Crackers on Aidilfitri

Glorious day of Aidilfitri is about 2 weeks from now. Parents are busy preparing new clothes, furniture and decorating their house. Meanwhile children are celebrating the coming festival in their own way such as playing firecrackers and even make their own crackers although they knew it is dangerous. From years to years there are news on children lost their fingers because of playing own made crackers. But some children just do not learn from all the incidents. Government had taken precautions to overcome this problem. Under the Explosives Act 1957, the government has banned the import or sale of fireworks and firecrackers and a person can be jailed for five years or fined RM10,000 or both.

            Eventhough the banned had been done, still the incident occur during festive season every year. Do you think, the act by the government really help to prevent the lost of fingers and accident involving children playing crackers? What can you suggest to prevent the accident from happening?

Break fast : Home vs. Hotel & Bazaar

Usually, during Ramadhan, many people will buy foods from the 'bazaar Ramadhan', but actually the foods that is sold there was not completely clean. They may be exposed to the passing by vehicles' smoke, fly and maybe some virus from the passers-by that having flu or cough. Besides that, sometime it's hard for us to satisfy with the foods that we bought. We will usually satisfy with our homemade meals although it's not perfect.

Besides 'bazaar Ramadhan', some people will break fast at the hotels. I think it's not really a good choice because the foods at hotels not means that they are completely clean and delicious. On the other side, by breaking fast at hotel will waste our money. Actually we can eat the same kind of foods as the food at the hotel at home with only a usage of small amount of money. Besides it can save our money, eating our own cook are more guaranteed and healthy. That shows by eating our own cook is much better than eating at hotel.

Ramadhan month

It had been one week since we started fasting. When people talk about Ramadhan, it is always revolve around food, 'terawih', 'baju raya' and 'bazar ramadhan'. When I was young, I remembered, my family never eat 'tapau ' food from the stall during Ramadhan. We always had home cook meal. I do not know why but it was one of the sweet memories in my life. My mother and father are good 'chef'. All their meals are delicious. I miss their cook. I tried to do the same thing now in my own family, but sometimes I was so tired to cook even just one meal. Last Thursday, my husband and I went to a hotel to break our fast. The truth is eating our own cook is much better than eating at the hotel. I understand now why my parents like to cook during fasting month. What do you think?
