Thursday night I slept a little while I was in my deep sleeping at 7:30pm. I supposed to wake up at 12midnight to prepare their foods for Suhor- meal before the sunrise. But my baby love woke me up because she was asking a thing she knew I am the only one knows it. I lost my sleeping schedule and I began making things for the Suhor. For the last 10 days of the Ramadan, my boss would stay in the mosque from 8:30pm until 6am . It is in their belief that the there are something miracle happens at dawn starting 27th to 30th days of Ramadan. They focus on meditation, prayers and reading the full book Quran. Men are praying in the ground floor and women are staying in the second floor.
I am cooking all the food for the family and the streetcleaner. That is my whole month of Ramadan offering. I am also cleaning downstairs, the first floor. It should be presentable,ready for accepting visitors.
I did a lot of things and the problem was when I was awake the whole Friday. I want to close my eyes but I can't. My head was awake.
To utilized the time, I didn't like wasting time for nothing as well. So I sewed the dresses of my Madam and her daughter for Eid Al Fitr.
What is Eid Al Fitr
Eid Al Fitr is the feast after the whole month of fasting. It will be determine when they saw the first crescent of the moon(first day of the next following month). The festivities will be held in 6 days. Those days will be so tiring because, that is the time they are accepting visitor from all the people they know, the well-wisher. Then, they will visit relatives and friends. They will be dressed up with the most beautiful attires they wanted to wear. That day of giving and receiving gifts like what Christian did during Christmas.
For the preparation of the Eid Al Fitr, I repair all the dresses and the sewing machine was too busy yesterday. It was too funny that I operated the sewing machine while I was falling asleep. It surprised me when I heard the sound not knowing that it was my foot who did it.
Looking too haggard without sleep since Thursday.
Maybe, the other ladies are yet to give me their attire to repair. This is the dress of my lady boss.
The dress of the 2nd daughter. I just laugh because they do not pay my overtime😅😅😅. But it is fine, God will bless me a strength to go on my way of living.
My grandmother is a dress maker. She taught my mother how to sew. I have Uncle who cut and sew too. Then, my youngest brother is a dressmaker and a tailor. He knows how to sew everything. I knew how to sew too but not master as like my mother. She was an excellent gown maker and all.
My boss love my work, my cooking, how I did everything because what they want from me to do, from electricity or whatever, I will do a try before refusing.
That's my story and I hope you enjoy reading it.
