He Reigns. Again.
We all know by now, that Bush won again. It was a devastating loss for the Democrats. During our buka puasa yesterday, my mom frantically commented, kenapala ramai vote for him lagi, after what we saw he had done to the world, particularly, dunia Muslim. Well, I told my mom, and was seconded by Bapak, that even if Kerry was elected as the new President, I think that still, nothing much would be done. Nasib Palestenians for instance, akan amat masih tidak pasti. Bush won because he made himself useful to his country and his people. Cuma dasar luar sahaja yang bermasalah. Then again, ignorant ppl couldn't care less, and so voted for him. As I said before, voting for Kerry does not ensure a better dasar luar, but it is worth giving him a shot. But evidently, Bush remains popular after all he did, and all he did not do.

Allah saves Arafat
Yaser Arafat's health is deteriorating. Beliau telah secara clinically meninggal dunia and is now relying on alat bantuan. My mom's fren, Datin Tini, upon hearing this, tros cakap, "MasyaAllah. Perang Sabil lah jawabnya." God forbid. Nauzubillah. May Allah saves him. And may us all be saved as well.

Indeed. Very well said. I believe the way you treat the waitress- whether or not you say thanks, whether you would scold her for bringing you the wrong meal; OR the way you treat the pakcik taxi; OR the humble [or not] way you speak to makcik cuci toliet; OR the way you, as a superior handle your staff; etc etc- all of these says a lot about you. Take a good look of ppl around you, and you will be amazed. A whole different perspective.
