It was a pleasant morning to sit in front of the sea and spend some time praying, meditating and writing. Today will be important to re-orientate myself back to life in Kuala Lumpur. The 3 days 2 nights in Port Dickson was refreshing. While driving back on the Port Dickson- Seremban highway, a flash of…

The Difference between a Conservative and a Liberal
“The difference between a conservative and a liberal is that if someone is drowning a hundred yards offshore, the conservative will throw out fifty yards of rope and yell at the drowning man, ‘We’ve done our part.

Finding a Religion that Doesn’t Disrupt Your Current Lifestyle
