ANOTHER HOMELAND

.
Born to a mother originated from Indonesia & an Arabian father born in Singapore. I was exposed more to Indonesian cultures rather than Arabian cultures while growing up. I can't speak Arabic but I can speak a bit of Bahasa Indonesia..
.
Yes! I do not look like an Arabian or an Indonesian..I have such an undefined Asian look..🤪🤪🤪At overseas no one can guess I look like which Asian except Filipino..I still smile..I am honoured..eventhough I am not a Filipino but Indonesian by my mom's side..well, as long as I still look like a human, I am fine with whatever Asian look I have..Looks can be deceiving anyway!😁😁😁
.
Today, my mother complained that we forgotten to hang the Singapore flag on 9 August 2020..I was busy, it slipped out of my mind..I teased her that she can hang Indonesia flag as today is Indonesia's 75th Independence Day..She smiled faintly before she started telling me how she missed her hometown in Indonesia..🤦🤦🤦Here we go again..the emotional story of my mother's childhood life in Indonesia..REPETITION!
.
Anyway..
To all Indonesians worldwide..Happy 75th Independence Day..May Indonesia continues to prosper, stay peaceful & the Indonesian magnificient cultures are well-kept. God bless all humans! Ameeeen..

🇮🇩..Pray..Prosperous..Peace..🇮🇩

SUNDAY SERMON BY ME

"I don't cry easily..not until I have had enough..Like that day..until Harlem said - "at last you open your big mouth to tell the whole truth!"..Yeah! The truth why I am not married but have many exes..bcoz those exes cannot accept my family..they even questioned why I am the only one paying the water-electricity bill..buying the household's groceries etc..why can't the expenses be divided equally amongst me and the other 5 children?..Why I am the only one needs to be there for your mom at medical checkup? What the others are doing? etc etc..You think what.. . I just don't share with you..Why the child doesn't share with the parents bcoz the parents are too busy judging the child! That's why you think you know me bcoz you gave birth to me..but the reality, you don't. I am NOT like my sisters..Being indirect "laid off" from the high post, my lil sister ran back to you and cried..Did not get to take up Diploma on sponsorship by the w...

OUT OF ISLAM

. Islamic fasting month started on 24 April 2020 making it the first day of Ramadhan month of fasting to all Muslims. On 7th day of Ramadhan month of fasting, I decided to proceed with my decision to convert out of Islam. That's all I want and need at the moment, after putting it on hold for too long now. . WHY DO I WANT WAY OUT OF ISLAM? . Firstly since young, I was asking why I have to go to people's home just to learn how to recite the Holy Qur'an. My parents are Muslims but my mother was a bit lenient though as I was not forced to do my prayer from young age like one of my neighbour's grand-daughters who started doing prayer at age of three. . As I grow up, I learnt more and more about Islam. Frankly speaking, some parts of Islamic rules and regulations or COMMANDMENTS I cannot bring myself to agree upon as at an angle, those commandments are leaning towards women being the weakest subject and meant to be dominated by men due to it. Sorry to say this but as...

COINCIDENCE? POSSIBILITY?

. I opened this product on Tuesday, 12 January 2021 evening..upon reaching home from work.. . I took a bit..put it on the back of my palm & started scrubbing..my lil nephew said it smell nice..yeah indeed it does..I was demonstrating to my mom how to use it..then I wipe the area with tissue until no residue..thereafter I went to the kitchen & washed my hands.. . Returned to the living..then I smell something so fragrant..I told my mom & she said most probably due to this product..I smell my hand but no smell..🤔🤔🤔.. . I told my mom that I smell something like screwpine leave..hirisan daun pandan..cam yg letak atas keranda..my mom stared at me..I said,"Someone is going to die one of these days.."..my mom asked who could it be..as she kept dreaming of her cousin..she feared of her cousin's well-being..but the smell is sooooo fragrant..very calming indeed.. . Then we got to know a well-known religious person passed away on 14 January 2021.....
