To

My Dearest Anne,

Soon it will be our fifth year together. I just want to say that I am looking forward for that day. I love you, as always.

If..

I have chosen a simple life in the 1990s, I wander what would life be? I have never chosen material wealth. I do not love this material world unlike the many people I know. For me, whatever is happening in this world are just are meant to distract you from achieving your real objectives. As you know, we are looking forward to the Afterlife. I don't understand the pursuit of material wealth by so many people? Is is necessary?

God has promised us the rewards if we are submissive towards Him. Unfortunately, many of us chose to rebel. Premarital sex, booze,drugs, you name it. It makes us look like animal sometimes.

I really regret my freewheeling way of the 90s, I admitted that I wasn't that good. I really used to be that good but somehow, I was really distracted by Yati.Is this is case of love blinded by lust? I don't know, I can't turn back the clock.By dwelling on the past, it makes me really sad. I don't dwell on it. There are timesI encountered her and I wanted to yell at her but to be frank, I was guilty too.

If I have not chosen this work of mine, I rather be a lorry driver. It is really fun drivingthose lorry when I chose to rent one last time. Anyway, I got two work years before I hit the one million dollars mark....

To My Dearest Son, Abdul Dayyan

I just want to say Daddy loves you very much. Daddy is trying to correct all
the financial problem we are having. Rest assured, Daddy is raising money via
passive income, Daddy just started on Forex and still mastering it.

With God guiding us, we will be successful. Hopefully we can have a mechanical
horse so that we can bring you and little sister home every night.

My Four Street Wise Cats (Part Two)

I know I have not been logging recently. My fault, in realityI am preparing to transit to Verizon Business, hence the tardiness in updating the blog.

Anyway let me talk about that later, let me introduce you to Kuntit.She is extra big black and white cat, I don't know what genes she has. It seems she is imposing and one tough cookie. I called her Kuntit cos the night before I was watching this Indon movie about some dukun and she is called Kuntit. Well, the name kinda stuck on that silly cat.

Just like the rest, she has the habit of stalking me, occasionallyshe will come to my place and meow all over asking for a quick tuna dinner.Well, that is her but I really really puzzle to what happened to her.She just disappeared overnight. I suspect that lady on the third floor took Zack and Kuntitto her new home. I hope she is happy with her surroundings.

That leads me to the last cat, Zorro. Zorro has black furs covering her her facewhich resembles like Zorro! Ha ha ha,Zorro is not so accomodating or friendlylike the rest. Maybe she has a reserved character but the good thing is that I see her often.

Didn't I tell you there is two new comers to the block. I called them Whiteheart and Strippy....

My Four Street Wise Cats ( Part One)

When I moved in to my wife place in Tampines back in December 2002, I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of well fed cats loitering at the void deck. I was immediately smitten by them. I don't have any picture of them.

I can remembered clearly Zack, the young male cat, who is trying to be the dominant one.
When I saw him for the first time, he has the aura of charisma and confidence. He is a strong cat too, when I fed him chicken drumlets, he tored it into half with his teeth immediately and I can hear the crunching sound he made. Must be hungry, I thought. He even bullied the madame of the quartet, Hitam. Unfortunately, Zack disappeared from the block. I suspected that the lady on the 3rd floor brought him to her near home. Good bye old friend, you always been a fighter in my eyes.

Hitam means black in my native tongue. There is really something common about the cats, I will definitely let you know about that later. She is well fed, amiable and reserved female. Zack likes to bully her, like grabbing her from behind. Luckily, she has that part removed else I will be watching XXX rated scene in front of me! Occasionally she likes to rub my legs when I reach home in the evening. I still see her sometimes resting at the stairs and she still recognized me all these years. She purred affectionately whenever I stroked her. I think she has taken abode with one the kind folk of the block, hopefully.

To be continued.......

HOTA

Three Fridays ago, we were hearing on Friday sermons about the plight of Muslims who are suffering from organ failure. Sigh, while our hearts feel for them, we are also wandering why are they in such a pitiful state? Aren't we supposed to take care of our health? Isn't health is wealth?

What irks me to write this post is that Friday prayers are being used to advance government agenda. Three weeks ago, they, being the esteemed ustazs and imams, were talking about organ failure and donation and yesterday the news came out that we can be include d in HOTA. You know what it means, I have to opt out of HOTA if I don't want my body to be dismembered later. Is this correct? Friday sermons being used to advance government agenda.

If you want people to know about HOTA, they should let the state interferes in Islam. What we want to hear for Friday sermon is all about Islam, not some government agenda. We are seeing Friday sermons being used for political and personal agenda. That is terribly wrong.

Melayu Tipu, Melayu Ditipu

Stuck a raw nerve anywhere?

U bet cos a friend of mine called me up yesterday explaining that if I invest CPF money, I can get some kopi money. I called that daylight robbery. There are many cases out there. Let me tell you a story, let us called this service provider, S. S informed a potential customer, B that he can get around 200 to 300 if he invests his CPF. Sounds good? In actual fact, what S is trying to do is that he is trying to get his quota filled for the year. S's company will set him some objectives for the year. Assuming his quota is 100K, and he is is really short of time to make that target but he sure can make up by asking people to invest their CPF. Assuming B parted 6OK of his CPF to S's company and S gladly part him 600 quids for that who will be the winner in the long run?

S will make his quota for 100K and will be paid accordingly, will it be 600 quids? I doubts so, it will be many times that, plus the amount he earned now will be multiplied down the roads. Who is the loser? B, cos if S is not smart enough, any of portfolios that he sinks the money too will be going down the drain. As we know S is only a service provider, not someone who is money wise trained in the fine arts of money investments. Even a semi pro like me can make that small mistakes, how can S be trusted to make monies for B?

In the long run, S going to get his Mercs while B be probably riding his kapchai. There are many cases going on and still Melayu got smoked again and again by Melayu........and in the end we all Melayu lagi......

Quilt

Seems the quilts are expensive products? Can it be sustain?
I doubt so but worth pursuing later. Now we are exploring other items:

Quran for kids, basically I am searching for materials we can sell to the masses
for teaching their kids about the reading of Al Quran. Insya Allah, we will try
Wisma Indah and Haji Hashim area on Wednesday.

Quilt

Seems, I need to work all things my way. I am be going off to suntec this afternoon for a quest to find a quilt maker.

We need hand made, special, customized quilt. Hopefully I can spring something.

Quilt

We are in the midst of launching our first online business, quilt sales.

If you are interested in quilt, you can visit our online store. Unfortunately, the store is not ready yet. I am in the midst of selecting a service provider.

For this, I have yet to give a name, quilt-maker.com maybe?

I will approached a lady with wifey help, roping her products to be displayed on the net. We have a potential 1 billion customer, custom hand made quilt for the masses.

Marriage

I realized lately that many of my friends marriage didn't last, function or brewing trouble. It is true that every marriage will have its ups and downs, however it is compromise that moves the marriage along.

You will only know the person true colours only after you started to live with him or her.
Only then, you will know whether you have made the right decision, there is no such thing as a perfect partner, only emotional, tacky and insensible human being in front of you. Sometimes you need that that partner needs a good kick up up her or his ass, only to realized that it is not the solution.

I truly believe in compromise but sometimes you just need to tell the other party that something is not right. Sometimes, being silent helps.

For Kyn,Srichantique and Nina,

Do not despair and lost hope. That is very wrong. Tears won't solve your problems but your doa to HIM will be a starting point. Look inside yourself, see if there is any soul. Start to love yourself and tell yourself you need to be pampered too. Don't forget your LORD, never forget your prayers and when times are bad, open the Holy Book, the answers are there.

To my dear wife, do not be content with being yourself. Change your outlook and get out of your comfort zone. I did and things are changing slowly and surely for the better.

It has been a while

since I blog. To that, I am truly sorry. What can I say, I been extremely busy with work.
To be honest, I have taken extra resposibilities. Now I have appliances under my wings now.

And this morning, the boss called me to his room. Oh well, this be better be good news....
my sick mind was wandering, is he going to give the bye bye letter. Heheh, instead
he is giving me raise. That was totally unexpected.

Now I have realized the love of ALLAH, the Supreme Being. Everday I pray to HIM alone that my rezeki be increased and Alhamdullilah, my prayers were answered. In fact, many of my doa have been answered. At the same time, I feel guilty when I looked back to my darker years. I haven't been a good slave.......

For today, I am bringing the significant other half to a buffer dinner. I will dine her, wine her and am going to 69 her.....

Been busy lately

yeah that is life right, full of ups and downs. Noticed that i didn't blog for
a while. Not suprisingly, i decide to commit some time for it.

Past few months have been an emotional,physical and mental challenge. Not only
the soul got a really good kick for its spritual side. Realized many things
are missing in my life. Alhamdulillah, God still loves me. Despite, me, HIS supposedly
'good' slave, being astray for many times. I realized there are many things in life that I am
supposed to do the Islamic way. Isn't Islam the way of life?

Again, I am telling myself. Based on al Sunnah the Prophet Muhammad pbuh and the holy Quran, you will not be lost. Good thing, I am reading the Quran again.....the straight path and the light is on again........do not be lost in the world ways and forget HIM....
