Qur'an 20211018

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

134.  All that has been promised unto you will come to pass, nor can you frustrate it.

135.  Say, "O my people!  Do whatever you can.  I will do.  Soon will you know whose end will be in the Hereafter.  Certain it is that the wrongdoers will not prosper."

(The Cattle 6:134-135)

Water

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope that all is well with you, and you are having a great time.  Not much going on over here other than the same old same old.  Well, there is the issue of drinking water.  I don't drink the tap water here, so I get usually get drinking/filtered water in 20 liter bottles.  Suddenly it's become unavailable, unless I want to drive far on motorcycle.  Ugh, water is heavy.  Maybe it's time to upgrade to bottled mineral water.  Ugh, it's still a long drive for that.  But I'm not going to consume colored sugar water as a substitute.

Oh, the intrigue

 

Hi Natty!  Wassap, Honey?  I hope all is well with you today.  What's on the menu?  Please feel free to enjoy good food OK?  Please remember to say,  "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful" before the first bite.

I found another cute Animal Cover video!  I wonder who the next James Bond will be?  Perhaps they will choose a young Bond this time, someone who can handle 7 movies.  I sure hope the writing will be as good as Ian Fleming's.  Work on the intrigue, guys!  Give us mind candy!  My favorite Bond was Sean Connery, but my favorite Bond movie has Roger Moore as Bond.  The gadgets are 60's and the fight scenes aren't very choreographed, but the overall feeling is exotic.  Don't change Bond's nature!  He is a callous womanizer!

Saturday is supposed to be gown day, but I forgot!  I guess I got taken by the "boy"...

The big dick

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  Are you having tons of fun?  Please take good care of your health and safety.  Oh, what about the big dick?  Not me, Honey.  Only in my dreams.  Next life, inshaAllah.  Big tits, too.

Ugh, plenty of bad vibes on the road today, but I'm still here writing this letter to my Sweetie so alhamdulillah.  I would have stayed at home but I had to get bread, kitty litter, spaghetti fixings and a bar of soap.  I'm not brave Honey, just disgusted.  I also had a sugar binge, which I loved and regretted.  I bought a juice pop and it was so good, I bought another.  And another.  It was awesome at the time, but later I felt sick.  I don't normally eat that much sugar.  Friday is ramen day.  This time I used my roast beef as a soup stock instead of fish.  It was OK.  If you wanted to make soup stock, then you must use the bones.  Beef bones would have been better.  Dammit, the egg I used in my ramen had an unstable yolk!  Plus, the shell fractured into small pieces.  This means the tray of eggs I bought the other day wasn't fresh.   A tray of grade D eggs was RM6, then it went up to RM10.80, then it came down to RM9.60, and that's when I bought it.  This tells me that the price of eggs went up because they wanted to make more money, not from any shortages.

Whoops!

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Sweetheart?  Is everything cool with you over there?  It's bloody hot over here.  I have to cool my cat down with ice, myself I take showers.  Whoops!  After preaching about real and fake food yesterday, I bought some spotty cauliflower.  My Mom told me to buy half a head of cauliflower and when I got to the grocer, all the cauliflower had spots.  But that was all there is, so I bought it.  When my mother was processing it this morning, she got upset with me for buying bad cauliflower.  I told her that was all there was.  She grumbled that I bought it because it was her money, not mine.  Well, she has a point.  I don't ever want to manage someone else's money.  If anyone gives me money to spend, then it better be my money.  I'll report the income to the taxman and pay taxes on it if I have to, but I'm not doing someone else's spending for them.  I can't refuse my mother however, and that's the reason I bought the spotty cauliflower: because she told me to buy cauliflower.  Sorry, Mom.  I won't do it again inshaAllah.  I love you!

Qur'an 20211014

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

109.  They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a Sign came to them, by it they would believe.  Say, "Certainly Signs are in the power of Allah.  But what will make you realize that if Signs came, they would not believe?"

110.  We shall turn to their hearts and their eyes, even as they refused to believe in this in the first instance, We shall leave them in their trespasses to wander in distraction.

(The Cattle 6:109-110)

Food

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I hope you are doing well, and enjoying yourself.  What did you have for dinner?  I finished off the rest of the curry pup fixings I prepped a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the potatoes, onions, and beef I used were real.  I can't really tell with flour, but it tasted OK.  I always get my lunch at the corner restaurant, and the boss generally gets his produce from the neighbors, who grow the stuff in their yards.  That is as pure as it gets.  If the produce looks too good to be true, then it's chemically treated.  I guess we take this for granted no matter what country we're from, whether it be China or USA.  Again, if produce looks excellent then it's not pure.  That's just the produce, what about the other stuff?  It's a blessing to have knowledge of cooking to be able to tell the quality of food products, but still a lot of junk gets through.  Because it looks so good.  Or because we are too poor to avoid it.  Sigh.  Might as well eat the microphone.

I really like Andre Antunes work!  The video above is hilarious but seriously, Yoko has found her genre!
