I entered 2 days of fasting successfully. Alhamdulillah.
No hurdles at all.
I am contented.
So far, break times are used for prayers. That makes it two plus points.
Better still, I got kaki to go for prayers. Another plus!
And nothing much can be said to out 35-minute disappearing act cos we didn't even go out for lunch break.
I guess it is true when people say that Ramadhan tu ader rahmatnya
Many a time we overlook them, busy-ing ourselves more with the daily activities.
This year around, I make SUPER HUGE EFFORT to go back between 5.30 to 6pm. It's not something you see me do at all.
Ask THE colleagues.
Kalau Mima cakap nak balik 6.30pm, konfirm she will be waiting for a cab at 8.15pm
I'm not complaining.
In fact, I am enjoying the times I get to spend with my family, rushing to buy buka & ber-buka-ing with them.
Having the daily dosage of chocolate milk tea.
Mom has been trying to give me cookery classes when preparing sahur
But luck has been on my side, being able to escape from it ALL the time.
Lil' sis being more enthusiastic than me.
Only because she's so jakun that mom's cooking.
*nods head*
Probably that is the only time she cooks & she cooks because my dad is in town.
Else we will be suffering with bread and oats and her continuous efforts to make us eat less.
I must admit, I did put on a little bit of weight.
It periodically panics me. But the panic button will release the minute I start thinking that I am going to go 14 hrs without food.
*slap forehead*
I am so hopeless.
*hung head*
Anyway, I used to love to go to the mosque which is too conveniently near to my house.
Today, azan Isyak berkumandang (*ahem!*) and I was still in the shower rinsing soap off my body.
Wore my PJs and a telekung over my head and off I went.
Super convenient!!
Over the years, I stopped going to the mosque during Ramadhan cos I would end up being so pissed.
And I thought those previous years episodes would be sooooo over.
But noooooooooooooooooooooo it didn't!
I had to tell myself to go at my own confortable pace and ignore the audience.
An ibadah to each and their own, despite the masses.
Why?
So many MAKCIK TRAFFIC!
I mean
Ada hati suruh jemaah lain tutup saf yang lain.. But they themselves do not barge!
Why?
Cos they got themselves cosy at one spot.
It takes one to do and the rest to follow.
In fact, I was praying and this makcik tell me where to stand in the saf.
Thing is, she wasn't in my saf!!!
Yang
*shakes head*
hmmmm ye lah... khusyuk nah la zikir tur..sempat control trafik plak tur
There was one makcik who had a hard time duduk antara 2 sujud. Her condition made her unintentionally move forward after every ra'kaat
She was told to get back in saf when she was only 1 feet off.
And who told her?
The makcik traffic aka Makcik Imam perempuan
Hmmmm.... part part witir, makcik tersenguk-senguk ye? Kesian... penat jaga orang eh makcik?
I really do dislike being in a mosque despite me wanting to be in it.
Why can't people just focus on performing their own prayer.
And youths, don't look around and compare yourself with other muslimahs in the praying area. Do YOUR prayer.
It is really not a matter of who can last longer during terawih prayers or Who looks as if she is a person who rajin beramal ibadah or How one looks in their prayer costume etc etc.
This has been happening since many years back. Since I remember moving in here 18 years ago.
If there has been talks about modern Islam, how come the mentality and perangai so kuno?
Ok come let's change the topic.
Let's talk about Islam. Commercialised Islam.
