Friday Feast

Friday Feast. When i was a kid, I never quite liked Fridays. Because that's the day we have to cut our nails( i always wanted them long like Madonna's), Ustazah mengaji would come over and the weather is always hot (i remember thinking that's the reason it got its name, Fry-Day). But the great thing about Fridays is, we always have a feast. Friday means good lunch. Since it's the weekend, and we have later lunchtime, we have more time to prepare a good feast compared to other days. Even when we don't cook, it used to be the day my father brings back Nasi Biryani. I love Nasi Biryani. Well, now that i'm older, i've learned that Fridays is so much more than feasting. Especially as a Muslim. It is jammed packed with goodness and blessings that it has grown to be my favourite day of the week. Eventhough it's still really hot sometimes...
