I should try and make it a habit to regularly write. 2023 should be a different year. The thing is could not find the right mood to do it – had tonnes of stuff on my mind. Actually, do I? Last Friday’s do took a lot out of me. We had some “high ranking” bosses in town on Thursday and Friday. I could swallow Thursday but Friday made me realize that there are things that I just can’t reconcile and be ok with. So by end of the day, I was exhausted and it took me the weekend to sort...

Its the third day of the new year. 2023 still hasn’t really sink in. Still trying to find the rhythm to start the new year on a higher note but honestly I’m still on holiday mood (that’s what I tell myself). But I then need to be fair to the world as even Ruzain already started his new year by going to school. Although not without his usual stunt of not sleeping; either as an act of rebellion or just anxious – really don’t know which is which anymore.  Of course I’m the usual casualty. Not even sure how many...

It’s the new year and how best to start it off by appearing on TV! Hahahaha! Of course it’s not something I expected to do on the morning for the first day of a new year – usually I would be sleeping in after Subuh to catch up on rest, waking up close to lunch.

I’m pretty sure Era Natasha had something to do with it but this time she mentioned she passed mine...

2022 has definitely been overwhelmingly – colourful. So many unexpected events happened, many I never thought I would experienced. Some good, some bad. Some overwhelming with emotions – heavy emotions. It took a lot out of a person who gave a lot out to the world, to feel things turning back on you was definitely not something anyone would look forward to. This had a lot to do with life at work. It actually started off pretty good, closing 2021 on a high note and stepping into 2022 all motivated. Come to think of it, it was probably too good...

Those close to me can vouch that I’ve been babbling about my intention to climb Mount Kinabalu numerous times in the past few months – been trying to find friends who would be willing to take on the challenge with me but thus far no one dare to commit. Why, why, why? View of Mount Kinabalu from Spring Garden, Kundasang @ 6.23am, 28 December 2022 It’s not that I haven’t climbed it before – in actual fact I’ve climbed in twice. Once back in 2004 (I think) with colleagues from my first work place – Malaysia National Insurance (MNI –...
