illness or the thing behind it?

the sun started to shine after two days of glooms and strong winds...finally!few friends of mine had their umbrella broken into pieces after walking in the rain and wind (the wind here is so unexpectedly strong..sape yg kurus2 tu will face a hard time walking thru it..this is seriously true!)

i was seriously ill for the last two days..i had a rising temperature with cough and production of green sputum, headache and i can't get to sleep of the intense heat from my body...that was the first time i experienced that kind of illness since i got here last year...started to think of wut had i done wrong before that He gave me such signal to re'muhasabah' myself..hehe..maybe there were some part of me that wasn't really pleased Him..maybe it was my mouth..yeah maybe...think i talked too much lately..hehe...but after hibernated for one whole day under my duvet and continuously taking my medicine, i finally woke up today with some freshness in me and packed my things up ready for the library..yeahh here i am now...but i got these ugly dark circles around my eyes from my illness and i think they are easily recognized by ppl as my friend Ean asked me wut's wrong with 'em just now...takpela..it's not that i'm gonna meet somebody special around here..(err who knows i would?)

so a lil recap on my ramadhan...i performed my 1st tarawikh at the Dublin Mosque..it's common here that they only perform 8 rakaat of tarawikh with 3 rakaat of witir, and there's no shoutings by the bilal in between as happens in M'sia..and as usual for one night they'll finish one juzuk of Al-Quran..there were so many malays there (as predicted, most malays live near the mosque's area) and after the tarawikh finishes i went to one halal shop to buy dates..i had my first breakfast at the Malaysia Hall with most malay women as we had Hari Helwa 2003 on that day..it is an annual event of HELWA (Hal Ehwal Wanita), which is a sub-organization from PPIMI (Persatuan Pelajar Islam Melayu Ireland)..it was a great one and heh guess wut i was the emcee of the day..toink toink....

the next day till last night, i performed my tarawikh at home with my housemates, rotating between ourselves to be the imam and bilal..i think we won't be going to the mosque much as it is quite far from home and the tarawikh only starts at 8pm...plus the wind and cold..and for breakfast..lately we've been so crayzee to cook dishes for breakfast...u know when this kinda craving came, it's like oh shit i have to cook it now or i'll die not having it..haha..up till now we've made curry puff (menggentel karipap sampai kul 2 pagi...), kue ketayap, agar2 cocktail and i was about to make sardine roll last nite when Yani told me that there's a lot of things that are not finished yet in the fridge and yet i'm cooking another one..hehe..yep we have some bits of chocolate cake (from la boulangerie) and the agar2 left in fridge..but i miss murtabak so so much and think of doing some later..relax shu it's only a week of ramadhan..

i have to start working now or i'll regret this later...
