In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Oh hi, Erin. How are you? I pray that you are feeling healthy and confident. Right now, it's almost time for sunset prayer, so I'm sitting here waiting and writing in the meanwhile. I haven't prepared my dinner yet, but it looks like it's going to be chili. For lunch I had stuffed won tons again. I had the craving, you know what I mean. I set a personal record for how many stuffed won tons I put down in one sitting: 47! Aren't you proud of me? I spent the evening cutting grass after workout, so I think I burned it all off. That's why I haven't had time to make dinner yet.
Sometimes I think my Bob Cat is more muscle than brain. He beat his own ear up because of some ear mites. Or perhaps I didn't catch on when he wanted me to clean his ear out. So I rubbed his ear with rubbing alcohol, then cleaned out the ear mites. He was growling when I cleaned his ear out. Bobby, you can growl at the ear mites as loud as you want, they're not scared of you. And you can't beat them up without beating yourself up. I guess it's like a reaction to gossip.
So I hope you're eating properly and getting sufficient rest now that you're super busy. Remember that partying is work and work is partying at this level! Treat it as work, and don't get swallowed up by the business of having fun! Rock and Roll Queen. Please take care of yourself since I'm not there with you. I love you, and I need you.

Hello Erin, my darling? How are you feeling today, Sweetie? You're such a cutie, Erin. Even the way you throw a ball is cute. I love you, and I need you. Oh, I'm so moody today. Mood swings from hell. I was OK on my way downtown this morning to get some won ton skins, then suddenly the mood swings hit. It's like I was Zam the puppy dog most of the time, then suddenly turning into Zam the wolf at any given moment in an instant. At times like this, I don't want any human contact whatsoever, but today is Friday. Ya Allah, please grant me patience and constancy! Oh well. Who knows what happiness is. I feel it may only be bought in the next life. So I'll just go back to glimpses of happiness. Like a bowl of fresh stuffed won tons. Want some?
I would like to add that I'm very pleased that you are not giving out reminders of your generosity when conducting recent charity work. Sincerity only makes you more beautiful. So beautiful that you don't need make up. Keep up the good work, OK?

Hola, mi Corazon! Hello, my heart! I soory but I no el habla ze Mexicana! How are you doing today, Erin? Are you having a great time? I'm just standing ground here as usual. People like seeing Zam the wolf, but I prefer to be a puppy dog. I hope you don't hate me for that. How's sports season coming along? Busy, busy no doubt. Do you like soccer? I suggest you get engrossed in soccer, for it would give you something sporty to do all year. Something more global, and your bosses will love you all the more. I suggest you choose a favorite team in the English Premier League. Me? I'm not a sports fan, I'm sorry. The only sport I like is Ladies Figure Skating. I just watched the top 3 skaters in the 2015 ISU world championship. See how slow I am? I do think the current skaters are trying to match the style of moves around the field of Adelina Sotnikova, which is great because it looks awesome. Which gives us spectators something to appreciate other than those tiresome jumps. It's beautiful. I love beauty. You're beautiful. I love you, and I need you.

Hi there, beautiful girl! You're so gorgeous, you don't need make up, huh? Well, that's what I think. You are MY girl. Are you having fun being Sports Princess? Erin, I love you and I need you.
People get so touchy over what they eat. It's like interest, you're never going to talk people out of the consumption of interest, especially when it means more food for them to eat. I spent the morning working on my curry. I used up all the mackerel to make fish curry. I don't have a routine for curry yet, but it's getting there. Today's effort was a bit on the tasteless side, but I'll get there. I can't fail all the time, inshaAllah.

I came across one of those dog meat farm videos on YouTube a couple of days ago. I watched it aghast in horror....AAAAAAA!!! Everyone knows I'm a cat person, but I love dogs too. Muslims aren't allowed to eat dogs, and many of the learned and religious bureaucrats frown upon owning a dog. There is no ban on dogs in the Qur'an, and I haven't found the specific hadith (order of the Prophet, peace be on him) that states the restriction. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. No, I don't want to eat dog. I'm not even curious. The rationale of people who eat dogs is that some dogs are for meat, and some for pets. All animals belong to Allah, but Allah made animals subject to humans. I consider some animals are for meat, and some are for pets. I consider dogs to be as friends, someone to share food with, not to be food. Someone to help protect us, and add to our awareness of the world and Allah.
But nobody could ever be friends with a mackerel. Mackerel is for food, and no human can question that. My Dad gave me a kilo of mackerel this morning. My Mom said it cost RM10. Only 4 years ago, I could frequently buy 2 kilos of mackerel for RM3. Mackerel tastes great raw, so it makes great sushi and sashimi. I use 95% of the fish myself, though I give the heads to the cats. The soft roe is the best part, which I eat while gutting the fish. I'll have to teach you how to process and fillet fish. It's not fair that I have to do all the prep and the cooking. Mackerel is a popular fish, not only with humans but also with other fish. But as a species it is adapted to that, and repopulates quickly. The price of this fish tells me that it is under pressure, also that every single fish but one had roe in it. When mackerel was cheap, it was not easy to find soft roe. However, I can still find mackerel for sale every day no matter what the price is, not like snapper. So I made hand rolled sushi for dinner. Hey, this rice isn't sticky at all! I couldn't make rice balls. This rice is Basmati rice, from India I suppose. I also suppose Indians don't eat hand rolled sushi. So I added some corn starch (I didn't have any rice flour) to the rice, and that made it sticky enough to roll. Next time, I'll use seaweed sheets, or buy local rice. I don't eat vinegared rice because it gives me heartburn, but otherwise it's pretty good and very filling. You want some? I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin! Hi Sweetie! How are you feeling today? I pray that you are feeling healthy and confident. It's business as usual for me today. I had to go downtown in the morning to get the new prayer schedule. Prayer times I'm sure you know, are dawn, afternoon, early evening, sunset, and night. But they have it all calculated accurately to the times nowadays, that I can just look at the schedule and see that the night prayer is 8:19 pm today. The Muslim calendar is a true lunar calendar, so the full moon is always on the 14th. The new year begins next Wednesday. Year 1437.
I killed all my guppies yesterday. I keep telling myself, "Don't wash the thing with soap!" and what do I do? I washed the thing with soap. That's why I hate house cleaning. I kill innocent fish, that do me no harm. They don't pee at my bathroom door. Poor fish. So I took 9 baby guppies from my Dad's fish pond. He seems to have an endless supply of guppies. They seem to be doing OK. They all are basically the same size, about a couple of grains of rice or less each. So I put 4 pellets of fish food in the jar, about the size of a mustard seed each. They get bigger after soaking in water. But the bigger fish chase away the little fish from the food. And I'm watching them right now. There they go, so bigger than a couple grains of rice, circling the food, making sure no one else gets it.
I don't know what it means! I'm a guppy killer! Maybe I do know what it means, and I'm not telling. I hope you are doing great. Take care of yourself, Sweetie. I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin. How's it going today? I pray you are doing great. It's kind of a surreal day here for me. I've been busy all day like I usually am on Sundays, but it's a very hazy day. It started last night with the dreams I had. Wow, I wish I could record video of my dreams. It was incredible, so awesome that I don't want to tell the world about it. What a great movie, though. Glory to Allah. I think I'll write about it in music. But I managed to stay active all day. I cut the grass at the side of the road all the way from your house inshaAllah to my parents' house, on both sides of the road. Wow. I'm still seeing that dream. Incredible.
I was making dough just now, and the cats were going berserk! Well you're the girl I want to marry, Erin. I love you, and I need you.
