TERAWIKH

So how's your first day fasting? Still adapting? Hungry? Thirsty?

Ok, as per promised, I will write about terawikh prayer here. Actually the solat itself is all the same. It just become a slightly different ("berbeza" tidak bermaksud "salah") when they start to read the Doa Qunut from the first night of Ramadhan. Usually, from what I've experience back in Malaysia, our Imam will only start the Doa Qunut at the last 10 days, right? But it's ok, nothing wrong with it.

And the best one ialah, the Doa Qunut is read together with other doas. So............. it becomes a very looooooooo--ooooooooo---oooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg one!!!! Imagine we have to stay berdiri for quiet a while (I'm not sure how many minutes, I cant look at the watch!). Until our feets feel so numb! Hehehehe..... (that actually shows I ni malas buat solat2 sunat la tu...Aduhhh, so bad la me...)

As usual, this doas are recited in the last rakaat of Solat Witir. Phewww...... lega :D (I'm so bad, jgn tiru mcm saya!)

According to my last year's experience, the last 10 days will be the most exciting ones. After Isya' we just do 4 rakaats of terawikh, then everybody will go home. Imam will make an announcement at what time we have to come back to the mosque to continue our prayers. And it usually will be at 1 a.m. Haa... best kan? So kiranya mcm terus sekali buat Qiamullail lah.
Hopefully tahun ni pun macam tu, and I just cant wait for that beautiful moment! (Ye la, klu sendiri mau bangun jgn harap la... huhuhu)

One more thing, during Ramadhan ni everybody seems to be very the very generous one. Semua nak bersedekah. And biasanya in our mosque ni tiap-tiap hari mesti ada orang yang nak letak air mineral berkotak-kotak for jemaah. Bagus jugak. Tak payah dah I bawak air utk cik Zuzu n Yaya :)

And ada jugak yg bersedekah tisu. Oh, kenapa tisu??? Actually mak-mak arab ni sangat mudah berpeluh sebab.... sory to say ek, sebab they all ni kan gemok2!!! Oppsss... takpe kan, bukan I mngumpat, just nk bg tau kenapa ada yg sedekah tisu berkotak2 dlm masjid! Hehehehe.... Usually they will hold the tisu sepanjang masa depa solat.

Kadang2 ada jugak yang bawak kurma, and ada jugak yang bawak wangi-wangian. Sounds interesting? Boleh la cuba buat kat masjid anda :)

Oklah, till then.

Pulut Sekaya a.k.a Seri Muka utk berbuka semalam. First time ever in my life buat sendiri kuih ni. Kurang manis dan lembik pulak aiyooo...
