Countdown to Ramadhan

First day fasting

We had the predawn meal at 5am.  Hubby, as usual, ate his favourite Kjeldsens Danish butter cookies. Our children ate toasted garlic bread which I made.  As for me, I had dried dates.

For the first time this year, I went marketing at Kajang market.  I bought fresh beef and mutton, kampung chicken, battery chicken, and vegetables.

Then, just before 1pm, I received a call from Fitness Concept informing me they are delivering the treadmill (BH RT AERO TREADMILL (MP3 Compatible) I ordered from Fitness Concept at Alamanda.

Thus, besides being the first day of Ramadhan, it is also my son-in-law's birthday and the arrival of my brand new treadmill, Alhamdullilah.

I will try out the treadmill after terawih prayers.  I did terawih prayers at home, whilst hubby and our children went to Uniten mosque for their Terawih, Alhamdullilah.

Marhaban Ramadhan

Alhamdullilah, tomorrow is the first day of Ramadhan. Tomorrow is also my son-in-law's 33rd birthday.

Hubby and our children, excluding kak long n Wahiduzzaman, went to Uniten mosque for terawih prayers.  As for me, I did my terawih at home.  Tonight I began reading the Holy Quran from Juzud 1 which i finished reading after solat eshaq n terawih, Alhamdullilah.

Then I phoned kak long, who lives in Damansara, and Wahiduzzaman who lives in Ipoh, to recite the verse for fasting the whole of Ramadhan. My other children recited the verse with me at home, Alhamdullilah.

I also need to set the alarm for 'sahur' (meal before dawn) tomorrow.  Usually I will wake up at 3.30am to do qiamullail. Then, by 4.30am, I will prepare the pre dawn meal, In shaa Allah.
