Hello Pln Oshiro Chaya Ed and all, Absolutely,Pln.I am quite enjoying talking about everything in this group.Except sometimes I don't know how to join in the issue.I mean I can't find the right way to describe my feeling fluently clearly and correctly.:) And I'm still not well prepared for our chat.:) All the members in our group don't know that I haven't been to somewhere for a long time.Because that my university is located in my hometown.So it's very hard for me to get the feeling like Pauline's. Have a nice to all!! Jason C.

It's complicated for me to say whether it's worth doing that or not, provided I don't have much knowledge about the Islamism. One thing that I believe is that fasting for 30 days is such a rough task and for them who do that, it must worth. >> >> Very sleepy!
