5 Days in Pakistan

Its been a while since I last actively blogging. Hehe. Actually, I have some sort of Internet difficulties in here, Islamabad. In Malaysia, I do have my Broadband wherever I go. But now? I fully dependent on my office internet access. Pity me huh?

Its been interesting journey so far for me here. Been knowing lots of people. Malaysians and Pakistani as a whole. In month of Ramadhan makes this experience more interesting.

The first 2 words I learnt in Pakistan is 'Sahri' and 'Iftar'. Sahri refers to 'sahur', while Iftar refers to 'buka puasa'. I remember one time at Karachi airport, I actually dont know whats 'berbuka puasa' in English. I accidentally said "Do you know what time do Karachi break-fast?". Funny huh? Breaking your fasting is the same as 'Berbuka puasa' right? Hehe. Nevertheless, she understood what I meant.

I've been Iftar with fellow Pakistani family during my first day fasting in Pakistan. I also had an iftar with Malaysian Embassy here. Last 2 days, my boss hold an iftar and invite is subordinate to his house. And today, my project is going to have an iftar session at a restaurant. Yeah. Free meals for me. Not to mention, more fat for me!. Damn.
