The Fast and The Furious

.

And I’m not talking about a Japanese movie.

I am talking about the state of the solat terawih here. Imam Flash is alive and well and he is faster this year. Solats isyak, terawih, 20 rakaats, and witir, your standard 3 rakaats, throw in your solat sunat, all in 40 minutes. Adeh, my knees were creaking and back was aching.

But once in a while, the slower imam will take over. Imam Steady. I was tempted to call him Imam Rock Steady but that simply would not fit in the overall template of Ramadan.

Uh, a breath of fresh air. Steady as she goes.

Today's fasting - tired and sleepy. Weak at the thighs and my stomach feels lousy... I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry....
