Hi Precious! Hello Dahlink! How are we feeling? Isn't it nice to be at the top? So give thanks to Allah, and be a good girl. Please don't overwork. Make sure you eat properly and get plenty of rest. You are MY girl. I love you and I need you.
I just got hooked on a new game! The concept is simple: I have this ball, you see. Then then there's this hoop attached to a backboard that's elevated by a pole. Then I try to toss the ball so that it goes into the hoop. It's called "Basketball". It's a video game on my cell phone! It's quite addictive. You should try it some time.
I was getting some peppers for my Mom this morning, and I noticed that the woman had some fresh scad. Large sized! So I bought one to grill tomorrow. Scad is good for sushi as well, but it has a strong flavor. I had some packets of pressed rice so I boiled those up, and used the fillet I cut out of the scad to make room for stuffing. So the sushi is pressed rice, scad, and egg. I also had some fish jerky, if I can call it that. It's dried, cooked and spiced fish in a sprinkled form. So I sprinkled a layer of that on the sushi. Oh my God! It was heavenly! Want some?

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
I had a litle bit of insomnia last night. I went to sleep about midnight, and woke up about 2:30 am. Which is no big deal, because I often do that and when I do, I just perform some extra worship then computer work, then I plunge right back to sleep. So this morning I got done with that, I had blogged my letter to you, and was about to call it quits. But before then I decided to check if there were any new videos under your search string, then I found that new skit of you in "The League". Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. Oh, Erin.
You did seem a little embarrassed, though. I wonder how you find time to do cameos like that with how busy you are. Please make sure you get sufficient rest, and eat properly. If you get tense in the shoulders, it's because of general stress and more because you're thinking too much. I'm fairly experienced at giving massage, and I can help loosen your shoulders. Musician's fingers. If it's your left shoulder that's in pain, then of course it means a heart problem. And vice versa: if you sprain your left shoulder from exercise for example, you will find it difficult to breathe. Of course I would love to give you a full body massage. Hopefully our schedules coincide.
Oh, I'm tired. I think I'll take a nap before I go to sleep. You take care now, my beautiful Sweetheart. I love you and I need you.

To be absolutely serious, I wish we were married. I wish I were with you when you be a businesswoman, I wish you were here with me so I can appreciate how beautiful God made you. I'm sorry if my words hurt your feelings lately. I thought that I would be best to talk so as to not hurt you, but I make mistakes, so please forgive me. You know your heart means the world to me. You are my girl, and I want to take care of you. I love you and I need you.
Please make a donation of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro to a worthwhile charity.

Hello there, hi there! How's it going today? Are you feeling absolutely great! Oh, it's just another average day for me. An average day in the average life of an average person. I'm so average! La de da de da de da... Whoop de doo! Yahoo! I love you! And I need you.
Oh, don't be so serious. Today is pizza day! I've been eating pizza all day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Allah granted me some knowledge, for which I am grateful. I love sausage and basil pizza. Making pizza at home becomes much simpler folks, if you focus on the bread first. Make sure the crust is ready to eat before you put toppings on it. It's like making a pre-made crust at home to make pizza at home. In my case, my oven is very small so it's pointless to cook bread in there. I deep fry the crust, then I bake the toppings. The cheese goes on last, and only to melt. Then it's done! Sounds simple, huh? Want some pizza? Well, make sure you say, "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful" before you take the first bite or sip of whatever it is you are eating or drinking.

Hello Dearest! Hi Darling! Is it business as usual today? It's almost Super Bowl time, and I'm sure you are deeply entrenched in acts of commerce. You work hard, so you deserve success. Don't forget that as my wife, you are automatically a professional endorser of food products. Yes, you as well. This business affects all business, because everybody must eat. So don't just limit yourself to caviar and crackers. Try all sorts of food out that appeals to you, as long as it's lawful and good. Lawful meaning halal.
What is halal is not limited to just food. Income and sex must also be halal. For instance, I came across a link (which started for me at Yahoo news) that some people were using verse 4:3 of the Qur'an to legalize gang rape and sex slaves. The entire verse reads (and I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected):
If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice: two, or three, or four. But if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly then only one, or that your right hands possess. That will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice. (The Women 4:3)
What "the right hands possess" generally means captives or slaves. Justice aside, since these women are captives, some people consider it lawful to have sex with them. If you were to read the entire verse, one must marry these slaves or captives in order to be just. "Marry" meaning giving her a place to live, protect her and provide for her. Rape clearly being an act of oppression, and uncontrolled lust clearly being the path of the devil, brings to scrutiny the legality of the capture AND the legality of the war. She is what the LEFT hand possesses: an income of oppression.
Some people with thick beards, wearing sheets and turbans, claiming to be "ulama" (learned), create "fatwa" (edicts) that legalize acts that are clearly oppressive. But you know as well as I that having a pretty face and wearing pretty clothes and a pretty hat doesn't mean that a girl has a good heart. So these "ulama" look the part. I refuse to believe in them, and I am not a follower of them. I am a follower of prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). And if you are still confused as to who the hypocrites are, then know that prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) never oppressed his captives: he released them. And Allah is the Most Merciful.
Getting back to food, it's time for more pizza. So I made a batch of dough this morning, and marinara sauce. My favorite pizza is sausage and basil, and that can be the only type of pizza I eat. I don't desire variety in my pizza. My Mom wants a chicken and pineapple pizza. That will be tomorrow or Saturday, Mom. It depends on whether the dough is ready or not. A caviar pizza? I don't know about that. Dinner was chicken wings again. My stomach has become more sensitive since it got attacked by a sour pineapple, so I had to dilute my home made hot sauce with ketchup. The next batch of hot sauce I make will have to be mild sauce. Would you like to share my food with me? You are welcome, because I love you and I need you.
So many goodies in today's letter, huh? Let's end with a cartoon.

Hi there! How's it going today? Are you feeling OK? How about you? Are you doing OK? Well, please make sure that you take good care of yourself. Be safe, and stay healthy. I love you and I need you. Thank you for being so patient with me.
It's just another normal day for me. I had to give my baby mangoes fertilizer today. They're almost one year old. Pure bred Harumanis take 8 years to bear fruit. I'll raise them until they're 2 years old. Then I'll see if anybody wants to buy them. After my morning routine, I was ready to start lunch. It's BBQ today! This time it's fish. My parents gave me a scad yesterday. Thanks, Mom and Dad! I'll have to admit that I don't have a permanent recipe for stuffing scad for grilling. I have discovered that Tom Yam (Siamese tamarind based hour sour) paste goes great with this fish. Today I thought I would mix that in with chopped garlic, tofu and fish balls. It took a while to grill that fish because I had to do a little shopping, but it turned out pretty good. My cats loved it, too. In the evening, I worked on my tomatoes. I also had to collect more tamarind for my Mom. For dinner, I had to use up the rest of my sliced bread, so I cooked up cheeseburgers. Good thing too, because it was going moldy. I just cut the mold off, but I ate a little of it. Antibiotics. Now it's time to lay out my bed and set up for bass practice.

Hello, my most precious beloved. Hi Princess! And how are we feeling today? Oh, it's all business hey? There's always something going on with you. After the Super Bowl, then it's March Madness, and so on. That's part of being successful, right? Please make sure you get lots of rest and eat properly. Don't forget to pray. I love you and I need you. Thank you for your love.
Oh, there's nothing special going on here today. I did a lot of running around on my motorcycle in the morning, doing shopping. Mostly for my Mom. She wanted some pineapple, coconut milk, plastic bags, coffee and chicken feet. Yeah, chicken feet. Don't ask me, I don't eat that stuff. The chickenmonger didn't want to sell me any, but I managed to get RM1 worth. I needed more T-shirts, so I got some used T-shirts at the Tuesday market. Then I got home in time to make lunch, which was a huge bowl of noodles in beef broth. The broth was from I boiled the ribs for my BBQ. I try not to waste anything! I also added garlic, onion, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and sliced steak. Dinner was much simpler: I ate rice over at Ina's restaurant. Now please excuse me, I'm going to lay out my bed and set up for guitar practice. Ya Allah, thank You for the knowledge and the bounty that You have provided for me.
