YOOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEE!!!
Well, there it is. You have to make a decision. And I can't make the decision for you, because it would be unfair to you. My position is: yes or no, I am here to love you, to be with you, to marry you, to take good care of you, to help protect you, to help you raise our children. InshaAllah.
Please don't forget that once married inshaAllah, you cannot travel at the spur of the moment. You can conduct business as you will, but all travel must be arranged far, far ahead. This is because I won't allow you to travel alone. I must accompany you, and therefore suspend all my business here, and I'm trying to build a tourist attraction. Good thing there's the Internet. That's all I've been using since 1998, and nowadays I don't even have a cell phone.
I also have to perform my Hajj obligation in my lifetime, which is at least a 2 week commitment assuming I acquire VIP status. This is not a romantic getaway: it is hard work. Of course I pray to be able to fulfill this workload while I'm still somewhat strong, so I don't die. If you choose to perform the Hajj, it is between you and God, and even if I were to accompany you, we would get separated. It is after all, spiritual.
Otherwise, I have absolutely no intention of being separated from you. We do everything and go everywhere together. We are family. I will wait for you, no matter how long you take to put on your makeup. Well, I might nag you to hurry up, or get a new hobby like doing you hair and makeup for you.

You're probably wondering why the big ships don't stop by the seaport of Kuala Perlis. You know, I showed you some photos a while ago of the place? My Dad told me that there's a lot of sediment between Langkawi and Perlis. Sometimes they trawl that sediment to make way for some of the medium ships, but the really big ships have to go around Langkawi. Well, if they want to make a major Muslim-friendly seaport between Langkawi and Perlis, I'm sure they'll find a way. Just don't waste that sediment, because there's a lot of food in there. No oil tankers, please!
It's been nigh over 4 years since I proposed to you. Yeah, I'm still too broke to marry you, so I thank you for your love and patience with me. But I'm sure you have been immersed in the power of the music that Allah has given me mashaAllah, even though the bucks haven't come my way yet, but I'm pretty sure that Allah is sending some over to you. Sigh. I can't ignore my obligation to make sure you don't marry into my poverty. I am sworn to your well-being. I am very unhappy to be without you, but I assure you of my commitment for marriage. A pretty blonde is my greatest weakness anyway, and there are none in Perlis. You would be the only blonde in Perlis when you marry me inshaAllah, unless you invite your friends. Allah is testing you as well as me, so please be a good girl. We are as it is, dependent on each other.

I finally managed to get that tree off the roof of the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah! WOO HOO! WOO HOO! WOO HOO! WOO HOO! I just wanna to start singing! Juuuuuuuliaaaaa... Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuliiiaaaaa... I had to cut the tree in half, then pull the top branches off before I could pull the trunk down. A tree is a very heavy thing, Julia. But it's down, finally. Alhamdulillah. Now to chop it into small pieces to burn it. I'll keep the main trunk intact, though. It'll be useful for discouraging unwanted vehicles from entering the driveway.
Please don't forget that as my girl, you are also a professional endorser of food products. This can't be helped, because as long as you are my girl inshaAllah, people are going to go bonkers over what you eat and what food products you buy. So please make a habit of going to your favorite restaurants with your buddies and enjoying your favorite foods, and please keep it halal. Put your fear in the right place: fear Allah, not the humans.

5:4 They ask you what is lawful to them. Say, "Lawful unto are things good and pure, and what you have taught your trained hunting animals, in the manner directed by Allah. Eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it. And fear Allah, for Allah is swift in taking account."

Letter to Julia 20130923
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello Julia my love, my darling, my sweetheart. How are you feeling today, my precious Princess? You are MY girl, the most beautiful girl in the world, you are all I could ever dream of in a girl, and I love you so much, my dearest Julia. It's been a busy day as usual for me. I started my day by cleaning my parents' bedroom and bathroom, gutted some fish for Batty, cooked up some lunch for me, took a nap before voice training so I don't put myself into a coma, then cut grass until sunset, and ate out for dinner to then come back and do laundry. I love home and family, but I have to admit I don't like house cleaning. We're going to have to get a maid for that, inshaAllah. Especially if I have to do more studio work. I think I'll do some right now. Slowly, of course.

176. They ask you for a legal decision. Say, "Allah directs about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance. If a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance. If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the male having twice the share of the female. Thus does Allah make clear to you, lest you err. And Allah has knowledge of all things."

YOOOOOOOLIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Julia, my beloved! I'm sorry I couldn't come in and blog for 3 days- it was unsafe to travel, so I was confined to the kampung. But I posted Thursday's letter for you to read, if you want to.
Ugh, I hate politics. I did vote, but it wasn't a blessing for me. I was just trying to do my responsibility. I don't really want to be affiliated with any party but I will vote, but above all that, my responsibility is to Allah. If the people turn to Allah, then perhaps Allah would be pleased with my work.
