Day 29. Last Day. Last Day.

I still remember my days in the School of Supply and Transport, in times like these, the password would be "Last Day." The oh so lovely words to hear after a 14 day ops, the heart skips a beat everytime we utter those 2 words. But in the case of Ramadhan, the last day brings about a certain indescribable sadness, that marks the end of a month of generous blessings from the Almighty, and signals the start of Syawal.

I surpassed my initial objectives in Ramadhan and I gotta say, I'm proud of myself. I helped the people around me, I buka-ed at home most of the time, and generally, the month has been a feel-good month (although I lagged 3 tutorials because of insufficient rest). As a whole, I'm just glad I am indeed becoming a useful member of society who contributes. =) Because there is no point in living, if you do not play your role as a member of a team (i.e. the community).

There is a saying (heard this in a Tazkirah somewhere) that goes, "Those who are close to God, are those who are close to his community."
Alright, lets put all that nonsense one side. I am no perfect muslim. lol. Dang, I watched the Mat Motor Srikandi version, and that show really softened me up la~ A couple of biker chicks go on a mission to save Ramadhan and in this episode, they help to raise money for dialysis treatment! Cool or what. They even managed to rope in NTUC, Ribena and a brother (rock lah lu bro!) who owns a dendeng stall to help out. lol. They should ask Sheng Shiong to help out la like seriously. This year Sheng Shiong went all out to capture the Hari Raya market and boy did they do a good job marketing themselves! Remember not to judge a book by its cover and they totally upped their market value by going on the show. Biker chicks are gonna be so hot in Singapore after this. :P

What does Syawal mean to me? Oh well, Syawal basically means that I am very very close to my quizzes. Syawal means the floodgates of food are opened. And Syawal means visiting relatives and friends. Syawal also mean that my friends who magically become pious in the month of Ramadhan will stop their showboating and get back to their real selves.

Terawih terkejar-kejar, solat Wajib tak buat.

So yeah, in a few hours time, we'll be off visiting relatives. It has been great counting the days in Ramadhan with you guys, and I hope I get to see all my friends in their natural habitat pretty soon!

To all my lovely readers, (those who deserve special mention are: Daisy Sue, B3n34, ArcticGal, Salina, NutsNadz) who love me, hate me, adores me, despise me, miss me, sick of me...

I would like to wish you,

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!
