Here we go again. Alhamdulillah, You giving me another chance to meet this holy month. This is the first day of fasting and I honestly hope everything will run smooth until the winning day, Ied Fitri. I love this month so very much, I can tell you some of my favorite things about Ramadhan.
Only this month I'll be able gasping fresh air without cigarette's ashes (only in between fasting hours, well that's okay). This can be happened since my community mostly are Moslems, and unfortunately some of them smoke. As smoking can breaking our fast, they'll quit smoking while doing fasting. Well, I couldn't ask for more I supposed.
Lots of sudden reunions, spending time with friends; school friends, college friends, old friends, officemates, besties, my little circle of family, my cousins, or even a truly family gathering. Meeting up, sharing new stories, while doing break-fasting.
All those sweet snacks.. Owh, don't you dare telling me you can actually refuse cendol, kolak, es teler, es campur, sop buah, sarikaya, sweet cakes, all those jajanan pasar, choco pudding, cingcau... (okay, I'll stop, I forget I'm fasting while writing this, hahaa). At my home, we have some habit, Mom used to make some list of tajil (snacks for break-fasting before we eat proper food, read: rice) from the first day, until the last day of fasting. Mom usually makes most of the snack on the list. And sometimes I help her.
Ngabuburit. This one kinda tradition in Ramadhan. This is just some kind of activity we do while waiting for Magrib. Sundanese named it, ngabuburit. Usually starts from 3 o'clock, and kiddos usually playing games in the alley, or in the park. I used to do ngabuburit in weekend with my family, doing window shopping or monthly shopping.
Family's quality time. Nothing compares to spending quality time with your family. I, my sister, Mom and Dad. Sitting on dining room, doing break-fasting, sharing stories, then take a pray together, with Dad as an Imam before we have dinner.
Actually there're more to say about this month, but since I have to pack my things and go home, maybe in another post, hehee. Happy fasting to all Moslems. And to others, thanks for being tolerance to us in this month. ;)
