…depends how you intonate (does such a word exist?) it i guess, but i meant it in a neutral way. of course.

So pejam celik pejam celik [blink blink] and it’s already nearing the holy month of  ramadhan again. hooray! a veriable goldmine of hasanat is fast approaching us, don’t you feel excited? anxious? x sabar2? good.

just today  i heard a really good khutbah by sh.rafat about “why the heck do we fast??” but he worded it much nicer than i did. and the answer is of course:

“_____ ______ …” (Al-Baqarah 2:183)

thinking back on it, how often do we stop to reflect on what we do all of this ibadah for? remember when you were young? when your parents would teach you how to pray, how to fast, how to read the qur’an… i’m pretty sure that they told you “if you do this, Allah will love you..” and you did your best to gain that love.

right?

but how many of us still strive to attain that goal today? hmm.. tepuk dada tanya iman… as for me, i have a lot to work on during this ramadhan. but before then, while waiting, counting on the days, there’s a lot of preparation to be done.

in these last days of sha’ban, let’s get ready by:

- increasing solat nawafil
- increasing reading the qur’an
- readjust your biological clock - sleep early, wake up early! for tahajjud (and sahur later on)
- voluntary fasting (if you haven’t already done so)

and if like me you have a whole load of jobs and errands to be done, settle all those pesky little problems that you could actually finish now but keep procrastinating, from distracting you later, now.

hmm.. like
- manufacturing task 2 (75% done)
- manufacturing field trip report (1% baru nak start)
- statistics assignment (25% done)
- dynamics project (read the handout at least!)
- auis newsletter (err…)
- personal letter(s) (oh no…)

k, gtg!
