LOCKDOWN RAMADHAN
Can you believe that today is already the last day of Ramadhan?! 30 days passed by in just few blinks of eyes.
Ramadhan this year have been so meaningful and exciting to me. Earlier this year, I wondered how am I gonna sahur and iftar alone in university without my parents cause I've never do so. Fortunately, because of the MCO, I got to spend my Ramadhan with my family again. In fact, with the whole big fam at my kampung. This is my first time ever fasting the whole month at kampung and it was a once in a blue moon experience. I thought that this raya is gonna be as fun as last years because everyone were here but my aunties and uncles had to go back to their home because of work. My plan to bake kuih raya and cook delicious meals for raya together with the aunties all went down the drain :(
On the first day of Ramadhan, I made ondeh-ondeh with Tok Ma, and Umi. It appeared very nice...until it was tasting time. They're uncooked! The texture was quite hard and the palm sugar inside did not even melt 😅. Despite the unsuccessful ondeh-ondeh, it's still a nice experience.
I celebrated my 20th birthday during Ramadhan this year at kampung. I got two birthday cakes; one from Mama and the other from Papa. I didn't get to celebrate outside because of the MCO but it's always fun when your family members are around, right?
One of my goal this Ramadhan was to puasa penuh this Ramadhan but it was ruined because of this 'cuti perempuan' haha. I'm really looking forward to fast the whole month without any break at least once in my life...of course before I reach menopause. It would be a blessing if I got to do so. No need to ganti puasa later hehe. Also, I didn't manage to khatam Al-Quran but I did recite it more and often than I usually do so Alhamdulillah for that.
However, not all is fun. I received a news regarding one of my family member's health. The hospital test result came out on May 13 but the 'person' decided not to tell me because tomorrow was my birthday and the 'person' didn't want me to be sad. The 'person' told me few days after that and said it was a birthday gift from Allah. I couldn't bear the thought that someone I love and cherish so much, is suffering from an illness that I've never thought would happen to my family. All sorts of thoughts came into my mind and whenever it happens, I always find myself crying. I wish I could share in detail but for the time being, that's it. While on that, I humbly ask for your prayers. Thank you 💖.
Hari Raya will be in few hours. I would like to take this opportunity to seek for forgiveness for my wrongdoings whether it's intentionally or unintentionally. Even though this year's raya is gonna be different because of the MCO and we couldn't attend to any open houses (read: can't collect duit raya huaaa), let's use this chance to spend and cherish as much time as possible with our family. Enjoy your raya and have fun with your loved ones.
SELAMAT HARI RAYAAAA 🎇.
Love,
Aida.
