In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Erin! How are you, my darling? Are you busy being the heart of the party? You're my sweetheart. Please look after yourself in my absence. I love you and I need you. I'm writing this letter a little earlier than usual, because it had been raining from 2 to 4 pm, and quite heavily too. So it's too wet to cut grass (I tried that before and got wet gook all over my face, and a cold thereof), and the crops don't need watering. Then my Mom got me some rice from downtown so I didn't have to bother about dinner. She also said I smell like a cow. What? I took a shower at 11 am, and stayed in the air conditioning until 4! It must the humidity, because the morning was hot and sunny. Or it could be the influence of Floofy's daughters. They're always in heat. They take a break for 4 days, then go back into heat for 2 weeks. Filthy beasts! My mop has never been so busy. But as a paradox, my floor has never been cleaner. So I'm going to take this opportunity to laze around, watch TV and play video games. Later after the night prayer, I think I'll practice bass. Ya Allah, please grant me a good fretless bass and bass amp combo! And the drum set I want! And a 12 string gold top Les Paul! With a nice tube amp setup! And a complete studio setup! So many necessities...

Letter to Erin 20151014
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
I don't know why it takes me so long to process seafood. Probably because my sink is so small with no work space whatever- it's just one of those hand sinks. It's not meant to wash dishes or process food. I had to break the pipe outside so the water flows onto the ground, and not clog the pipe. Oh don't worry, I'm cautious with water inshaAllah. Anyway, I had to process the sole I bought last night, but they all fit into the sink. I have to process the big fish outside. Anyway again, it's black sole, if you happen to want to try this for yourself. Makes a big difference from other flatfish, because it's the easiest to work with! It also tastes great raw. It has large scales, so I had to scale both sides. The skin can be peeled off, so make sure you start at the mouth. Save the skin! There's not much for gills and guts, but it's still a little bit of work. You get 2 fillets with a small flatfish like black sole: top and bottom. Trim off the side fins, and save them along with the skin! The skin at the bottom can't be peeled off, so if you eat that part raw then expect it to be chewy.
After I filleted the fish, I marinated the skins and fins and also the bones and heads in soy sauce then deep fried them. The skins and fins taste great when crispy. I could have put them on my hand rolled sushi, but I wolfed them down quickly. Tastes like crackers. There's still meat on the bones, so I separated that after frying and used them for my noodles at lunch. I gave the heads to the cats, but those and the bones taste great as a crispy fry too. So sole tastes great raw. So I made hand rolled sushi. Very filling. What is it about hand rolled sushi that's so filling? I use the same amount of rice and more stuff when I roll sushi with seaweed sheets. Want some? I'm going to use the bottom fillets for fish and chips.

Hello beautiful Erin! How are you, my love? Please make sure you are taking good care of yourself, because I love you and I need you. It's been a busy Monday for me. I spent the morning at the Department of Motor Vehicles renewing the road tax on my motorcycle. I got home in time to make a couple of tortillas to go with chili and eggs. Quick lunch! But filling. I had to finish off the won ton skins, so after workout after voice training, I worked on those. Stuffed won tons take a long time to make but quick to eat. I only had 28 won tons left, so I gave 10 to my parents. I did go to the night market today, and got some sole and soybean milk. I don't feel like processing sole right now, but I might just do that later to get it out of the way. Oooh, but I don't want to go to sleep smelling of fish. Sole also makes great sushi and sashimi, and the rest of the fish makes a great crispy fry. Hmm. Looks like I have tomorrow morning all booked up.

Of course I'm going to mother hen you, because you are MY girl, and I love and need you. I'm going to do whatever I can to look after you, and since I don't have money then I will use other means to help protect you. What I seem to have are spiritual means: if Allah be pleased with me and my work, then Allah will help me protect you and enhance your career. And if you care about that, then you wouldn't allow yourself to be consumed by evil, and the evil of the entertainment industry. Of course you can have fun. What I don't want is for you to be psychologically addicted to having fun all the time, which in turn converts to being chemically addicted to having fun all the time. Be grateful to Allah, pray, and be faithful, because with Allah as my Witness, my promise to you is true.
Right now I'm watching the biography of P. Ramlee, one of the greatest entertainers of Malaysia. He had a successful career with both financial and critical achievements while he was alive, but he died in poverty, then received a title posthumously. I don't think I deserve a title because I'm antisocial, and I certainly don't want one posthumously. It be better that they worship and fear Allah, or give the title to my father because he would love that. Nowadays the locals get very touchy if his work is criticized or becomes unavailable. I think the error P. Ramlee made was mismanagement of his career: he was careless with his money, and too trusting of his bosses. But what to do? People are totally used to only one way of success in the entertainment industry. I have a different approach, and inshaAllah it will succeed: let the people glorify and worship Allah. My reward is with Allah. My greatest burden artistically and spiritually is the emotions of the dead. The most beautiful voices belonged to women who were suicidal and oppressed. My insanity is to be consumed by that, may Allah protect and help me.
I'm going to eat my dinner now, you're welcome to join me. It's curried potatoes, made with the fish curry from the other day. I figured out that my curry needed more curry powder and salt, and now it tastes OK. Want some?

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.
