Ramadhan 2017



We just finished Ramadhan!

Yaaaay...

It is the month when we don't eat or drink during the day.
Well, actually from so early in the morning, at around 3.45 AM, until sunset at 8.30 PM
It was a long day!

Mom said it is the holly month for Muslims like us.
And we need to train ourselves to control our hunger, thirst and emotion.
And also to share the feeling of being like the poor people who are not so lucky like us.
I like the idea 

It is not easy at all.
Especially as it's summer in NYC.
I also have to wake up sooooo early in the morning, eat, pray, sleep again, then wake up to get ready for school. 
But after long days, I managed to finished it.
I broke my fast around 6 days, mostly because of my activities at school or because of the heat!

My sister also learnt it, although she was only 7.
She started the same like us, but finish the fasting earlier, as long as she can handle it.
My parents didn't really force her to finish it if she could not handle it.

Now that we have finished the fasting month, I can't wait to celebrate it!
