In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, beautiful Julia. My love. How are you feeling? I'm so tired. It's Sunday night, and Sundays are my busy days. Non-stop work from the minute I wake up until I pass out at night. Plus, I'm fasting. What's on the menu for the pre-dawn repast? In the cooler are eggplants, chilli peppers, ketchup, chicken breast and a bag of noodles. I guess it's going to be noodles in spicy eggplant marinara. What's cooking on your stove? Did you know that I love German food? Herring, sauerkraut, those little boil-in-the-bag potato dumplings. We need to figure out how to make a halal sausage. We could be billionaires if we get it right! Because there is no such thing as a halal sausage. The problem is the casing: the stuffing is not an issue, because veal is exactly like pork in flavor and texture, or we can use the right blend of beef parts. But the casing... what can be a halal substitute for pork intestine?
Oh wait a minute... I'm too lazy to run a food service industry. I just want to snuggle and make love to my Julia. Being a rock star already takes up all my energy, don't they realize that? Do they think it's easy? Let someone else be the billionaires, we'll just collect royalties.
I do love you, Julia. Let time be your proof. And I'm not going to to tell you to hurry up either, even though my feet hurt.

Hi Julia! Are you having fun yet? I'm not blonde, so it's all pretty serious to me, even though I seem daffy at times. Judgement Day is a very serious matter, and to all of you, don't make your business of having fun and your business business supercede the Business of God. I do enjoy the fasting month though, much more than the Eid. I had a craving for sambal tumis petai to go with my rice and chicken for breaking fast, so I went to one of the stalls as the crossroads during rush hour on Friday. Yeah, they had some of the stuff, but somehow I got caught up in yakking (even though I'm not much of a yakker) that I didn't look closely at what I was getting. It turns out they made it with the petai having the skins on. Sigh. Shows you how much I know. I do prefer my sambal tumis petai served without the skins, though.
By the way, mosquitoes are very dangerous here in Malaysia, especially the black and white striped ones, which like to appear outdoors right before sunset. They like to breed in still water, even a bucket full is enough for their larvae. Please don't let any of those buggers touch your beautiful skin.

Hello there, Julia. You are my beautiful young precious princess, I love you with all my heart, and I want to marry you. I pray you are feeling well and confident. You must be very busy, and there must be a lot of people around you right now. Please make room for them if you are asked to make room. Make Allah grant you a great mood. Don't let the boasting and strutting around of skeptics and unbelievers ruin your good mood. They are just passing the time until they get their butts kicked by God, and we are just waiting to watch. If we care enough to observe, that is.

Hi precious young Julia! How are you coping today? You must be working hard. I haven't much to say today except that people who claim to believe in God have no power over the Grace of God, and that Grace is bestowed by God to whomever God wills.

YOOOOOOOLIIIIEEEEE!
You know my love, God has been kind to us in that we were not exposed to the crowd as children. Alhamdulillah. But the pressure of the public eye is hard on you still, my beloved. Oh Julia, you poor sweetheart. I love you and I want to nurture you. Please be with me, and I will distract them away from you. Don't speak to them. Don't negotiate with them. Don't explain anything to them. Just be silent and mysterious. Bloodthirsty the crowd may be, in order to be humble then we must be part of the crowd as well. Let's be part of the crowd that goes to heaven, and be strong enough to resist the selfish and violent mass. InsyaAllah.

Hey Julia. My dearest love. The nights are still hot right now. But I do so love the fasting month, more than I like the Eid. I would like to tell you about my family. My Dad is/was one of the first private lawyers in Perlis. My Mom is a retired teacher. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. I'm the recluse of the family. Perlis is the home state of my mother, so she is the one with the deepest roots here. More?
I've been analyzing these Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows, and I've figured out who your main rival for the position of Boss Model is. I'm all for you! My Julia! Go Julia! Everyone send in your vote for Julia to be Boss Model at Victoria's Secret right now!
Oh yes, I need to remind you to please keep measurements and scales to fit your comfort when designing a home. Like doorways, table tops, kitchen counters, cabinets, drawers, toilet seats, etc should all be made to fit your height. I'm sorry my dearest, I love you with all my heart, but I don't have a house plan yet. I can't draw, and so many wacky, I mean strange things are happening to me right now, I have to pay attention in order to react properly. Don't worry my love, my primary concern is for your happiness, and I actually like to sleep on the floor. Also don't forget to add a huge dose of patience to whatever you're doing around here. After all, you are Mrs. Global.
P.S. Thank you for your love.

Qur'an 20120730
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
61. But Allah will deliver the righteous to their place of salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve.
62. Allah is the Creator of all things, and God is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.
63. To God belong the keys of the heavens and the earth, and those who reject the Signs of Allah- it is they who will be in loss.
64. Say, "Is it someone other than Allah that you order me to worship, O you ignorant ones?"
65. But it has already been revealed to you, as it was to those before you, if you were to falsely worship, truly fruitless will be your work, and you will surely be in the ranks of those who lose.
Crowds 39:61-65

Is it someone other than Allah that you order me to worship, O you ignorant ones?
I would like to thank Allah for the Qur'an, the music, for all the knowledge and bounty, for being my Saviour and my only Friend during the times of darkest danger.
I would like to thank the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for being my leader, and distracting others from paying too much attention to me.
I would like to thank Julia for her love.
I would like to thank my parents for their love and patience.
I would like to thank my friends and family and the righteous people at the masjid.
