Breakdown

My bus broke down yesterday .Its been a long time since I too a bus that broke down. It seems to echo what is happening around the world to day. I mean the world is literally falling apart. There was the tsunami in Acheh, hurricanes in America and now earthquake in Pakistan. Alhamdulillah Singapore is spared of any natural disasters, save for the denggue outbreak, we don't have much to complain about.
Every fasting month I am tested by God Almighty with my patience. This year is no different. Still I am trying my best in the fasting month. I joined the terawih prayers till the end and reading the quran.
I had a great time at my parents place last week. My brothers and sisters came together for the first time in a long time to break-fast at my mom's house. We were talking, laughing, teasing and I felt the warmth of family togetherness that used to be there regularly. Not that it is not there anymore but everyone got married and moved on and we hardly got time to get together. It was whole lot of fun.
