Assalammulaikum! Already five days into Ramadhan and I finally get to spend my weekend at home for a change after two consecutive weekends travelling. Quite blissful actually to just be home and not do much except reading and sleeping in between pottering in the garden and empytying and hanging up the washing - how deliciously mundane.The first two days of fasting I could not find any Ramadhan bazaars (which is really absurd) coming back from work and ended up the first day buying cold lunch food from the traditional Indian-Muslim restaurant and on the second, pies and cakes from Secret Recipe! Quite pathetic really in terms of berbuka fare but how much could I eat anyway! The fourth night an abundance of food at my dear brother-in-law Long's house and last night even more food at brother Wes's house. He had a full house with his four children and their children and this lone uncle and it was such a merry, boisterous feel-good occasion plus the congregational Maghrib (where he recited a most beautiful and touching doa at the end of the prayer), Isyak and later terawikh prayers. What a truly happy and united family, bless them.
And bless everyone too, happy Ramadhan! May His multiple blessings be upon us.

Selamat Berpuasa from me, cik mar & the kids. it sure is nice to berbuka beramai-ramai..
Selamat berpuasa Roem.
Now I finally understand that u too r the lone uncle.
Luckily when there are extended family, there are always the invitations for berbuka and Hari Raya gatherings.
Life really is fun, isn't it? :-)
Thank you all. Puasa has been a breeze so far despite my first at home in five years. It must be really long there in UK! Anyway I have successfully negotiated to leave for a compulsory business trip to Shanghai on the 2nd day of Raya, otherwise I will be on the fight on Raya day itself! Wouldn't that be something! Salam to all.
