Selamat Menyambut Ramadan...

Hello ppl of the world..hehe..mcm banar bah me ah becakap sama ppl m around the world..Been quite a long time since my last entry..just been busy d past week or so...busy doing stuff at work & life..not so much of life plg tu..Im on my 1st night shift & its the start of 1st Ramadan...

Sambil2 kan menunggu sahur...i decided to do some writing in my blog...colleagues yg lain udah knock down...kepisan tapi i know drg atu tido2 ayam..ia tah krg kan makan drg for sahur coz semua jadi ayam dah hehe...Anyway, would like to wish all muslims around the world a joyful & happy Ramadan...1 mth of fasting..the holy month of Ramadan marks the time when muslims around the world would fast from dawn till dusk...enduring all the challenges that Allah have in mind for each individual muslim.

Was remembering those times when i started the fasting month in spore last year. The fasting month fell during the 2 wks 'block' week where all of us were in the poly for our theory. If my mind remembers correctly..i had one exams paper during that time or was it a few of my assignments were due for submission. But i managed to do it & submitted them on time.

Fasting month & being in another country was quite a sad thing coz the 5 of us who were there for studies were actually 1st timers having to fast & endure the fasting month away from our families. Its a tradition for Bruneian muslims to gather during the breaking fast on the 1st day of Ramadan. But for us, it was just the 5 of us & we had classes but it was a great experience. I remembered that we all gather at one of the girls' house & was planning to bring food for breaking fast. Among us, i finished my classes early so i had ample time for rest & going out to buy food for the gathering later. But..knowing me being the sleepy head...slept thru till abt 6pm...

Noticing that it was 6pm & thinking in mind that the breaking fast time was similar to the time in Brunei...i jumped out of bed..had a quick shower & took a cab to buy some food & thinking "Shit..Shit..Shit!!..im late & they must have been waiting my share of food. When i arrived at the girls' place..i saw them still waiting for the time to break fast...being so used to breaking fast at a regular time in Brunei...the waiting for Spore's time was painstaking..haha..lapar bah..coz that morning ..i had an early sahur coz my classes started at 8am ulike the girls where their classes started around 10am i think.

So kami ani biasa la..belimpangan udah mcm langau kana spray shieldtox...kes kelaparan banar udah & moderately dehydrated. Makanan udah pld behidang di atas meja..menunggu kana jamah je..mcm di Brunei..menungga tah kami ni azan d tv coz nda tau channel apa kan di tune in for azan arah radio..haha..almost 9mths d spore.,.masih jua nda tau which channel kan mendangar azan..ketara bah channel lain yg di dangar..kwang3x...

Anyway..tunnggu punya tunggu..nada jua azan ani..so one of decided to call our muslim frens d spore..rupanya udah dlm 10mins urg sungkai..atu ya bila udah tau atu..bediri bah tarus sorang2..baca niat buka posa & dengan rakusnya makan..haha..nada lah..tertib masih kami walaupun kelaparan...as usual semua makanan kan di rasa..had a long list of menu on the table...tapi yg di jamah..sikit2 jua ganya...

Lahib bah usul sorang2 time makan ah...tapi jgn silap..masih control ayu sorang2...as usual..lapas makan..begambar tah jua coz betenaga udah sorang2 kan senyum...hehe..sadly one of us nada in the pic coz classnya abis akhir & she had group discussion jua for the project that they are doing..kesian jua tu...mcm tah drg nda dapat tundaka ke esoknya coz kami kan kumpul sama2 for sungkai...ceh!!...binawi bnr drg ah..but its ok...we left some food for her..in fact a lot..mcm2 bule di talannya bila ia balik & bule lagi bah jua pakai sahur..

The days after that was mcm hari2 biasa je di sana atu..mcm nda posa jua rasanya coz nda kerasahan bah suasana posa di sana...tampat membali barang penyungkaian pun a bit far so slalunya i just tapau from poly's cafeteria or biasa la d kadai b4 balik.

After the 2 wks, kami semua kuar for our clinical attachments. The girls mostly kana morning shift & office hours but me kana shift duties di Kandang Kerbau Women & Child Health Hospital. D spore..kaja mcm biasa..nda kira bangsa apa...so for me..kalau me posa..my break time atu biasa la..me ke nurses lounge d tingkat satu n catch up on my beauty sleep. Nada urang peduli kan behapa tani d lounge atu...kan bekaraoke bule...tido bule...basically apa2 saja bule la...but mesti during break time je...Ngalih la kaja di sana atu coz patients banyak berabis..the ward tampat me attachment atu lagi slalu full...kan patah saja nda kaki ani bah mejalan & buat kaja..posa tah lagi..dugaan tah bnr....but ada jua sioknya coz tau2 kan time sungkai tah udah if kaja ptg...kalau kaja pagi..balik rumah je tarus masuk bilik tarus pengsan..haha.
