Interesting email (Part 2)

Power of the Al-Fatiha

1. To make someone (YOUR Husband, your children) think of
you all the time
*Read the Al-Fatihah 14 times before going to sleep.

2. For terminal diseases:
* Read the Al-Fatihah 41 times and blow it in the water.
Drink and take a bath with that water.

3. For the mentally ill:
* Read the Al-Fatihah 7 times while rubbing the
person's head once in the morning and once at night, everyday without fail.

4. When in extreme pain:
* Read the Al-Fatihah 3 times and blow it in a glass of
water and drink it.Then, read the Al-Fatihah while rubbing the area that is
in pain.

5. For babies who cry at night or at any time:
* Read the Al-Fatihah 7 times while rubbing the baby's
head.

6. For injury : ex: Cut, Bee sting, Bleeding, Finger got
slammed by the door
* Read the Al-Fatihah 3 or 7 times, using your thumb, take
your saliva from the "langit-langit" of your mouth and rub it
onto the injured area.

All of the above INSYAALLAH will work with several
conditions:

* Believe that the Al-Fatihah is the best
"penawar" for everything
* Read it with full "khusyuk"
* Tawakal to Allah
* Use it with GOOD "niat" /intentions.

Fun times at work

We work hard. We play hard. Being a crew is never glamorous. Thank god i have plenty of crazy friends to keep me alive at 30,000 feet.

My new Lojel cabin bag.

And so finally I managed to grab some time to get my cabin bag. 3 weeks of lugging around in my trusty hand carry bag has caused my right shoulder (Im a right-habd person) to ache. Never ever underestimate shoulderache or whatever aches that happen. Results are painful. Im on salonpas right now. It's ugly, makes me feel 90 and sucks like shit.



And so I was in a dilemma that almost made my friend died of waiting. (Never go shopping with me unless you are born on 25 February) I had a few choices:

1. A HEBE cabin bag that costs SGD65. looks good, perfect size but wheels looks like it may give way anytime I bang it against the cruel airport kerbs. The brand name wise, not so sure if it sounds glamarous enough but doesn't really turn me on that much. Failed.

2. A Pierre Cardin at SGD148. Sleek surface. Strong and sturdy. When everything seemed fine, I realised the pull-up handle is the kind that has to be retracted from the side. Fromm perhaps 100km away I will look like im walking a stiff bulldog. Very nice, but failed.

3. Echolac at SGD79. Perfect everything, and then realised I already have one at home with a broken left wheel. So if i had wanted to buy a similar one, I could have spent lesser getting the damaged wheel replaced. Then again I need to use the bag tomorrow. No time for repairs and sentimental value. Failed.

4. Lojel at SGD 117.
Perfect size.
Perfect handle.
Perfect glam factor
Perfect price.
PASSED! 10/10

A new day has begun.

Okay, welcome a new day. I'm trying to be positive. Im going to buy my songket today. Yippee!

Debutante

I do not know how many times I have deleted my previous blogs but apparently im so sick of keeping on creating new ones. This time its going to be a private affair. So its here to stay this time. One day, this life story will eventually end. When will that be, I do not know. All Im aware of, is the fact that at this point of time, a lot of things will change. Life is going to be different. I still hang on to the believe that karma exists. God is fair. Whatever befalls you has a reason. Start believing that Life is never a smooth journey, but its up to you to see thru rose tinted glasses or just an eye patch. I can be crazy at times, sometimes I do not know what Im saying. Most of the times I think im nutz. I do not know why. I see the opening of my blog as a new beginning. I have nothing interesting to share. I lead a simple life. Everyday is a new day, good or bad. I will learn to count my blessings. I have goals, just like everybody else. Just that someimes I do not know how to set it straight. I guess this is what living is all about. Many things are unpredictable. The past year had been very strenuous. I do not know how i managed to pull through. I have my conflicts and unresolved issues. I try to deal with them. I try many times not to let them take control of my life. Sometimes its just too difficult. They say don't fight it. Fate will guide you along the way. Things are easier said than done. Problems with work and family will always be around. They cant imprison me. All the while it was me who has been setting up emotional walls around myself. Sometimes i forgot that I have a choice. I forget things. I need constant reminders. I forgot at times Im only human. I seek a simple life. A desire so difficult and almost impossible. Isnt it weird that when you try to make your life simple, complications start coming through bit by bit. Life twirls around you like a snake. And it bites when you least expect it. Wake up calls are good, only if they come at the right moment. I have to tell myself to stop dreaming. I hate being a pisces, pisces people dream too much. I'm setting my record straight. I know my rules, cos I set them. I need time. But as you know, time will never be on your side. And time and tide wait for no man. Sometimes thats the scary part. Im moving on. I changing things. I believe in things, one at a time. I believe in hope and a shining star. One day things will be different. I depend on me to make a difference.
I depend on me to give myself another chance. Things will be better.
