Alhamdulillah, dah masuk pun 7 Ramadhan 1438H, which means... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Hehe. My two birthdays are getting closer and closer.. I wonder if they will converge on the same day in the next few years... Hmm.. too lazy to do my own calculations. We shall just wait and see.

Syukur alhamdulillah, so far so good. Been doing terawih prayers every night so far, be it at the mosque, at work or at home. Even did 20 rakaat for the first time on the first day at Masjid At-Taqwa, and the second time last night at Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique. Yup, have been to a few mosques this year for regular and terawih prayers.. Those two, Masjid Istighfar, even prayed Terawih at Pusat Muhammadiyah for the first time. Lots of first times this year. Well, it is gonna be my last Ramadhan..

.. As a bachelor. Completed the ROMM application just moments ago. Gonna follow Fanna meet the MUA later after her work. TBH I have not put much thought or energy for the wedding so far. Time to get going. Less than 150 days left!

In other news, the dreaded medical screening turned out positively. My cholesterol levels were still in the acceptable range so I won't be sidelined like Ali Hafiz or Hafiz Ali. Alhamdulillah. This also means I gotta start training for IPPT again. Yes, I've been following Cik Fad (eh, da promoted, sorry, Sir Fad) PT, but I have not done them with full focus and effort. Time to buck and do better. Hopefully will book in August, better to clear ASAP, especially since this is also for workyear.

This is kinda old news by now, but I still can't get over my purchase of my first keris. Yes, I finally own my own proper keris. Keris Melayu Riau luk 9. It's beautiful. Not too gaudy, it's a simple design but I love it. There was another keris that intrigued me that day, apparently a Madura keris. I never knew Madura had their own keris design, but my heart was set on owning a keris semenanjung for a while now. Maybe, just maybe, if I were to get another keris, I will look for a Madura keris.

Oh, what a silly conflict. Fanna surprised me and bought me Persona 5 for my birthday! Though it took me a while before I even played it, but now that I've started, I wanna keep playing! But, but... Overwatch! Season 5 just started! Oh no... and it's the anniversary event! I haven't gotten all the dancing emotes! Decisions, decisions.. Plus it's Ramadhan, so I have been reading the Quran with the aim of completing it. Strategy was to complete 1 juz per day, but I have been following the wrong symbol! I'm way behind in terms of juz! Hahaha.. So yeah, things to fill up my time.. plus need to clean the house.. Aiyoh...
