The spiritual...
world has always been a mystery to me. But Kak Long seems to have taken it as her pillar of strength. Her sons not doing well in school? Somebody must hold a grudge at her. Must see the bomoh. Things not going smooth at the office? Her officemate(s) must be in a state of envy of her. Must see the ustaz.
We followed her to see one last night. From my observations, the ustaz was not telling her anything that we didn't already know. I surmise that he is only playing mind games with Kak Long. He sees what Kak Long is worried about and he just enhances her worries. I say, Get a grip, Kak Long! Learn to deal with the problem first. Then ask the graces of Allah for help. Then, maybe, when all else fails, go see the ustaz. We had the cheek to ask Kak Long where the ustaz graduated from and for a moment I could see her stutter.
* Nasi Goreng Special Zuno at the ustaz's premises was great, though. Succulent meat cooked in black pepper sauce served with butter rice and egg sunny side up. Our only regret was that the servings were meagre.
