Slow Mo and Fast Forwarding Time

time

Summary - Time with a sense of humor

I was checking the calendar to check out this week's charity at Darul Izzah Bangi (Deliberately written to persuade you going hehe), when I suddenly realize that today is already the 23rd of Rejab. It seems like just yesterday, I notice of the coming of Rejab. Counting... there is only 36 days left to Ramadhan.

(Rejab and Ramadhan are Islamic months. Muslims all over the world will be performing the fasting during Ramadhan.)

If you notice, time sure fly faster when you are not paying attention.
  • When we are just so busy with works, We will not even notice that we've just missed lunch.
  • When we start fasting when we were children, we are holding a clock and see every second goes by. The longest time is the last 30 minutes :)
  • When we got stuck in a meeting with the boss talking so slow, you can hear your stomach.. time feel like stopping. and yes you are hungry..
  • and many more examples of this
I guess when it comes to time, it really depends on your mind whether to pay more attention to it or let it pass you ignored.

Funny right? If we dreadfully hated what it is we are doing, we are doomed to "enjoy" every seconds of it and time move so slowly, you would check whether there's something wrong with the watch every 5 minutes.

And if you love what you are doing, before you even begin to enjoy it, it's already sunset.

heheh time really has a good sense of humor. Don't you think?

--------------- Personal Note --------------------------
I remember very clearly the day I started fasting. Our "Abah" (Father) could see that we were going to lose the battle when we started going to the kitchen observing what new food magically appear on the table. He then took us out to the "Bazar Ramadhan" (A place to buy food to break the fast). There we were rewarded with RM5 of our choice of food and drinks. We really feel energetic then. With so much money, we bought a lot of food. I can still remember it covered almost the whole table. When we came back from the bazar.. it turned out only 30 minutes gone by. We still need to wait another 1 hour or so. All the energy previously had, had now vanished. And there we were looking "terhele" (very tired) with an alarm clock by our side. hehe

So what's your first day of fasting looks like? There's got to be funny stories in each of us :)
