Planning For Ramadhan



I expect Ramadhan this year would be slightly different from last year's since the kids may not be with us. We had such a blast fasting with the kids. I tried various new recipes. There will be sweet cakes almost every night for moreh. I will be in the kitchen, half of the time, cooking something.





This year would be much simpler which may not be such a bad thing. I could just focus on eating healthy and being healthy. I could focus on reading the Quran perhaps attending taraweh at the surau.

My ideal ramadhan schedule

4.30    wake up for night prayer, read quran
5.00    sahoor [oats, kurma, fruits, eggs, bread]
6.00    subuh, read quran
7.00    prepare for office if WIO
1.30    zuhur read quran
4.30    asar read quran
5.00    distribute kurma in ttdi/penchala
6.00    prepare for berbuka 
7.30    light berbuka [fruits, yogurt]
8.00    proper food [salad, quinoa, fish, chicken]
8.30    isyak, taraweh, quran
9.00    light exercise
10       sleep

May Allah grant us the opportunity to meet Ramadhan this year


Gratitude List No. 2 of 2021


I was suppose to write this on February but I guess life happens and today is already the 7th day of April. I am so thankful that I still have a life. I am healthy, well, still employed, very much busy with work and ever so grateful with everything that I have.

A lot had happened and I have a lot in my mind as well. All I can do now is to ask Allah to easy everything for me and all parties involved. I keep reminding my self that better days are coming as Ramadhan is approaching and I am looking forward to that as well. May Allah grant us the opportunity to meet Ramadhan this year.

I am thankful for my health, my work, my spouse, my family, the breakfast I had today, the colleagues, the happiness and contentment i feel in my heart. Thank you Allah for making it easy for me
