-Ramadan and Singapore -



Ramadan oh Ramadan...

Tomorrow, Muslims from all walks of life (particularly in Singapore) will be fasting as it marks the beginning month of Ramadan for the year 1429 Hijri. Yahoo!! ....I believe many of us have drafted plans to fill in activities throughout Ramadan.. and also have managed schedule and time in order to make ourselves available for variety of program which have been laid down by Mosques or organization.

When we talk about Ramadan in Singapore, there are 3 things that i like:

1- Mosque : to be honest, i like to see mosques occupied with the staff, volunteers and congregation whom will spend several hours cooking and distributing the porridge, preparing meals for breaking fast..pray together and overnight for qiyamullail. It will give me the sense of satisfaction and peace whenever look at them..that's the true spirit of Ramadan...credit to them whom make it 'hip and happening' in the mosque..May your kind and sincere efforts shall be put in the Hasanah scale on the Judgement Day.

2- Bazaar : Geylang Serai will be the central attraction for most Muslims. For myself, i always went to bazaar for browsing and sometimes buying baju melayu...butang2 baju...buying foods especially dendeng :> and meeting friends...on top of all, its a nice place to go. :>













3- Iftar : this session is actually an opportunity to gather family members, friends and colleagues to strengthen the bond. As for this year's iftar, im planning to break fast with fellow 37(sab-ah-wath-thalathun) friends in somewhere that condusive and comfortable..a place where not too many people...and of coz, the food must be marvelous !! hehe...any place to recommend?

Happy Ramadan !!

1st posting : objective and intention from blogging

1st 1st 1st...!! yes, i guess this is the right time for me to go back to the world of blogging ~ welcome Ahlan Maaz...

Actually, i had my previous blog at wordpress but seems that its not that easy and friendly to use it, after making several comparison and read some of the reviews, i decided to put an end to it and of opinion that not even a single company at the moment are able to match with Google's ability, creativity and intelligence when it comes to search engine, data and features. I love to use Google anywhere as it is more friendly and professional. Plus, i'll be using Google a lot both for my academic and business.

Back to the topic stated above, i'd like to share with you of what's actually from my frame of reference, the blogging world means to me...which i believe that this as one of many evidences of human civilization in the 21st century.

Blog can be used for several purposes :

- as a platform for individuals to write and express whatever that come out in their minds (like myself now).
- as a form of 'modern diary' especially for female...fresh and new approach. (if u look around, you'll find that most of blogs which pertaining to personal and private life are the one from Venus)
- for business purpose, you'll find nowadays few blogs designed for selling off their stuff or offering services.

whatever their means, blog for myself is not more than just SHARING ideas and thoughts. REFLECTING to whatever happen around me,,

Another intention is to practice writing skill...especially English!! . it's an aspiration for me also to become a professional author/writer whom will author at least 10 books before i close my eyes...ameen. (Oh Allah, grant my wishes in this blessed month of Sya'ban, O Allah the Most Loving and Merciful)

Regards,
