the things that happen during terawih..

During this past Ramadhan, Ive had the pleasure of ample time to google my eyes and observe peoples actions in the mosque, thanks to no exams, and assignments, and more exams..

So heres wat Ive seen for the past 24 days :

1) The first day of terawih is always the fullest. People literally pray til outside the mosque. And dang its hot if u dont get the first saff..

2) On the second week of terawih, there's only 4 complete saffs.

3) People burp their food out with no shame. And they smile later. Here's the chronology of the event
"burrrrppp, looks at me, the rotten smell of everything seeps into my nose, and
then they say ooopps, and smile."
NASTY.

3) Ive smelt more petai smelling burps than anything else. Belacan smelling burps come in second.

4) Since Malaysia is hot, u wud think the most wisest thing to do is to wear minyak attar when praying, since perfume has alcohol in it..But nooo, some of them are still oblivious to the fact that you do stink when you sweat during prayers..

5) the mosques are always hot and humid, and people always sweat.

6) Speaking about sweat, I once saw this girl get up after terawih and started squeezing her telekung, and I swear I saw a few drops of water, no, sweat, drip.

7) After the last turn of salam, almost two complete saffs dissapear, and theres this huge pleasurable gush of wind due to their movements. Now thats when the mosque is finally at a temperature of at least 23 degrees celcius..

8) Most of the saffs are filled with visible holes.

9) People flap their telekung in and out to get air. and to share their delicious body odour obviously.

10) The teenagers who skip witir and wait for their parents to finish their witir tend to hide behind massive pillars. When their parents ask if theyve prayed, they say yes.

O how I love my terawihs..
