..as Ramadan nighs, pakmat sat back a little..it has been a year since the last..Bachok is gearing up for it..you can see tents coming up on open fields..fasting schedules were distributed at mosques and suraus..and conversations are laced with anticipations..
 |
| ..pakmat with Rizal Hashim of Loose Conan and Kelvin of MSL enjoying a meal of nasi kerabu at Yati's..not among the best,the nasi.. just passable...but the memory is priceless.. |
..and pakmat gave his thanks..to his Lord...for the last Ramadan..
You gave me Blessings unasked..let every drop of rain be testaments to Your Greatness..
..and every cry of infants a reminder that my time is nearing its end...
 |
| ..Auji with brother Amnan..and their mother.. |
..Lord, You have granted me the time and space that I may greet welcome another Ramadan..
..give me strength, Lord, that I may strive more..
 |
| ..Ayam..right royal as usual..confident of her place.. |
..for I tried my best then..and I fell short..and I will again this Ramadan..
.I seek Your Guidance...
..and I seek your Benevolence...
 |
| ..Comot and the rest following my evening jogs around the village.. |
..please forgive me my sins...and accept my repentance..
 |
| ...going out to see..seeking God's bounty.. |
...Your Gifts to me are many and boundless..and my thanks to You inadequate and small..
 |
| ..a morning at Pantai Irama.. |
 |
| ..a naked tree..as one day pakmat will be.. |
 |
| ..coffee and a good read.. |
 |
| ..a creeper in pakmat's garden.. |
....and it is as with every Ramadan..pakmat is full of trepidation... regrets of past sins..joys of sahurs...
satisfaction of breaking of the fast..and fullfillment of solat in congregations...
