Internet Tag games

I'm feeling tired and my head hurts. I'm not really sick and I got as lot done today etc so it's a little strange. Maybe it's related to sickenss related to Malaysian politics?

Finished the Romans 1-4 Bible study booklet today so that's nice. And in 20 minutes my boys should be back from school and I have to take them home and bring asome of the school boys to the TT stadium.

  2. Though given to me tongue in cheek some of my Malay students (when I was teaching them in my Perak days,Hantu Polong is a pretty horrible spirit in Malay cosmology.

    From wikipedia ...

    Polong is Malay for a spirit enslaved by a man (most of the time) for personal use. Like the Hantu Raya and Toyol, it has a master. It is an unseen ghost that can be used by a black magic practitioner to harm someone. It is particularly meant to harm other people, especially when the owner has wicked intentions towards these people.

  3. hmm, i was thinking about it more, and i think it was a mistake for me to use the term "malay cosmology" because of course, "officially" it should be "islamic cosmology." :):):) malay animism shouldn't exist with islam, right? ;)

    hahaha, so your students thought you were sent to harm them??? :p

  4. Actually I thik the hantu polong, the toyol etc are more Malay animism that has become a part of Malay folk Islam.

    I was a tough teacher but I must say many actually liked me :-) I have loads of photos to prove it and quite a few kept in touch for the first few years they went aborad to study and the one who gave me the nickname even found me years later after she graduated and was working to introduce me to her fiance! We stopped keeping in touch as it was tough since she was a great Ahmad Deedat fan and I was not :-)
