Lontong

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Aaaaaaagghhhhh!!!!

During the whole month of Ramadhan, I had never missed waking up for sehri, but this morning, I opened my eyes when the 6 o'clock alarm started screaming! I usually sleep with two phones by my side. One is set to wake me up at 5am and the other one, to wake me up at 6am, 6.30 am and 6.45am... Why so many settings mama? Because mama likes to doze off again after switching off the alarm! Hahaha... so to be on the safe side, I had set more than one. I had left the one set to go at 5am, charging downstairs. Huhuhu... Pity Syahmi, he has just another day to complete his sunat Syawal. Never fear boy, mama will keep you company, tomorrow ya... Hopefully I won't miss sehri again tomorrow morning. Hubby has another 2 days to go. You too, don't worry dear, I'll keep you company... insyaAllah....

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E
