but starting last year, not just winter, ramadhan kind of making me quite emo too. but difference kind of emo. more like a homesick-kind-of-emo.

okay i know im a 26 years old grown up man which make me so uncool to feel homesick and all that. well, 7 years living far away from your country + no muslim friends around you should simply answered that.

it kind of weird coz i can remember all the good ramadhan moments i had over 10 years ago but not last year. maybe no any good moments happened last year. all i remember was i had to eat just bread during the break and then straight away study for java in office. and i remember eating alone at gusto like everyday at 2am.

actually i remembered going to gunma for two days just to have a good times with my fellow gundaian so that my ramadhan is not that 100% sux. well i got good 2 days of ramadhan there but that just it.

as i was having my break today i just kind of think the positive side of all of this. one thing i got is that by having this lonely ramadhan im actually starting to remember all the good moments of ramadhan i had all these years. i think im going to list it one by one.

1. i remember buying grape mirinda (the can version) like everyday on ramadhan when i was a kid. i will break my fast with it and got scolded by my mom coz i must break with water first.

2. i remember going to terawikh just so that i can hang out with my neighborhood friends. we would hang out at the street beside the surau and just talk nonsense or teasing people or ngorat anak dara org after the 8th terawikh prayer. good old times.

3. i remember ramadhan at mrsm. it was SPM season. one night before the physics exam we all gathered outside the school to have a fight with teknik students (i mean a real fight). we all got beated very hard tho.

4.  i remember ramadhan at sri rampai. after lecture we will go to the pasar ramadhan beside the tasik and bought like all the foods there. then we will eat at someone room without eating all of it. then loko or op will come to finished it all :p the best food sure going to be nasi goreng longkang. it was called longkang coz the akak that sell it always showed her longkang :p

5. i remember ramadhan during college years. it all happened during winter so we just had our fast for 7, or 8 hours? everyday me, paklan and din will rotate preparing the foods.

6. i remember ramadhan at kiryu. after the terawikh we would have some light muhrih. one day joke asked me to prepare a muhrih coz i always take but never give. i agreed if someone prepare sirap bandung for all of us coz i really want to drink sirap bandung at that time. so nuex agreed on the sirap bandung and i make my most pride mee goreng. everybody starting to dig my mee goreng after that. joke even said i can sell it at restaurant.

well i surely got lots more good ramadhan moments but maybe need some times to think all of it :p so when i think all of this good moments it just makes me realized how awesome is my country and how awesome people that used to be around me. makes me miss them more. i think if im always with them and never got out of my country, i will never going to remember and notice all this. so this is the positive side and im going to hold on to it :)

last but not least, selamat berpuasa to all my muslims friends, may this ramadhan bring lots of good moments to all of us!
