Without any doubt the most majestic building in Brunei and is 50 years old this year - Mesjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien.Here, it's a lazy weekend with nothing much to do. Apart from watching live football and F1 during the day. Being still in the fasting month, this is not the time to do any long trip or a weekend escapade. End of Ramadan though is just around the corner. The month has gone very quickly and soon it will be back to normal routine. Gladly for us it has been one of moderation as far as food intake is concerned, shedding a few pounds or so along the way. First day of Aidilfitri has been set to fall on 1st October here. That might coincide with Brunei if the moon is sighted on the evening of 30th September.
We paid the Zakat Fitrah on Friday yesterday. The amount is set at 7.50 Euro per person. For the Indonesian mosque here, the collections are directly sent to Indonesia where it is more needed. As for Zakat Harta, we paid it whilst we were back home last month. We nomally do it every beginning of Ramadan so as to remind the passing of the calendar year.
