at first i was anticipating for Ramadan to arrive. but my adrenalin pumping moments were gone when i first began to notice some signs of an AV*(aunt's visit) now, i don't get to officiate the 'opening ceremony' of Ramadan like what the rest are going through. (terawih, and having their pre-dawn meal on 5th October etc...) but of course, this is a nature's call. cant be helped. so i would make the best of my 'rest days' to prepare for some other important stuff. i've got two new sets of clothings. (last year i was given the permission to claim for a new set of clothings but i did not. not sure if it has expired) and i've also bought a box of dates(prunes) for break-fasting purposes. well, i guess that's about it. hopefully i didnt miss anything out so far. because i didnt want to do last minute shopping in the 'always-so-crowded-bazaar'.... stickysmellysardine-packedbazaar... hmmm...
i am not sure if i should remind my mentor again, that i needed some pointers about the things to do during Ramadan, verses to recite, what to do and what to avoid etc etc... i remembered telling him once that i needed a little more attention or guidance much earlier. i dont want to keep on nagging because i was afraid of him getting frustrated that i keep pestering him. sigh, what should i do now? get on the internet for help? is it a bad sign that i should always rely on others for help? i hope they understand for i'm still undergoing 'probation'. its only coming close to 8 months of conversion... please forgive if there's anything that i've said or done wrong.
i'm also requ-ing around. hoping to get invites from friends to visit their homes on the 1st day of Hari Raya. but looks like, things arent looking good. This is the day for families to get together with their close ones, how am i suppose, as a stranger to join people's families for visiting leh? hmmm...i wonder?? maybe i'll pass my time in shopping centres after the 'eid-fitr' prayers.
anyway, the bridge will be there when i get there. (literally translating a chinese proverb) if you know what i mean.
