This Ramadhan has been happier/brighter for me though. Helping around the house, preparing the dinner table almost every day, washing the dishes without complaining(heh, i complain 1/2 the time i admit) and going for terawih with my mum. I didn't get to pray alongside my mum and other fellow muslimahs (muslim ladies) last year but this year, i did. Alhamdulilah. Last year, mum worked till late so i went alone for a few days but felt demoralised because i didn't have company..

This Ramadhan also, i've learned to control my emotions better. And what i say mostly. Whatever that's negative, i keep it to myself. Whatever that's good, then i will tell someone about it. Although a few times i got too angry/irritated then i complained. Today for instance, (i didn't tell anyone but since i'm typing it out here..) i was outside cleaning the shoe racks, washing the corridor, watering the plans and stuff. AS USUAL, my kaypo neighbour had to open her door to look at what i'm doing. I HATE HOW SHE ALWAYS 'SPIES' on what we're doing. Everytime we open the door/gate, she'd look. And her old, unused shoe rack is in OUR territory. I didn't bother to give a hoot about it so i put a plastic bag filled with dead leaves and shoes that i threw away on it. 1) She didn't use the shoe rack anyway, just using OUR space to dump her crap and 2) I can't stand the fact that she allows her family members to slam the bloody doors at night when people are asleep/move furnitures in the middle of the night and when she waters her plants and washes all the dead leaves to our area which has a hole where the water enters and goes down to the ground without cleaning it. IF HDB COMES TO CHECK AND SAY WE'RE FINED FOR HAVING DENGUE MOZZIES HERE, I'D BLAME HER. She doesn't deserve any respect.

My dad saw what i did with the plastic bag and asked me to remove it (my dad can be strict with us but is still so patient with people like her!). I kindda refused but my dad insisted. I was so mad at him for being so nice T_T Even with the dog poop incident. I always see campaigns that encourage us to foster good relationships with our neighbours. I always laugh it off and tell myself,"Yeah right, like i would want to even try." Try having a neighbour who puts moth balls outside her house because i had my rabbits at the corridor. Wouldn't be suprised if she killed the other neighbour's dog one day..... Sheesh.

That's the only complain i have for this Ramadhan. Other than that, i'm extremely thankful that our family hasn't lost our tempers. Really thankful, God made us wait for years hehe. I hope this will continue~

On a different topic...During sahur (morning meal before we start fasting) a few days ago, dad was talking to us about our Prophet (peace be upon him) and how he would wait for all his followers to finish paying their sins in Hell before he enters Heaven himself - which basically means he will be the last to enter Heaven. I can't find a word to describe him. He's everything good and has done so much for us. And although he has passed on so many years already, he's still not done. He'll only be done on the Day of Judgment.

My dad has so much knowledge to share. Honestly, i prefer him telling us stories about the Prophets and religion rather than telling us how many bad encounters he's had... Haha (: We're all trying to make him look at life in a better light (: Yes, this life is temporary. But we should make the best out of it nonetheless (in the right Islamic ways of course) because He is the One who brought us to life here and want us to work hard for both this life and hereafter. InsyaAllah, amin.

I'm starting to look forward to Eid on Sunday and then going visiting with my cousins and friends. EXCITED! I miss my dimwits and my friends! And how glad i was to go back to school yesterday for VC. Had tons of funnnn!

Since we're on the topic of photography, I REALLY WANT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE 35MM LENS! ): We'll see how my Raya collection goes, hehe. If not, i'll just get the 50mm lens. Good enough for me ;) I read this on DPS and i couldn't agree more. "Prime lenses force you to compose better photos. You can’t just zoom in and out from the safety of your own home. You have to move closer to your subject and get down on your knees or climb a fence, jump up and down while patting your head and rubbing you tummy to get that shot."

OFF TO BED NOW. My pimples are attacking my face and that's not good news. Raya is on Sunday! :'(

PS: Yup, it seems like that. I'm slowly forgetting..
PPS:Jay! We'll be waiting. But be well (: STILL gonna support 2PM. 2ONEADAY DOES NOT speak for all of us. T_T

, osn.
