Faith Food Fashion....Post Ramadhan....

Hi yaa peeps...it's almost a week when we first celebrated Eidul Fitri, and we are still celebrating. The mood is still strong, especially for the Johorian, I must say.

For me, since hubs and I have the luxury of choosing our off days, hubs have decided that we spent more time together in Pontian, Ayer Baloi....but I do not wish to blog about that apart from the new swimming pool that hubs constructed behind the old rumah pusaka. It was a dream came true for him!


I wanted to reminisce on what I have or not achieved during my Madrasah Ramadhan experience....I have done more Terawikhs than I have ever done before all in solitude...at the wee hours of the morning...it was an experience that I pray I live long enough to do it again (better) next Ramadhan....I have done more solat sunats than I have ever done before , too! And the serenity and calmness....only you and the Almighty knows. I also did my first ever Solat Tasbeeh...syukur for this with Ustazah Fatma... but I only got to verse 44 AlBaqarah ....blergh...I must continue with my Quran reading......


...so...post Ramadhan, I will continue with my Quran reading and possibly join the Quran reading classes on Monday till Wenesday in Surau Bukit Mulia, inshaallah....


...Ramadhan this year was also the first month I was salary -less....did I peep into my account...no....I just left to Him to determine and make sure that I have enough...and Alhamdulillah I had more than enough even though baking frenzy was only during the last weekend before Syawal....so total submission is really the way to go folks!


I must also say that I have been blessed that I have met more people of the flocks that I wanted to be (not that I do not want to be with you...)...it's all in the doa....


...and now, what about food and fashion...I really think they are similar but of different nature...food evolve and change like fashion...people talk about food as much as they talk about fashion...right! People don't just talk about dinner or coffee...much like fashion, people talk about the producers, the craftsmanship, the ingredients, the style....Look at how Butter Cake evolved into Victoria Sandwich Cake...and from a simple cake sandwiched with preserves, I have added buttercream and fresh fruits! Food is not all about the same flavours and tastes and colours....with styling, one needs to do contrasts and mix and match...ohh....I so love this area...a new repertoir in my menu and it is so fun to do! I am a sanguine, I need to be happy, to evolve and change you see......and the result...you will see a great combination of flavors and colors! Inshallah... 


....and I'm one couldn't help notice my obsession with this blue lens aviator, hehe...love it! We need to evolve like food and fashion!


So...Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin.....
