Maulidur Rasul

Good morning people. Today I would like to talk about the Maulidur Rasul celebration which was held at the Surau near my house. I arrived at the Surau around 7.20am with a pot of chicken kuzi and a box of roti jala. Courtesy of my beloved wife. We were having potluck at the Surau that morning.

The celebration started around 8.30am where around 300 of us; men, women, and children; walked around our neighborhood praising our prophet, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. It took us about 25 minutes to complete the circuit.

After that there were a number of activities in the Surau, namely the reading of the Quran, berzanji, marhaban and a motivational talk about the prophet Rasulullah S.A.W. And there were also a coloring contest for children, and the writing of khat for teenagers.

Lost.... 10kg.. :)

Yesterday was a holiday for my beloved and me. It was Federal Territory Day. And yesterday, my diet coach came to our house with his wife and son. He took my weight and lo and behold, I've lost 10kg since I've started the diet. Alhamdulillah. :) My next target is to lose another 5kg, and after that, another 5kg, insyaAllah.

Went to an event on Sunday morning. I've been to a lot of events in the past. Seriously a lot. But I have never been to one like last Sunday. Before the doors were even open, the crowd was huge. It was like we were waiting to get into a concert. Seriously. We had to inch our way into the hall, with security checking to see whether we had tickets or not.

Left early since I had things to do that Sunday. But it sure was an eye-opener for me. :)
