MY OH MY

So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief;

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

Therefore, when you are free, still labour hard,

And to your Lord turn all your attention.

(surah al-Inshirah 94:5-8)

my oh my.

I have problems remembering that in my land:

2008 is not just any year,

5 is not just the number of fingers of your right hand,

916 is not just the preferred grade for gold jewellery,

ISA is not just the name of a man,

sodo-mee is not just a brand of instant noodle,

lalang is not just the name of a type of grass,

Yet most importantly,

I remember that

Ramadhan is not just about going without food and drinks.

my oh my,

I still have things to learn and relearn.

my oh my.
