♥ Ramadhan 2010 just past. Wanna see the experience? ♥

.
ok so this post is going to be a late latee post but it's still fun to blog about! ;)
the Muslims just celebrated Ramadhan 1 Syawal 1431 H. 
I, celebrated the last week of Ramadhan and the Eid Al-Fitri at my home-country, Indonesia.
I brought along my Thai BF too to experience the joy.

short detail, - Ramadhan is the holiest of months in the Islamic calendar which happens during the lunar month of Ramadhan that precedes Eid Al-Fitr Lebaran, we as the Muslims feast and eat at night and Fast during the day from dawn to sunset.
and the Eid Al-Fitr is a three-day that marks the end of Ramadhan. 
at the eve of it, people in Indonesia usually do Takbir and playing with fireworks. 
and the next morning, mass prayers are held in mosques and large open areas around the country. 
traditionally, every family in Indonesia celebrated with the traditional dish called ketupat and visiting with family and friends. 
charity donations amal are traditionally given at this time. 
just prior to lebaran a mass exodus mudik from capital city of Jakarta of over 3 million people occurs as residents return to their villages to celebrate with family and friends. 
begging of forgiveness for any transgressions or slights in the past year is expressed during visits, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin.

in Ramadhan, I decided to wear the headscarf or usually known as Hijab.
wanna see how I look on them? here it is..

and here's some other pictures of the holiday..

♥ TIESTO Kaleidoscope Worldwide Rave ♥

♥

 

I went to Bangkok last week on 'Chinese New Year' break.
I'm not Chinese btw just to be clear, caz people have mistaken me a lot. :(
the purpose of the visit this time is to party live with TIESTO^^ yayy~~
it's the Kaleidoscope World Tour.
I really like this album, it has more melody & lyrics than the previous tiesto stuff. 

the rave itself was pretty cool.. set up in the rooftop. 
not exactly rooftop though because the Premium Ticket holder didn't actually get to chill under any roof outside.
me & friends came very early & & there were only very few of people there. we decided to get in anyway.
& that's how I was able to take some pictures.
but as the time flies, more & moreeeee people came, it was impossible to take pictures anymore.
i'm sorry for that. i didn't even get the chance to take some snap of TIESTO himself! lol.
there were too many people & I was up dancing all night^^
I didn't take any personal pictures of my journey that night caz I was just kinda busy havin' fun & didn't even remember to take some pictures. :(
but I give you some ideas from the pictures I found in Google.

 

(the ads)

so the rave was located @ Central World ZEN Rooftop in the main city of Bangkok.

(everybody else was just chilling out, seriously, nobody taking pictures. lol)

  

(the DJ set. but that's not TIESTO. hehee)

(posing at the very beginning of the rave, before it's too pack & impossible to take pics)

 (helloo^^)

 

(TIESTO crew in the back)

here are some actual videos on set. TIESTO did a lot of remix this time, which kind of a bad thing caz I always like his original stuff. but overall he was pretty rockin' or (trancin') perhaps if that's even a word xD 

he played good stuff from Kaleidoscope that got me good. :)

escapeee meeeeeeeeeee.....^^ knock you ouuuttt.....^^

I had a lot of funnnnnnnnn.. yayy!!

love.love ♥♥
