Four Firsts

Today, as we all know is our first day of ramadhan. I am fasting today. Not the time for "bendera Jepun" just yet. Last year aku puasa penuh, sebab aku mengandungkan Zachary. Masa itu awal-awal aku ngandung, so banyak angin dalam badan. Buka puasa aje muntah balik. Sahur aje muntah balik. The horrors. Aku cengkung tak kasi can. Tapi aku malas tak nak puasa. Sebab pertama aku tak larat nak ganti. Berpuasa waktu bulan tak puasa begitu banyak dugaannya. Secondly aku tak sure about the fidyah thingy, aku tak puasa because I am worried about me or the baby. Personally I think the baby will be fine, but I don't want to get into the situation yang syak wasangka tu. So I fast.

Genrally I am the type yang malas nak bangun sahur. I woke up, only for a glass of plain water and kurma then kebabo aku tidur balik. If I want to eat pun, I would eat late at night or very early in the morning. But this year would be different. My eldest, Haziq, wants to try fasting this year. And I said ok, it's a good age to try fasting. Even though I remembered I only fast when I was 9. Haziq is 7. But kids nowadays are advanced by at least for a few years. If for a good cause, why not? This is Haziq's first day of fasting in his entire life.

Batrisyia only ask, kita kena pakai baju apa masa puasa? Boleh pakai baju cantik tak?

So I woke up at 4:30 and fried some ikan bawal. That is also my first in my entire life. Cook for sahur. Sayur daun-daun aje. Potong bawang sikit and the red chillies campuran dalam kicap, letak air sikit dalam kicap tu bubuh gula sikit aje just to compensate the salty taste. So makan ikan cicah kicap pedas. Gigit-gigit cili dengan bawang tu yang sedap tu. Dan makanlah sahur simple aje.

Haziq woke up, sleepy eyes and all. He ate little. I insisted he drink the hot milo and ate kurma. He hates the korma. But I made him ate.

Then I sliced up some mangoes. So itu ajelah sahur.

Today the 5th October also marks my first year of blogging. I think it has been, for me, a self satisfying adventure. Ala-ala syok sendiri gitu. My first intention was to record things I go through in my mundane life. So later on, in life, in case I have gone senile, I can read back and who knows I may remember myself again or laugh at this Lollies.

And I am glad for all these for I have made friends with many. I don't even have to go anywhere, I can sit on my big fat ass and still make friends. Some of you guys have helped me a lot in so many ways that you probably do not even realise. It's amazing to find friends this way. Thank you to YM too.

There are some that I have met, live, up close and personal and some remain friends in the comment and haloscan box. And all have driven up the curiosity and the funny bone in me.

Because of blogging I also know the term LOL and the smiley faces :-)..even though I still do not know what this symbol means =). Where are the eyes?

So today, the 5th October has a lot of firsts.

Saya ucapkan Selamat Berpuasa kepeda mereka yang diwajibkan berpuasa dengan ucapan buat apa tu? Korek hidung ke?
