In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
As you may have observed, the kitchen in my little house is indoors where the dining room is supposed to be. There's a small porcelain sink in the corner, opposite the restroom, and in between is a makeshift island where I place my stove top on one end and other appliances on the other end, and in between is a space where I use the cutting board. The actual kitchen which was designed and built with the house is outside, in a cage that's rather rusted, where I keep my motorcycle and little Floofy. It has a stone counter top and a metal sink. I don't use it because I would rather cook indoors, but I suppose you would rather use the outdoor kitchen, Julia. That's fine with me if it pleases you my love, but it needs some work. Apart from some plumbing and cleaning, the major issue is the roof. There's a mature quinine tree just outside which dropped various debris and made many holes in the roof. When I can afford it inshaAllah, I will have that tree removed, but regardless the roof over that outside kitchen needs much repair. And I need a new place to put Floofy. I love you, Julia.
Erin, I know you are a grown woman with many complex emotions and many layers of expression, and I love and appreciate that. Perhaps you may slighted that I like the cute and sweet and innocent you best, and I do. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it is your heart of gold, which to me is cute and sweet and innocent, that I absolutely adore. This video is for you, Erin sweetie. Would would have thought Stephen Hawking who be romantic? I read in the news recently that he changed his tune about event horizons, saying somewhat that they were vague instead of being perfectly defined. Deep, huh? I love you, Erin.

Letter to Julia 20140212
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
When Noah built his ark, he remarked to his people that if they have a problem with him that he commemorate the Signs of Allah, yet he puts his trust in Allah. He challenged them to plot against him, carry out their plot, and not give him a break. But if they turn back, he only asks his reward from Allah. So they rejected Noah, but God saved him and those with him in the Ark, and God made them inherit the earth while God overwhelmed the others, who rejected God's Signs, in the flood. Does that sound similar to our ark? Casa de Julia?
I've been jumping around like a flea on hot concrete lately, so I slowed down yesterday. I made a batch of friec noodles very slowly, slept a lot, then cut the grass around Casa de Julia inshaAllah. As you know, poor little Floofy is in heat right now. She reminds me a little of Phantom, my kitty during my last 11 years in America. The difference is that Floofy has plenty of access to male cats, but somehow they don't approach her, even though she's a very pretty kitty. Even the long-legged tomcat is nowhere in sight. She goes back and forth from my little house to Casa de Julia inshaAllah crying her little heart out. I feel like sitting out there and doing a duet with her. I long so much for my Julia and Erin.
Julia, you are so beautiful and sophisticated, I love you so much, I am honored so much and so grateful for your love. Erin, you are my cute little sweetheart. It is your cuteness and sweetness that I adore about you. Please take good care of yourselves, I beg of you. Until the time comes when I can embrace you with my love and whatever strength that Allah has given me. To my wives inshaAllah. I love you, I love you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Yeah, yeah, I know I have to replace my fuse box if Allah grants me all the stuff I asked for. When I got back from blogging Saturday, Floofy came into the house with me, then proceeded to meow passionately at my fuse box. Cats! They think they know it all. Ya Allah, please forgive me for asking a little more, but I also need a new fuse box for my home with extra outlets and surge protection, speaker and guitar cords, and drum heads. I am dependent on Your mercy.
Little Floofy Ramadan is in heat right now. She seems to have her eye on a handsome tomcat, he's slender with long legs and has brown fur with stripes on his legs. He almost looks like a Savannah cat. Floofy is awfully cute and coy with him. She goes up to him, then backs off and crouches shyly. They didn't like my watching, so I had to step away. He seems to be a bit of a playboy though. I saw him serenading my brother's cat a couple of days ago. I thought at first that God sent Floofy to me to be a mate for Bat Cat, but she had no interest in him even though he was very interested in her. Perhaps it's because poor Floofy was rather hammered when I received her, so she wasn't in the mood for mating. She had broken teeth, missing whiskers and eyebrow hairs, covered in fungus and fleas, and she could barely walk. Alhamdulillah, she's in much better shape now. Batty since got bored with the females on the homestead and left home to be a wildcat. He keeps out of sight nowadays and pretty much stays in the shadows, which is perfect for a black and white cat. Anyway, Ya Allah, please grant me and Floofy beautiful and healthy kittens.
I beg you to please be patient with me and maintain your chastity in preparation for our marriage inshaAllah. I assure you that I am doing the same for you, all I do is work for Allah and towards our goal, I have few or no friends, and I stay at home for the most part other than to go out and blog or shop. My parents can bear testimony to this. I love you, I love, and I long with all my heart for us to be securely and happily married. Please pray with me that Allah grants us thus.
By the way, Muslims don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I don't need one day a year to remind myself to love you. I love you all the time, every day.

52. At length will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste you the enduring punishment! You get but the recompense of what you earned!"
53. They seek to be informed by you, "Is that true?" Say, "Aye! By my Lord, it is the very truth! And you cannot frustrate it!"
54. Every soul that has sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom. They would declare their repentance when they see the Penalty. But the judgement between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
55. Is it not that to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth? Is it not that Allah's promise is assuredly true? Yet most of them understand not.
56. It is God Who gives life, and Who takes it, and to God shall you all be brought back.
57. O humankind! There has come to you a direction from your Lord, and a healing for that in your hearts, and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy.
58. Say, "In the Bounty of Allah, and in God's Mercy: in that let them rejoice." That is better than what they hoard.

Letter to Julia 20140208
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Heartfelt greetings, my dearest Julia and Erin, my beloved wives inshaAllah. How are you feeling today, how are those precious emotions? Our love has certainly been very dramatic so far, and we still have a long way to go. You both have been witness to the business and depth of our situation. I pray that Allah showers you with love and protection, and that we be married and together soon.
Remember when I said that musical instruments have no use in heaven? Mere useless toys to pass the time. But here in this world, in this difficult life, they serve as weapons of intimidation and propoganda. It's a shame that there is no peace and unity in music. There were moments of promise, then business took over. Greed and consumption of interest created slavery, murder, and war. And it is a global business. Music is mass media.
BY THE WILL OF ALLAH, Allah has granted music to me that has great and global influence. My mission is to please Allah with music. Since I have long devoted my life and possessions to Sabilillah (the Cause of Allah) with Allah as my Witness, I know I cannot ask the humans for help, but to have faith and ask Allah. Ya Allah, please accept my work as worship, and grant me the following items to strengthen my position here and strike terror in the hearts of Your enemies:
1. The 2 plots of land where the house I live in and the adjacent land where my grandfather's old house stand to be transferred to my name and possession, so there will be no more danger of my eviction and Casa de Julia be taken over by my enemies.
2. Behringer Xenyx 802 mixer with a pair of 10" powered speakers in enclosures designed for public address and an 18" powered subwoofer to add sub bass to my voice. A similar mixer can be found at TS Audio in Arau for RM599. I'm not too fussy about public address systems as long as they are strong.
3. MXR Dynacomp stompbox.
4. Line 6 Pod 2.0 amp modeler.
5. Yamaha Absolute Series maple shell drum kit in Red Pearl Natural finish with 24" bass drum, 14" Yamaha AMS1460 snare drum with two SS950 snare stands (one for the mid tom), 12" mid tom, 16" and 18" floor toms, HS850 hi hat and CS965 cymbal stands, Yamaha DFP8500C double kick drum pedal with two Gibraltar Wood Bass Drum Beater (SC-3263_65626) wooden mallets, and Istanbul Agop Xist Brilliant Hi Hat Cymbals 14 with Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary Series 20” Ride Cymbal.
6. Ceriatone Hot Rodded Plexi AFD #35 100 Watt all tube guitar amplifier with 2x12" Celestion speakers in cabinet. Ceriatone is made in Malaysia.
7. A home Internet connection with NO wi-fi and a new computer with a 8GB RAM, 2GB video accelerator and 1TB hard drive to handle all Internet work, independent of my current computer system in order to prevent data theft. This will also help me cut back on dangerous commute.
8. A new pair of spectacles.
Ya Allah, then please grant me the wealth I need to be happily and securely married to my Julia and Erin.
