[closed] If I was fasting......

[WitchKing]

My day would begin with me waking up and moving like a sloth downstairs for sahur. As is now a NAzlan family tradition, It would be a burger, kurma, barrels upon barrels of water, at least one Milo. Noor would have waken up an hour b4 me to prep all that.

Oh yeah, before biting into that burger that would be sustaining me for the rest of the day, I would be looking at it contemplating........contemplating how amazing it is that I am awake at this ungodly hour to munch on a beef patty sandwiched between two loaves of bread with sprinkled sesame seeds and guzzling upon at least 5 glasses of water to psyche me up to the belief that 'I have consumed enuff water for today', when I know very well that soon as I wake up again about 3.5 glasses would have been re donated to Indah Water.....

To be continued, with the chronicles of this year's Ramadan from the perspectice of the Witchking and mebbe Hisham and Sila reporting from ....err, over there.

[LiLiaN]

The best kuihs and malay specialities dishes normally show themselves during the fasting months, ayam percik, laksam......somethingwithnamesidontknowwhatziscall ed....so i agree with shirlene most likely the weight dun go down but up, coupled with all the nasi himpit and kuih muihs and lemangs that will be consumed during the first two days of hari Raya will essentially make up more than 4 times the weight you'd lost during the past 30 odd days!!! :laugh:

[WitchKing]

is it a drum stick?

Yup both were drums. I just noticed belt hole just went down a notch. Probably nothin....but itsa good first sign....

The real test however hasnt begun....I will only be buying from the Ramadan stalls today(yesterday we ate whatever we had at home coz Noor didnt want to miss the final episode of the Indonesian drama Hikmah).

Soo, depending on what I finally BUY for buka puasa....we'll see if the weight can still maintain at 81...>!

[Sila]

sahur pagi tadi, gua makan char kuey tiau! woohoooo! yesterday tak sahur because i woke up 13 minutes after imsak... :crying:

[athena]

sila, i'm just curious...over there now should be starting to be fall/winter....so the days are shorter.....so you puasa less and less hours, as the season changes to winter? betul ah? :)

[WitchKing]

Catch..i mean Weight of the Day : 81kg (still)

Reason: Yesterday bukak puasa giler! kuayteow, mee and meehoon goreng, ayam, air tebu 5 gelas, fren came over for pot luck, melantak asam laksa pulak, fish balls......!! so you ask, how come still 81kgs???

.....this morning overslept, overshot imsak...so me and Noor tak bersahurrrrrrrr..hence weight still like this. :amused:

[WitchKing]

[Sila]

How do you determine puasa time, from what time to what time
basically from imsak to maghrib. sun up to sundown. but really, imsak is before subuh prayer starts, so it's not true sun up. it's all depending on the sun. so depending on where you are, that's what determines the buka puasa time. sundown coincides with the beginning of maghrib prayers.

Well, actually the significance of Ramadan is much more than that for Moslems worldwide. For Example...according to Moslem belief:

a. The first verse of the Quran, came down from the angel
Gabriel in this month, to the prophet Mohammad at the
age of 40, ascending him to prophethood, hence the
Nuzul Quran day today

b. The month of Ramadan was when the commandment
from God to perform the daily prayers was received by
Mohammad, after having initially been commanded to
perform 50, it was finally reduced to 5 a day

c. That one day in this month, God will command angels
by the thousands, to prepare the fates of everyone and
everything for the next year. You might know this as
Lailatul Qadar (Night of the Fates). THis night is
anxiously anticipated by Moslems, since supplications
and religious rites performed on this night is better
than those performed in a thousand other months.

d. That all the Gates of Hell are closed, and all the Gates
of Heaven are opened at their widest, and the current
denizens of Heaven can see those on Earth who shall
join them there at the end of time.

e. That Satan and his minions are bound and chained for
the duration of the fasting month.

[Lava Gal]

tanx naz...now onli i know the significance of nuzul quran :)

There is nothing is scriptures that says we cant. But as an example for me last time in Johore, I didnt join my kids pool swim onli coz I was too tired out to do so.

[Lava Gal]

just wondering coz when u swim, might tertelan the water...

[WitchKing]

just wondering coz when u swim, might tertelan the water...

thats exactly it, you 'ter'telan, not 'me'nelan. fasting does not mean you have to do things that you normally do differently.

My department broke fast with our GMD this evening at the PJ Hilton. The number of tables they had there was positively MENTAL i tell you! The spread choices cant be beat though.

It was a good experience to get to know him just a little bit better knowing he is also a man whos comfortable laughing at himself once in a while. Went home, to weigh the damage, looks like it went up to just 76kg after the 5 plate gorging session, which is good coz it mean the normal weight is supposed to be lower than that,......gee, reminds me of the Stephen King movie 'Thinner'....yeesh!,,gives me the willies.

[Fulat]

if just eat & sleep
one month that person can increase his weight by 5-10kg

jcwong a good example!

[Fulat]

thats exactly it, you 'ter'telan, not 'me'nelan. fasting does not mean you have to do things that you normally do differently.

how about 'ter'makan? :unsure:

[Sila]

how about 'ter'makan? :unsure:
how to "ter"makan? ooops, i fell in the plate of mi goreng, issit?? don't think it works like that!! :D

but actually though, you are allowed to taste the food (just a teeeny weeeeny bit on the end of your tongue) when cooking the buka puasa for the family. it's not really encouraged, but then buka puasa with crap food isn't realy encouraged either :D

[WitchKing]

how about 'ter'makan? :unsure:


i actually did that once, when i was very very young and just started fasting. terlupa langsung I sedang puasa and started eating. Goes to show eating is sometime NOT a conscious process! :p

oooh good point. if i do puasa sunat, sometimes i forget. but then if really ter-makan, then your puasa is technically not batal because it was not done intentionally. however if it happens to me, usually i discount the puasa and start over on another day. guilty lah... :o

[LiLiaN]

i'm doing a charity fast this coming november... :)
only 24 hours, so it's not bad... had done it for a few years now... just once a year...

[Sila]

24 hours no makan? can drink or no drink either?

[James Nga]

To All My Muslimin and Muslimat Friends and Forummers esp. Naza, Awie, 'isham and Sila,

Selamat Berpuasa (untuk berberapa hari lagi sa-ha-jaaa....)

&

Selamat Hari Raya

Maaf Zahir Batin.

[LiLiaN]

24 hours no makan? can drink or no drink either?no food, no drink.. :)

[James Nga]

no food, no drink.. :)

Sure or not??? Waah!!! U can become a Shaolin kid la Lillian...

[LiLiaN]

only for 24 hours, it's not that bad really...
think of the people who have very little ALL THE TIME...

[Sila]

lil - that is definitely one of the things we are to remember during this fasting month. we do it only one month out of the year, but many people in the world have to puasa every day out of need and lack rather than for religious reasons...

and thanks, 007! selamat hari raya to you too...

[LiLiaN]

that's right... well, i know there's really no hard rules about this here...
afterall, it's a charity event, so i do know people who do drink if not eating...
for me, i just made it a habit not to eat nor drink, since it's only for 24 hours...
i usually fast after dinner till dinner time the next day...

[Sila]

good for you, lil. better hydrate yourself well at your dinner before the fast! the food part, not a problem. but the not drinking for 24 hours is hard on the system.

[LiLiaN]

thanks for the advice... have been doing this for several years, so far no probs... :)

[Sila]

:D

so as you say, since it's for charity, while you fast does someone or an organization donate some money/services?

[LiLiaN]

basically i'll try to get sponsorship from people... and in return for their donation, i fast lor...
am thinking if i should set up some sort of online stuffs on the blog...
can maybe help to raise a bit more money, may not be too much but still, every penny counts...

[Sila]

cool beans. tabik your commitment to helping others, lil!

[LiLiaN]

i'm only doing very very small part...

[Sila]

every part counts, love! :D

Theres fewer and fewer days left in the fasting month. Soon the Pasar Ramadan vendors will be getting less and less as more and more of them leave for balik kampong. No different for our family, we will then have to get creative with the juadah berbuka since the food choices will shrink the closer it gets to Hari Raya. More often than not, this involves either kuih lipat McDonald, Murtabak BurgerKing, ....or the everlasting favourite...........ayam percik Kentucky. :squeeze:

....it was the rendang kerang that Ina brought, it got into my brain and turned it to temporary mush....memang power punyer,its not easy to make rendang out of kerangs, so when its done right, needless to say there wasnt any leftovers to bring back home....she so rightly was beaming from ear to ear with compliments received for such a magnifique dish!

You must have really enjoyed her "rendang kerang" very much.

kuih baulu is actually hisham's domain. he loves that stuff! but it should be ok in tupperware? tak tau lah - why it would come out soggy like that. btw, lilian share-share lah recipe.

maybe you can store it in a paper bag - although i'm thinking of winter weather here where it is so extremely dry in the air usually...

[LiLiaN]

well, it's humid here at the mo... cold and humid, brrrrrr... not nice...
maybe i didn't cool every single one properly, so close tupperware, kuih gone soggy...

i'm writing an entry for blog at some stage for that this weekend....
going to experiment once more to make sure it works properly next time round...
then only share... don't want to give out bad recipe mah.. ;)
