Ramadhan has finally come... and with it good tidings, acts of generosity, piety and remembrance for all the good blessings we have received and continue to receive from the almighty.
However, the urge to moderate ourselves when it comes to breaking fast is where we tend to fall weak, yours truly included. With the sungkai and sahur eating out options springing up a-plenty (gerai-s included), consumers are incredibly spoilt for choice, being especially lured in by the competitive prices.
This is where the true test of Ramadhan comes I feel... for having done well to demonstrate self-control and deny ourselves abundance during daylight but only to overindulge ourselves at sundown, just defeats the purpose of our spiritual intentions and not to mention, contributes to our ballooning waistlines and declining health and well-being.
Certainly not the easiest position to be in as a person and consumer I have to say.
Anyway.... happy fasting everyone and hope you all have a blessed Ramadhan! Remember people: key word - moderation!

Selamat berpuasa too to all our family, friends and readers.
Here here Medulla..I fully agree with you though I have to admit I've already failed miserably on my first day!?!
Oh yeah... It's much harder eating in a group!
