Ramadhan

Alhamdullilah. Once again Ramadhan has graced us with its presence. Long have I counted the days till Ramadhan.

First day of Ramadhan
Excitedly woke up for sahur. Though excited, I felt aimless. Entered the kitchen looking for food but to no avail. Clueless I was in choosing what to consume to repel hunger from my mind and body the whole day. In the end, my dear mother made scrambled eggs. I had egg sandwiches for sahur. Sure enough that kept me quite full throughout the day. Yup, it might seem little but the weeks before Ramadhan I was fasting. Fasting to pay my debt with Allah. So the practice was really helpful. Waking up before dawn to eat was a significant mark to the start of Ramadhan. The night before we even prayed tarawih as a family at home.

What I did on the first day...
Nothing much. Listened to surah Yaasin  in an attempt to memorize it. Since school will be starting soon, there's much to do to prepare. Plus, spring cleaning well, Ramadhan cleaning actually, happens around this time. The house has to be cleaned by the time Aidilfitri arrives. There's plenty to say about the cleaning process but thus far this blog post is reporting pretty mundane whatnots.

Yet, I will continue. For I am attempting to record everyday of my Ramadhan this year. Insya-Allah I can improve on how I spend my Ramadhan with each passing year.

Second day of Ramadhan
I did not wake up for sahur. I stayed awake the whole night. Aiyayai. I was choosing and bidding for my modules and its no easy feat securing the modules. Disheartening when you get outbidded and the module you want is a core module. I'm still a little pissed about that. Then again, everything happens for a reason and especially in the month of Ramadhan. Allah loves us everyday regardless of our situations. The more Allah loves us, the more Allah gives us challenges. To see if we truly deserve Allah's love.

Grumpily, I dragged myself into the kitchen. Scavenged for food and decided to eat my mum's cooking.
During the day, I spent my time again worrying about my modules. Whether I would get them etc. Gosh, I hate this bidding for modules period. Because I think too much for my own good. Too much thinking leads to insomnia leads to disrupted pattern of sleep leads to waking up late leads to mum's anger pouring over me. Even now as I type this I am awake at bloody 3 in the morning.

Okay, enough of my mundane whatnots and rantings. This post was supposed to be a positive one.

 I hope and pray that Ramadhan this year would be a better and memorable one for all Muslims. Insya-Allah.
