"Ramadhan is come!"
Yesterday was the first day of Ramadhan in this year of 1426 Hijriyah. For me, current ramadhan is very special because it's a first time, me and my wife, fasting together in our tiny noisy lil' house ^^. FASTING is abstaining from food; (Islam) a fast (held from sunrise to sunset) that is carried out during the Islamic month of Ramadhan. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/).
There are many interesting things here in our new neighbourhood, currently. Our house located exactly on the hook of the street. In front of it, there is a large field, usually used for soccers, volley ball or other sport activities. But it can be used for parking area also ^^. Kids are safe playing there, because far from the road. Unfortunately, in rainy season, the soil is rather wet and slippery. Near the field, there are two traditional shop, side by side. They sell some Indonesian traditional foods such as, rujak ulek, gorengan, krupuk, kolak (available in Ramadhan only), and other daily stuff. Finally, at the corner there is a car/motorcycle washer. Quite noisy when they wash the vehicles. It is maintaned by Karang Taruna (a group of boys & girls in the neighbourhood to do useful activities for neighbourhood together). It's really interesting.
Around 02.00 - 03.00 a.m. some boys with their musical instruments make some yell rhytmically to wake up the neighbourhood to prepare their Sahur. Even it's quite disturbing because of noisy, it's very efective, though. In the night, we are doing shalat Tarawih (Praying together in the night of Ramadhan) at the public mosque near the highway. I can feel the atmosphere of Ramadhan here...
The last but not least, I would like to say happy fasting in this holy Ramadhan for all moslems around the world, may Allah bless you.
Wassalamu'alaikum,
