That day while shopping at the Food fair at the GE mall I was introduced to the world of Cashless Payment. I had wanted to purchase an item and the stall selling the item could not accept Cards. Would only accept Cash or Cashless Payment. Here is where my grandson came to the rescue so as to get the purchase done. He used his phone to transact the payment by using the QR code at the stall. Done.(I later reimbursed him with that payment.) Getting home he got me introduced to the Cashless payment system by downloading the Payment App (the QR code) to my phone. Now I am able to purchase Cashless. Ha ha! A grandparents of the 21st century! Have a nice day.

This is a traditional dance group of Telecom Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, a contribution in celebrating the Merdeka day on 31.8.1957. Asmah who later became my wife is in the center front in this group photo. She was then just 17 years old. On the same day in Kuantan I participated in the Merdeka day ceremony. the raising of the Malayan flag and the lowering of the Union Jack. At that time I  did know her as yet. I was 18 years old then. Amazing a Sychronicity. Alhamdulillah.  Have a nice day.  

Alhamdulillah. Today 17.8.2022 is my 83rd Birthday. I was born during the colonial era on the 17.8.1939.

Amin.  The image above was taken on 19.5.2022. Have a nice day.

I had other plan for this Saturday morning but had to change it when my spouse say she is going to the Pavilion with daughter Lin and ask me whether I would want to go along. It a surprise and since I had not been to the Pavilion for some times already, I decided to follow them. At past ten in the morning daughter Lin arrived driving the Honda Accord and off we went to the Pavilion. On arrival we decided first to get something to eat at the food court. The.food court looks different since it has been redesigned with a new looks but the familiar stalls that sell foods are all still there. After that Asmah and daughter Lin decided to go shopping on their own.  I decided to go to the bookstore but found that there is not a single bookstore in the Pavilion.  What a shame!. I was rather disappointed and decided to venture on to all the other floors. After a while I went to enjo...

We are not a human being living a spiritual experience. We are a spiritual being living a human experience.

Human is a spiritual being thus science can never solved her problems.  Only spirituality could. Human should continue to evolved without the interference of science. Every aspects of Spirituality should be studied so new institutions be set up to study it further just like the west have done in pursuing science. We should remember that Human is a being with soul and not robot with AI. For Thousands of years Human has evolved without the interference of science. Through spirituality human could tamed nature like sound, water, etc. and used it at their commands and use it for their own advantages. Before the arrival of the western influences our ancestors use spirituality to cure and heal the sick. Raised heavy object. Meditation to acquire knowledge and travel long distances, like going into astral travelling. The practice Silat and the use of weapons like Kris, Santau when at war. To me there is more to spirituality than just believing in faith.  Since science creates more pr...
