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!!!

Goodbye to a fellow friend.

Salam boys, Change is the only constant on life. I am having Iftar with Ms Faridah, my school TA, who is leaving the school for greener pastures to better provide for her family. May Allah bless her with bountiful rezeki and good health. Insha'allah!

The last lap

I was on my way to marking PSLE scripts @ Toa Payoh. in a crowded mrt train but chillin' with hari raya tunes on my ipod. sepasang kurung biru...such sweet melancholy...thankfully my malay is still good enough to really appreciate the words. sighh... feels good. though eid celebrations have become low key for the past few years, i've stepped it up a notch a bit this year by hanging twinkling lights! energy-effecient LEDs, for the record. : ) wait..there's an unfamiliar raya song being played. Anyways, probably with my sons Hari raya might take on a different meaning in years to come. For me the takbir-my memories of my grandparents it rekindles & the old school, evergreen Raya songs will always be my version of a sweet & tranquil Eid celebrations. one more shout-out to my beloved pupils- all the best for your year-end exams. Your best is yet to come. Insha'allah!

Pollination versus Pollution!

Greetings Netizens! Sigh..so far ONWAD's not going as planned..hehe. Ahh but I would like to share some quotes about what I've read from Wired magazine - simply awesome mag! Especially prior to tomorrow's Science mid terms. Gotta rummage through the bag first. Quotes: It's the questions, not the answers, that make science the ultimate adventure - Brian Greene What is Science, after all, but a never-ending detective story? - Chris Anderson Adieu!
