It’s Friday. A blessed day. Spending the day working from home – or at least doing work when something comes around. Work has been odd for the past few months where I’m involved in some of it and not the others, or come in between to be the “face” to face the music, then disappear again back to the background. Sidelines. I’ve learned through the series of incidents over the past half year to know better, it’s not worth to fight the current at where I am working now – I’ll keep the energy to do it where it is...

He would have been 75 years old today.  It has become a routine every time this year that I would naturally write about him, my late dad – Wan Ahmad Lotfi, fondly known to family and friends as Pi, Pak Wan or Pakcik. To me – he was daddy. I’ve always been a mama’s boy but I’ve always been told I resemble my dad a lot in many ways. As I grew older, I’ve come to realized there’s truth to these claims. We grew closer as I grew older – he wasn’t always around when I was growing up. But...

Today was the first working day of the year. I had initially planned to spent the whole day at the office but had to rearrange to spent the second half of the day from home – had to pick Ruzain up as the transporter couldn’t make it at the last minute. First thing at the office I was surprised to find out few big work arrangements had been made without my knowledge. Then again actually, it’s no surprise.  Later in the afternoon, similar incidents happened. Anyway, came to accept it. It has become a norm. Que sera sera. Good thing...

It’s the first day of 2024.  Started the day early at 12.00am (hahaha) trying to get Ruzain to sleep.  Finally got him to at 3.30am probably (didn’t really look at the watch). Considered a success given he slept at close to 12pm (yes it’s pm not am) on new year’s eve (and woke up at 2pm+ – life is never accurate when it comes to Ruzain). Slept back after Subuh and how else best to celebrate the new year sleeping in (hahahaha – it’s been this trend for the last two weeks of year end holidays). Come to think of it, Ruzain is actually reliving my teenage...

It’s been a while. Actually, it’s been too long. Last I wrote was back in June. I was contemplating on writing anything for the year end but then I thought to myself, I’m writing for myself anyway – not as if there are readers of my blog entries. It’s really just written thoughts that acts for various purposes – to capture a moment, jot random thoughts and sometimes as a reminder. I have mixed feelings of what this year end entry is all about. Let’s just tag it as a reminder for now. Truth be told, personally 2023 will always...
