In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Bobby-Wobby's voice has broken!  He has a REAL meow now, and he doesn't squeak like a kitten like the others.  What a macho cat.  **sob**  My Bobby-Wobby has grown up!  He's a big boy now.  No, he's a MAN.  I mean, cat.  My kittens are 3 and a half months old now, and they are beautiful and healthy.  Alhamdulillah.

I had never eaten snails before.  Out there in the mud of the Perlis coast lives a snail which the locals call "belitong".  I was at the market this morning, and got myself a red snapper, and I picked up a kilo of these snails.  When I got home, I showed one to my Mom, and she said "Yes, it looks like garden snail."  I asked her how these things are usually cooked.  She told me to clean them up, and fry up a sauce of blended onions, garlic, ginger and peppers.  The snails are cone shaped, and the tips have to be snipped off so the meat can be sucked and slurped out of the shell.  This is where Iron Chef misled me, because I thought these snails would be like escargot and generate broth, so I made the sauce light in flavor.  I told my Mom that these snails didn't make any broth and she said "Yes, they don't make any broth."  Now she tells me.  She also told me that they won't keep past a day, so I refried them for dinner with a stronger sauce.  I think that snails taste thicker than shellfish.  Also, it was hard for me to tell if a snail was dead when I prepped them, and there were so many of them, so when I came across a dead snail when I ate, I slurped up a solid helping of coastal mud.  Gag!  Next time I'll be more meticulous.  I was snailed out by the end of the night.  Seemed like more than a kilo, though.

Julia, the world is going bonkers over your 30th birthday.  They're making me feel like a sleazebag, because all I can afford is to post a cheesy virtual card and a video.  I'm so very sorry for being poor, please forgive me.  It seems to me that your 30th birthday has lasted a whole month so far.  Well, I need to balance out my TV station because I have more videos of Erin over Julia, so starting Sunday I will be searching the Internet for more of your videos.  Please have the videos you don't want me to see removed.  I hate bad news, and I hate lies.

Erin, you are such a sweetheart!  You have such a kind heart.  People talk to you and think, "She's so sweet, she must be hiding something."  They don't appreciate what a heart of gold you have, and take your goodness for granted.  Well, I appreciate how sweet you are, you beautiful little treasure you.  Just remember that it gets lonely at the top but don't worry, I'll marry you and keep you close to me.  InshaAllah.  You are not alone.  Please don't forget I have to marry Julia first.

Julia and Erin, you are my wives.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Ugh... I still don't feel good.  I'm so dizzy and nauseous, I have stomach cramps, and my chest is so congested it almost feels like... pneumonia.  It's going away, slowly.  InshaAllah.  I just want to lie around and watch TV.

Sorry to moan about my sickness.  I bought some assorted crabs at the night market Monday.   Crab here is frustratingly small although plentiful, but not small enough to fry whole.  So I decided to take a different approach.  Most of the meat is in the body, so I separated the bodies and put them in the cooler.  I'm thinking crab nuggets rolled in hot wing sauce.  What do you think?  Which leaves the legs and claws, so I squeezed out the meat with a rolling pin.  There's quite a lot of meat if you're patient enough to extract it.  Looks like it's stuffed won tons with crab tomorrow.  Want some?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141029

65.  Say, "None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden.  Nor can they perceive when they shall be raised up."

66.  Still less can their knowledge comprehend the Hereafter.  No, they are in doubt and uncertainty thereat.  No, they are blind thereunto!

67.  The unbelievers say, "What!  When we become dust, we and our fathers, shall we really be raised?"

68.  "It is true we were promised this, we and our fathers before.  These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

69.  Say, "Go you through the earth, and see what has been the end of those guilty."

70.  But grieve not over them, nor distress yourself because of their plots.

71.  They also say, "When is this promise, if you are truthful?"

72.  Say, "It may be that some of the events which you wish to hasten may be in your pursuit!"

73.  But verily your Lord is full of grace to humans, yet most of them are ungrateful.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago that you, the both of you, were growing taller.  And taller.  And taller.  Until you were towering over all the other models.  Erin, I saw your interview with Dan Patrick, but I don't think my dream has anything to do with that.

I have been ill.  I guess all that driving around in the rain finally got to me, but it couldn't be helped because I had love letters to send.  This time the Flu Virus Collective targeted the roof of my mouth, for a two-pronged attack on both my nose and voice.  I believe the primary target was my voice, because it usually is.  This time I was bombarded with a massive amount of sinus fluid, more than ever before.  That stuff must not go down my throat, so I sat on the floor and let it drip into a small bucket.  Yeah it's gross, but you don't have to watch.  My Boss is Allah, not some corporate or government entity, so I have I have to fight to sing if necessary, and not use some lame excuse to take a day off.  I managed to avoid infection of my voice alhamdulillah, but my nose is half of my singing.  You try to say "Mmmmm" with a runny nose.  I was able to finish the 2 hours of voice training today, but right after I felt so sick that I thought I was going to be bed ridden.  But I managed to shake it off, and made some dough and paté.  I'm feverish as I write this letter.

Of course I forgive you Julia.  I don't expect you to give up your lap of luxury to be with me in the trenches of the front line.  You're not a soldier.  The Qur'an says that whoever cannot afford to marry must keep themselves chaste and wait until Allah provides them with the means.  That was my first choice to begin with, but when you present me with "Now or Never", I'm going to choose "Now".  I was serious when I said I would wait for you no matter how old you get.  As long as you are chaste and faithful.  The same goes to you, Erin.

Julia and Erin, you are my wives.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

61.  Or, who has made the earth firm to live in, made rivers in its midst, set thereon mountains immovable, and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water?  God besides Allah?  No, most of them know not.

62.  Or, who listens to the distressed when it calls on God, who relieves its suffering, and makes you inheritors of the earth?  God besides Allah?  Little it is that you heed!

63.  Or, who guides you through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before God's mercy?  God besides Allah?  High is Allah above what they associate with God!

64.  Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth?  God besides Allah?  Say, "Bring forth your argument, if you are telling the truth!"

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Thank you for your love.  However, I didn't and couldn't have made you love me.  Why would someone as beautiful and ravishing as you have taken a second glance at an old, destitute musician like me?  God is the One Who put love in your heart.  If my promise of marriage to you brought you financial and business gain, then God was the One Who did that.  If our love brought strange and wonderful occurences into your life, then God was the One Who did that.  If our love gave you more political clout, then God was the One Who did that.  I am only a servant of God.

Thank you for your love.  I love you sincerely my beautiful beloved Julia, and I need you.  If you choose to marry me now and make the sacrifice to journey and stay here with me in my little house, you would be having faith that God will make our lives better and happier.  So our love is only part of the reason.  You are doing this for the sake of Allah.  So when you embark, please take all necessary precautions as per your position as Mrs. Global: use a German carrier.  Make sure you voice your in your heart, "I hereby make this journey of marriage for the sake of Allah."  Again, please make sure you have the intention in your heart to make the journey to marry me for the sake of Allah.  Look towards the Afterlife, for that is how much time I pray to be with you, and how sacred our marriage is.

Hey Erin, you beautiful and wonderful girl.  Are you having a great time?  It's almost time for the VS fashion show, so you must be busy.  I can't wait to see how gorgeous you are.  Please take good loving care of yourself.  I love you, and I need you.  Thank you for your love.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello again, my most beautiful Julia and Erin.  How are my beloved wives today?  How are you feeling, my dearest hearts?  Doesn't it feel like something is about to explode?  Can you feel the electricity in the air?  Are you excited?  Are you?  Are you?  Well, please be patent try to stay calm.  Just do the same old same old, and put your trust in Allah.  You are MY girls.  MINE, MINE.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

This morning I went to the main market downtown to pick up some tofu and won ton skins.  I love stuffed won tons.  Today the stuffing is fish balls, tofu, chives, garlic, and black pepper.  I found a way to maximize the stuffing for my won  tons, is to go heavy on the tofu.  I don't like the flavor of fried tofu, but if it's inside a won ton then the tofu isn't affected by the oil.  Too much tofu makes the skin chewy though, so you have to strike a balance somewhere.  Stuffed won tons are girly food and I need a man-sized portion, so I had to eat 29 won tons to be satisfied.  Want some?  Oh sorry, I ate them all.

Yeah, it's almost November.  I remember when I was about 20 something, I said to myself and a crony or two that I would quit music if I hadn't made it big by the age of 30.  Well obviously I didn't quit, but I was firmly convinced back then, and even a little bit now, that Rock and Roll is a young man's game.  But you know, I did make it big by 30, I just wasn't aware of the magnitude of it all, how big so to say.  The problem was, and is, I wasn't wealthy.  But materialism isn't a musical game.  It's a different arena altogether, with different realities.  It may even be global thermonuclear war.  After all, the humans still haven't given up their consumption of interest.

Love wasn't disappointing either.  I had lots of love, I just didn't know what to do with it.  Even when I turned 40, the disappointments were always replaced with something better.  You were watching back then, right?  Then God said to me (when I read the Qur'an), "Marry her!"  Ah!  That's what I'm supposed to do!  It's never easy, especially when you try to be a good person.  In Islam it's supposed to be the man's job to provide for the wife.  Of course there are exceptions to the rule: the Prophet (peace be upon him) was an exception, but he's the Prophet (peace be upon him).  I'm just a normal person.  I'm so average.  I want you to have the best of this life and the afterlife, because I love you, I love you.  If you had the nerve to marry me now beautiful Julia, we would live off what I'm living off now, with the faith that Allah would better our position.  It's still a position in the Public Eye, so the crowd would be laughing their asses off watching our struggle.  Sometimes I really despise the human race.  But I'm human too.  I want you now, but I want you to be happy with me.  So whatever you do is an act of faith, and is a direct communication between you and God.  Do you have faith?  And if God loves you, when you make a mistake then God will punish you quickly instead of slowly.

Erin!  Cutie Pie!  You must be blessed not to have to deal with this situation.  Then again, it may not be a blessing.  You need to ask God that yourself.  I want you both as my wives.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

I had to give little Bat Cat a solid jab with my big toe this morning.  I didn't kick him, I just jabbed him with my big toe.  I was trying to mop the kitchen floor, and he wanted to play the pee game with me.  Not on my kitchen floor!!  But even after I shoved him away with my big toe, he persisted on playing the pee game.  Batty, currently in his 3rd life, is always the first to get into mischief.  So I slopped the mop real close to him.  Then of course the other kittens joined the pee game.  This is the first time I used physical punishment with my kittens, and I felt bad about it.  But I didn't kick him, I just jabbed him with my big toe.  I'm glad all those fleas are gone, though.  What use is a kitten if it can't be snuggled?

You are probably much better at being nice to the youngsters, and others in general, than me, that's why you're the better half.  I hate young boys but I have to be nice to them, and of course I have to make an extra effort with my own kids.  So I'm glad you're so sweet to others, because you make up for me.  The Prophet (peace be on him) became nicer and sweeter to others as he aged, no matter what happened to him.  Even to his enemies.  God had to command him to fight.  I guess we need to be like that.  I glad you're already like that.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141018

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

213.  So call not on any other god with Allah, or you will be among those under the Penalty.

214.  And admonish your nearest kinsmen.

215.  And lower your wing to the believers who follow you.

216.  Then if they disobey you say, "I am free from what you do!"

217.  And put your trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello there, my dearest wives, Julia and Erin.  How was your week?  How are you feeling?  I pray that you are both feeling great, healthy and confident.  I couldn't be as isolated as I wanted, because there was always something to do, plus I had to go shopping.  I have a lot of beef in my cooler, but one can't just eat steak all the time.  The grass cutter was out, so I changed the spark plug.  I couldn't cut grass all that while, so I did some burning instead at Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  There were more felled trees there than I anticipated, plus I have to chop down more.  This morning I made a batch of dough, and it looks like beef and potato curry is coming up soon.  I made some Korean style pickled beef and it's marinading in the cooler.  It takes 2 weeks to be ready.  I try to stay within budget, but there's always some some of need or mundane crisis.  The flea shampoo I bought is bunk and my kittens were getting overwhelmed with fleas, so I had to buy the drop type of medication.  I'm out of eggs and onions but I can't spend again until next Tuesday, so I'm going to have to make my noodles with something else.

Death, blood and misery may be great and more entertaining for the crowd, but I find the mundane to be much more romantic.  I wish you were here with me to share my isolation.  I want the wealth to give you a good married life and buy musical instruments, but I'm trying to live a spiritual life, and that can't be done by being wholly materialistic.  I have to trust in Allah to supply me the material things I need while I work my spiritual agenda of pleasing Allah with music.  InshaAllah, I will also be given protection and happiness.  We as a family must keep our hearts free from the corruption of materialism, because it's so important to show that it can be done.  Islam doesn't forbid being wealthy, but wealth must handled with righteousness.  Like in the movie "Wall Street" was said, "Money makes you do things you don't want to do."  This may sound like an excuse to you, but it's not.  It's a different reality.

I have faith that Allah will help us and improve our condition.  Do you?  I want to give you the best and happiest married life, because I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.  Please join me in Islam.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

It's almost November.  You know Julia, the choice is yours.  I've already made my choice, my decision.  My decision is you, and now I must stick to my choice.  We are not in the same position.  I love you terribly, but I must stick to my guns, be a man so to speak, and be sure I can give you the best married life, so I cannot force you to marry into my poverty.  I would wait for you no matter how old you get, so I don't want you to be concerned about my loyalty.  But you have sight and intelligence, so you know that.

That being said, I want you to marry me NOW, Julia.  Come and knock on my door, meet me face to face, and NOW will begin.  If you agree to marry me NOW as opposed to waiting until I have sufficient wealth, then you submit to my agenda of building a tourist attraction here, suffering the same living conditions as me, and being my wife.  May Allah reward you for your sacrifice.  Sounds reckless, huh?  I'm an all-out abandon kind of guy.  But it's not so bad.  I have a roof over my head even though I sleep on the floor, the music is powerful mashaAllah so our living conditions will improve inshaAllah, and I'm confident that at least I can feed you well.  Dinner tonight is eggplant stuffed with steak and tofu, so come on over.  Julia, I love you.  And I need you.

Hi Erin.  I love you too.  And I need you.  This is my week of isolation, so you won't here from me again for another week.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

My kittens were getting too fat, so I decided to cut back on their food, and set 2 feeding times: once at dawn, and again at 4 pm.  Another big reason I did so is because my mop, the litter box and I couldn't keep up with them.  Plus, they seemed to have tummy problems.  It seems to be working.  The poop looks nice and dark and solid, and there's a lot less of it too.  Now, nothing kills the scent of poopy scents like bleach water, but the little brats have identified bleach with toilet, and now wherever I mop is a place for them to potty.  They like to play pee games: whenever I mop, they instantly come over to pee.  As a gang.  One at a time.  So I have to mop 5 times at a time.

I've been really into tofu lately, and it's healthy food, too.  It's great for making stuffing for my won tons.  For dinner, it's shredded steak sprinkled over a block of soft tofu swimming in eggplant hummus, to enjoy with a big, fat loaf of flat bread.  You must join me for dinner.

Erin, I hate to say this because I don't want to hurt your feelings, but please do not get any plastic surgery.  Please stop and stay where you are, and age naturally and gracefully.  You are so beautiful, so please don't change.  You too, Julia.  You are so beautiful.  Please don't change.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hello my most beautiful Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling, you wonderful, wonderful women?  Oh dear, it's October already.  How time flies.  I didn't date that last letter properly.  Sigh.  I'm feeling quite tired right now.  I just got done playing guitar, and before that I spent the evening cutting grass around Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  It had been raining every day again, at times very heavily.  But the water seems to drain off quickly.  Quicker than it did 5 years ago.  I still have a lot of grass cutting to do, then I can start breaking down that tree I chopped down.  I spent the whole morning in the kitchen, just doing prep work.  I made dough, then my sardine dip, I received some beef so I portioned that out, then I made my lunch, which was noodles.  For dinner, it was bread and steak.  I'm tired.  I'm going to relax and watch TV.  I pray you both are feeling great, and taking and having it easy.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

The world is a small town.  No, I'm not making a reference to the kampung I'm living in, nor am I making a statement about how modern travel and communications have made the world smaller.  I'm actually talking about the fractal nature of oppression.  I'm not in a particularly strange mood.  I just happened to watch TV, and "Fractals and the Art of Roughness" was followed by the Kennedy assassination, while I was studying about the Pharoah in the Qur'an.

You've heard of the expression, "big fish in a small pond", right?  So if many small ponds joined together, there would still be only one big fish, or one dominant fish.  This is basic politics, but let's not talk about fair or ideal politics.  Pharoah would resort to anything to maintain power, and would eliminate the strong who would oppose him, and also the creative, because the creative would find a way to attain power.  This is what I'm talking about: not the structure of oppression, but the structure of the actions of oppression.

Since the strong and the creative are eliminated, what's left is the same old Pharoah, using the same techniques over and over again.  And so would his minions use the same methods over and over again.  For example, any thug can put on a black sheet up to the covering of his face, and be in a video of an execution.  This is the same action as producing the video, and financing the video, except that the higher ranking officers wouldn't bother getting their hands dirty.  Smaller sprigs of the same cauliflower blossom, of many blossoms before.  It means that they are not who they say they are, or what they claim they represent.  Why, do you think they would be honest with you?  What's the likelihood of that?  The point is that reality shows have been on for a very long time already, probably hundreds or thousands of years, using the same old dirty tricks.  Scripted reality.

Me?  I am a servant of Allah.  I serve Allah, and I have no more power than what Allah grants me.  Allah is the Power.  If I had any real power, then I would already be able to finance our marriage.  But Allah is the Most Superior in Planning and Resources.  No One can put on a show like Allah.  I put my trust in Allah.  Allah can make their plans backfire.  And even though one Pharoah is replaced by another, I also have faith in Judgement Day.

I'm sorry about this odd love letter.  You are my wives, and I love you, I love you with all my heart.  And I need you, I need you.  Please take gentle loving care of yourselves in my absence, and please maintain your prayers.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Julia, please allow me to say Happy Anniversary to Erin.

Happy 1st Anniversary, Erin darling.  Yeah, it's been a year since I proposed to you.  I pray that it's been a wonderful year for you, and I absolutely intend to keep my commitment to you.  I am your husband inshaAllah, and you are not alone.  You are not just you anymore, you are me as well.  And you are loved.

Please understand and accept that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, settle down, and raise a family.  No more travel.  Yeah, I saw that video where you said you "will go where you can use your body".  I'll help you use your body.  Ahem.  How about a fruit plantation?  Or jumbo shrimp aquaculture?  You can do the labor, I will eat jumbo shrimp.  Or house cleaning?

I'm just kidding, you naughty thing you.  You're such a cutie, Erin!  Of course I'll help with the house cleaning, and we'll get a maid inshaAllah.  You can always have your friends visit.  Just remember that this is a Muslim family and area, and we will live in the Public Eye Mrs. Global, so please try not to start any global conflicts.  Of course we can have vacations, perhaps once every 2 years during off-peak seasons, as I'm building a tourist attraction here.  I'll go where you go, so please plan the vacations meticulously, so you don't get us all assassinated OK?  Julia gets the first vacation, because she is the Boss Wife.  So get all your travel kicks now, before you marry.  I anticipate you will at least have a few more years before Last Call.  You're still young, so you can enjoy travel.  I'm an old man.  I've already done a lot of traveling.  My feet hurt.

I pray that Allah will grant you much happiness and business success out of my commitment of marriage to you.  Please give thanks to Allah, and maintain your prayers.  You are so very beautiful Erin, and I look forward to seeing you at the next VS fashion show.  I love you, and I need you.

Julia, I love you, and I need you.  I will be fasting on Saturday October 4 inshaAllah, and I strongly recommend that you both fast too.  State in your heart the intention to fast for the sake of Allah the day before.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

As you may have noticed, I chopped down one of the taller trees that was growing on top of the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I had to stand on a ladder to chop it down, but it was leaning over the old house, so I guessed if I stayed behind it, it would fall away from me.  It fell on top of the roof, but I was able to push it down onto the ground today with my left hand while on the ladder.  Alhamdulillah!  Trees are heavy objects.  You should try chopping one down.

I've been having a craving for good old chicken wings, so I bought some chicken wings, chicken breast and liver at the night market Monday.  Last night I downed a whole kilo of wings.  I forgot to make ranch dressing, but it didn't matter.  They went down fast.  I also made some chicken liver paté with onions and basil for my morning bread.  It was a success, but next down I'm going to chop everything as finely as possible.  Paté is great because you can eat it cold.  Wow, maybe I'll try some mackerel liver paté next.

I'm sure you both are very busy nowadays, so please make sure you eat properly, and get plenty of rest.  There's nothing like a lot of beauty sleep.  I want you to know that I always think of you, and I always pray for you, and that Allah will bring us together in marriage soon, and keep us together in love, security and happiness in this life as well as the Hereafter.  Please know that you are loved very much.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141002

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

71.  And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with a conversion-

72.  Those who witness no falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass it with honor;

73.  Those who, when they are admonished with the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;

74.  And those who pray, "Our Lord!  Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."

75.  These are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein they shall be met with salutations and peace,

76.  Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode and a place of rest!

77.  Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."
