The power of the internet.

I had an early night last night.

At first, it was business as usual; getting online after dinner and when the boys have hit the sack. But just as I was reading the article on ReadBud, Shahrin called. He wanted a cuddle so that he can go back to sleep, so I laid down beside him and gave him a back rub.

The next thing I remembered was hearing chicken crowing in the distance. So, I got up believing that it was still early and nearly time for 'sahur'. As I headed out of the bedroom towards the bathroom, I saw the clock on our Astro decoder. Oh My GOD!

Guess what? It was already 6.30 am, not 4.30 am. I woke up too late, Sahur was already over. :(

So, with a heavy heart, I prayed my Subuh prayer, woke Shahrin and Nazrin up and gave them a bath. Made breakfast for them and got them ready for the day. During all that time, I kept thinking I should just take a bite and not fast today since I didn't have sahur, but luckily I didn't.

After sending Shahrin to his daycare, I came home and tried to do some housework but my heart was not in it. So, I went online and read a friend's blog.

She posted about Ramadhan and about fasting for a full month last year. And I remembered that I managed to fast the whole month of Ramdhan last year too. So, I made up my mind to fast today, even without having sahur. Thank GOD I did because at 7.33 this evening, I got to break my fast and completed my 2nd fasting for this year. Alhamdulillah.

Lesson of the day: when in doubt, go online, you never know what inspiration you can find that day!

Thanks Adik for that post! You saved my fasting.
