Giving It A Miss

The Muslim fasting month starts tomorrow and normally I'd be pretty excited about it. There would be loads of buka puasa (breaking of fast) food in the Ramadhan bazaar just a stones throw away from my house, not to mention my office too.

I'd always head over there with wifey after work joining the huge crowds of people lining up to buy the many food stuff on sale. The air would be wafting with the smells of ayam perchik, murtabak, roti john, grilled fish and lots of other yummy food.

We would normally end up buying tons of food and stuffing ourselves silly. it would be the same scenario for us every year. This year though, I don't think I have the time to even go there as much as I'd love to. I'm pretty tied up with work and just finding the time to get home before the bazaar closes is going to be a huge challenge.

I know we're going to miss a heck of a lot of yummy Ramadhan food but there really is no rest for us slave types ... LOL! Maybe to keep my mind of the yummy offerings I'll just go looking for some spa cover's or something. But with that said and done, I'd like to wish all my Muslim buddies a very blessed Ramadhan. May you all enjoy all the delicious Ramadhan goodies on offer and do send some food my way ... hehehe!

Errrrr ... the fasting month starts tomorrow doesn't it?

  7. Zen - You're absolutely right about the fasting ... but all Muslims here break fast later in the day and there are loads of Ramadhan bazaars selling food stuff for the break of fast. Almost everyone, Muslims or not always patronize this bazaars :D
