Our Serious Struggle During Ramadhan (Week 2 Entry)

Now, Ramadhan come again at peaceful and harmonies place in MICET. But, fasting at MICET is little bit different with fasting at home. There are so many challenges come to us during celebrate Ramadhan at MICET. It is, lazy to wake up for having sahur at the early morning with cool freeze air. Also feel tired to go to class especially at peak time. Then, feel so lazy together with losing of idea to do the exercises or assignments that has been given by lovely lecturer. After breaking fast, a big challenge come. Feel so lazy to go to mosque to Solat Terawih.

 We don’t care about that; let’s brainstorm about how to overcome the wasting food and money during Ramadhan. Since we don’t have MARA loan, we must survive until we get our pocket money, especially during this Ramadhan.

So, let try some opinion for that:

1.     Make a Budget

Go to Bazaar and make it easy and save….

Main dishes = Packed Rice such a Nasi Ayam Nadia or Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah (RM 4-RM 5)

Side Order = Murtabak or Roti John (RM 3)

So, Total =RM 8,

30 Days in Ramadhan month, RM8 x 30 Days = RM 240 (More or less as eat during usual day)

2.    Schedule Food Menu

This is to avoid feel boring with the same type and taste of food. Create a schedule menu what are food are going to buy for each day. We can create for a week or maybe for a whole Ramadhan month. So, we can taste and eat without waste that food and our money.

3.    Avoid go to Bazar

This is the best way that can be applied. Do not busy to go to bazaar; just write in the peace of paper or SMS what kind of food we need to someone who always goes to bazaar. Create some check list with whom to order. Find at least 5 to 7 person who really love to go to bazaar. This can save about RM50 of our vehicle fuel. But keep this checklist secretly because when they know, maybe trouble coming…. 

4.    Limit Time.

If really want to go to bazaar for make own choices of food whether at Alor Gajah Bazaar or Tampin Bazaar, put the limit time how long we stand up at the bazaar. Don’t wait for a long time, that may cause your brain become like crazy after see various delicious food at there. And will make your money fly away from your pocket faster than usual. And maybe those foods not enter your stomach, but trough to the trash bin.  The ideal time is, if time for breaking fast at 7.30PM, time to go bazaar at 7.00PM. Depend on the distance of bazaar itself. Then, you not have much time to walk slowly, turn your head left or right. Only buy some food, and then go back to MICET immediately to enjoy your meal.

Are these way effective or not, let try it first. However, whatever challenges come from, when it comes, why it appears or what type is it, we don’t care about it, because we have a special brain with strongest mental and physical to overcome that challenges.
