Slippers Part Deux

Salam boys,
Finished solat and prepping bikes for morning cycle with your mom. One of 5 love language: Quality time. However, she's still sleeping though - heart is willing but body is weak. Gonna let her sleep some more.
Anyways, to continue with the theme on slippers, last night after Isya', my old, apek slippers went AWOL. I did a thorough search but it was in vain. In the past, I would have got really pissed and proceed with slipping onto any pair I see and trod off home BUT, I didn't do all that. Instead, I was calm and simply walked off barefooted. May the slippers serve its new owner well. Fortunately, the Ajit minimart was still opened and bought myself a new pair for $6.80. Interestingly, the salesgirl was a PRC lady. Her english was comprehensible though.
One thing I still can recall that was mentioned by the Ustadz during his talk prior to Isya' was the need for us to 'makmurkan rumah Allah, makmurkan Masjid'. Interesting, I remember filling in a volunteer form and personally handing it to the front office but have yet to receive any news. I'll probably need to drop them an email to offer my services - but what services. Besides photography, I would love to give free tuition to the many under-privileged Malay/muslim kids I see, especially from the 2 rental flats nearby our home. It'd be killing 2 birds with one stone - me helping them in their secular studies and they getting closer to Islam as lessons are conducted at the masjid! Now to just manage my time and plan this accordingly.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but les s wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not i...
