Have you ever wondered ...
Why
What
When
WHEN they said ... everything happened for a reason(s)
WHATs the reasons ?
WHEN it only hurts you like a knife cutting through
Seeing someone else(s) living their dreams on the ruins of your life !
Down
Out
Trodden
Looking up at the blue skies
Maybe ... Maybe theres still an Angel
Willing to salvage you
Hoping
Wishing
Praying
As I lulled myself to sleep
Tomorrow is yet another day !

Oh What a time ...
The month of December has always been a month that brings out a lot of fond memories.
The rainy season definitely reminded me of the winter months though minus the snow.
The cool morning fresh air, the gloomy days with strong winds blowing...oh why do I have to think of the past ?
And tonight I am listening to Enya again, my favourite music. Enya always reminded me of how beautiful "LOVE" is... more so what love "WAS" or "WERE".
They are all past tense now. Where are all the loves of my life !
They are all nicely stored in my Ferragamo shoe boxes.
Whenever I listen to Enya ... a day springs back to life ... and makes me want to fall in love!
Will "LOVE" comes back into my life again ?

An old friend ?
It all started when I asked my sister about an old radio which should have been a piece of antique by now; I have forgotten that it has been taken by this individual. That seems to be a very long time ago.
So, out of curiousity, I tried to search online, typed his name and voila...his name came about...but through his daughter's blog !
In one of the entry is about her early days, the story about her parents and how she came about on this earth. She put up some pictures and after cringing my eyes at the low res pics it was confirmed that he is the right person. I could still recall his face. And the early pic of her parents while they were still dating, he was wearing a white short, which sort of was his somewhat uniform, working as an assistant manager at one of plantation estate. GUTHRIE !
Ah..memories came flooding back. Reading and looking at the pictures, plenty of water has gone under the bridge for him as well. He got married to "that girl" had three kids and got divorced.If my rough calculation is correct they must have been married for at least 14 years. Both went on their own path and few years later he remarried.
Now they are in Taiping.
From her perspective, her father is "everything" and she loves him very much, what she wrote must have been stories as told by her father and mother of how they met, fall in love and raised their family.
Quietly I told myself.... Girl..there are plenty of things that you do not know about your father and mother. The UNTOLD stories. I wonder what was/were the reasons of their divorce !
I had a strong inclination to put up a comment on her blog, but on second thought I decided it is better to let it go. Let it rest and sleep in peace.
What a small world.

I wanna be free
Like life in a bottle
I wanna be free
To fly away
For pure fresh air
To feel the rain on my feathers
To a faraway land
And perhaps to circle that rainbow again ...!

Finally ... the end !
After Four years I finally managed to look at his pictures and feels nothing.
And it feels just great !
THE END OF LOVE
This is the end
Of a beautiful love between two people
Somewhere
Between the stars
Are memories of our love
Of warm sunlit evenings
Leisurely strolls
Down old country lanes
Of Tim Hortons coffee and muffins
A sit in the park
And quiet moments on the balcony
Alas
I didnt get to see the apple tree
That you promised to plant
For
These are gone forever
And I can only
Cherish the memory
And look past the stars
Into eternity
And see
A broken heart
behind a locked door
And it feels just great !

First of May
First of May always had been a day with sweet thoughts for me. An old movie and the song by Bee Gees always brings back memories.
But today time has changed. Many things had passed us by. Just another day to be observed. Looking at things and trying to understand all the "why" which I sometimes failed to understand whats in their thoughts.
A lady who is a close relative,having a not so responsible husband, struggling to make ends meet and bringing up four kids is not an easy task. I still wonder why there are guys who take things easy and dont bother about bringing up their kids the proper way.
Or maybe we have been "being there for them" all the time, so much so they are taking things for granted.
On this first of May, I wish that he would grow up and take responsibilities to be a good husband a father and having some respect where they are due.

Leaving sands behind

Do we still celebrate the New Year ?
Do we still celebrate New Year ? Not anymore.
Gone were the days when we waited for the clock to strike 12 at midnight.
Gone were the days of having a New Year's Eve feast and parties.
Gone were the days of putting up decorations and traditional rites to bring in the New Year.
I could still remember a friend who told me to get twelve numbers of different fruits and arrange them in a big bowl for good luck. Another would hang a bunch of grapes at the door.
Gone too are the sms on the mobile phones.
It was a very quiet evening for us. No fuss. Infact it went almost unnoticed. Just like another day in our lives. No particular significance.
I guess, time has changed. I have changed. Migrated.
Looking back things have turned around almost 360 since the past two years. Lots of water has gone under the bridge. Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and the skies.
Nobody cares nor talk about new year resolutions anymore. For we dont need the beginning of a new year to make new resolutions.
"Time" certainly had healed a few scratches. And in time, all would be gone with the wind.
For those that had touched my life, some have gone forever into nothingness, some had "Rest in Peace" in the shoe boxes, but a few had remain dear in my heart.
Happy New Year to everyone...!

Maal Hijrah - 1 Muharram 1430
First day of the Muslim New Year.
As usual it was celebrated with saying a prayer for the coming year. Hopefully it will be a year full of Blessings.
Wonder what Allah has in store for us all. One thing for sure, things are not looking too bright. Although we have to remain positive and think of that whatever happens, it happens for a reason(s)
Weatherwise, the weather has been gloomy since morning. But it is slightly better than the heat for the past week which was so dry. Its time to have that wonderful cup of tea.

Of a dream and renewed hope
Reading an article in the gulf news recently has given me a huge inspiration to my dying dreams. A middle aged grandmother made her teenaged dream of owning a harley came true. That after much hardships that she has gone through before she came to Abu Dhabi. Finally she got her dream machine and having a good life in Abu Dhabi.
We just will not know where the road takes us nor what it has in store at the end. Inspired. Inspired. Never lose hope.
Most of us dream, few of us pursue them and very few of us make them a reality.
Ramadhan came and gone. Eid was celebrated on a modest scale. There was simply not enough hours in a day to finish all the chores. No matter how I tried to schedule my hours, it seems endless. Everything screeming for attention at the same time.
The whole month was chaotic, in trying to prepare for iftar and reap the Blessings of Ramadhan. Our only hope is that we would see another Ramadhan.
Now that the holiday season is over, it is time to get back on the road again. Mend the fence and take care of my garden which has been abandoned for the whole of last month. Hopefully the mulberry tree will be fruits soon. All the seedlings that I planted would sprout hopefully, the orchids continue to bloom, and all the plants remains green.
Yesterday we were blessed with another four kittens. Mother and child(s) are doing great. Till she gets pregnant again.
Its now time too to enjoy the Raya cookies, they seem to taste better after the Eid.
It rained this evening, so it is a bit cool tonight.
With nice cup of hot tea for companion.
Now ... would there be a harley for me ?

Auld Lang Syne 2007
Every end of the year has always been kind of nostalgic for me. Remembering what had taken place on the very same evening four years ago. How could I ever forget ?
It was supposed to be ...
A life full of wonderful new developments.
The kind of year that brings out all the best within.
But things dont always seemed what is being predicted.
Joy turned to sorrow.
Love turned to hate.
Friends turn to foe.
It is a year that I would like to forget.
A bumpy ride on a dirt road with all the wrong turns ... !
But I survived it like a rag doll ...
And as the new year dawns tomorrow, my heart is still full of hopes ...
Of beautiful things ...
Of peace and contentment from within.
Of a life filled with good health, joy and happiness ...
Good Bye Two 007 ...

From the day we were born ...
Had a chat recently with a friend who was waiting for the result of a biopsy test. I was expressing my concern about his health and well being. The repercussion is great and if not treated it could lead to a lot of side effects. I was definitely worried.
But he seems to be taking it well... or he was able to hide his fear and taking it all in his strides.
He said.."From the day we were born...we start dying"
When I look back to what he has said...it occured to my mind that there is some truth in it. Although life begins and we journey through our lives...we are actually walking towards that inevitable end. Eventhough we do not know when or where it would end. Nor how much time we have to pursue all our dreams and enjoy what life has to offer.
But at the same time I would like to share another friend's more positive quote..."Each day we are closer to meeting our soulmate". This is for those who are still searching for the love of their live. So if one relationship breaks, there will be another coming along sooner or later. Waste not time dwelling in the past but to look forward to the future, although very uncertain, there could be a rainbow at the end. Just be prepared for the rain or storms.

WHO .......?
Who is blind ?
- The one that cannot see another world.
Who is dumb ?
- The one who cannot say a kind word at the right time.
Who is poor ?
- The one who is plagued with too strong desires.
Who is rich ?
- The one whose heart is contented.
- The one that cannot see another world.
Who is dumb ?
- The one who cannot say a kind word at the right time.

Who is rich ?
