The night of October 5, 2019 I had a lucid dream or sort of an astral trip. It cannot be a just a dream since even at this time at 6.56pm October 6, 2019 some twenty four hours later I still could remember vividly what happens during that trip. Had it been a dream I would not be able to remember of what happened in that dream a few minutes after I woke up. This is what happens in that beautiful dream... I just got a new Sport Car, an off white BMW, a flashy car. As I was about to get into the car an elderly man [deceased] the father of my friend Halim want to have a look at the boot of the the car. I open it not by a Remote Control but just by my thought. He saw the exclusive boot space, happy and then left. I closed the boot, got into the car and start driving it. I felt real good with the luxurious interior space and the comfort of the driver's bucket seat. As I was about to move on another car stop by and a gorgeous woman came out, on seeing my car looks at me and smile. I sm...

It the 16th day of Ramadan. As usual in the evening I would sit at the Serambi [Malay patio] and take it easy. The clock on the wall shows its 6.18 pm and it raining. Nice. I always love the rain. Now it kept the Serambi cool and a nice place to while the time away before Buka Puasa [iftar] . Kenet the cat is with me perhaps enjoying the rain too. I have just start reading this book by Lauren Booth the sister in law of Tony Blair the former PM of UK. She has since convert to Islam and wrote this book, thus the title ' Finding Peace in the Holy Land '. Well I just bought the book a few days ago, not looking for it but found it glaring at me. Without thinking much bought three books including this one.  The other two are about Islam too [image on the left] I have always believe that books always looks for it's reader. So in one looks I bought three books just on impulse. Most of the time I get good books and this time I am indeed happy to get all the three books in one g...

They say things happened for a reason and I do believe so. Let me relate here two recent happening which I believe is the way our guardian's angel works. First I saw a comment in  Taib Wahab 's Facebook posting where he highlighted the demise three years ago of a close friend Mohamed Ibrahim which we fondly address as Mat Bra. It happened that Mat Bra was one of my closest friend when we were attached to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports since the early seventies. Through this posting I got connected with  Mar Ilyani Mohamed  the yo ungest daughter of Mat Bra. The second happening was a young woman the daughter of a family, a neighbour in Cendering where we live when working in Terengganu. She saw a FB posting of a photo of me and spouse having dinner with my nephew's  Hyree Ibrahim Kutty , her uni colleague. She  Julaillah Mohd Sarif  put two and two together and contacted me on FB. In the conversation I soon found out that both her parents h...

We are now at the beginning of Ramadan. It is a spiritual journey that Muslim all over the world take during the month of Ramadan of the Islamic calendar. During this whole month Muslim would fast during the day and break the fast at Sunset. That moment is call Iftar or Buka Puasa in Malay. Iftar [the breaking of the fast] is done at one's house or at the local mosque. Where families members live nearby like ours the whole families would Buka Puasa at our house. Remember after fasting for the whole day everyone is not in the mood to go out, thus the buffets at the hotel is out of question. So, the best place is at one's house where the atmosphere is relaxing. We really need a relaxing atmosphere to buka puasa and there should be no rush in doing it. The ritual is always the same; when the Azan is heard we break the fast by taking some hot or cold sweet drink and Dates. Then go and perform the Maghrib prayer. Only after that one start to enjoy the first meal of the day. Then af...

We have been told that to strike the Iron while it is hot. You can only mold or shape or have any effect on the Iron only when it is still Hot. At that temperature that Iron is soft enough to have any effect on your strike. Once it is cold there is no way you can have any effect of that Iron. This is just a saying, a word of wisdom but true to the happening of everything in life. Say if you are sick and the doctor ask you to swallow a pill and you said that you would do it later. It does not work that way. To get cured you must do then and then and not later. It the Now factor that is important.  I told friends many times that you got to do it now. I meant it Now if you want to be healed or cured. Most of the time they just take it easy. Once I told a friend to read the book [the answer to his predicament I believe is in the book] but his answer is that I would ask my sister to read it first and I would read it later. Recently I show several people who are at stage 4 cancer...

2016 have been a good year for me. I start the year still recuperating from my surgery of August 26, 2015 when I was in coma for a week, where I lost living in the physical world for that week. Anyway, as I had blog earlier I had a good time in the spiritual world during the period of the coma. I blog about the Comatose period here . I came back with a new perspective of the reality of living. I move on and continue to enjoy life as usual and as colorful as ever. And today I have almost healed from that surgery and thanks God for giving me a second chance to continue living. Like blogging I am sharing my thoughts with the world on Facebook and Twitter with the hopes that whatever I share would be useful to others. Perhaps it would help them to continue to have a good life in this beautiful physical world of ours. Live the moment folks for that precious moment would be with us for only a moment in time. Yesterday has gone for good and tomorrow is yet to come The present i...

I thought and thought and thought whether I should share this rare moment in my life. It about my personal space that happens when I was in a Coma for a week after the surgery on August 26, 2015. After much deliberation with myself, God willing I am sharing it here. During the period I was in Coma I did not know anything of what happens to my physical body. Only my loved one and relatives who was at my bedside could tell what happens. A few months after I return to my home I managed to get some information from a relative who made constant contact by WhatsApp to my two daughters throughout the period I was in Coma. I learn later that I lost blood and had blood transfusion, my lung did not function and they had to use a Respirator to keep me breathing, they had  to pump  me  with various drugs and of  course keep the liquid in my body by the drips; despite that I  lost 15 kilos in that one week. Thus I could understand how frantic the si...

We was in Putrajaya last Sunday to watch the Hot Air Balloon festive there. While there I took time to enjoy my personal space. At this juncture of  my life to be able to just  enjoy the peace and tranquility of a place is an occasion that I cherished. I love to just to forget about what happened around me, care less of the surrounding and let my mind to just run wild. At time I would just got lost in my daydream but always enjoy that moment of travel in space and time that I am yet to understand and explain. When one is in that state of mine one is at  peace with oneself and to me that is a great moment in time. Always enjoy that beautiful moment. Above is an image of me while enjoying my special personal space both physically and virtually. A beautiful moment indeed.  Have a nice day folks.

Inspired by this book ' The Hidden Messages of Water ' by Marasu Emoto and reflecting on my long journey of life, I am writing this so as to open up our hearts and minds to the power of water in our lives. Water is very important to our survival; seventy percent of our body contain water so it is important to learn more about it and give due respect to it. On this book it all start with a conversation I had with Steven V-I Lee a fellow blogger some years ago. While having breakfast at a restaurant with my spouse and I Steven brought up the subject of this book. He say that I must read it and that he would send a copy to me when he gets back to the UK. When he return to the UK he send me the book and I start reading. As usual with me I analyses the content and after some soul searching I found that what the author Dr. Masaru Emoto say in this book is actually nothing new. The only different is that this doctor did many experiments with water to prove to the scientifi...
