Give and you will get

Give and you will get. The Quran says it (Al Baqarah 261) People who has experienced it in real life are saying it. Simply said, smile and you will be smiled at. So, why are we waiting for. Give....give...give. Give away what you can. They will definitely come back, seven hundred times more!

Good times ahead

Although some people are still skeptical, it looks like the economy is showing real signs of recovering. All over the world, horror economic stories are getting less and less. Some big bankruptcies are still happening but overall, the sentiment is one of optimism. I dare say by the end of the year, smiling faces will once again smile on you.

You'll never guess

Water has a way of making the heart feels cool. Perhaps the calmness that it projects causes the heart beat to slow down considerably. It makes you feel relax, peaceful and at the same time, invigorating. So next time you feel in need of a clear mind, find water.

A Saturday of events

What a busy Saturday it was! Early in the morning we (the wife and me) took Hanafi to the Damansara Specialist centre for a check up. Apparently, he is feeling some pain in his right leg that wouldn't go away. After a scan and X ray, some cracks were seen but nothing serious. All he needs is a few months of rest and he should be okay.
Then I found that my glasses were missing from my pocket while at the hospital. Must have dropped out somewhere without me realising it. On the way back home, stopped by at the Store shopping complex in Sg Buloh to quickly make a new one.
Later in the evening, we had a wedding to attend. By the time we got back, it was already almost midnight.
What a tiring Saturday it was!

Celebrating a year of blogging

Without realising it, I have actually clocked a year of blogging. When I first started, never thought I would reached this milestone. All I wanted was a vehicle where I can write anything I want to write. Whether there are people reading them or not, it does not matter to me. I just want something where I can put my thoughts into words. Since that quiet start, I have published more than 250 times.
Looking back, the articles make nice readings sometime.

Another whirlwind trip

This time to Alor Setar. Drove up on Wednesday, stayed overnight, attended a half day function the next day and drove home immediately after wards. This is the last one and hopefully it is. When I was younger, I made many such kind of trips without feeling tired but nowadays, the body is not quite that strong anymore. Sign of old age I suppose.

One more!

Roger Federer finally got his grand slam no 14. Now he is equal to Sampras in the number of grand slam won. Not only that, with the win at the French open, he is now a member of that special club of players who have won all the grand slam at least one and there are not many of them. You can count them on your fingers. It looks certain now he will surpass Sampras and win his no 15.... 16...17. and so on.
