| ♥ Iftar With The Girls =) It's such a wonderful third day of Ramadhan. (well, for us it's only been the third, since we started fasting on Thursday). The girls have gathered at our house for Iftar this week - as this will be our weekend routine during this beautiful month, except that we'll rotate houses of course. XP This has been the case since a few years back and we're just continuing the Brissy Iftar tradition. :D (I don't know about the guys, but we girls surely have our OWN thing going on, heheh) The host of the Iftar (for this week, it's us, and another house, but we can't remember where) will have to provide the place and the main course for the day. We had to separate into two groups since there's about 60 of us girls in total. So 30 heads for each house, two houses per week. What we've decided for the main course was Nasi Ayam, and my housemate (fatin) wanted to add something else just in case the volume we end up with is insufficient, so we were planning to add some Pasta in. But it turned out that even the Nasi Ayam was more than sufficient. And we still have a whole pot of pasta sauce on our stove right at this moment. =_= I wonder how we're going to finish it before it turns bad LOL! Since there were about 30 people coming in, we had to borrow Walaa and Sakina's unit since their hall is more spacious than ours, so it'll be more comfortable during the jamaah prayers. People started arriving at 5.00pm since break-fast is at 5.30pm, but still there were a few more dishes that weren't quite ready. Luckily, the chef was 'ABC' so she joined us a bit later just to get the dishes done. It was a fun night. We break fast, do Maghrib jamaah, ate the wonderful Nasi Ayam buffet, started on Isya' jamaah before completing the night with tarawih and some tazkirah. What was more interesting was that Farhah invited one of her new friends who was an Australian convert. Oh, she was such a lovely lady. I think she might be over 40 y/o. She's very lovely and talks quite a lot too. She told us about the real Australian culture that we won't ever see with our own true eyes. My my, what we think is such a peaceful community isn't as peaceful and lovely as we thought. But I won't go into details on that. It's enough that I know where I'm at now (St Lucia) is very VERY safe for muslim foreigners. Everything ended about 8.30pm, but I went back at our own unit around 9pm because these people really love the 'bonding' session after gatherings. But I really can't stay because I know it might last until late at night, listening to them talking about their friends whom I don't even know, and especially when they started conversing in Arabic with each other, it's just best if I excuse myself. hehe It was really... a very lovely night, since the food was good, the people were nice and the event went smoothly. I'll be looking forward to our next Iftar gathering next Saturday! ^_^ but I forgot where~ LOL! p/s: sorry if the post was boring. I had no time to take pictures and I'm too tired to search for substitutes~ haha! Just try to enjoy my essay kay~ XD |
