Fasting Month

I have sat in front of my computer for so many nights and i have never written anything simply because I do not know what to write about. I guess that's what you call a bloggers block!!!

So here I am, in front of the computer screen trying to figure out what to write but i simply couldn't. Then it suddenly came to my mind, it's best to write when you are intoxicated, cause when you are "there" whatever comes to your mind is the truth. So here I am right in front of the laptop and I still couldn't think of what to write (and I have just finished 1.5 litres of wine).

I have just read an email from my good friend Dass, or as he would like people to know him, Jesu, about the Ramadhan month. Ramadhan is like Lent Season for the Catholics, for some of you, you might not be familiar with this term. where they have to fast for at least 30 days (some of them fast everyday for half a day to make it 15days to feel good). Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I fear that the "Beautiful" month of Ramadhan is being too commercialised. The focus is no longer on the purpose of fasting but more on what you can eat for breaking fast. We see so many hotels offering Ramadhan buffet that cost you at least RM45++, the most expensive by far is RM99++ by one of the 5 Star Hotel at Jalan Sultan Ismail. It takes you away from the main purpose which is the main reason why Muslims are fasting.

I fear so much that the month of Ramadhan will be Christmas all over again, where the main focus will be Father Christmas, instead of the birth of the Son of God. I do hope that the Muslims will realise this sooner than later, instead of pointing the fingers on "Capitalist" later when it is too late. Islam is such a beautiful religion (mind you I'm a Catholic) to be spoiled in this way. They (the Muslims) are in my prayers everynight.

Anyway, that's just my thought when my blood is filled with Bleu 1995 Merlot Vin de' Pays de Oc (RM89.90 at Hero Supermarket, only 3 branches at the whole of Klang 'God Damn' Valley). It's wine by the way, and it's so sweet that i decide to call it the happy wine.

Ok, i think I'll stop now, before i continue on rambling about other stuffs, which might just get me into ISA (Intenal Securities Act) because of OSA (Official Securities Act). That's definitely going to be my next topic when I do my stand up comedy, if I ever have the guts.

Cheers with 20 bottles of beer...
