-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 !!
