iftar ntums

the iftar session was a rather enjoyable one. we had a pre-break-fast lecture by a rather entertaining fella, ustaz zulkifli if i am not wrong. but so many of the things he brought up were like hitting home, REAL GOOD. so there i was deflecting all the arrows (of course futilely) until he said this," some people fast because they are fat." that was it. no more defence. wakkakaka.

then we broke fast with mentos, courtesy of zul. pahala dah tu. this is because our indon brothers were really numerous, and they were taking the kurma. so in order not to hold up the line, we had mentos. i had strawberry in particular.

then we prayed maghrib. and proceeded into the adjoining room for our proper meal.

briyani with mutton (or was it beef?), sambal leher ayam, acar and kimah and more kimah (stashed from the other group's dulang) all served in a nice dulang. been quite a while since i had such a meal. and there we were making jokes and all that over the meal, rezqi from Him. and our jokes had the typical, unbridled freedom of male talk and male understanding (hint hint). it was so farnie, i lost control and laughed like the maddie that i am. rabaks.

damn it.

and that mood maintained throughout the night, even at the bus-stop depan orang-orang semua, and dalam bas. while yes, the terawih was a short break (which i must say, the qiraah was superb) i think my lack of restraint was evident tonight. and i am not happy.

although i am glad that i met my dearest friends, i am almost regretting going for the fact that there were many things i would have rather not done there. but t said that it was a trial, and rightfully, i needed to go through it. ok lah.

if you say so.

but i had a wonderful time, if you discount the transgressions.

good job dearhearts.
