title : Lets fast!

2nd day back at KL
Feels weird ehh
No pap and mom's cooking
No sisters crazy get-together
A new semester awaits!

And yes it is 7.13 in the morning
I just ate a VERY full breakfast
One which I should not have taken
Bloated ~.~

What am I this lazy pig doing up so early you say?
Ahhh yes this is the period
THE period
The fast all Bahai's have been waiting for
RIGHT? xD

So why do we fast?
Because I am a Bahai < Ai Chee said ;D

"The fasting period, which lasts nineteen days starting as a rule from the second of March every year and ending on the twentieth of the same month, involves complete abstention from food and drink from sunrise till sunset. It is essentially a period of meditation and prayer, of spiritual recuperation, during which the believer must strive to make the necessary readjustments in his inner life, and to refresh and reinvigorate the spiritual forces latent in his soul. Its significance and purpose are, therefore, fundamentally spiritual in character. Fasting is symbolic, and a reminder of abstinence from selfish and carnal desires."

And so the fast begins!
First day today
First time fasting alone ;O

Wishing all fellow Bahai's a Happy Fasting (:
