One of the most awaited moments during Ramadan is ngabuburit, or waiting to break the fast. However, we are often confused about choosing the right ngabuburit activity to hold back hunger while waiting for the time to break the fast.
There are various activities you can do to wait for iftar time! Below are some activities that you can choose to wait for opening time. Come on, read more!
1. Takjil Hunting
During Ramadan, you will often see lots of food and drink vendors to break your fast or takjil on the side of the road. You can take advantage of the time waiting to break your fast by hunting for takjil both on the roadside and at the Ramadan bazaars, which usually come once a year.
You can also make takjil hunting activities a way to try new menus for breaking your fast. So, your iftar menu is not boring during Ramadan. To make your transactions easier when hunting takjil, you can also use the QRIS Scan feature on MAS Mobile!
QRIS MAS Mobile scans can now be used everywhere, from street food stalls to shopping centers selling takjil. So, you don't have to carry cash and wait for change, which sometimes takes time when buying takjil.
2. Cooking
Apart from hunting for takjil, you can also wait for the time to break your fast by cooking dishes to break the fast. You can also manage your consumption and make healthier meals by cooking your iftar meals. Apart from that, cooking can also help you eliminate your focus on hunger and divert it to your cooking activities, such as cooking spices and cutting ingredients.
3. Reading a Book
For those who like to read, reading your favorite novel or book can be an option to wait for the time to break your fast. When you enjoy reading a book, sometimes without realizing it, time passes quickly and can help eliminate hunger before breaking the fast.
4. Light Exercise
Even though you're fasting, it doesn't mean you're lazy and can't exercise. On the other hand, exercising during fasting can add to the benefits of fasting that you do! Light exercise during fasting can provide additional benefits, such as facilitating the process of burning fat, facilitating the formation of body muscles, helping to expedite the body's metabolic processes, and several other benefits.
You can do light sports like leisurely cycling, walking, jogging, and yoga. This light exercise can take 20-30 minutes daily while waiting to break the fast. So, after exercising, you can increase your energy intake when breaking the fast arrives.
5. Watching Movies
Another activity you can do to wait for the time to break your fast is watching a movie. This activity is perfect for those who like watching movies, Korean dramas, or series on various online streaming platforms. You can watch one movie or one drama/series episode to wait for iftar time for about 1-2 hours.
However, when watching movies, dramas, and series, you must also pay attention to your chosen genre so it doesn't interfere with your fasting. Apart from that, make sure that your data package is enough to watch movies, dramas, or series to make your viewing experience comfortable.
You can also top up your data package or credit at MAS Mobile before watching your favorite movies, dramas, or series. By topping up a data package or credit on MAS Mobile, you don't have to bother going to the cell phone counter to top up data or credit packages.
