Letter to Erin 20150907

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

Well, you have to be somewhat of an actor in order to sing well.  But I don't know if what I do is acting.  The need for emotional connection is too important, plus there's too much reality involved to make it fiction.  MashaAllah.  Art is life, and life is art.  Which is yet another reason why I try to write music slowly.  Besides my being a lazy slob.

I'm sorry but I don't feel very talkative today.  The air conditioner crisis gave me the sniffles, compounded by rain last night, so I had to drain my sinus cavity yet again.  ** sniffle**  Since my singing improved, I became more sensitive to climate change.  If you're planning to manipulate me into doing more travel than I want to, it might backfire on you.  You might make me too sick to work, or dead.  No, I'm not going to allow you all to travel alone.  This is because I love you, and I need you.

Football season already?  I'm sorry I'm not a sports fan.  I've never chased after athletes, and athletes don't chase after me.  That makes you the sports fan of the family, plus you used to be an athlete.  That's why all the sports businesses chase after you, because you are the only link into the music that they have.  Make sure you charge them an arm and a leg, OK?  No freebies!

The remote control of my AC died gradually.  Now my AC is on all the time, and I have to rely on the on board computer chip to regulate the temperature in my bedroom because I don't dare shut it off, because I may not be able to turn it back on again.  I hate hot weather.  I wouldn't mind living in Alaska, like in "Northern Exposure".  But I love the kampung, and my AC still works.  Alhamdulillah.

Are you aware that most people have to put up a facade in order to function in society?  I'm sure you know that.  Many actors and politicians function that way.  Always putting up an act.  But who are we to condemn them?  Allah knows who is pure at heart, not us.  See the woman with a million faces, which one is the pure heart?  Sincerity may be first and second nature for you and me, but not for most others.  We do have that in common, don't we?  I love you, and I need you.  As an actress, you may have to act by channeling as opposed to analysis.

Qur'an 20150906

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

23.  Say, "It is God Who has created you, and made for you the faculties of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding.  Little thanks it is you give."

24.  Say, "It is God Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered together."

25.  They ask, "When will this promise be, if you are telling the truth?"

26.  Say, "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone.  I am only to warn plainly in public."

27.  At length when they see it close at hand. grieved will be the faces of the unbelievers, and it will be said, "This is what you were calling for!"

28.  Say, "Do you see?  If Allah were to destroy me and those with me, or if God bestows God's mercy on us, yet who can deliver the unbelievers from a grievous penalty?"

29.  Say, "God is the Most Gracious.  We have believed in God, and on God have we put our trust.  So, soon will you know who it is that is in manifest error."

30.  Say, "Do you see?  If your streams be some morning lost, who then can supply you with clear flowing water?"

The Dominion 67:23-29
------------------------------------------------

It is God Who has created you, and made for you the faculties of hearing, sight, feeling and understanding.  Little thanks it is you give.

It is God Who has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered together.

As to the knowledge of the time, it is with Allah alone.  I am only to warn plainly in public."

Do you see?  If Allah were to destroy me and those with me, or if God bestows God's mercy on us, yet who can deliver the unbelievers from a grievous penalty?

God is the Most Gracious.  We have believed in God, and on God have we put our trust.  So, soon will you know who it is that is in manifest error.

Do you see?  If your streams be some morning lost, who then can supply you with clear flowing water?

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

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today, my beloved Rock and Roll Princess?  I'm doing OK.  I just finished dinner, it was steak, onions, peppers on flat bread.  Nothing too special, but you're welcome to share my food.  I spent the evening clearing out scrub over at your house inshaAllah to make way for the weed whacker.  Then I looked up, and saw a bunch of young coconuts.  My Mom loves young coconut juice and flesh.  She says that it's a panacea or fountain of youth or something like that.  So I climbed the tree with my grandfather's old ladder, hung to the tree with my left hand and cut through the bunch of fruit with a saw on a stick using my right hand..  That was tough work, but I got all the fruit down.  It turned out that the coconuts were at the perfect age, where the flesh was soft and sweet and the juice even sweeter, and the size yielded the maximum amount of juice.  You must try some sometime.

I don't normally do this, but I'm going to give you a forecast for September, because what is about to occur involves you, and you are my wife inshaAllah, and I love you and I need you.  There will be a face off between the three major religions of God: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  This is because of your elevated power, and each side is vying for your open conversion.  This will be a short situation during September, and occur again in about 6 to 8 months time.  Being vague will make this a rougher ride for you.  The solution is to choose Islam.  After all, I cannot be married to a non-Muslim.  Point your finger at me and say to them, "He is my husband inshaAllah," send them to me, and I will distract them away from you inshaAllah.

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

One thing is for sure little fish, you're not the same girl I proposed to almost two years ago.  If you don't believe what I say, then compare yourself in the backstage video of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013 with any video you've been in this year.  It's as if you've been supercharged with power.  Don't lose your sweetness, OK?  Oh, I didn't do anything.  Make sure you give thanks to Allah.  I'm just the one who loves you and needs you.

It seems to me that you don't entirely understand what I do.  So let me tell you a story.  About 60 years ago, Elvis came along and there was Rock and Roll music.  Great!  Then the Beatles came along, then more musical icons appeared.  Music back then was recorded on vinyl discs, and a lot of those were sold plus royalties from mass media, making heaps of money for businesses bankrolling, reproducing and distributing music.  Then as time passed by, it was discovered that only few musical icons had sufficient propaganda power to push product and make fruitful endorsements.  Soon the computer was born, the compact disc came into being, then the mp3 was created: a recording which could exist virtually, and in a small size.  You were about 10 years old when the mp3 came about, old enough to enjoy music without caring about past mediums.  Most human ears don't really care about audio quality past the mp3 anyway, plus it could be duplicated, making the way for billions of free copies of music.  Thus the death of the marketable music product, cds and vinyl discs being sold only to people who cared to pay for it.  Very few people.  Since materialists are too stupid to think past "cash on the table", the business mobs were too late to stop the digital revolution.  Sure they tried to make people pay for downloads.  Did that work?

Well, no.  But the business mobs still had their power, and music still has propaganda power, because good music will always be in demand.  So the business mobs decide who will be the icons that make fruitful endorsements and live appearances thereof.  Thus Allah granted me music and the endorsement power thereof, and gave me the order, by inspiration, to stand my ground here in this kampung in Malaysia, so I could:

1.  Empower Islam over all other religions.
2.  Empower the rural over the urban.
3.  Empower small businesses over the banks and the executives.

InshaAllah.

I had crab for dinner.  I had over half a kilo of crab abdomens in the freezer, you know the fleshiest part of the crab.  So I split each one in two, rolled them around in corn starch, then deep fried them to a crisp to be tossed in my home made hot sauce.  Like buffalo wings.  Crab comes with a lot of garbage, though.  Not like fish, where I can fillet it and gut it, then use the bones for broth.  I can't eat all the shells of the abdomens, I would get a stomach ache.  I can't reuse the shells.  So I crunched through most of the flesh and shell, and used a trash bag for the excess.  Yeah, crab has a lot of garbage.  Would you like to eat crab with me?

Letter to Erin 20150903

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

Hi Erin!  Hi Boss Model!  How are you feeling today, dearest heart?  Are you being a good girl?  For the righteous, their portions are gardens and companions holy.  I want you to know that you have my devotion and my support, and that I love you very much.  And I need you.

It's been a very busy day in the kitchen for me.  Yeah a little knowledge goes a long way, and preparing foods from scratch is superior in quality and value, but it sure eats up a lot of time.  It's the processing of raw foods that takes forever.  I bought a kilo of crab from the Tuesday market.  Tropical crab is annoying because it's so small, not like king or dungeness crab.  Eating it is tedious, and processing it is worse.  What I did with the crab I got was to first separate the legs and claws from the body.  The crab didn't have their helmets because they were sold that way, which is a shame because I wanted the brains.  So I put away the abdomen parts, then squeezed all the meat out of the legs and claws.  The legs are small and skinny, but if you're patient then the meat accumulates.  Tedious!

Then I made marinara sauce.  Trimming the basil took a long time, then I had to run to the supermarket to get tomato soup and fresh tomatoes.  Then come back to stuff everything in the blender and mix it up.  At least my marinara sauce doesn't need cooking- it's ready to go for whatever Italian whatnots and whatevers.  Whoops, redundant!  Yeah, that and later on in the evening, I find my tomatoes about to ripen.  I should have made marinara sauce tomorrow.  Whoops, past future!

I also made fresh sausage.  Home made halal beef sausage.  A batch of sausage goes a long way, and is very versatile.  I made a batch of fresh dough a couple of days ago, and now it's perfect to use.  For dinner I had sausage rolls with marinara sauce.  Would you like to have some?

Hmm.  It's time to try making home made chocolate bars again.  But not tonight.

Letter to Erin 20150902

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

Hello there, my dearest Erin.  How does it feel to be Top Cat?  Floofy is Top Cat in my house, and nowadays I have to call her "mam".  Yes, Mam.  No, Mam.  Now don't rush things.  Take your time.  Enjoy your position.  Everyone else is in a hurry, but not you.  Because they are waiting for you.  You are MY girl.  I love you, and I need you.

Let's talk a little about charity work.  I believe that the best kind of charity, from us in particular, is charity done in silence and in secret.  Don't advertise your plans for acts of kindness.  If you need to be ambassador for something, then at the most beyond a simple donation, just lend them your name and effort.  For example, don't have your face printed on a T-shirt and given as advertising for charity.  That just seems insincere.  Don't give reminders of your kindness, because it nullifies the act of kindness.  InshaAllah you are forgiven for the past, but from now on please follow this procedure.

Don't forget that Muslim women keep their names after they marry.  So you might as well maintain your business and diversify.  There will be no more travel after we marry, but people can come to you, plus you still have mass media.  I'm sorry to be Alpha Male about this, but my orders are to stand my ground here, and you are my wife.  You will remain here with me.  Of course there can be vacation times so you can visit your loved ones, but they have to be well planned with security taken in serious regard.  Please don't get us killed or kidnapped.
