Ready, Steady, Puasa...

Saturday and it’s the last day before the whole country goes into puasa mode. I noticed an emerging trend this morning at the gym, men in their PJ’s, yes people u heard it here first, this man working out in his star-printed pajamas, drawstring again….What happened there…Sleep Walking? Oblivious to everyone's stare, this man even proudly flexed his physique infront of the mirrors right in the centre of the gym..I imagined the mirrors breaking into pieces!

Somehow I still believe that the country's favorite past time is EATING, beating football and everything else, even if this is not true, it is true today as people are out in full force. We were having tea at Jing Chiew, apparently to celebrate a last meal before tmrw's puasa. Note: ‘tea’ is defined as to our portion/ servings, meaning mee hoon, curry puffs, roti kahwin, buttermilk prawns and the lot, in other words; gluttony.


Today Jing Chiew was packed to the max with people with the same intention like us celebrating the first day of Ramadhan tmrw. I managed to get a snap of Jing Chiew from my phone ...


Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa to all Muslims all over Brunei & the world...

The holy month of Ramadan
For all Muslims has begun.
Praising Allah through the day,
From dawn to dusk we fast and pray.
We pay zakah (charity) for those in need,
Trying hard to do good deeds.

When the sun has set, and day is done-
I’ll break this chain, but only one.
By the end of Ramadan,
It’s time for Eid and lots of fun!!!

Slamat Myambut Ramadhan & Take Care
