Before the fast

Before the fast begins, few days are allocated as Intercalary Days, or better known as Ayyam-i-Ha for the Baha'is. Baha'is celebrate the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha each year from sunset on Feb. 25 to sunset of March 1 as a preparation for the Fast. During Ayyam-i-Ha, members of the Faith perform acts of charity, give gifts to friends and family, and attend social gatherings.

So for social gatherings, I went to Durham on Friday to meet up with the Baha'is around the area for Chinese Buffet!!! THere was about 20+ people and it was so much of fun... more than half of them were youth which made it than much more fun!! Dinner was quick but the food was so much that i practically force feed myself!!! hahahaha....

After dinner, the youth decided to go play bowling since the night was still young. So 10 of us headed to the bowling alley for some bowling fun! I haven't bowled in a long time so bowling into the gutter was way expected. however i had a strike and a spare to cover for that!! ahaahahah

Done with one game, a few of them wanted to play with the arcade games in the bowling alley so it was fun seeing some of them on the dancing machine jumping away!!!

It was too late when it was time to go home, so i stayed over at Amy's place for the night and only went home the next day!!! I really had fun and hope to meet up with them soon ...

sorry no pics...was too busy having FUN! which i kinda regretted not taking when i came home!
