Ramadhan is coming


Assalamu'alaykum warrahmatullahiwabarakatuh
                  Alhamdulillah, in couple of hours we can meet again with blessed month, Ramadhan! Yes, Ramadhan is coming. Ramadhan is here. So excited and happy to face RamadhanThis is the month when we will get lots of peace in daily life. For Muslims, this is a month full of worship with many blessings that can be obtained. Before i tell you about my experience in ramdhan i wan to tell you about fasting in Ramadhan. may i? ok check this out! Normally they will fasting for a month before Hari Raya and usually start from dawn until dusk.We are prohibited from eating, drinking and engaging in negatif activity. Besides that, they are also encouraged to control their negative temper such as anger and addiction. Therefore, fasting helps to develop good behavior.there is special exemption for a girl who period during the fasting month, but they have to replace it after that. Most of my friends, they replace it when near to another fasting month which is another year coming soon. There is a reason why they replace at that period.I do ifttar with my family and i experience it, fasting actually also make us close to each otherespecially with friends and family. Iftar  refers to the evening meal when we break our fast. Normally when they break their fast, they will Iftar with their friends and family. This is the moment, where they can spend time, sit and eat together. For family, mostly parent will cook. Its also can be likefamily gathering. That's why all my  friends leaving me here all. and went back home to eat mom's cooks. Besides that, all of their sibling will go back home as well. So, they can meet all the family members and spend time together.Then i also found out something that i like during fasting month, which is Bazaar Ramadhan~ 
              This is day five we do fasting. I know it is hard for the kids to wake up and have early meal at three. There those men fall asleep after finish their meals have sleeping.And for Ar and Ir, this is the first year they do a full fasting, from shubuh to maghrib. About 14 hours. It is dry season now, and days are pretty hot. With the daily activities they keep doing, it's wonderful how they can pass it well.
I hope they'll keep the spirit to the end of the fight.Ramadhan kareem. Have a great fasting month, everyone.Bazaar meaning market. In around my home, when it come to Bazaar Ramadhan, there is a lot of variety foods and drinks. You can get a lot of indonesia traditional foods which is not all the times we can get it such as my favourite food, risoles, tofu eith some vegetables in it, Ondeh-ondeh, donnuts, and so on. there are some drink too, such as : ice cendol, ice fruit and etc. But there is one thing that i don't like is, sometimes the seller took this chances to mark up the prices and also sold foods at small quantity. in bazar ramadhan a lot of people there, there are children join with their parent, brother or their sister. the bazar ramdhan usually open from 4pm until before we are iftar. bazar ramadhan always there are in ramaadhan every year. it's nice :)
             Beside I iftar with family , Iftar jama'i with my friend in indrakila street, I really happy can iftar with them. because they are my past friend, they school in pondok pesantren, there are live in lamongan, samboja and bandung. fiah, milah from samboja. and jundy from lamongan, and gilby from bandung. miss theem so badddlly!!!! but if ramdhan leaving :( they going to school again and leave me alone in Balikpapan :'(  i want to play again with them like five years ago ;'( i want to sharing with my sister, i want study together :"" hmmmm bbut life must go on. i miss, i can't communication with them, because in pondok pesantren their handphone musn't bring. they must focus with their study. ok , never mind for it. here i make duaa for my sis and my broo, may allah help they in their study and make thing easy for they. Insyaallhj. ameen :))). oh yeah, in 9 september i going to samboja. it's mean i will meet they, but only 3 pepole there fiah, kholfi and jundy . but i really happy :) i must prepare for it *big hug for they* :D
          Tik..tik..tik.... oh time! We only have 5 days, i.e. 120 hours before the end of Ramadan. Half of that time will be spent sleeping, eating, and working, so you roughly have 60 hours of Ibadah time.She just tell Yani to wake me up to help her make cookies.Officially this is my first time to make cookies by myself. We make it because we dont have any cookies for entertaining our guests in lebaran. Usually people make it before Lebaran but i dont have time for it due to my office activities and my duty as marching band player of kabupaten tangerang on independence day. So we just buy some cookies and my mom make it some. But that cookies already give out, so we make it.After I made it, I just thinking that it is easy and cheap. I will make it for everyone.And I will browse on internet some easy receipt cookies and make it for people around me.I will find rainbow cake receipt for my farewell party in office. Maybe I can make it for my friend in office :)My mom said that being a woman, we should be smart and creative. So we can make some money too.and I think woman's job like cooking or sewing is fitter for me than others job. Because it makes me happy,although I can do better for others job than my rivals. :p Yeah, I am me, I will try everything. Curios about what you can do is fun .I know I’m going to miss Ramadhan when it’s gone, but I feel like I’m not making the most of it.
             Dearest Ramadan can’t believe that your time with us has come to an end.Before you arrived I worried about how we would manage to accommodate such an honoured guest into our home and family. I need not have been concerned.Your arrival, as always, was one of joy and blessings.You brought light into our home. Your presence made sure we ate together, even in the early hours of the morning, experiencing the joy of family meals. You helped us control our tempers, and be that little bit kinder to each other. You allowed us to remember Allah together – and talk about The Merciful in greater depth.Some days, having you in our family was not easy. You demanded and challenged us. That, however, is what a good teacher does. You taught us that we can be self-disciplined. You showed us that we can rise to the challenge. You made us aware that we can better than we are. For all these things, and more, THANK YOU! We are going to miss you, but pray that we can welcome you into our home again next year.
