An Afternoon with Julissa

The stretch of road leading towards China Town from Tg Pagar is now TERRIBLY TERRIBLY HOT!

1 building had been torn down and many big trees were cut!! It's too early to be making way for Circle line or whatever MRT they're gonna build there, isn't it?

This is my route every afternoon - a 5min walk frommy office to the gym. But its getting unbearable with the sun glaring and the shine bouncing off the glasses and concrete. Ergh!



There used to be stubbed tree trunks here.. but i was too late to capture it... now this is what's become of them. Poor trees....

**************************

Having sore muscles from Badminton Wed night, i can't do the treadmill in the gym today. i just went for the steam room. The steam was almost unbearable! i should've brought another towel in to cover my face.

I was supposed to do the steam for 10min (or so the beautician at slimming centres told me) but i only did 5min. Even then it seemed like aeons! To kill the time, i chant Allah to the rhythm that i know 33 x 3 x 5 to make about 500 which is almost equal to 5min. For variation, sometimes i analyse random thoughts or do a postmortem on some discussion. Eg: Why were there many people on the mrt at 4pm? What would my boss be thinking from what i told him just now?

Afterwards, on the way to do my errand, i felt like treating myself to some snack. it feels like a waste if i dont bring back "souvenirs" frommy lunch excursion, though it was only to Raffles place hehe... so some ideas i had were:

  1. Coffee Bean's Sunrise. Nahhh @ $5, its triple the amount i was willing to part with.
  2. Famous Amos' Butterscotch cookies. But i just had them 3 weeks ago and i've got so many other sweet cookies..
  3. Burger King's Fries? Nope, just had it last night and i felt like having something sweet
  4. maybe that $9.90 shoe along the Raffles Link? I can't eat a shoe! and none caught my interest
  5. Polar Puff's Chicken Pie? No, actually quite full already
  6. Delifrance's Peach Tart. Expensive
  7. Maybe some cake or pastry at that new halal bakery at Caltex House?

You know what i ended up with? $2 Rockmelon from SunMoon! Healthy and within budget snack treat! Yay!!

***********************

After such a glaring walk to the gym, i went out to strong winds and dark clouds. Soon it began to rain. Then i can't continue to walk, but had to take the bus instead for just 1 stupid stop its $0.67!!! $#%$^#$%@#$@

When i dropped at Fullerton.. i thought i just brave the wind to walk over to HSBC. Coincidentally, the lady walking in front of me was opening her umbrella so i caught up with her and asked, "Hi. Can i share my umbrella till across the road?" Then i started to chat with her

Me: Wah the rain comes so suddenly huh?

Lady: Yeah

Me: Just now was very Hot!

Lady: Yeahlah, now weather is changing

Me: OH yeah November already.

Lady: In Singapore now, everyday raining

Me: (Is it?) oh yeah.. so must bring umbrella everyday. You're crossing this road, also?

Lady: its ok. its on the way

Me: Thank you very much. Bye!

Almost wanted to say "See You.." but i thought it was ridiculous. But suddenly, my social bar (Sims term) rose very high and i mood turned to Silver. *beam*

I still remember I learnt that trick from San Po, an adviser back in MKA. She had a high profile job in HOng Kong or something and naturally, she was rather outgoing n suddenly asked a stranger to share an umbrella when she can't fit under 1 umbrella with me and Mel.

My dear girl, there no CCL in Chinatown, but what is coming is DTL, downtown line, right from Chinatown via cross street, thats where your gym is, and thru raffles place, more to One Raffles place, the NTUC income new building and right inside Marina where the IR is going to be.

Soon you'll see viaduct abive cross street to make way for the new MRT Station down there.

My dear princesses..(3 of you), life is not about Sims...and sims is not how we should live like. We should live the way Prophet Muhammad and his family and his companions had live.

Do not...and never...never...rate your life with the stupid SIMs game....

Tho its only a game, you may say, but, please...please all you out there...do not downgrade your status by the elctronic inventions.

It sounds like the pagan makkans worshipping idols.

Umar Al-Khataab used to reminisced his past life, by saying, how stupid he was before became a muslim, that he would make a kind of cake and then worship it and then after, ate it...that was real stupid, he said...

ALLAH says in the Quran

remember Lot, whenhe said too his pple, do you commit fahishah, which is great sin and unlawful intercourse and sodomy while you see one another without screen

do you approach men in your lusts rather than women you are pple who behave senselessly

his pple said drive him out of our city...thesy are men who want to be pure and clean

so WE (ALLAH) save him and his family, except his wife, WE destined her to be of those who remained behind.

We rained down on them a rain of stones

Say ( Tell them O Muhammad) Praise and thanks be to ALLAH and peace be on his slaves whom HE has chosen. Is ALLAH better or that you ascribe as partners to HIM. Of course ALLAH IS BETTER.

Why i bring these verses of the Quran to you?

Because I am worried that you may be classified as the wife of Lot.

It was said that the hell will be filled by more women than men.

It was also prophesised by Prophet Muhammad that more women will follow Dajjal than men.

So my dear girls, please do something quick and seriously with taubat, so that, you are save from tha above predictions.

You have grown in front of my eyes, and I have seen how all of you do not have ALLAH in your heart.

You may have done good by covering aurat etc...

but that cannot guarantee you a place in jannah (paradise).

Please be serious about allah AND religion.

sTOP READING THOSE NOVELS which are nothing worth compare to the Quran.

Read the meanings of the Quran.

I have many books in our bookshelves for enrichment of our spiritual life, please take your time to read them, a little bit at a time.

Marked the pages with bookmarks, with the intentions to continue the next day.

Raed the tafsir Quran, everyday, a bit at a time.

My observations shows that you girls are very little interested in ALLAH and Islam.

That is the damngerous point I want to bring to you, which I fear may end you up like the wife of Prophet Lut.

She was doomed with the other people, because, she do not support the religion promoted by her husband.

She compromised with the goons and morons of her time who were inclined to do thing against ALLAH and their Prophet Lut alayhis salam.

Oh yeah that's right the downtown line.

There is always this 1 week in a month that will break the momentum or hinder progression and/or initiation to do and be good! Not easy being a woman.
