of ramadhan and food

It's here again! Often times when Ramadhan comes, what would be in the mind would be what to have for iftar, which pasar ramadhan to check out, any invitation for today and so on. Yes, it is basically about food. Luckily for me the question of which hotel to go for iftar is not that important here where I'm leaving now, as this seems not to be a craze over here although I do see a few banners advertising ramadhan buffets at certain hotels.

Is it the age or is it the environment? I'm not sure. It's the 7th day of Ramadhan and I still have no desire to visit any pasar Ramadhan although I drive through a number of them everyday on my way back from work. I would only have a piece of tamar and then rice or whatever for iftar. So far that has been my only solid meal for the day. The sahur which I've missed once would consist of a mug of milk/milo and sometimes a few pieces of cream crackers. (Liar!) Yeah OK I had once small piece of lasagna this morning - leftover from the weekend. Not complaining. Just that it's a change from the usual. I hope it's for good as my target for this year's Ramadhan, apart from becoming a better muslimah, is to lose some weight. Nothing to do with looking nice but my knees are hurting now due to my weight. Besides this would be the time to cleanse my body from the accessive fat.

Another 20+ days to go before Eid. Happy Ramadhan!
