Oh!

Assalamualaykum.

It's approximately 1.15 am now.. and I don't feel sleepy at all even though I spent the whole day window shopping yesterday[15/12] with Shambie..
Correction. I was the one who ONLY did window shopping whereas Mademoiselle Shambie [who just got her 2 and a half month lump sum salary] shopped till she dropped!

Dropped her bank account low, that is! Hehehehehe..

It was fun seeing other people shop.. watching the RM50 notes slipping out one by one.
But truth be told, I forced myself to be patient..it's a lo--------ng way before the next pay.
So, yesterday it was only just another day at KB Mall, 'spying' on what to buy next week..
[I've quite a long list of products from The Body Shop alone... sheisshhhh~]


Enough ramblings about the boring stuff I did at home, I was actually speechless reading this forwarded email from TKCOGA.
Perhaps you have read this somewhere.. but I'll just share it anyway..
I couldn't find the ORIGINAL article though.. Google-d it, but to no avail.
Please read, minus the pictures which are supposed to accompany this article, it's worth reading.
Makes me so proud of such devoted Muslim leader.. Ahmadinejad.
Actually he kinda reminds me of Kelantan's [or pehaps Malaysia's??] most respectful leader, Tuan Guru Hj Nik Abdul Aziz.
His modesty, I find it similar to what Tuan Guru is.
Besides that, their will to change the lives of the citizens whilst maintaining the honour of Islam, IMHO, are equally strong.
This is definitely my own personal judgment, feel free to voice out your opinion if you think otherwise.

The Life of Iranian President Ahmedi Nijad'

The Fox News TV (USA) asked the Iranian President Ahmedi Nijad;

'When you look into the mirror in the morning what do you say to yourself'?

He answered: I see the person in the mirror and tell him 'Remember,
you are no more than a small servant, ahead of you today is the heavy
responsibility, and that is to serve the Iranian nation'.

Ahmedi Nijad, the Iranian President who astonished many when he first
reached to the office of the Presidency by donating all the high valued
Iranian carpets to one of the mosques in Tehran by replacing them with the
low cost ordinary carpets.

He observed that there was a huge extravagant lounge for receiving and
welcoming the VIPs and he ordered it to be closed and asked the protocol
office to arrange for an ordinary room only with the wooden chairs.

On many instances he joins the cleaning staff of the municipality
for cleaning the streets in the area where his home and the Presidency are located.

Under his authority whenever he appoints any minister to his post he
gets a signed document from him with many points, particularly
highlighting that he shall remain poor and that his personal and his
relatives accounts will be watched and the day he leaves the ministry
shall be with dignity, and therefore it is not lawful for him or his
relatives to take any advantage of his office.

First of all he declared himself for all the 'Big' wealth and the
property he owned was a Peugeot 504 car, model 1977, an old small
house inherited from his father 40-years ago in one of the poorest
zones in Tehran. His accounts with a zero balance and the only money
comes in to his a/c was from his salary from the university as a
lecturer with an amount of US$ 250 only.

For your information the President still lives in that same house. This is
all what he owns; the president of one of the world's important countries;
strategically, economically, politically and with regard to its oil and
defence.

He even doesn't take his personal salary with the argument that all the
wealth belongs to the nation and he is the safeguard over it.

One of the things that impressed the staff at the presidency is the bag
the President brings with him every day, which contains his breakfast;
some sandwiches or bread with olive oil and cheese prepared by his
wife and eats and enjoys it with all happiness.

One of the other things he changed was his personal carrier 'the
President's Aircraft' to a cargo aircraft in order to save the
spending from the public treasury and he ordered that he will be
flying with the ordinary airline in the economy class.

He organizes meetings every now and then with all the ministers to know
their activities and efficiency and he closed down the office of the
Manager of the president and any minister can enter to his office without
any permission. He also stopped the welcome ceremonies like the red
carpet, the photo session or any personal advertisement or respect of
any kind while visiting any place in the country.

Whenever he has to stay in any of the hotels he asks them to make sure not
to give him a room with any big bed because he doesn't like to sleep on
beds but rather likes to sleep on the floor on a simple mattress with a
blanket.

Refer to some of the photographs which also confirm the above.


The Iranian president is sleeping in the guest room of his house after
getting away from his special guards who follow him wherever he goes and
photo is taken by his small brother according to the Wifaq Newspaper which
published this photo and the next day the photo was published in most of
the world's newspapers and magazines and particularly the Americans.

During the prayer you can see that he is not sitting in the first row.

And the final photo is of his dining room where the president is busy
eating his simple meal.

It may sounds/looks too good to be true, and is arguable.
But let's say it's for real, don't you think he's an awesome leader?
I shall look for the origin of this article..and the photos** too.
But upon reading the email, I recalled Pa'chik's entry regarding our ministers' monthly salary..

I laughed hard. Sheepishly.

If there's an army of Ahmadinejads in our country, I guess we'll be living in Heaven on earth.
Then again, that will be too good to be true too, right?
Wassalam.

**Just as I was about to'report' to Pa'chik that I already posted an entry, I was shocked to see that he ALSO posted an entry on Ahmadinejad. [Macam janji-janji pulak..hehehe..] Oh, and I managed to get the photos at last.
