1 of my favourite songs
Seal-Kiss Form a Rose
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,I might compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,The more I get of youStranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
Baby, to me you're like a growing addiction that I can't denyWon't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I might compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose ( on the grey)...
And if I should fall, at all
I've been kissed by a rose (on the grey)
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I might compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey,
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
stranger it feels, yeah.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

Good old Mr Raja
Believe it or not, i took this pic myself. now all we need is a world cup trophy ryt where Mr Gulaam Raja is sitting.a funny thing happened on the night when this pic was taken.the photographers asked that all management and team staff go off and only the team should remain,well they all went off but Mr Raja (who could be close to 100yrs i myt add) was struggling to go off,well Mark boucher must have been in a hurry to go somewhere coz he couldn't wait any longer for the aged Mr Raja to get of the stage,so he kindly gave him a not so gentle push of the stage and laughed along with everyone else as Mr raja Almost fell to the floor, but miraculously he landed on his feet,kinda springy actually for a man of his age and stature, i guess Jonty must be helping him with his fitness as well. WELL DONE MR RAJA!

Love,wealth and success
Ibn Rajab and others gave an account of a worshipper who ran out of resources while he was in Makkah. He became extremely hungry and was about to die from lack of nourishment. One day, as he was wandering in the precincts of Makkah, he found an expensive necklace. He put it into his sleeves and headed for the Masjid. On his way he came across a man announcing that he had lost a necklace. The poor man later said, "I asked him to describe it to me, and he did so, perfectly, leaving no room for doubt. I gave him the necklace without taking reward from him. I said: "O Allah, I have given it for You, so compensate me with what is better."
He went to the ocean and began a journey in a small boat. Only a brief period of time passed before a storm came with heavy winds crashing into the boat. The boat smashed into pieces and the man was forced to cling to a piece of wood. The winds were violent, propelling him to the left and to the right.
Finally, he was washed ashore onto an island. He found there a Masjid filled with people who were praying, so he joined them. He found papers with parts of the Quran written on them and he began to recite from them. The people of the island asked him, "Do you read Quran?" He answered yes. They said, "Teach our children Quran." So he began to teach them and he took a salary for his services. One day, they saw him writing and they asked, "Will you teach our children to write?" Again he answered in the affirmative and began teaching them for a salary.
A short time later, they said to him, "There is an orphaned girl with us whose father was a good man. Will you marry her?" He agreed to the marriage and later related, "I married her and found that she was wearing the exact same necklace. She said that her father lost it in Makkah and a man found it and returned to him. She said that her father would always supplicate while prostrating, for her daughter to become blessed with a husband similar to the honest man. I then informed her that I was that man."
"O Allah, I have given it for You, so compensate me with what is better."
Abandoning something for the sake and Pleasure of Allah- Allah will definitely compensate with something that is better, either sooner or later, in this world or Hereafter.
