Ramadhan

guess what!! starting today it's Ramadhan!! for those of you who do not know:

"Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, believed to be the month in which the Qur'an began to be revealed. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which Muslims don't eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset. Fasting is meant to teach the person patience and humility. Ramadhan is a time to fast for the sake of God, to offer even more prayer than normal and ask forgiveness for the sins of your past and ask for guidance in the future. To refrain from every day evils and try to purify oneself through self-restraint and good deeds."

(i do know what it is, i was just lazy to write a whole essay about it =P)

Anyway, i know throughout the year i do alot of things i'm not suppossed to do as a Muslim, but well.. i guess i have a really different view on religion, but i wont go into that. that usually ends up in hours of talking, and i do wanna sleep soon! =P anyway, i do respect Ramadhan, and it's the one month i will at least try to be a good Muslim. (wow... i sound soo holy now! hahaha)

anyway, here's just a few things that i won't be doing during Ramadhan:

• Eating -i'm only allowed to eat after the sun has set each day.. i've been trying to eat less the past week just so my stomach would get used to not getting that much food
• Drinking - no water during the daytime either.. u should see the huge bottle of water that i have next to my bed that i'm gonna drink every night just so i won't dry up
• And some things that i usually do throughout the year, i'm gonna stop just for this one month:

1. No swearing - no fuck, no shit, no damn, no..... ok.. i'm gonna stop now, it is technically ramadhan so no more swearing!!
   
2. No alcohol - i will stay sober this month! probably wont be too hard to do while i'm here, but i will be struggling when i go back to Aberdeen!!
3. No porn - shiiiit...............
   

well.. that's all i can think of for now i guess. probably will try to be alot nicer to everyone around me too.

but something i really am looking forward to.. the food!!! =D everynight can just go to nearest market and buy foooooooooooooooood!!!! loads and loads of food.. probably will have to control myself just so i dont get sick after..

on another note, some friends will be coming down to KL this coming week for a few days.. that should be fun! =)

To all the muslims (if any of my readers are muslim), happy fasting!! =)
