Today is the first day of Ramadhan, which means the first day of the fasting month for Muslims.
Yesterday, on my way back to office, I made a short trip to Jusco Supermarket in Mid Valley Megamall to buy some food (and I had two things on my mind all along, one type of fish and 1 tray of chicken wings)… I drove through the heavy (massive!) traffic along Jalan Bangsar (because I came from Jalan Semantan, headed towards Jalan Mahameru and exited at Jalan Bangsar) and I looked at my watch, it showed 6.15pm – damn! Right at the peak of rush hour…. What was I thinking??? My car was literally crawling and I think I was 2 seconds away from going nuts. I stopped by KL Sentral to pick up my husband and off we went to Megamall.
Well, parking was easy… of course not everyone was as insane as me. Who wants to drive to this area during rush hour?? Me, of course! Remember I told you that I had only two things on my mind? I ended up buying twenty… still number 2, but with a 0 (20).. hah! Talking about shopping list, how we need to control our spending, always buy what you planned to buy, bla bla bla… they don’t and never apply to me, ever! So, I grabbed 2 trays of chicken (wings and drumsticks), giant sized prawns, fish, all types of veggie that I could lay my hands on, green peas, minced mutton and my husband got a box of Honey Oats cereal for himself. Well, had to make this trip worth the journey.
So this morning I got up at 4am, went down, fried the chicken and fish, made some sweet & sour sauce for the fish, cooked the veggie, went up to wake up the husband & daughter, came down again, ate diligently (need to make sure I filled up my tummy sufficiently or I’ll be like a rotten vegetable all day), drank, cite the ‘doa’, washed the dishes and went up again. My daughter who is turning 8 this December was eating with her eyes half closed (poor thing! But need to train her early). It was already 5.15am when I jumped into my bed again for a short nap while waiting for my alarm to go off again at 6am.
That will be the ritual for the next 29 days of my life before Aidil Fitri comes around… yeay!!!!! Soon, I’ll be busy baking cookies and cakes for my customers (hmm… money, money, money……) Yes, I will snap some shots of the cookies and cakes to showcase here.
Till then, Selamat Berpuasa to all and may we be blessed with all the good things during this holy month of Ramadhan.
