Are you fasting today?

Since last week, my colleagues had been asking me this question


"Are you fasting today?"


And for hundred times I answered them by saying "Not todayla, but soon". I must say ,they were quite excited by the fact that I will have to fast for a month. No, actually they were more excited imagining themselves indulging with good food from pasar ramadhan.


So yesterday, during lunch, I was telling them that that would be my last lunch for this month.


Colleague 1: You sure that's enough or not? You can't eat tomorrow you know.


Me: Yeaah. I am full already *eating my mee hoon tomyam*


Colleague 2: So what are gonna do tonight? You have to perform some kind of prayer right?


Me: Semayang terawikh. And tomorrow shall have sahur.


Colleague 1: What is sahur?
Colleague 3: She have to eat before dawn laaa..


Coleague 2: Then for buka you can go pasar malam right? Wah, I made a pact with my bf already to go puasa pasar malam on this weekend.


Me: It's pasar ramadhanlah. Anyway, dependslah, not necessary I go to pasar ramadhan tomorrow. As long as halal, anything will do.


Colleague 1: Ey, I want to ask you one question. Why is it, that Malay cannot eat pork?*She always give me this kind of question*


Me: Well, it's forbidden in our religion. But I read it somewhere that actually pig has tape worms attached to their stomach. So it's not so hygienic. That's scientifically


Colleague 1: Oh, so it's because of hygenic thingyla? Because someone told me that Malay cannot eat because you guys sort of perform some kind of sembahyang to worship the pig.


Me:What??No!!!*laugh out loud*
The rest of my colleagues turned red and one of them was laughing hysterically.


Where the hell did she heard this from? Which moron told her this? I don't blame her, she's so naive and I think I'm the only Malay friends she ever befriended with. Perhaps she got mixed up with Hindus and their believes.


But if I managed to find the culprit, I want to sekeh his head.


Anyway, to my Muslim reader [eceh, macamla banyak sangat orang baca blog aku ni kan ], happy fasting.


May this month be the best month ever.
