IFTAR ~ A Good Tradition For The Family

A colleague of mine came to work dressed exceptionally well today with a lovely long-sleeved shirt (he told me it's made in the Brunei Style) with cuff-links and small detachable gold buttons.

I asked him, "what's happening?" and he told me, that this the evening, he was going to break fast (he's Muslim and it's the Fasting Month of Ramadan) with some colleagues.

He explained that this is called 'Iftar' and families take turns to invite other families to join them in the evenings during the Fasting Month of Ramadan.

I think this is a very good tradition where families get a chance to meet one another. 

I've learnt that...
The more we see one another, 
the more familiar we'll be with one another, 
BUT the less we see, the stranger we'll feel, 
and we should not feel like strangers... 
... especially in a family.

Wow! True love, in its truest sense, is what love is all about.

What Are Words ~ Chris Medina (Lyrics)

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I'll keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words, if you really don't mean them, when you say them
What are words, if they're only for good times, then that's all
When it's love, yeah, you say them out loud, those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent 
Just for me and I know I'm meant 
To be where I am, and I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words, if you really don't mean them, when you say them
What are words, if they're only for good times, then that's all
When it's love, yeah, you say them out loud, those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I'll keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close
