The mere being

Finally I had my OMNIA!! I've been drooling for it since the day it first came out. It was unexpected really. I actually went to Starhub @ Tampines to get the Maxonline Mobile plan and Mr Hubby wanted to renew our home Maxonline contract for the free PS2 promo. Apparently the Playstation 2 promo is available for online sign-ups only. Anyway saw that the OMNIA's going for $98 with 2 years plan down from the $600+ when it first came out ... and with a redemption of $100 voucher, practically have it for 'Free'. Just love it! It came with a 5 megapixels cam and 8GB storage. All the more pics to click!

It was a double happiness for me when a long lost friend, my besties since primary school found me in FB. My memory jogged way back to 1990.

I recommended her to work with me at a Malay publishing company that once published a Malay teen magazine. We were then Sales Executives selling advertising space where we worked with the late Allahyarham Haron Abdul Majid, then the editor of the magazine. The experience exposed me to the advertising industry, taught me much about publishing but the most important lesson learnt was ... prudence.

There was so much hope & potential for the magazine thus it's death was a sad one. While we can never really know what happened, one thing we can be sure of is that,greed and lust was the root of the downfall.

Did some search and found these sad entries:

and more of Abang Zul .. and I'm pretty much sure it's really him.

I still believe people are inherently good as opposed to inherently evil as what Jensen my boss said.

Somehow along the way, people tend to lose focus ... forget what they're trying to achieve in the first place and get swayed by the distractions.

I am sure a lot of us have been in that situation ... whether too insignificant to be noted or otherwise.

Unfortunately, Abang Zul's was in that in a big big way. He ended up in jail for 8 years (that's what I heard) after being on the run for a brief period. Reading up his entries seems to reveal a man going tru questionable spiritual experiences. Probably ignited by the need to find one innerself ... another path I hope that would not pull him towards the wrong direction ... again.

Abang Zul is inherently a good person however we're in constant need of HIM to show us the way .. as we are mere mortals who often errs in our own judgement, that includes myself.
