Well..we'll soon be saying our goodbyes to 2010. Lots of things havent been accomplished although I wanted to very much. Just didnt have the energy and guts. What a lame excuse.
No use crying over spilled milk. Should have been more careful or rather should have drank the whole bottle of milk so that it didnt get spilled !

MERRY CHRISTMAS
December 25th 2010,
Today, after so many years I let myself feel the mood of Christmas again. It is so nostalgic, listening to those Christmas songs. Memories keep flowing back, as if they were all 'yesterdays'.
Shopping and the Orchard Road's light up, Christmas with friends, Christmas gifts, Christmas deco ...Christmas holidays are the best time of the year. Or at least it used to be. Once upon a time.
But all that has changed. Time has passed. I am now at a different time zone, different wave. All I have is a memory of those wonderful time.
Something ... Someone ... So Near yet So far Away !

AIDILFITRI
AidilFitri this year falls on a friday, thus it is a bit more special. Although the weather has not been too kind since the morning. It drizzled for a bit a continued to be gloomy. The sun refused to shine. Which reminded me again of Eids celebrated in the winter months. Back then Eid was not as merry and joyous as we were away from our family and the culture was different. We got to taste the ketupat at the embassy open house, meeting fellow countrymen and catching up for a bit and trying to have some small talks just to be nice to people. If you know what I mean, how some of the Malaysians when they are residing overseas. After the meals we would end up having coffee at starbucks and shopping at Seef Mall or take a walk along the corniche.
Now that I am home, I missed those days as much as I missed celebrating Eid in Malaysia.
This year, the second year of celebrating Eid without my mother. The Ramadhan which is supposed to be a Blessed and special month, came and went, with a mixed feeling of loss, regrets and relief. Too much work around the house with too little help is a huge burden. Sacrifice is the word. Life is not easy. To balance things while keeping sane. Hope to get all my energy back and soon to continue with my daily routine.
EID MUBARAK to everyone. May we live to see the next Ramadhan. Good health, plenty of happiness and wealth for each day to come. Maaf zahir batin.
