Alhamdulillah, Ramadan datang lagi...

Alhamdulillah, kami sekeluarga dapat menyambut Ramadan yg mulia sekali lagi...Azam tahun ini, insyallah nak tingkatkan ibadah dlm bulan Ramadan especially on my Quran reading...

Tahun ni, as bulan puasa is during the summer heat, our iftar( buka puasa) time will be about 6.20pm. (macam time buka puasa kat sarawak) Tapi syukur alhamdulillah coz the kids are still on their school holidays so tak lah they all rasa penat sangat. Hopefully this year Haekal can start fasting full day :-)

Fajr is about 4.10am, so we all akan bersahur dlm pukul 3.30am. Kalau ikut style last year, we usually stay up till sahur time and sleep after solat subuh. It is much easier that way coz tak penat nak gerak my kids bangun for sahur!

Menu buka puasa...hmm, masakan biasa biasa je lah. Maybe on my 'mood masak" day ada le kut some kuih! This is also a good opportunity for hubby and me to shed some kilos we gained masa kat msia last month. Not much confident tho, coz as far as I can remember, I never shed a kilo during fasting month! hu..hu...

This will be our third year berpuasa in Riyadh. Hopefully next year we all dapat experience berpuasa dan beraya di malaysia. Insyallah!

May Allah make this Ramadan a blessed one for all of us!

Back to life @ Riyadh

Finally Im back home! Yep, riyadh is like our home now coz in KL takde rumah! On the last day of our 5 weeks of super fantastic hols, I told my friends that surprisingly I am looking forward to the peace and quiet in Riyadh. My friend Yati said shows that I have fully satisfied myself tis holiday. Heh... heh....

Tho bila time nak check in kat KLIA via saudi airlines, we were jolted back to the reality of how cerewetnya org arab ni..kat check in counter tak nak beratur,gaduh tak nak bayar excess etc...sampai kat airport riyadh lagi la...most faces we saw are grim and no smiles! The customs just campak our passport dgn muka malas! Told Lan, this is our welcome gifts to life in the desert! hu..hu...

Anyway, Alhamdulilah the hols went well esp. our first family vacation to gold coast, Australia. We luv every second!!! In Msia, I managed to meet up with most of my friends, spend quality times with families and also had fantastic time being on my own.

Now that we are back in riyadh, for the first few days I felt that the days are quite long! Macam tak tau nak buat apa pulak!..and it is DAMN HOT here! The tap water is still very warm up till midnight. Just imagine that...

Domestic matters..hmm..I almost forgotten how housework never ends..slowly im picking up my pace ;-)
Just cleared unpacking stuffs from 6 big bags! For that, Im proud of myself coz usually I only cleared bags after one week!

Best of all, Im back online! Be it in the blog world or facebook! ...ironically I think Im communicating more with frens and family via cyber than when Im in KL....

Gonna post more soon, till then I have to sort out hundreds of pics first!
