I just finished my letter to Coach for maju, freakin 3 pages, but well at least I was being truthful lar, sigh, another boring day, nowadays I waste half the day and am busy only at night, getting home bout 11-12 midnight after meetings and stuff.
A New Pope!
Unsurprsingly, Cardinal Josef Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI, was elected pope, after bout 2 days, I was jst flipping channels late at night, when I saw the headline "New Pope Elected" on CNN. Interesting, I decided to tune in. What a spectacle! It was incredible I tell you, watchin people run in from all corners into St. Peter's Square gazing at the solitary balcony in the distance. There were like tens of thousands of people, singing waving flags, clapping cheering, what a spectacle! Me and my brother watched intently, as the camera focused on the balcony, and after what seemed like forever, Cardinal Jorge Arturo Medina Esteves emerged from behind the curtains to announce the election of the new pope.
Incredible, seeing so many ppl united in religion and prayer, I cant wait till its my turn to hopefuly make my pilgrimage to the holy land, I heard that the mosque compound can fit 1 million people! Hoepfully i can be part of it soon.
Anyways hope this Pope will continue the inter faith dialog with Muslims, though in my opinion it might not make much of a difference, since relations are not say strained or anything, I think the only people that need to dialog wif us and the only ones we need to dialog wif are the Jews.
Problem with sleeping
Lately after coming back from work, I still manage to stay up till 2, on the net and stuff, and when I wake up its usually about 10 plus to 1. Kinda worrying cos I dont think its very healthy. I gotta start waking up earlier cos gotta finish up my last 20 days of work. Haha, sounds incredible, but it actually is true, goodbye to police life, at least regular police life, ts not tiring physically, but it can take an enormous toll on one's mind.
The Casino Issue
Last week before the Casino announcement was resolved, it was said that Malays can take advantage of the opening of the Casino by working in other place which are not associated with the Casino. Already the problem of gambling is so rampant amongst malay muslims, if you dont know, just go to your nearest turf club, and here comes, supposedly the voice of the malay-muslim community, saying Malay-muslims can work "if they dont mind" thing is, I believe that anything in support of gambling is already outlawed by Islam, hence whats the point? Even if you arent operating the blackjack table or the roulette, the security guard there is protecting people who are gambling right? the guy selling drinks is quenching the thirst of the gamblers right? Sigh, maybe im being too hard on this. 20 000 jobs to be created but how much to malays? no reason to be happy to me. But knowing my people, we will just lap it all up, happy for nothing. Typical.
Out.
