Fasting Month

-
Fasting will commence tomorrow.  Tuesday, 2nd of September.

Whereas the 'rest' of the world starts fasting today.  I've never fast offshore before, and it's a good experience for me.  And it will be a challenge for me this time round.  Having a half marathon next month, I will have to train hard during the fasting period.  This also means that I might have to give Tarawikh prayers a miss.  Because I can't run before the breaking of fast like I did, two years ago.  I have a meeting to attend to at 5 p.m.  So that means, I will have to run after six, about half hour before the breaking of fast, which is good enough, at least I can replenish my body mid run.  After my run, I will need the rest and I couldn't eat just yet to let my body rest.  So my only time to eat will be at 9 p.m. 

And gawd, it's September already.  How time flies.  Oh by the way, my back-to-back has arrived already.  And according to my onshore bosses, he will replace me, which means, I will be his back-to-back.  So the likelihood of me being onshore most of the time is high.  So this mean that during Eid (Hari Raya AidilFitri), I might be onshore.  I seriously do not want that.  I want to be offshore.  So I have to think contingency now.   Am thinking to go Bangkok or Jakarta.  But that will ruin my training, because I will be running my race on the 12th October.  So I seriously wish that during Raya, I will be here offshore instead.

Perhaps the arrangement will be that my 'replacement' will agree to a rota for us to work on.  Maybe we'll have two weeks on and off.  But our off days we will need to be in the office.  But that is still in the process.  I'm not sure where this is going.  Oh the uncertainty is making me dizzy.  But whatever the decision is going to be, I will have to accept it.  

Accept, enjoy and be enthusiastic.  That all I need to do to enjoy my being.  Life is all thoughts and emotions.  Add the ego to it, and you'll be living your so-called life.  Life is much more that that, isn't it?  What is the reason of our living?  Exclude religion or other thoughts for a moment.  Just for a moment.  And ask yourself what is the reason for your life, your purpose of life.  To live.  So enjoy living I suppose, accept that the world is screwed up and be enthusiastic in whatever you do.  That's all.

Look at me giving advices.  Such a hypocrite, I can be...  So there's nothing much I can say except for... Until then, take care, be safe and Adios!

Random Rant, Update?

-
I don't know why. Here I am at 2.34am drinking left over "teh tarik" from today's open house at my parents. And decided all of a sudden that I wanna write something on my long abandoned blog. I have been clicking on the links that I have at the left side of my blog and it seems that most people have already abandoned their blog, by either cancelling them or not updating them.  I suppose it seems that writing a blog is no longer appealing and cool to some.  There are some that are still strong writing their rants. I am merely speculating, that now media is so easily discover-able that people are afraid to be on the accidental spotlight.  There have been few instances that blogs got discovered by their thoughts and suddenly everyone hates the writer.  And perhaps, again speculating that people are afraid to really say what is on their mind.  Naming and shaming is kindda "in" thing.  Especially with the freedom people can do with Whatsapp.  Just link it, yo

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o
