My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • On January 9th, I was lucky enough to attend the wedding party of a former colleague and friend in Japan. We started working together in 2006 and I count him amongst my friends whom I miss from the days of KUIS. It was a small gathering, but close and quaint as we caught up with each other and could share in the joy of Scott & Noriko starting their life together. Truly, I…

  • In all my life, I’ve wanted to be as I am with you – Just me. In all my life, I’ve wanted to share as I do with you – Just me. In all my life, I’ve wanted to love as I’m loved by you as just me. -T~February 8, 2010

  • Sometime in December, my friend – Shu – sent me a call for entries to a competition in the local newspaper to win a lesson with Rafael Nadal and tickets to the semi-finals of the Capitala Tennis Championship happening at the end of the year. Thinking that it never hurts to enter a contest, I SMS’d in my answers to the contest question and promptly forgot about it. One afternoon about a week…

  • January was our long holiday between semesters, so I was off on the planes again. My family decided to meet in Hawaii this year for our first all-family vacation in years. It was a fantastic week spent together! After I left them, I headed to Malaysia for about a week with a stop in Kuala Lumpur and most of my time spent in Kuching, Sarawak on the Malaysian part of the Borneo island.…

  • Slowly, but surely, the catching up is happening. 😀 Christmas this year was a bit of a mix of emotions. Some personal stuff was going on and I was extremely homesick as it just doesn’t feel like Christmas when the weather is warm and the only Christmas cheer is that of commercialism – everything I hate about what Christmas has become. Being with family and those I love is what this holiday means…

  • A year ago I was starting an adventureA year ago I was buzzing with the unknownA year ago I was longing for what I was leaving behind Then, the year passed in a blurThe year passed with great perplexionThe year passed with the future always unsure Now, somehow the world is spinning a little slowerSomehow life here is a little less annoyingSomehow my reasons for being here are a little clearer To get…

  • Passion and comfort Excitement and stability Spontaneity and consistency Newness and trust Balances to be made and found Bringing my ideals to the ground Of reality Is it too much to want it all? Is it too much to refuse to fall Victim to hope’s demise? Surely there must be a compromise…. -T ~January 20, 2010

  • What happened to my dreams,Where I used to imagine were in the clouds? What happened to my faith,Where I used to see His face in the clouds? What happened to my voice,Where I used to speak and sing to the clouds? What happened to the joy,Where I used to find in the clouds? -T~written in December, 2009

  • The words echo throughout the townEn masse the people stop to pray Where has the voice gone?
From whence does it come? Do they all believe in the call?Will these boys become men if the time came for them to standfor honor, country and Islam? Amidst the words, the voices, the prayersWhere am I?Where do I stand?
Where is my Father, Lord of all? -T~written in December, 2009

  • Yes, it is already February…and I’ve yet to post events from the end of the year. 2009 ended and 2010 started with a big bang and chaos, but now that it out of the way leaving smooth sailing for the rest of the year. 😀 (One can hope!) My next few posts will be an attempt to update on what’s been going on the past couple of months…. I’ll start with the FIFA…
