1st Day of Puasa
Well...the 1st day of puasa is no biggy for me...cieeee! Why??? Lagi ada halangan boooowwww! Sux though...the chances of me being able to sholat Eid is small =( But insya Allah i'll b able to. Anyway, yesterday I had cooked ...what we call Gulai Masin...but it's only good with fish & vegies, telor dadar (not scrambled eggs)..hmm...apah yah...like egg fu yung hai lah...but ala Me..hehehe..and of course Teh Manis. Abisnya, ituh yg paling cepet...and u know when u get off from work..just trying to think of what to cook is pusing...apalagi buat buka pausa.
Hmm...for those of u back home...puasa here is so different! Gak ada u know...apah namanya...that "geduk2". Paling liat jam udah waktu magrib lom yah??? Or for those who have computers @ home...yg masang azan buat sholat. And of course day light savings. Since it's still summer here...we don't eat till 7.30. Good thing it's later in the summer not earlier in the summer. If it's earlier in the summer...bisa2 buka puasanya jam 9pm or 9.30pm. Can you imagine...and imsak a lot earlier! Going through that makes you understand what it feels like for those homeless on the streets are going through...or beggers. It makes u appreciate what you have. Even as little food u have on the table.
Disini jg ada tarawehan bersama...anyone and everyone is welcome to come..once or twice a week on the weekends of course...it will rotate to whomever is open for their house to be used...Everyone would bring food....tarolah potluck...then followed by ceramah. Our firt tarawehan bersama is this Saturday @ Wisma. That's one other thing that's different here. I don't know how it is back home. Maybe they do that too. If I had a big house I'd love to do that too!
Actually, years back...i had done buka bersama @ our place...the turn out was good...of course it wasn't potluck...I invited our close friends...hopefully one day...bisa gituh lagi...
So..back to puasa...i'm definately looking for forward to next week! I can start my fasting!

Looking forward...but, yet not....
I can't believe a year has passed since we last came upon Ramadhan. I am looking forward to it this year. It's been 2 years that I haven't participated in fasting due to the 2 pregnancy I had back to back. I owe so much this year...with that thought in mind....i'm going to try my best to start praying 5x a day...I'm not going to lie...I haven't been doing that in quite some time...n not only that...become a better moslem...and a better person in & out..
Hopefully at the end of Ramadhan...i will be rejuvinated and able to start anew... looking forward to more good things in life, love, and prosperity...insya Allah...
What I'm not looking forward to, is...at the end of this month...my best of bestes (if there is such a word) friend is leaving. I hate having to part from someone I love and care for so much. I've experienced it before...it wasn't a nice feeling. Especially knowing and having the thought in mind "when will i be able to see this great person again??" Guess, just try to make the best...of the situation...right???
Sometimes I ask myself or to Allah..."why was I linked to this person...have such great times together...good bad...but at the end have them part from me??" I guess, that's what make us appreciate life, friendship, and love more....
Am I making any sense??!!!! Anyway, anywho...anyhow...
So...my mood and feeling right now..is all mixed...there is something i am looking forward too...but, yet not... =/

Anjeli 19mths Parisha 6mths & a goodbye....
I'm terribly sorry that I haven't kept my blog up to date...but here's the rundown of what's been going on with mi familia....
Anjeli...she's a character now...she knows how to push our buttons then when she sees us get mad...she knows how to make us gak jadi marah with her...anjeli also understands both languages and also speak in both languages (indo & english). She says many words already...but still banyak..yah! yah! Um! um! Baby languange gitu lhooo....heheheh..When she's cranky, she just points to anything...and we show it to her...she keeps on saying no! no! no! jadi suka bingung what she wants...jatohnya yah...kasih susu langsung..hehehehe...bobo deh =P
Parisha...dah bisa be on her hands & knees but lom crawl, but she's scooting...she wants to play with everything that anjeli's playing...of course I had started her on solid foods already. Parisha's character is so different that Anjeli...she's more sensitive...a bit tempermental. And agak keras yaaaahh....example, when she's playing with something and you take it away from her and give her something else...she would scream!
But both of them, enjoy playing with each other...Anjeli lebih banyak ngalahnya seeeehh....and she cares for her sister very much...she loves feeding her sister her milk. Sometimes it's funny...it's like it's in her own terms..meaning, she would say "dah" (done)...but Parisha masih mo minum...but funny thing is Parisha never gets upset.
Last week, we had gone to LA...brought the whole family there. Spent the night at Barlina's house. (Thank you bar for your awesome hospitality) On Saturday we went to Disneyland. I was excited cuz I wanted to know Anjeli's reaction when riding the rides. So her 1st ride was the Dumbo ride. When we had gone on it...she was in between scared but yet excited. So, when dumbo went up, she got scared yah meringis2 gituh....when dumbo went down...she was laughing...lucu ajah ngeliat dia kayak gituh.
We stayed there till Sunday night. Jeffry had to work the next day...so I had drove home...so Jeffry could sleep in the car.
Anyway, today, my inlaws, and sister inlaw are leaving for Jakarta. It's gonna be sad to see them leave. I was gettin used to them here...6 months went by so fast! The past week...my mother inlaw suka nangis...wajar lah...namanya jg grandma. Parisha is very attached to her...and I think that's what's making her more berat to leave.
After they leave, the adjustment with Parisha is gonna be really hard..i'm not to worried about Anjeli..And tomorrow, it will be Jeffry's 1st day taking care 2 babies alone!I will be working....But we'll just have to see how it goes.

Out of the ordinary...
I was just reading my friend's blog..and came upon this test...so i took it...and this is what is says about me...
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
