Musical Instruments

Sometimes in life, priorities change and responsibilities undergo major shifts. You change for the benefits of your loved ones. Positive change is a good thing. It builts character, maturity and most importantly, it lets you focus on the things that matter.

I'm now going through a new phase in life. My "strumming" days are over and it is time for me to focus fully on my career. Nevertheless, the spirit of music is still in the blood and ocassionally, I will have a session or two with my band friends just to relieve the "cravings".

Here's my pre-loved Samick and Watson Amp that I'm letting go to anyone who is willing to take over my musical journey. Both items will be sold for SGD$188.

PLEASE NOTE:

I would prefer (LOCAL BUYERS) Cash-On-Delivery or Local Bank Transfer (DBS/POSB) but if you insist on registered mail, local or overseas, do note that some items are bulky and shipping costs are in relation to the item's weight/size. I only accept PayPAL for overseas buyers. I do not ship to certain countries. Do email before any purchase decisions.

Meet-ups at both the seller/buyer's place of convenience. Just state where you live or want it delivered, and if I'm on the way, we'll meet and I'll pass it to you! 

I'm just here trying to keep prices as low as possible. I will NOT be held responsible for any lost mails. All approved transactions are FINAL. There will be no refunds or returns accepted.

 Thank you for your kind understanding.

Happy browsing my store ~

"Some of us are too snobbishly absorbed in our quest for superiority against our friends and enemies in terms of worldly possessions that we fail to acknowledge our own imperfections and defeats; that by doing so, we're unfortunately another step away from Allah..."
~ The Silent Writer

"Know well that the worldly life is but a play and an amusement, and a show of beauty, and exchange of boastful claims between you, and a competition of increase in riches and children. (All this is) like a rain, the growth of which attracts the farmers, then it withers, and you see it turning yellow, then it becomes straw. And in the Hereafter there is a severe punishment (for the disbelievers), and forgiveness from Allah and (Allah’s) pleasure (for the believers and the righteous). The worldly life is nothing but a material of delusion."

~ Al-Quran Surah Al-Hadid verse 20



EVENT
Living in Akhir Zaman (End of Time)

Muslims are living in a time
known as Akhir Zaman (End Times)
and are facing numerous challenges from different angles.
While some chose to surrender
to the stream of time and modernization,
some choose to remain on the path
and be close to Allah.
The latter eventually managed
to overcome the challenges
and make the best of his life.
How can a Muslim live in the End Times,
with all the trials and tribulation,
yet make the best out of it?


WHEN
December 13, 7:00PM to 10:00PM


WHERE
MASJID ABDUL GAFOOR
41 Dunlop Street


WHO
Maulana Dr Waffie Mohamed is an Active Da'ie
from Trinidad and Tobago.
He holds a PhD from University of Karachi
and is now the director of Markaz al-Ihsaan,
Institute of Islamic Theology.

With more than 20 published articles,
books and researches,
Dr Waffie Mohamed is indeed a renown scholar
that one would definitely benefit from.



------------------------------------------
TERRORISTS?
OR JUST THE
SIMPLE TRUTH?


Do you think that Islam brings peace?


Or does the religion of Muhammad contains deceitful secrets
to mislead mankind to acts of "holy" war
against non-Muslims?


Are you an atheist who still adamantly believes that apes are our ancestors?


Is it true that God's final revelations 1400 years ago
brings forth scientific proof of His existence?


In a modern world where miracles are only backed by pure faith,
what does BELIEF stands for?


If Modern Science can completely prove
the Existence of God,
will YOU submit to His Will?


"...There is this choice you can make because you're in complete control of your own life.
Either you believe in the Hellfire and the Afterlife,
and therefore you seek the Correct Path,
or you may choose to believe that Hell does not exist.
Why be bothered by what the lecturer has to say,
if you don't believe in Hell.
There is nothing to be afraid of by attending it...
The lecture is only a discussion of God's Latest Scripture for Mankind
and its connections to the Torah, Bible and other sacred text..."
~ The Silent Writer

I have also added my own notes to this collection.

This note (see pic below) might look like a normal-looking SGD$2.00 Note. However, not many of us might have noticed that it actually has a Millenium 2000 Logo stamped on the bottom left and top right of the note.

3,000,000 pieces of this note was released on December 8th, 1999 to celebrate the millenium Year 2000.

So, the next time you receive an SGD$2.00 change, do look for the logo. You might just be one of the lucky 2,999,998 others who own this note.



On June 27, 2007, to commemorate 40 years of currency agreement between Singapore and Brunei, the SGD$20 note was launched; the back is identical to the Bruneian $20 note launched concurrently.
