Musim Berganti...

First of all I would like to wish all Ramadhan Al Mubarak. Alhamdulillah, we have been given another opportunity to grab the Barakah of this month. Hopefully our fasting is getting better than previous, more ibadah, tadarrus and be kind to others (reminder to myself, I aim to finish recite the Al-Quran, I only managed to read half of the Kitab last year.)

Along with Ramadhan, the season also changing in Australia. We are in Spring now, but still chill during night and morning. Alhamdulillah we have beautiful days, less rain and the best part we can feel the warmness of sun, maklumlah, winter tak nampak matahari sangat.

Those who love flowers take the chance to go to the garden for flowers watching. Some of them go to Araluen to see tulips, some go to Margaret River to see lavendars. But due to transport problem, furthermore we have to pay about $25 just to watch flower, we decide not to go.

During this fasting month, there are many activites held by the schools, especially sports. This coming Friday the Primary school will organise Faction day. I hope the children will be strong and able to fast after all the runnings and jumpings. But I will bring water supply and foods in case they were not. So far, they completed their fast except Hasif. He only fasting until lunch hour. Pity to Along, his school organize river cruise today but he cannot go because the program will be ended at 8.30p.m. It is a problem to us to fetch him (we don't have car) furthermore its Solat Tarawikh time. Hopefully, one day we will be able to bring him for river cruising.

Today also the Primary school is organizing NAIDOC day...the day to celebrate the Aborigines and the Torres Islander. I wonder what are the activities, may be they will paint their face like the Aborigines and dance their traditional dancing. But for sure, they will serve Kangaroo stew for lunch, luckily the children are fasting. I have to tell Hasif several times not to eat the kangaroo because its not halal, he will say, "Ok, Mum!". Sodap gak daging kangaroo ek, tapi halal butcher kat sini tak juallah plak daging ni.

Once again, Ramadhan Al-Mubarak....
