Closer to God.

Did Terawih with love and I stil want to do it again. Working 5 days per week, with those endless number of people shopping in Geylang doesn't make my work any easier. Teens all around would be shouting TGIF! while I will fret Fridays and weekends because it just means I have to workworkwork, to serve those who doesn't haven anything else to do but shop in Geylang Serai. I wonder, if Malay Singaporeans would start a riot with the government if one they the government decided to stop doing bazaar during Ramadhan. But to think of it again, we need the bazaar. If not, tak meriah lahh.

So back to the Terawih sessions. I had only been to An-Nur, like every year.It is okay but I will be too busy wiping sweat and dust sticking to my face after my sujuds as the mosque will be so so packed. And since it is an old mosque, and not yet renovated, that explains why multiple fans are not enough to serve the people.

The thing is that performing Terawih in masjids together with the other Muslims gives a different feeling inside,although I can do it at home with grandaddy with the comfort of my personal fan. Maybe it's just the serenity the mosque evokes. Or that captivating voice of the Imam, reciting every verse of the Al-Quran so perfectly that sent shivers in a good way, or maybe it's just knowing that I am one of the Muslims, praying together as one religion.

In other words, it makes me closer to God. So Naddy my Terawih partner, I will see you tonight okay. =)
