Roasted corn

Assalamualaikum my lovely reader tonight is raining in my city, how about yours ? it is also raining or not. In this post i will talk about the one food that’s really perfect to eat when a rainy day. So let’s read my story until the end. In this evening, I and my friend decided to buy roasted corn. Actually i and she was have a plan to buy it on four days ago at the time when we arrived at the stall, the roasted corn has sold out. This occasion made us disappointed, so we’ve decided to turn back again in this evening. After we arrived at the stall, we immediately order three roasted corns. Two of the corns is spicy, and the other is sweet. A short time later is heard from the mosque of the adzan Maghrib while our corns are not ready cooked. So we decided to back home and pray maghrib at my boarding house because the stall is not far from it. After maghrib prayer, we back again to take our roasted corns but it is raining so we used an umbrella to go there. The umbrella that is u...

I don’t know why she feels like that, maybe scout makes she busier because in this semester we have a lot of important courses that need more attention from us .   The other reason why i know that my friend doesn’t like scout is from the event when we went to the Sabaru campground for 3 days. I was really happy there, but my friend was getting sick because of her gastritis. There were ma...

Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum  my lovely reader.  Is not long time to us meet with ramdhan.  Welcome Ramadhan. Ramadhan is a special month for all muslim in this world, and also Iam as the muslims. Who is far, will be close and who is tired, will be back, because ramadhan will unite us. As a student who is far from parents, or big family, I feel dissapointed because can’t gather with them in my hometown. This is the second year that I can’t spend my ramadhan time in my hometown. Last year, around of a week before ied fitri, I just could go home because some of my subject in the college still didn’t finish. I went home alone without my friends because they had been going home before me. I thought about how I can spend my time here, again. I open fasting with the food that I cook alone. There are no food which is cooked by my mother, there is no father who accompany me to kill the time before magribh, or there is no young brother who shout that he is hungry. I miss all the momen...
