Fasting for the 1st time in Ramadhan

It's Ramadhan, and what more to expect.. there's fasting.. there's Ramadhan bazaar with delicious food and drinks... and Raya is just around the corner.

Well basically it's not my first time fasting, when i was a Christian... i used to fast too... but not in a manner like the muslims do. For christians, we fast during Lent, that was when Jesus fasted for 40 days, and throughout his fasting Satan tried to tempt him with 3 things. The Christians could actually fast in many ways... but i'll just refer it to myself.. ok.

So yes, back to when i was a Christian... when i fast i normally take Breakfast, skip lunch, and than i'll have my dinner. But there are also times, when i couldn't manage to skip my lunch.. i decide to be a vegetarian...

What ever it is, i'm a muslim now... this is my first Ramadhan together with my hubby and my in-laws. It's been 3 days, and i'm surprised that i'm able to take Sahur so early in the morning. You see, i have this problem... i can't eat too early in the morning... it's similar to morning sickness.. but no... i'm not pregnant. Close friends and family of mine would know what i'm talking about.

Anyways, the first day of sahur.. i ate oats, coz i remembered when Kak Murni told me that it's best to have oats for Sahur... coz you won't feel to hungry during the day. Second day of Sahur... i ate Nestum and Bread deep in Fish Curry.... Today (which is the 3rd day)... i had Bread with Sardine and a bowl of Frosties Chocolate cereal with Milk.... yum.. yum...

Well there are times when the hunger comes... but i just have to ignore it and be patient and wait for time to break fast. Tonight, Mama is gonna cook Bawal Fish with sweet sour sauce, Sting Ray with Asam gravy and etc. And i'm gonna make dessert that i learned from Kak Lina (the sister-in-law)... which is basically a concoction of ideal milk, mix can fruit, nata de coco, jelly puddings (the ones they give out during kids birthday parties)... and sugar water. Mix it all up and add water and ice....

Can't wait to do that later... the hubby is bugging for me to do that... now that i'm free.. gonna borrow some cooking magz from the sister-in-law and try it out myself... hehe... till than...
