Puasa is here and today’s already day #5. So far my stats are looking ok (at least the important ones hahahahaa)
Puasa: 21 /24 <---- have to ganti lah nampaknya :)
Terawih: 4/24 <---- target 6 this year.
Berbuka with family 7/24
Sahur: 23/24
Productivity @ work: 2/10
Productivity after berbuka: 7/10
Sahur:
Sahur for me starts around 430am and end at 435am hahahaha yeah its quick lah. I stay on my own so I stick with cereal and susu. Its fast, good and simple. Its wham-bham-thanku-ma’am hahahahah.
Waking up:
Usually lapar already (maybe its all in my head) but getting ready is quicker coz no breakfast….but i sure do miss my morning coffee.
Working in the am:
Still ok as the sahur meal helps out in keeping me going but I get cold easily as..yelah theres no food to process so the body produces lil heat. Working here is still bearable as long I my headaches are in check.
Lunch:
What lunch? hahahahahah
Working in the pm:
This is when the headaches start (for various reasons) and yeah I’m feeling cold (usually wear my sweater lah…that I haven’t washed since my US yrs hahahahaha). Productivity drops to scary levels as I’m focusing more on “bila nak berbuka” than the work I have to do :)
Heading Home:
One word: JAM! Takes me twice as long to get home and the headaches don’t help…but I gotta stop by the pasar ramadhan (usually ampang jaya) to get..well usually chicken lah kot. By the time I reach home its about 650-7…so just nice ;)
Berbuka:
Buka puasa is always fun….its cute (yeah cute hahahah) that everyone gathers for berbuka, brings some food to the table and together wait and the azan. Then we feast and take our time (unlike on non-puasa days!). What do I have?
First: Kurma! (we stil got some nice big juicy one’s from our Umrah trip (damn….i lapar now)
Drinks: 1 hot and 1 cold
Food: As long as there’s some kind of grilled or fried chicken! :)
Desserts: more kurma hahahahahahah
At night:
I try to make it to terawih but definitely not everyday and if I do….its 8+3 only :) . Seronok actually as it makes Ramadhan more special. I usually check the pahala for terawih so see if have to go or not hahahahahha…I know its stupid but I know you people do it 2 ;)
If I don’t go to terawih…then I’ll be at home doing some work or something else….
All in all, I find it extremely difficult to work during puasa as I am so used to have something to drink (usually coffee) while I work and feeling hungry is a “lil” distracting. So yeah for me bulan puasa is not very productive in terms of work (and working out) but its good also lah….it gives me the opp to focus on other things like blogging hahahhaha..no no I mean seriously….its a special month that lets you focus on other areas of your life..like your connection to god and family & friends (whom you may not see 2 often otherwise).
Selamat Berpuasa to Everyone!

Kev
what? that sweater has never been washed since your US years? Gosh, I wonder what the smell is like.. It’s funny that you actually checked the pahala before going to terawih.. I did that last time. But all pahala counts to cover my sins.. :) Anyway, who’s with you in that pic..? Your babyboo?
Selamat Berbuka..
September 28th, 2006 at 6:05 am

I’m still contemplating to freeze my gym membership or not. it’s day 5, gym = 0/5. After berbuka, tido! :-) so sleepy & tired
anyway, selamat berpuasa !
September 28th, 2006 at 3:31 pm
Kevin,
Since you now have the time to blog more, why don’t you visit your readers’ blogs and leave a comment or two?
Just a suggestion………
Hahahah……
;)
September 29th, 2006 at 2:07 am
Selamat Berpuasa!
I don’t feel hungry at all, it’s strange tho coz i’m such a glutton. But I terribly missed my morning and after lunch coffee..huhuuuu.. Btw, u’re such a shweeet guy la …I can tell thru ur writing. I mean a great son, bro and bf to have,yes?
September 29th, 2006 at 5:22 am
Kev
I see.. thought it was your babyboo.. anyway, I don’t read mangga. But if my friend buys it.. I will take a look at it.. :)
Syaf
Agreed with your suggestion! :)

Being a Chinese convert for more than 12 yrs, I must say I am beginning to get a hang of “puasa-ing”. Like you..i only hope i don’t get my migraine attacks if not sure “koyak one”.
Guess what, my 8 yr old daughter (a fan of yours from AF) is now trying to puasa too. So proud of her, although I worry as she does not wake up for sahur (nor do I, just have a late supper). Have been trying to convince her to puasa 1/2 day only for a start.
Selamat berpuasa to you and all visitors to your wonderful blog.
September 29th, 2006 at 7:27 am
will try to visit other blogs and comment as well :)
i get the headaches daily! pretty severe early on in ramadhan but not that bad after the first couple of days.
September 29th, 2006 at 7:28 am
Migrain? Feeling cold?
Glad that I don’t have it that bad :)
Biggest obstacle for me is to go to pasar ramadhan and making sure that I don’t overspend!
September 29th, 2006 at 7:49 am
Kev
Happy Fasting…
Arghhh, well finally i find that there’s nuthing in pasar ramadhan…hahahahah (uishhh, banyak sgt makanan la, i’m definitely will overspend!
September 29th, 2006 at 9:12 am
overspending @ pasar ramadhan? sounds like me! its called nafsu ;)
September 30th, 2006 at 10:48 am
bro, you tahu kan yang hadis kelebihan tarawih itu palsu (google for it) ….. sorry to disappoint but then kita mana tahu apa tuhan akan balas, so pergi saja dengan hati yang ikhlas, balasannya mungkin yang lebih baik dari yang dijangkakan …. time ramadan elok doa banyak2 …. especially time masa sahur yang bagus (aku gak sahur cornflake, ada geng weh) …. mintak apa aja, badan sihat, kerja bagus, kaya maya, hilang pening, dan ehem, jodoh menjadi ;) … sambil kita berdoa dan baca quran untuk yang telah pergi (alfatihah).
peace.

if you have migrain you need to avoid 4C’s: caffeine, chocolate, citrus fruits and cheese. i got it from a trusted literature review. heheeh!!!! and try eating feverfew herb capsules. it worked wonders for my mommy…
October 2nd, 2006 at 10:49 am
1 out of 5 for terawih is not bad…i belum berkesempatan lagi unt terawih..Err…one question Kevin when was the first time u posa penuh?For the whole month of Ramadhan?
October 3rd, 2006 at 1:09 am
caffeine’s my problem….gotta have coffee after berbuka :)
uish now only 9am….still got some 10 hours to go :(
hahahaha…..
saudara: well said!
First time puasa penuh for a month? Form 1.
October 3rd, 2006 at 9:35 am
I’m a coffee addict too. Have been trying to cut down from 5 to 2 a day….suffering from withdrawal symptoms for sure.
My almost weekly migraine is triggered by smell(certain perfumes really do me in), direct sunlight into my eyes and certain local chocolates…so that gives me the excuse to chow down on the imported stuff ;)
October 6th, 2006 at 7:38 am
happy fasting kev!
i like your statistic:
“Puasa: 5/5 < ---- serious nie ;) Terawih: 1/5 <---- planning to go tonight :) Berbuka with family 2/4 Sahur: 5/5 Productivity @ work: 2/10 Productivity after berbuka: 7/10 "
what about berbuka with your babyboo? don’t leave her out yaaa..get her in the stat !

October 10th, 2006 at 3:09 am
Kev
did I see it right.. your puasa stat is 13/15?? What happened to another 2 days? :)
October 10th, 2006 at 12:18 pm
had some complications ;)
October 11th, 2006 at 10:43 pm
macam mana ni, hero kita, takkan terbengkalai. but heroes are human after all. kalau disebabkan kesihatan, aku doakan agar the rest of ramadan ni sihat dan seratus persen. hope it’s not because of temptation or naughtiness ;) badan kuat kena le semangat kuat, bang.
October 12th, 2006 at 12:58 am

October 12th, 2006 at 2:50 am
aiyo.. ponteng puasa 2 hari ka? kalo tak puasa penuh, tak dapat duit raya.
October 12th, 2006 at 3:58 am
Kev
complications? Hope you’re fit for puasa now. At least, now your aim must be 28/30.. hehehe.. One thing I like about your stat is.. you’re being honest about it. :)
October 12th, 2006 at 4:04 am
hahahaah at least i’m being honest :) and yeah am not perfect ;) hahahaha no one is……
October 13th, 2006 at 1:37 am
Kev
yup.. agree.. nobody’s perfect! Just wonder.. what happened to all your link and chatbox on the right side.. I see nothing but black background.. Kev, not going back kampung for Raya?
October 13th, 2006 at 2:14 am
xis: the chatbox etc is there…..works for me.
balik kampung? not this year. my family’s going to Phuket on the 3rd raya but I’ll remain here.
October 18th, 2006 at 2:24 am
xis i think you should get Kevin’s number so you can call him 24/7. Looking kinda desperate there!
BRAVO FOR FREE SPEECH!
