Planning for an early hajj

Salam boys,
I'm unwell today and am on medical leave. Am at dr iqbal's clinic but he's not around till September as he's doing reservist training. Yipes!
I'm looking at last Tuesday's berita harian and the good doc is on a side column in the front page-business during the fasting month! Must keep that in mind. Potential source of extra income! Anyways, got side tracked a bit as main purpose was to talk about plans for hajj.
Just got home from seeing doc and taking care of business, ehem. BP too high doc said and was given 2 days MC. Sheesh. Need to rest well.
Ok back to hajj situation, I'm setting aside $400 each month for that. 10 months time $4000. 20 months-$8000. 30 months-$12000. That's just for me. I want to bring my future wife, Insya'allah! So $24000 takes 60 months or 5 years to save. I'll be 40 by then and if I keep jogging and eat right and hopefully quit smoking for good, can go!!!

Shanghai Bus Terminal

I'm having breakfast with my family and am watching this excellent documentary on discovery channel - Shanghai Bus Terminal. At first i was overwhelmed by the sheer no. of folks and families heading back home, some as far as a 24hr bus ride, to celebrate the lunar new year. Most of them are migrant workers whom have worked their butts off for the whole year to save up and spend quality time with beloved family members. Sadly, not all of these folks are literate, most don't even know how to buy a ticket in the first place. These migrant workers or the 'new' Shanghainese, total about 4 million in strength - that's about the whole population of Singapore! I see both the good and bad side of human characters in the show. BAD: A man was robbed on the way to the terminal. Scalpers taking advantage of the situation & selling tickets at 10 times their original prices. Migrant workers who were not paid by their employer only bus fare to go home! GOOD: A stranger helping
