First Day of Ramadhan
Work was okay. Nobody circulated any price list of Ramadhan Berbuka Promo of hotels / restaurants / eateries around KL. I am not in the habit of breakfasting outside except with really close friends, once at our favourite spot (Terminal Seafood). Hotels are a definite no-no. Waste of money and totally unacceptable especially in Ramadhan. Other than iftar at my relatives' homes, I usually eat at home.
My husband's company released the Muslim staff at 4.15pm, good arrangement, in time to fetch me at 4.30pm. We arrived home at 5.00pm. As expected traffic jam is a norm during early days of fasting month. After Asar prayers, hubby and Haakem went to Pasar Ramadhan to get some kuehs. My aunty has cooked asam pedas ikan merah with cabbage and prepared watermelon juice. We decided to iftar with just the kuehs and drinks and after Maghrib prayer, we'd have dinner.
So, at 6.30pm I laid the table. Haakem and hubby bought murtabak (Haakem's and my favourite iftar dish), kueh takung and kueh bakar. I made some hot tea, put 3 dates on each saucer and pour zamzam water in each glass. I had earlier put Millie to sleep so that we and Bibik can all eat together. Iftar was at 7.14 pm. After iftar, Bibik performed her Maghrib prayer and Millie was already up. The rest of us prayed Maghrib together and after that we had our dinner. The assam pedas and fried fish. After that Hubby ad haakem went to the nearby Mosque for isya' and tarawih prayers. I did mine at home and so did my aunt while Bibik looked after Millie. I went to bed at 11.30 pm. Alhamdulillah, the first day was really smooth. I have to travel to Lumut with my colleagues tomorrow.
