Ramadhan Magic

Ramadhan last year was one the most meaningful in my life. I cooked breakfast for the first time. I was Azman’s wife and for the first time I was not just my Mom’s daughter, Melati’s housemate, or Mawi World’s Haters’ Club President (which I still am now). It was a Ramadhan of significance but inarguably it was not one of a challenge. Fasting was still like having 5 thousand bucks in my pocket, walk into Zara and try to refrain myself from NOT buying anything, way too easy.

The situation this year is tad different. Significant and memorable? Yes because for the very first time also, I kena buatan orang am carrying the world most precious parasite in my tummy – a baby!

I waited for the 1st Ramadhan this year with mixed feeling. I am eager to take the golden opportunity of fasting for 30 days straight, something I have been unable to do since acne puberty hit many years ago. That’s the privileged of being a pregnant mama. But this pregnant mama is also a ferocious eating monster and being idle for a couple of hours without food have always made me very-very sick.

I prayed hard last night, asking for Him to give me the strength to fast, and to knock off the heart burn for good. Please don’t let me passed out at the office. Please don’t let me puke in the car. Please let me do the fasting ibadah, it is for You! Please!

At 7 am on the first day on Ramadhan, I puked out my sahur meal after brushing my teeth. I was frustrated, I was afraid I hadn’t consumed enough vitamins and minerals for my baby but I figured that I must go on. So I continued fasting. At 9 am I felt sleepy. At 10am, Bani the Crazy and Frankie the Goofy was clowning around and had my eyes wide open with laughter. I waited for my limbs to shake with hunger but none came. Unlike the day before, so unlike the day before.

I was feeling so healthy it was almost like magic! At 2.30 attended a meeting at the office, I felt fine, in fact I felt so good that I paid attention to the chairman explaining information system architecture more than I had been attentive throughout three years of learning computer science in college. At 6pm was walking briskly at the Pasar Ramadhan and at dusk, breakfast just like the not preggie me last year. I completed day one without a hitch. I completed day one being so healthy, it was just like magic…. Praise Allah The Merciful, The All Mighty, The One…

Azman and I wishes everyone a very blessed Ramadhan. May the magic of the holy month is bestowed upon you too! Selamat Berpuasa!

    Take care Diyana!

  11. diyana sebenarnya minat giler dgn mawi, sehinggalah satu hari diyana telah tertipu dengan sms kuiz mawi. pada hari itu, diyana sungguh sedih, lantas telah menunjukkan kesedihan yang teramat sangat dengan membuang segala poster mawi dan artikel mengenai mawi. sejak dari hari itu, diyana telah berjanji tidak akan meminati mawi lagi.

  12. bani..! mmm…cara ko citer macam KISAH BENAR kat TV3 jek…keh keh keh

  13. Phewww thank god you did not turn in a ferocious eating monster. i was ready to sacrafice my chubby arm/butt/thigh/cheek just in case you run amok because of hunger hehehehehe!

  14. frankie….please do think again and again..do you really really want to give your chubby arm/butt/thigh/cheek to diyana aaaa…betul tak nyesal? i dont think so…i think la…nowadays, these part of your bodies are among the most thing u treasure the most hak hak hak…if u know what i mean (if u dont, i know u pura pura dont know)

  15. Mommy to Chumsy,
    Fasting for pregnant ladies is not compulsary… if you tak larat at any time you can just eat la.. hehe.. but later have to ganti puasa you know, and fasting alone when everybody else is feasting is not fun!! huhu

    As for Mawi Haters’ Club.. oh, im not just that, i am the president for many artists and malaysian politician haters’ club oso.. hehe
