Quran, the final revelation

Ramadhan is also known as the month of the Quran because this is the month when God first revealed the Quran. Unfortunately, I dare say there are many who are still unable to read the Quran properly. They will struggle and stutter and read like a child from kinder garden. If I ask the next question, how many have read the Quran and know what its saying, the number will be even worse. The next question... how many have read the Quran, know what its saying, understand the meaning, the reason(s) for the revelation, the stories behind the verse, the rules that can be derived from it and so on? Answer it to yourself!

The Long Weekend

There are thousand and one things I want to do during this long weekend. Repaint the front wall, change the bulbs at the front porch, rearrange the books in the hall, repair the deck, varnish the rattan chairs, change the garden chairs, put manure to the flowers, trim the trees etc. etc. Wonder if I can do them all?

Chong Wei just got beaten

I came back from the mosque just in time to see Chong Wei knocked out of the World Badminton championship in Paris. Looks like our title drought is going to continue. If Chong Wei cannot do it, who can? None of the present youngsters that we have are good enough! They have struggled at the senior level to make an impact.

Seventeen days and counting

We are already seventeen days into Ramadhan and it all seem like going so fast. Its showing in the mosque when the crowd is getting to be smaller and smaller. That's an unmistakable sign that we are well into Ramadhan while Shawal is just round the corner. Year in year out its the same old story. Just hope that I can last until the last day of Ramadhan.

US Housing woes again

US housing market has just gotten worse again. The moment the government incentives are taken away, the market struggled. Meanwhile unemployment has remain stubborn. Despite all the best government efforts, the number of unemployed remain high. As a result, stock markets worldwide has taken a tumble. Only locally we are seeing some positives. The question is... will it last?
