Yup folks, I'm back - for how long? I can't really say. lol. You may have notice some subtle changes I've made towards the layout of my blog. Well actually no, I've made a dramatic change... hahaha... I've changed EVERYTHING on it. Solely based on reasons of boredom and plus, previously I was simply following crappy advices and feedbacks from only one person. I never realised how crappy and confusing the previous layout was. So now, i'm opting for simple. He he. Will it be better this time? I don't know, time can only tell.
So what have I been up to as of late?
Tons and tons of things. I think it's a pity though, that in the past two months, I've only blogged twice when so much has happened. Hopefully within these next few days/weeks/months, I may be able to show off what I've missed blogging. Hehehe... So start off...
Perhaps I'll just start with the first day of Fasting month: more specifically the opening of fast. For those not familiar with this fasting season. Every year in the Muslim calender, there is a holy month whereby muslims will not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. It is also important during this holy month for muslims to practice good behaviour or at least attempt to be morally good. I suppose you can see it as a character-building experience: you reflect upon yourself and discover a few things about yourself that you never really knew until then.
This was taken on the first night of ramadan. A few close friends had planned this dinner weeks ahead to celebrate the start of ramadan with good friend and good company. We had steamboat that night, or in some places, they call it hot pot. With a huge array of seafoods (shellfish, shrimps/prawn, fish cakes, veggies, mushrooms, etc) cooked in one of two soup broths: spicy tom yum or chicken. Dinner was finished off with another huge selection of desserts: banana-toffee crumble thingy (lol sorry i forgot the name), chocolate rice crispies, hot molten brownies and lots more... lol
We were spoilt for choices. Dinner didn't end until 2 in the morning as we each took our time to eat and enjoy the food. Dear god, that being said... it was safe to say none of us felt the hunger pangs the next day during our fast!!
