New Semester and Ramadhan

October 4th, 2005 | Posted in Uncategorized

I started classes yesterday, I had a lot to do so I didn’t have time to blog it, but before I start let me first say this, RAMADHAN SUCKS, I started fasting today, it’s 2pm and I’m already starving. This year I’ve been eating on my own a lot, I can do it, but I hate it. I am not looking forward to iftaar, I am not sure of whether I am going to cook something, go eat outside with other people, or go the mosque.

I’m a little bit stressed and uncomfortable currently because I am not sure of how I should organise my daily schedule, I DON’T want to live WITHOUT a routine, it doesn’t seem that I’m having any social problems on the surface, but I’m really not sure of how I should allocate my time around all the different groups of people around me. I think that I would prefer being an anti-social person, but at this moment I’m talking to too many people that I don’t really seem to fully understand.

The silly Omani people did not fast today but I did. I went to the mosque last night, and the people there said that they’re gonna fast, we prayed tarawee7, and now I’m fasting today. The people there were from all the different nations, Khaleeji, Shami, African, White, everyone. I really don’t understand why the Omani people would simply decide to not follow the people of the mosque and decide to have their ‘OWN’ Ramadhan. I am lucky to be quite detached from the Omani society.

I might go buy my something to cook for iftaar, I don’t even have dates.

Anyway, on my way out, I would like to link to the Ramadhan Reading Blog, special thanks to the guys that are running this blog.

    I think that we are supposed to follow the country that we are in, you should tell that to the Omanis.

    I just came from my ‘shopping’ session, I still don’t have a slicing board, I guess that I’ll survive without it today.

    I believe you should always follow whichever country you’re in. I did that when I was in the states and I did it again when I was in Scotland.

    Having said that it pisses me off how the whole world chooses to fast just because Saudi Arabia says it’s time to fast even though it’s been scientifically proven that there’s no way it could have been the first day of Ramadhan.
