All,
So right now about 5000 miles away the world leaders are meeting to decide the future of billions of people in the world, its weird how essentially 20 people can really influence the lives of 6 billion people, some people say one man can make the difference (usually said in reference of Obama) however i think thats far too simplistic to state the world rests on his soldier, even saying it rests on 20 peoples shoulders is rather simplistic but its a good starting point for what I want to talk about..
Now i been watching alot of prision break and for those that watch know all about the 'company' those that dont it is about a 'company' that basically controls the world and does good and bad things in the world but from where i am in the series has the good intentions for the world even if it means people have to die on the way...
So where is the link with the 'company', the G20 , the UN, CIA etc ..... well the world we live in whatever polticial theory you follow esentially it is a group of people that controls the world, that pull its strings. When i start thinking of that i think what the freak is the point in making decisions if my opportunities are already determined ..then it came to me isnt this what i and many others feel when they think of God and the thought of pre-destination, and that is whats always at the back of my mind...
Howmuch of this life do we control and how much of this life is control, its a question i will never know the answer until possibly the day of judgement and even then i may never know, so im leaving these unaswered questions that used to bog me down all too frequently as i know my brain wil never be able to grasph the vastness of the answers. It is said that for those that believe in the big bang and the law that all of this came by chance, that takes as much belief as the belief in God and when im all alone thats who i turn to, my natural state is to turn to God so i believe thats the right state for me...If that means a few questions will go unasnwered then so be it!
Now about the G20 and the Company etc, well these guys think they are controlling things but they dont realise in that external source, the same source that brought about the economic crisis, the tsunami, etc is the force that dicates the world and not their money or political power. If history has taught has anything it is that something just cant be explained, like how did the Afganis beat the might soviet, yeh u might say US and the arabs helped the afgans but still for that country to win required somethign else, and im not jus saying it cuz there muslims, the same thing for the isrealis to beat the arabs in the 67 war (i think) it required something out of the ordinary to beat them, and i think God helped them. So to some its not making sense, now im saying the help the must have come from God and helped the JEws, but why does a muslim guy say this, well God rewards people and punishes others and in that instance i belive he was punishing the Muslims and rewarding the Jews after the tough times they occured in Europe in the 40's-50;s, God doesnt just help one relgion otherwise everyone would become that one fatih but instead tests us all, and it is up to us to decide which path we take to reach him...

Stormy's Knights
Hey all,
Well its been a while, a number of times i have started writing and it
just ended pear shaped so this time im making a determined effort to
start it again...
So quite a bit has been going on in my life since my worldwind travel
tour, and I have not actually been away much since, only really a 11 day
trip to the uk so nothing really exciting to report on that front...
My football team UN Knights have had a mixed season, we havent got the
best record when you hear it you will be like WTF? Basically we played
13 games won 4 drawn 1 lost 8 which sounds quite poor but if you put it
into perspective this is our first season and its been tough getting a
team together which is essentially a group of strangers and getting them
to commit to a team and play week in and week out and dedicate a large
amount of their time to this team, a number of the players have
committed and become good friends of mine as I admire their desire and
commitment whilst others I have lost respect for because I have seen a
side of them that I don't like or don't respect. Football on the surface
is so superficial a group of guys kicking a ball about but its so much
more than that...What people don't see is the off the ball running,
making space for your team mates by making runs, covering for your
teammates if they make a mistake, building up your team mates morale
when it is down, there is a lot more to football than meets the eye and
when you get sucked in its so hard to pull out...
Man Utd are currently going thru a disastrous time in the league and
inshallah things will pick up but it's a truly testing time with our
arch-rivals Liverpool excelling its putting a lot of pressure on the
team and fans to excel, inshallah they will, but its really nervous
times ahead and im sure ill be commenting a lot more bout it inshallah
as the season reaches that infamous squeaky bum time~!
I also recently met someone that im getting to know and will see where
that leads but as usual with me there are a few complications but
masallah im really happy and she makes me really happy at least for the
time being...so will c how that goes...i will elaborate more again as
inshallah the blogs restart..
Aneway that's enough for now inshallah you will hear from me sooon...

The Moment of Singapore
hey hey
im writing this at like 4am local time in singapore, i havent been sleeping at the conventional hours as i want to stick to doha time otherwise ill be screwed when i go back to work.
Im watching this show called 'the moment of truth' its the most immoral show i have ever seen, its some american show where this person answers 50 questions and is polygraphed to make sure their telling the truth, aneway they then are asked on tv 21 of those questions and could win 500,000 dollars. There really personal questions like one of the questions was 'have u ever thought about having sex with another man whilst u were married to ur husband' and she answered yes, man it prides its self on the potential to break up marriages, what the hell, i cant believe a show like that exists, i mean its fairly intresting but to break peoples lives like that is jus
disgusting!
Aneway so let me tell u about my expeiences in malaysia, well u know the saying 'Malaysia truly asia' in all those adverts, well it certainly is, its like a microcosm of asia, as u have the indians, the chinese, the arabs and the malay which pretty much sums up most of asian regions and it seems they all really get on quite well, though not sure if the arabs fit in but the rest of them proper do. I met
loads of indians who call themselves malaysian, and im like but u look indian and they say how their grandparents came here and so basically their 2nd generation and made me think would my children(iA) consider them brits as in proper and not asian-british i doubt it but u never know if the people of malaysia are to go by then i think britain could learn a thing or two about integration!
Im not sure if its jus me and the places i go to or the people i attract but it seems like everywhere i go the sleezy people follow, again taxi drivers trying to offer 'good time' lol its so weird though i think if they see a single guy whos from the west or think im some dirty arab coming for sleeze its jus really shocking for a muslim country to be like this, i met alot of good muslims so dont get me wrong about the malaysian muslims but im jus saying their is a lot of other schenigans going on! Oh this book story going on at the moment was on new years eve this sex party was busted at some hotel and their was loads of drugs and alcohol and crazy stuff going on, aneway 2 of those arrested were like famous one a tv presenter and one a movie star or something and so its made it in all the papers, and they have
a relgious/morale police in malaysia and they busted them, and it turned out the drug dealer was a 20 year old student lol some crazy stuff if u read up on it jus bizare and makes ur mind wonder there hell this world is headed!
So about singapore, well its tiny, i think it must like the size of qatar maybe even smaller but its got 4 million people so pretty dense(2nd most dense country in the world after monaco supposedly though i think gaza and westbank might be as well so not sure if they were counted in the magazine i was reading) and the flag of singapore has the cresent on it which is a common sign associated with Islam and
supposedly singapore has 64 mosques so it has a fair few muslims, but didnt think it was enough for a cresent to be on the flag but yet there is one! Also like in malaysia integration is quite strong in singapore, i went to a shisha bar and there was alot of groups of indo-chinese mix however what i noticed was that the indians would like speak more amongst each other and the same with the chinese people so though they might all be friends i dont think its as integrated as malaysia is probably because the majority of the population (75percent) are chinese where as the majority is less in malaysia.
Oh one thing im impressed so far with singapore, is that they have like sin tax, where alchol and cigs are taxed heavyily to try and discourage it, and it seems quite a moralistic society aH which is quite good in this day and age, i mean yeh u have debaunchery and other things going on but where dont u, but at least its trying to do something bout it which is admirable in todays immoral world!
Aneway its like 5am now so i best sleep but take care and will inshallah write again soon!
