Kissed that ass!

Hohoho!

I started my Monday mornin with a Bang, literally tis mornin! All was fine when i drove to work until the lil Benoi Road stretch when I had to stop for traffic behind a Mercedes cab. I wasn't speedin n I had my foot on that brake pedal for awhile yet...BANG! My colleague, who was my makin her first day return to work after maternity leave was in a blur. I was kinda shocked...like how the hell did i bang the cab?? Oh my heart felt like droppin for a moment. But I had to face it...my first accident.

The cabby & I came out n inspected our vehicles. NO DENTS! PHEWWWWW ALHAMDULILLAH~~
But there were scratches n the paint on our car plate was crumpled. Urghh! Taxi driver looked at me..looked at my car...asked if we can settle it right there. But I only got $50. So he took my no. and said we'll settle it after he dropped off his passenger.

I called Cuzzin Liz and asked how much would a paintjob cost on a bumper. I thought of offerin the cab driver $200 but she said "NO DON't Kak Supi. $100 should be more than enuff." Ok so i borrowed my colleague's money & managed to get it settled with that $100 & the cab driver said he didn't charge me for his cab rental etc. and simply told me to recommend ppl for his service should anyone need to use Mercedes Limo service! He smiled & went off & my colleague who was with me said he looked pretty happy.

Told another colleague abt the accident & he said that the scratches can perhaps be covered with wax. I told him, i noe no shit abt waxin man...so he tried usin his wax on my car...and sure enuff, the scratch was GONE!! Then i recalled that the cab's bumper scratches looked less serious than mine!! Wahhhh no wonder uncle was smilin away when I gave him the money!

Lesson learnt at a price.

Btw, to my Lesbo Raf...surely tis will be one of the most memorable birthday of urs tt i will remember...LoL! Enjoy the last of ur 20s! Yeah u have 6 months extra as compared to myself

Ibrahim ibn Adham - may Allah have mercy on him - a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyan ath-Thawri, was asked about the saying of Allah - the Most High: "and your Lord says: "Call on me I will answer your prayer..." [40:60]

"We supplicate and we are not answered."

So he said to them:

You know Allah, Yet you do not obey Him,

You recite the Qur'an, Yet do not act according to it,

You know Shaitan, Yet you have agreed with him,

You proclaim that you love Muhammad Yet you abandon his Sunnah,

You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to gain it,

You proclaim your fear the Fire, Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins,

You say "Indeed death is true", Yet you have not prepared for it,

You point out the faults with others, Yet you do not look at your faults,

You eat of that which Allah has provided for you, Yet you do not thank Him,

You bury your dead, Yet you do not take a lesson from it."

The Dignified Wife


A ceremonial gun carriage awaits her tomorrow since she passed away on 02.10.2010. Although she is not quite a high profiler herself, she was afterall behind the main man who moulded Singapore. Madame Kwa Geok Choo or better known as Mrs Lee Kuan Yew surely was one whom although not many know about, is a familiar face who is always by the side of her husband,our Minister Mentor Mr Lee, always seen smiling with bright eyes.

I always had the impression of her as one who is graceful & firm without showing airs despite being the wife of Singapore's "somebody". No one looked half as poised as her with white hair in a cheongsam/shamfu. I knew little about her & only a few weeks back that I read the interview of the MM by The New York Times about their lives and her health goin into decline to the point that she was bedridden. I was really moved by their loving demeanours....I know, I get all warm & fuzzy seein & readin abt old people being all lovey dovey!

Anyhoo she reminded me of Siti Khadijah, the Prophet's Muhammad's first wife some what. Both had similar qualities. Both were successful & intellectual individuals on their own yet both choose not to outshine their husbands & were always there to support their husbands, with calmness & wisdom...they went through thick & thin together & are their husbands' best Companions ever! And she was quoted to say "I walk two steps behind my husband like a good Asian wife". Much admiration & respect!

So here's to u Mrs Lee...may u rest in peace!
