Performed solat jamak Zohor/Asar at Masjid Long Tan Lojing, Kelantan. The name of Masjid Long Tan is in conjunction with the name of the ruler of the South Kelantan, Long Tan bin Long Yunus bin Long Sulaiman. Masjid Long Tan, Lojing is the first district mosque built in Lojing. The mosque was constructed in 2010 and completed in 2013. The mosque is located near the border of the state of Kelantan and Pahang. The weather was cool and the surrounding ambiance was awesome.

After the terawih prayers, the jemaah were given a pack of Cameron Highlands zucchinis each to being home. On the way back to our apartment, we detoured to Anjer Corner and bought packed nasi goreng and sup ekor for sahur.
