Joseph(Yusuf) in the Quran.

Joseph or Yusuf in the Quran is an elaborate story.
A beautiful story about the most handsome Man in History.
How women, in awe of his beauty, cut themselves while peeling fruits.

Yusuf was bestowed with the abiility to interpret dreams.

In the Bible, Yusuf was seduced and although he rejected the enticement, he was
found guilty because he left his coat in the Mistress room, and was imprisoned.

But in the Quran, it says, his shirt was torn from behind. proof that he declined the temptations and the seducer failed to charge Yusuf with a false charge.

Why are different people inspired differently?

Is God a forgetful God? Inspiring one and another differently?

I do this sincerely in the best interest.

George Bernard Shaw said this

. THE MOST DANGEROUS BOOK ON EARTH “ (the Bible)

by biblehoax

KEEP IT UNDER LOCK AND KEY.” Keep the Bible out of your children’s reach

Should I wonder why?

Surah Saad, ayahts 71 - 88

Do not be led astray by the Devil

Galleon 9

Its just a codename but this is the second biggest I've made though its not my design originally. Of the 30 odd years in this field, as far as i can recall, I've only made less than 10 of this design. Its dimensions are, height approximately 30 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 24 inches long. I'm just guessing because I don't have one for me to measure now. : ) Notice the three masts, there's another even rarer galleon which is the Galleon 10, with 5 mast and even taller and longer. I made only two. One of which broke when I fell and landed on it. Took me a few years to gather the courage to make the 2nd one. :) Interested? Gimme a buzz, ring, whatever..

My Friend, Sham's work of art to wear.

What I think of local batik? Someone once asked me.
Hmm. That’s a tough one. I think there is still room for expansion. Diversify. Increase if you must. Say, in its production and promotion.

The problem with local batik is its way too expensive to get designer labels. The unique ones are always expensive. Wished I can wear batik everyday, in comfortable materials such as cotton. Ready to wear are not available easily. But if one wants batik that’s exactly the same as the next one on the shelf, then most probably that’s not batik but a clone version of batik, probably made in China.

I like the batik done by my good friend, Sham. He is innovative. He strays away from traditional form of producing batiks. I think it’s the background that makes his batik special. Love it.

I also like batik in one colour but with different shades and tones. If you have seen hills and mountains in the morning, you would know what I’m talking about. Like a Chinese painting. All the batik pics you see here are my friend's work. If anyone wants to custom make a batik baju kurung or any kind of batik, feel free to contact me for details. Thank you.
