I'll Miss You Ramadhan

Can you believe it, Ramadhan is almost over. That when by quick! I missed a lot of days this time, especially during the weekdays. I had to because Maya needs her mommy’s delicious milk and if I were to fast, which I did for the first week, I can barely pump milk when I’m at work. I thought I was drying up when I couldn’t pump as much as I did when I wasn’t fasting. My body was just too dehydrated from the fasting. However, I do fast on my weekends since I don’t need to pump when I’m with Maya. To date, I’ve fasted 12 days. I’ll be fasting most likely on the last day of Ramadhan and maybe the day before that day too.

This passed Sunday, Faliq and I hosted a get together buka puasa with our friends at our home. I cooked for all 13 of us! I made chicken rice and chicken pie. I’m so proud of myself :)


Chix Pie


Rice & Chix Broth


Fried Chix To Go With Rice


Soy Sauce & Sambal & Other Condiments

and of course the desserts which were brought by Leey



I haven’t cooked for these many people for the longest time, so I was a little terrified on the tasting since I was fasting on top of it. I think the food turned out pretty well since all my food was almost gone. Thank god I had my mom to help me out with Maya and also helped me with some garnishing and condiments. *phew* I finished cooking just minutes before maghrib. The only boo part about last night's serving was my sirap, it was tooooooooooooo sweet. My taster, Zafirah, said it wasn’t sweet enough and she told me to add a lil more of the syrup. It was already extremely sweet in the beginning so just imagine how diabetes-prone the taste was after I added just a lil more. *yuckie*

All and all I had a great time hosting the dinner. Leey, Mom, and I had our gossip session in the room while the others were watching some movie in the living room. Gosh, how I miss those late night talking + Aza.
