Its been a long time

Salam and Hi, you all.

Yeah right, I apologise and yeah I know... This blog of mine has been ignored for a long time. My apologies not that I am vain enough to think that there are readers out there.

However a redeeming feature is that, i may have been quiet on the blogging front, (here and on the other one) it appears that I've been quite active on the social utility network called Face Book and those who are my FB friends have been getting updates on what has been happening to me and my family (no not the Mafia family - my real family you know Salmiah, Azlan, Imran and Sharidan), which has been S2D2, makan ulam, being sick and what not (Er, the makan part during buka, okay?)

Ramadhan has been smooth-sailing so far, syukur alhamdulillah. The family is facing it stoically and patiently - no more questions on why we should puasa. Well I guess my kids are big enough to know about the matter. It does help that the first day of Ramadhan was a Saturday and that that the first week of Ramadhan was during the school holidays plus Alhamdullilah the weather was kind.

Sahur, too, was not a nightmare with the kids - but hey they have grown up - and yes the years pass by without us parents noticing it. My better half is indeed the blessing in this house of mine. She would prepare everything and wake all of us up at 5:00a.m for Sahur without fail, except for that one day when she fell down and hurt herself. She is okay now but for the bruises on her hand and arm.

For our berbuka, we would hunt at the USJ 4 Bazaar Ramadhan. I would look for my nasi kerabu and the family for their favorite dish.

There's one stall which sells all sorts of kueh-mueh which I like. Their kuehs are tasty, and nicely made (comel) and clean. They sell very nice Kueh Kochi and badak berendam, the wife of course would look out for kuih ceria or is it Keria?). Then there is the queue for more than half an hour for the Popiah Basah which is definitely not for me.

Well as we approach the second half of Ramadhan which incidentally brings more blessings to us, insya Allah, I wish for all my friends and enemies (i hope not to have any but then again who knows) may Allah's blessings be on you and may your fast today and yesterday be rewarded with more than just hunger and thirst.
