cow, cows, condo, cawri (part 2)

i cannot but wonder of how many UMNO delegates would be brave enough to say to puan shah-zat in the upcoming UMNO GENERAL ASSEMBLY:- CHE ZAT, WHY YOU DO NOT SHARE WE WANT TO REAR COWS AND BUY CONDOS TOO, LET US DISCUSS OK, CAN GET FROM NEXT YEARS BUDGET. NANTI KITA calling-calling,OK?

i have now reached page 114 of dr jomos memoirs of encik mustapha hussain, titled MALAY NATIONALISM BEFORE UMNO. great reading so far, i hasten to judge it the best book in english about malaysia that i have read to date. would definitely recommend it to all, including especially UMNO members. will update regularly

a malay wedding

the average malay wedding has come a long way:-
where previously,
1. elders were seated at the main table, it is not unusual now to have a dato titled guest as the VIP, there being so many dato's now that it would not be difficult to get 1 to attend .
2. the venue would be chock a block with vehicles, now one can always round up a few RELA guys with the promise of an allowance.
3. you just have a sombre doa selamat, now you have at least a passable PA system.
4.door gifts of an egg in a very simple manila card holder, now they are replaced by a few titbits in a gift bag.
5. the food would always never escape being the topic of conversation thereafter and would in most instances be quite delicious.

energy transfer

i think i got it figured out now, the way to go is walk as much as possible, transfer the strain energy generated by walking to the muscles in the leg first, then to the hand, this energy will in turn wakeup and allow the muscles to generate movements to the extremities of both limbs, overtime , the muscles should be primed, thereafter it would be a matter of repetition so as to allow the muscles and the brain to coordinate harmoniuosly, thus closing the loop in the mind and body that would, inshaallah, generate the automaticity in the limbs, hence , it is going to be a long journey, so beltup, maybe 2 more years. so forget about bomohs and doctors and tukang urut would be just to ease the pain, supplication to ALLAH would be the main focus, aided by supplements. inshaallah

the property conspiracy part 1

it all started with the mamak's multimedia super corridor

the MSC property conspiracy

impatience

the lack of patience was my achillies heel, either impatient with my first employer, petronas, or in executing my projects when i was a contractor, or in my personal life. all these acts of impatience was to cost me dearly. thus my current education in patience is very timely and would be the best for me. as in every learning, it is painful, but i must see the trees beyond the forest and look at the light beyond the horizon, alhamdulillah
every day, i am still plodding on in my stroke recovery effort.walking in my compound and house, just ignoring the muscle pain and pushing as hard as i can. certain days despair sets in, then it is time to vary my walking route in the believe that change will offset the boredom and despair. i cannot give up, must continue my established routine till either i suffer some debilitating injury, die or inshaallah more recovery.
alhamdulillah, my walking effort now seems easier and there are some minor stirrings in my affected leg. again, patience seems the key. i am now utterly convinced that this stroke is a gift from ALLAH in teaching me patience. i must have been a very very impatient person before this necessitating allah interference towards building me into a better person. alhamdulillah. i can now see the virtues of patience. it is a much more valuable weapon than a nuclear bomb.prestroke, i was in the construction industry for ten years, where speed is the essence and i was prone to be proud of how many pipes i can lay a day. so, learning and accepting the virtues of patience is very very hard the slow lumbering ways of the kampung folks, although extremely frustrating, has an upside. these folks know patience or has patience afflicts them due to their station??. since young, the saying that patience is half of faith, has been reverberating within my sphere. only now can i truly understand it's significance thus, patience is now my weapon.i must learn and grasp it .
