1st October 2007, 12:58 PM - Kulim, Malaysia.

It's raining heavily here... I hope it's not raining tonight! After fajr prayer, the temprature is soooooo cold and windy .. I just wish that I could just sleep more... but hey, I have to drive 50 km north to a town call Sungai Petani...

Just came back to the office...

Ten days before Eid, is the busiest time ever all over Malaysia..

All malls, shops and stalls are crowded with people shopping for Eid. Eid songs are everywhere... the roads are jammed with shoppers.

Tonight, it would be the 20th night of Ramadan right? So the houses and streets would be decorated with lights welcoming the angels to the earth as Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power) might be in any night of the final 10 days of Ramadan.

The kids (and some adults) would play the sparklers and firecrackers all night long - yeah... it sounds like a warzone, the only difference is that you could hear kids laughing with joy.

I pray to God, may all of us be blessed with Lailatul Qadr. Amin Ya Rabb!
