Monday marked the start of Ramadhan, the fasting month for Muslims. In case you don't know, muslims are to fast during the month of Ramadhan every year, from sunrise to sunset. Fasting means no food or drinks, smoking (thank goodness i kicked that habit months ago!) sexual contact and harsh behaviour / language. This means for a month, muslims have to be a pious and pure lot, reflecting on their wrongdoings, visiting the graves of loved ones and giving to the poor.

you may think say what!? no food for an entire day? i mean yes. an entire day means from 5am till 7.30pm. but from 7.30pm till 5am, we are free to eat and drink. its not that hard. you may think omg i starved the whole day, i'm prolly gonna eat a horse when i break fast later. well no. for me, eating just half a plate of spaghetti is actually very, very filling. most of them tend to eat very little. just take it as a break for your gut!
