Ramadan has left us for another year which is always a sad occasion.  Did I make the most of it?  Truthfully, I’m not sure.  The beginning of Ramadan started out well enough but my resolve started to sag in the middle.  Tiredness I guess.  What I like about Ramadan is that you can just shut out the world and focus on faith and worship.  I’ve learnt new duas (prayers) and I want to take myself forward with a positive, upbeat attitude.

               

For Eid I wore my fuschia pink salwar kameez which is so bright it could be used as an alternative light source.  I cleaned myself up using my wild cherry scrub.  The scrub was good – it was strangely jam-like – it was sticky, sweet and I applied the scrub on my loofah like I was spreading jam on a piece of toast.

We visited another family for an evening Eid party.  It was fun although there weren’t any people around my age which sucked.  I ended up talking to a young girl of 10 who asked the most rude, intrusive questions I’d ever heard (‘how old are you?’ ‘What do you for a job?’ ‘Can you sew?’ etc, etc.)  I tried to bat away the questions (especially the age one because damn it that’s just plain embarrassing) but it was to no avail.  At the risk of sounding like a self-loathing Asian, why are Asians so damn nosey?  I mean, seriously, it’s just ridiculous the way some people think they have the right to know everything about you and your family even if you are visibly squirming and being evasive.  Just sod off already!!! Ugh. 

Thankfully, she left with her family early and the rest of the evening was spent in peace but my auntie (hosting the evening) noticed and said that the whole family was like that.  Apparently, the littlest daughter of 3 or 4 years old calls my auntie by her first name which is just plain rude. 

anyway, I’m just going to set that aside and let the Eid goodness wash over me. 

Eid Mubarak everyone!
