Arwen kena ganti Puasa dah...

My my how time has flown by. You had your first period in April 2018, you were in form 1 or rather IGprep in Brainy Bunch International School. So for the first time you had ABC during Ramadhan. 8 days because you had your period at the beginning and at the end of Ramadhan.

So now its the end of year school holidays and since we are not going anywhere, I said you must ganti puasa now. Otherwise it will be hard during schooldays next year.

So today 27 Nov 2018 is the first time Arwen ganti puasa.

Time sure does fly baby...

Selling your bike

4 June 2017 - Bak sold your trek bike to a family in Bangsar.

...and we went straight to Decathlon to buy your new bike! Aren't you fortunate? You were so tired because it is the month of Ramadhan.

Ramadhan 2015 (18 June - 16 July 2015)

This year you managed to fast for a whole month for the 2nd time. You were more tired than last year though but still managed to pull through. You also prayed more than you did last year. Still not the full 5 times a day but it's a start. Alhamdulillah.

Last year we did a whole lot of crafts to distract you and with that you hardly even nap during the day but this year, you napped more and mostly watched TV because Mama was tired too. Sorry Wen.

You achieved a couple of firsts this Ramadhan. You did a presentation on the subject of Mars in front of your whole class for English. You volunteered to present and you got a tiny wooden cat statue from your teacher Puan Lung because you were the best on that day! Yeay!! Another was you participated in the English Week Group singing competition and your group from 4 Jed won 2nd place! Yeay again!

I am so proud of you because you volunteered and participated. I hope you will continue this effort in your new school.

Ramadhan 2014 (29 June - 27 July)

You did it Arwen! Arwen berjaya puasa penuh selama sebulan! Wow! For a whole month! You really did surprise me sweetie. I didn't think you could do it but you did! Alhamdullillah! Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah! You even wore tudung the entire Ramadhan even though I said it's ok not to since you are still a kid.

At the end of the Ramadhan, I asked you what was the best thing about Ramadhan? You said "Crafts!". I should have expected that - it's what I used to distract you from the fact that we could not eat or drink until Maghrib. We made lots and lots of crafts. Watched a lot MyFroggystuff channel on Youtube.

You only got out of bed for the first sahur I think. For the rest of the month - sahur in bed!! Aiyaiyai..but it was easier to bring the food to you rather than having to drag you to the dining table. Some days you went back to sleep after sahur but most of the time tak tidur pun.

29 June 2014 - First day of Ramadhan - to keep your mind off the time, we took you to watch this movie at the Strand Mall.

At Houz Depot with Sophie - the doll that MyFroggyStuff used in her channels. We recently found and bought her at MetroJaya..

Ramadhan 2013 (July 10 - Aug 7)

Arwen puasa. Last year, you still ate breakfast in the car like usual and then no eating at school. After school, you immediately had lunch. So puasa setengah hari la. This year is an improvement from last year. You get up for actual sahur and eat. First few days, bak carried you downstairs and then by imsak all of us finished eating but as Ramadhan progresses I told Bak to let you eat upstairs in the room. So you eat sahur at 5.30am and finishes by 6 or 6.15am (all the while must watch something either on the ipad or tv - right now you are into Regular Show)

Then after school, you break- fast on average at 3 pm or 4pm. The longest was at 5pm! Arwen tak nampak penat puasa. Balik sekolah pun boleh nyanyi lagu maher zain dalam kereta tapi tak tahan lapar!! Hehe takpe practice je ni ok. Nanti dah besar sikit kena puasa penuh ok!

Tahun ni siap ada fasting chart lagi!

1st time sahur - ok boleh bangun, ada ipad.

2nd Sahur - tak boleh stay awake.

For the rest of the month - sahur in the bedroom!
