I am sure to large extent it all begins with experience accumulated over the years of your working life. Some of those who are in our position, senior citizens, have the time to sit, think and analyse what interests us. Hopefully we contribute something for others to think about.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-22015832438062019732010-12-12T10:49:16.367+08:002010-12-12T10:49:16.367+08:00Akhi Pakcik Al-Manar,

You're at your best when dealing with nature and its secrets as already embodied in Allah's Ayat, which often remains uninterpretable due to its depth and spiritual nature."Laisa kamislihi syaiin' ( tiada yang serupa denganNya) adalah kata-kata yg mendengung dalam kepala dan hati saya setiapkali memperkatakan halNya.<br />Mungkin Pakcik telah banyak menulis sajak yang hanya disimpan. Kumpulkanlah kerana itulah antra bekalan yang boleh diwarisi oleh anak-anak dan cucu-cucu kita setelah tempoh kita singgah di dunia ini berakhir.

Re life in the lion city : It is not ...Dear Pakcik<br /><br />Re life in the lion city : It is not easy when 1 coconut costs apx RM4.00. However most of us live simply and stay in pigeon holes. Even our PM's wife (she is a CEO) dresses simply in blouse and pants/skirts and I sometimes feel quite embarassed when seeing her on TV in the company of other VVIPs' wives with their respendent attire and jewellery. <br /><br />However we are encouraged to do volunteer or charity work and work hard (no need to TERBONGKOK2 as an ex pm said), do our work well and strive to improve ourselves. Of course the lazy ones become drug adddicts or sampah masyarakat. I do not feel at all marginalized as perceived by some as there is always help for the deserving, we even have a pocket money fund for undeprivilaged students (from private collections now amounting to S$6 mil). <br /><br />As part of her nursing diploma training my friend's daughter was sent to a remote kampong in Cambodia and she is so affected that she sponsered her mother, father and a brother to visit the god foresaken place and now she and her mother go there regularly (at their own expense) to do volunteer work. After a short break I shall be back volunteering at an orphanage as volunteering is in my blood!!! <br /><br />Sorrylah Pakcik ini macam promo pulak.

In my room right now the thermometer shows 21degrees, only 30 degrees above where you are. It is just right, neither too hot nor tto cold.<br /><br />Going to Egypt sounds interesting. I wonder what your inlaws are doing there. E-mail Pakcik and tell me how it is like over there. A gentleman I was responsible for recruiting him some 25 years ago has just e-mailed to say that he is being cross-posted to London office for a 3/4 year period. All these remind me of my younger days - cross-posting and growing up children to enjoy together. Make use of today, Hasma.<br /><br />Happy new years (two) to you and family.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-9759839302302295882010-12-09T18:59:27.014+08:002010-12-09T18:59:27.014+08:00Dear Pakcik,

How perceptive you are, Aminah - the tall dying and the young coconut palms, the glassy and the rough surface of the sea, the hardship you see around my village and the prosperity of the Lion City, me the old volunteer and those little kids cheerfully coming for extra tuition etc etc. Then you begin to think of life and what it must follow for certain.
