My most memorable Terawih memories.

When I was schooling in KTT Sepang, we use to pray under the stars. It was not like that in the beginning. You see, KTT was small and the space was limited and so is the pray room. KTT was literary 2 ‘rumah kedai’ buildings used as a college. So, when those in charge decided to move us outside, we pray on the tar road (on mats) and under the stars. It was the best ever! It was cooler outside, with the night wind blowing. A few took pictures from the apartment above because they can’t resist the fantastic view.

Then in UMS-KAL, we pray in the mosque and of cause the space is bigger. What I like about it is that we (my friends and I) use to race before the others to get a spot in the first line, wishing to have a camel as a ride in the afterworld. Afterwards, after Terawih, we rushed back to our apartment to continue where we left of. Continue what you ask? Eating of cause! LOL. Sometimes, if we were not in the mood to cook for the day, (don’t tell the Felo about us cooking) we go to the mosque to break fast. Though sometimes we prefer not to, because at the mosque, there are these girls you see that sometimes looks like they lack energy. Eating slowly, passing the food so so carefully, so proper in everything that we think twice before we show our true selves. Not ‘pelahap’ but energetic self. (^_^)

After UMS, I when to KT to work for a year and I live in a rent house there. So my housemates was my ‘Terawih geng’. Fortunately the mosque was not that far from our house and since we don’t have a transport, we walk there. We accouter many ‘makcik’s that some pray sitting down and one sitting on a chair. Coughs of old people can be heard as well as cries of small children. It felt like in to the hospital sometimes. One the way back, walking hand in hand with my housemates, we always bumped into Bangladeshi (or Indian Muslim, I’m not sure. I didn’t ask.) workers. They work in a grocery store nearby where we always shop and they live somewhat near the mosque. Funny nah?, different nationality, same religion. Islam, a uniting religion.
