1st week of Ramadhan

alhamdulillah, it has been almost a week since we started fasting last saturday.

hanif is doing well, cuma on the first day nampak penat sikit. dia dah puasa penuh since standard one. sofea would always say she wants to puasa, but would continue eating after imsak.

i have tried my best to be as efficient as possible sejak tak de maid. and i kinda getting used to it... cuma kena ada more effort in cooking. yang lain-lain dah ada banyak progress. tapi i tak suka mop lantai, and tak de masa nak siram pokok. hanif yang siram pokok. hubbyby would manage the bathrooms and toilets.

we don't quite like the food at the bazaar ramadhan. after a few days of buying, hubbyby voiced-out that he prefered home-cooked food. so i tried to prepare at least 2 dishes lepas balik kerja. it would be sayur and satu lagi would be a seafood-based dish, sebab cepat nak prepare. ikan and ayam or daging kena defrost lama sikit before boleh masak, and selalunya tak sempatlah kalau hari kerja.

we do not take rice for sahur. the sahur is much simpler. we usually have bread with butter and cheese, toasted the traditional way, not using the bread-toaster. hashbrown potatoes and mushroom soup. and yesterday we had spaghetti bolognaise. hanif would also have his usual cereals.

l have other plans for sahur... pancakes, garlic bread, tuna sandwich. may be fried mee or fried nasi goreng, but i tak suka oily food, especially during sahur.

i'm quite efficent in clearing the table and cleaning the dishes. everything would be cleared before 8pm for iftar. kita memang tak suka tengok sink penuh and meja yang tak dikemaskan. i slept early after the prayers... penat! and kena bangun at least at 4.30 am for sahur. so... dah lama jugak tak tidur lepas kul 11 malam.

during sahur time, i would do the washing of clothes too, and iron the clothes while waiting for subuh. kain yang tak perlu iron would usually be folded before iftar, or malam after solat.

tadarus kat klinik, kita masuk surah ali-imraan. and kat rumah, kita baru habis surah al-hijr, but this is continuation from my usual reading. this ramadhan, kita tak mula dari al-baqarah... rasanya macam tak sempat je, sebab banyak buat kerja lain and ngantuk!

hari ni kita nak balik KB. ehm... rasa nak makan nasi kerabu and daging bakar.. yum, yum...
