into the 2nd day ..

Todays fasting was exhausting and i was in pain .. i think its that time of month - im achy breaky wahh wahh wahh ... The weather was insanely warm and i think the kids at school felt it asking for water for every like half hour.. Usually fasting especially when the weathers humid is not about hunger but more about thirst and its hard to keep your mouth wet when you have to talk all day .... so yeah i reckon its going to be a long long week if the weather continues the way it does but its fine - part and parcel of the whole trial and tribulations that comes with fasting .......

When i got back mom was there woo hoo! She brought some stuff back from grandma's my favorite wheart porridge with spices and meat its soooo yummy - top it off with scaliions, fried onions and a squeeze of lemon or lime you are in porridge heaven .. then there was her famous fried noodles spicy and ever so yummy in it there was bean sprouts, sliced beef, prawns, some sawi (no idea what the english name is - i think its mustard leaves) and eggs with chillie onions and diced tomatoes .. its so dammmmmmm sedap - my mouths watering as im writing this hahaha ..... and we cant forget them samosas (which i made :P , my own recipe and yes i am soo of proud it haha. ...)..

Samosas, wheat porrridge and fried noodles has been the food choice for breaking of fast on the first day as far as i can remember. That has been traditionally the food weve had for the first day of ramadhan since i was a kid .. and when it comes to things like that i hate to break tradition - change is fine but when it comes to little things like that it just kills it for me hehe .. to me it just isnt the same .. This usually goes for special family gatherings i guess .. but anyways .. i lost yesterday it was made up for today - so im happy :)..
