Today i spoilt everything...

i woke up at 3.30am but i continue my sleeps....argghh...i should have just take my wudhu' or something. Then i woke up late for sahr at 5am, Alhamdulillah my aunt is here so she helps my mother and everything has been prepared and i just wake up and eat...lol. But i felt guilty even to eat.

After that, i was waiting for my turn to use the bathroom, next i realise i was sleeping.......arrrgghhhh woke up at 6.45am. i even missed my solat duha...totally a misreable morning.

Hopefully i can make up for this morning by reading quran every free minute i have....inshaAllah

20th September 2007, 1:03 PM - Kulim, Malaysia

I just finished my drafting works (which I started doing it at 8:30 AM), one of those drafting works, I drafted a Notice of Demand to a tour company for cheating 35 people on their Umra.

The company advertised that their Umra package includes Mecca, Medina and Jordan. But when these 35 people were there, the company refused to bring them to Medina with no reasonable excuses... Imagine going to the holy lands but being denied going to Medina (even you have paid for it).... and most of those tourists are 70 year old plus.... they might lost their only chance of visiting Medina.

It's cloudy here and the weather is not so hot... Alhamdulillah.

Sept 20th

Still on left overs from the sunday break fast.. I had a miserable day today and just wasn't hungry when maghrib came but had to pretend hunger so my mom wouldn't ask me of my day.. was looking forward to the salat from Makka to console me since I find the sheikh's voice soothing and I needed it... but alas seems like I jinxed the poor fellow? he hasn't been on today or yesterday.. some novice sheikh was reciting in his stead and it just didn't have an impact on me... my parents hate it when I say that for some reason? like I am supposed to love every reciter..I thought just as well.. I'd hate to waste a Ramadan day.. maybe things will look better in the morning? insha'Allah

MaiCarInMtl · **Re: Ramadan Diary -** 09-20-2007

Day 8 is going well for me. I slept in this morning though, but I still got up at 4:30 to have breakfast. I did not get up for breakfast yesterday, and I didn't notice much of a difference (but then again, I didn't do much travelling, just went to work, came home and later went back out to get my supper: a turkey sandwich - yummy!).

I made my henna appointment for the 11th (just before Eid), and the lady who does it invited me to join her family (her, her husband, and their 5 kids) for Iftar. I was very (pleasantly) surprised! I'll bring some lebanese baklawa as a hostess gift. :-) Can't show up empty handed!

today , the fast was slightly difficult. i was helping register students on the islamic society.. alhamdullilah it went well.. but at times difficult.. esp when ur fasting .. the lack food and water affects energy levels and therefore to ask/talk to people to join can become a challenge. i reali hope ramadhan becomes easier inshallah.. its been a week, let me say its been challenging but in the end inshallah it will be worth it. hope ur all finding it easy inshallah

Medina83 · **Re: Ramadan Diary -** 09-24-2007

This thread is gone a bit quiet ..everyone still fasting i hope?!?!

well my days have been great elhamdulillah , all the worries and nervousness i had about Ramadan have dissolved into a peaceful tranquility elhamdulillah..the mesjid is packed everynight and the spirit of unity and prayer is amazing subhanAllah. Prayer is a gift i often take for granted estaghfirullah.

I wish tarawih was all year round i love being there for it. The only thing makes me sad is because i cant understand arabic, i wish i understood what the sheikh is reciting it would make it even better. Sometimes my mind wanders cos i cant understand and focus. hmmm the only thing to do is learn Quran more and more inshaAllah so inshaAllah i get reward for learning and reward for praying

elhamdulillah Allah subhana wa tala is Al Karim subhanAllah.

My fasting going very well elhamdulillah , no problems with hunger or thirst just the odd longing for something. Reading Quran in english mostly (i know is not the same) but when you want to read more and more then reading in arabic is quite slow progress and you have to read in both languages anyway.

Problems: my tongue...getting into conversations i shouldnt from time to time and there's a few others, but I hope for forgiveness inshaAllah theres no better time to ask than in Ramadan and i have lot of hope in the Rahma of Allah swt.

I hope all you guys' Ramadan is going as happily as mine

love you all fisabilillah

I just noticed I did not post here yesterday. Yesterday was quite busy for me and I got a bit side tracked and forgot I had not posted.

Today was also quite busy. I got to Fix the meal to Break Fast. I'll post pitures of it on the food thread. Actually it was not all my cooking. The neighbors sent over some of it.

Sept 23rd... 10:28PM

had an upper respiratory tract infection of unknown origin X three days, and last night was very difficult to get through, one nostril breathing and I was annoying myself with the noise I was making all night.. I took several Ricola Honey Berry throat drops to get through (highly recommended) although they do ware off the minute they are completely dissolved-- I wonder if they are made so intentionally so you are to be addicted? but anyhow ... I have not been waking up for sihoor.. and have not been very excited about break fast either...past few days felt like canicular days.. sheikh Mecca is still out which is truly a disappointment, I almost want to go ask his where abouts just to make sure he is alive and well insha'Allah...
I had such ambitions for this Ramadan... Alas like my dreams of world domination before the age of 25 they too were ceased before I could realize them...=(

September 23

Well I just prayed Esha and am about to head to bed, as unfortuntely school is tomorrow. There are so many thoughts in my head, I can't concentrate on anything I'm doing. I have loads of work from school, plus I have to finish all my college stuff, and I didn't even begin my college essay, and I'm trying to read the Quran everyday. I missed one day because I was so tired after finishing my homework. I feel terrible.

Inshallah Allah will help me.

I can't believe it's been a little more than a week of Ramadan already. It's going by too fast, and who knows if we'll be here for the next one. During iftar today, I felt especially grateful for all the food on the table. I felt truly blessed to be a Muslim and am happy that I was born into this beautiful religion. I am so grateful, it just fills my heart. I can't even put it into words.

Off to bed now.
