner of the restaurant is the Malaysian legendary rock singer, Amy Search. "pheewiit~"

during Ramadhan, the restaurant changed into the buffet concept restaurant. eat all you can! :D

 Faheem was making some 'Boboiboy' actions in order to get attention from other people in the restaurant. haha. :P

 my little niece, Aleena! ;)

 my little nephew, Faheem! ;)

 nenek secretly feed Faheem a bowl of ice cream while his parents were away! :O HAHA.

Faheem's aeroplane and the bill. :)

 Faheem always afraid of cats! :P hihi~

i think that's all for now,,

later on insyaallah i'll update about my Syawal experience. :D

till then c ya!
