Fasting Blues
Another Day..another fasting day, and another day spent to the accomplishment of the next.
Another hour..waiting for the clock to pass the threshold of buka puasa time, and another hour before the day itself is done.
That's me and my brain, just feeling the strain of routine. Apparently puasa's slowed down attitude towards working life is never really a welcome affair. I constantly find myself working tediously to pass the time, only to find mere minutes have passed between point A and point B. Could it be that i unwittingly work faster during puasa? or is it the bizarre order of my brain that fidgets and squeams its way towards reminding me to look at the watch most of the time?
Nevertheless it's a responsibility i take seriously. Like what i told my close friend before, 'obligations are obligations, i guess..' In a way i'm kinda proud of taking the whole experience in stride. It's only 30 days in a whole year that i ever get to do this anyway. Besides, if no one's going to remind you of the suffering the rest of the world is going through, god might as well give the reminder to you himself.
Well.. enough of my food depraved ranting.. i heartily wish happy buka puasa to all those muslim readers out there that might have found this blog by accident or otherwise. Hang in there..just a few minutes more.. cheers all!
