Don't do iftar together! Don't, if you just want to show off.

Iftar means to end daily Ramadhan fasting at sunset, as soon as possible after hearing call for prayer. Iftar together means some people have an arranged iftar at the same place and time.

What's good about iftar together is that iftar can strengthen the bound among the members whether they are collegas or friends or extended family members.

It's 4th Ramadhan and I've already written about mudik? That's OK. There is nothing to lose to prepare everything earlier, right? So, here's why and how I go mudik.

Mudik means going to hometown from the place where we live. My family and I usually go to my hometown, Jogja, several days before Idul Fitri to visit my parents, family and relatives. We stay in Jogja until D+1. On D+2 morning we leave Jogja for Madiun. My family-in-law usually gather on 3rd Syawal. Which Syawal do we choose? It's the Government Ordinance's.

We travel by private car, so it's much easier to plan and arrange everything. The first preparation is the route. The main route from Madiun to Jogja via Ngawi usually is very, very crowded.

Taman Pintar Jogja, who hasn't been there? Me!

I wished to bring my sons here, to Taman Pintar, last year. We were having a long holiday at the end of the year. We stayed at my parents' house along the holidays and I arranged a nice vacation to Taman Pintar, a place where I believed my sons would love.

I would bring them to explore the Playground area where they could do some simple science experiments and excercise, such as the Whispering Parabola Dishes, Singing Walls, Color Spectrum, Tree House or Shaking Bridge.

Blog English Club (BEC) is one of the reasons why I write. I'm really glad that I have a routine activity in blogging by answering its weekly challenges. Now BEC has already got 200 followers. Good job, guys!

But, still, I hope that BEC has this:a facebook group.

I prefer facebook than any other social medias and I found that communicating through a facebook.group is fun and easy.

I really hope this can come true :-)

Rosa is my best friend. Was or is? I'm not sure. We were close friends at junior high but we keep the friendship up to today. So, I think we are still friends, so she is still my best friend.

Every single part of our lives produces good friends. Good friends from elementary school, good friends at college, good friends at work. There are always good friends around us. Thank God.

Rosa and I are really close. We shared our dreams and days together. We strengthen each other as I have written in 'Brave Must Be Have'.

What I remember about Rosa and I is that friendship is like a wave. It has a top and bottom periode. Every ups and downs means something. Friends never leave us whatever happens. When they're not beside us, they pray for us.

Well, that's what I can tell you about the memorable one ever for this English Friday Weekly Challenge #19. Friends come and go, and so does memory.

Moon halo. It happened last night (4/28) on Madiun clear sky. I had to lift my face up to 90° to see this rare spectacle. Did you see it too?
