Buka Puasa Bersama

Menyenangkan sekali. Alhamdulillah...saya bisa berpuasa Ramadan di rumah Kediri walaupun hanya 5 hari saja. Yup..seperti ini suasananya....dapur rumah. 

Adik ipar, istri adik laki-lakiku bersama anak-anak (atau keponakanku) datang dan itu membuat suasana berbeda. Menyenangkan pokoknya. 

Walaupun hanya ada krupuk, sayur bayam, tempe goreng, dan well...nasi tentunya....itu sudah cukup untuk membuat suasananya membahagiakan. * plus ada kolak....walaupun tak terlihat di foto ini.

Bagaimana nggak....lha wong...inilah yang saya cari .....

alasan saya ke Kediri bertepatan pas Ramadan adalah karena...inilah suasana yang kuinginkan. 

Keponakanku mulai bermunculan....Bapak dan Ibu pun terlihat sekelibat..sana. ^^

Alhamdulilah. 

During & After

Shoes all piled up together during the feast. Gosh..what a scene.

sandals, slipper, shoes, sneakers...all piled up..

After the feast, most gone home and some left: the hosts'^^

Some might ask as to why I put these onto the blog, well..this is something NOT ordinary that occur in the front door...# memories on July 26, 2013. ^^

1st Day of Ramadan @ Itaewon

The first iftar we had in Seoul Central Mosque. It's a tradition that the Masjid holds every Ramadan on a daily basis. Everyone coming to the Masjid is served with iftar (breaking the fast). It was like a privilege to be here since we could meet lots of Muslim from other countries sharing the common way of celebrating Ramadan. 

This is where we get donation..I suppose. 

Today's first menu was well..what would a Ramadan be without dates. 

The committee prepared hundreds of iftar everyday. It's neatly arranged an hour before dusk and then... 

people started to sit around the food and we started the first iftar of the first day of Ramadan.... 

As for me, it was also a good start to make friends and associate myself with others who came to the Masjid. 

It's been a great day.

Alhamdulillah. 

Then..came the big feast...after Magrib prayer, people lined up to have their share of the first big meal ( I did not know what). I went home as soon as I finished magrib prayer. But, I'm sure that it must be something with 'meat' or 'chicken' which....happen  to be not in my list: hey..I am a vegetarian.^^

I wonder as to when there'll be vegetarian-friendly 'feast'? 

Not a chance, right? But, it's a good thing that I am not into meat-eating culture..so I can skip this long line-up and concentrate on other things. 

So..that's been my first day of Ramadan.
