Lost it ,again...

Damn it!I lost my Thumbdrive,again.This time it's the silver coloured,1GB I-mation flashdrive/Thumbrdive.Darn,why must thumbdrives be so small?Can't they make a palmdrive or something?Well,at leats i know i lost it at home.I hate to misplace something as important as my thumbdrive.

In another unrelated topic,I am having a month long holiday after a week of examinations.The holiday extends to October which is a good thing cause the fasting month is coming next month beginning next sunday.The month of Ramadan is a holy month for muslims everywhere.We muslim not only fast(abstain from eating and/or drinking) from dawn to dusk(Depending on the time of the sunrise and sunset of course) but also have to completely abstain from smoking,swearing,digging our ears and picking our nose,swimming,going to war with another country(serious!),biting our nails and having sex during the day time.What i am saying is true.

Most non-muslim in Singapore belives that when the month of Ramadan comes,they will associate that month with muslim fasting.What they didn't know is that there are other things about the month of ramadan other than fasting.There is the a special nightly praywers which is only conducted during the month of ramadan which is the Tarawih prayers.There is also a special night of the lailatur Qadar or layla Qadr (it's hard to type it out in english).Nobody is sure when exactly is the night but it only occurs during the last ten days of ramadan.

And at the end of the fasting month is the idul fitri or Hari Raya Aidilfitri as we malays say which is on the first day of shawal.Fasting is forbidden on this day.Hari Raya in short is the biggest holiday in Singapore and Malaysia as well as Indonesia.I'm saying this in case there are some non-south east asian happens to read my blog.

I am hoping that next month and in this year's hari raya,i get to buy new clothes.And with a new clothes,i get to visit my relatives on in style.
