Lets talk about.. Fasting.

WOO!
Playing soccer in this time of the year is a NIGHTMARE.
And im not referring to the weather. The continuously increasing hot weather does not have much effect since im 'used' to it. (such a liar i am...)
Buut....

Eating, drinking, smoking, sex, etc.
That right, we Muslims, excluding the young and the sick, have to refrain ourselves from such simple necessities in our lives during daylight hours. And i guess our 'normal' lives can continue in the dark..
In other words, physical activies (soccer!) is probably not a good idea if one is not capable of 'tahan' the after effects of such activities.

Also, i guess fasting also emphasises the need of patience. Recent weeks has taught me alot about that. The frustration of the promotional exams, my dad involving in an accident, the boredom of the newly arraged class, and those who has been annoying as hell. Yet, come to think of it, I can't belived i actually went through all that day in day out and still somehow managed to control myself.
But did I.? I not quite sure myself actually. Tell you the truth, i did snapped a few times. But not to an extend that it goes out of hand. But i try to walk away or stay away from such 'disturbances', which in turn may result in several mood swings. Haha. I'm not fully myself lately. I become either too quiet, too hyper, or just too distant. And yes i get tired easily too which greatly effect my mood.
It also does not help to see people contradicting themselves especially when they supposed to be......... And my friends who seemed to easily shoot out words which i dont want to hear, worse, it being directed at me. But its okay i guess. It is after all, a free world.


"Those who know Islam understand that fasting empowers and does not weaken the Muslim."
I guess fasting brings about a form of realisation to things that you have gone through. It makes you realised the things that have been taken for granted. To cannot have what we can get. To find potential for change. And to consolidate oneself. Such thing can only be achived when one takes it seriously. To find the true purpose and meaning of fasting is the only way to have a meaningful Syawal. For me, im still here and there, but im doing my best...




I'm done! yay.. Fasting's great.. I lost 4kilos..
Alright im going to experiance the kampong style of fasting this weekend.
Hope all goes well..
