Back in the crowd

View from my office at 5.30pm. The jam is building up. Its either you leave your office now or wait. The wait can be two to three hours later when the jam clears.

Readjustment

Now that I'm working again, I have to readjust my body to suit the requirement. Waking up early is not a problem cause I have been doing that even when not working. Its getting used to the traffic jam, not able to sleep during daytime, no time for exercise, having to attend meetings, preparing memo etc etc. It will take some adjusting for sure. The thing I missed most is going to the mosque for prayers, five times a day. I enjoyed that but now I have to miss it. Anyway, life is like that. The unexpected happens when you least expected it. No matter what, I forever remain grateful to Allah Insha Allah.

Why do people work?

Suddenly, out of the blue, I'm back working! A few weeks ago I was asked if I'm willing to work again. I said let me give some thought to it first. After all, almost two years into retirement, I am still very much enjoying the life I'm living now. Its a great way to live, not having to work. However, somehow I found myself saying yes to the question. After that, things moved very fast so much so that within a few days, I find myself back in the workforce. Why do people work? To earn a living! Me? I guess its much the same.

At a wedding

At the wedding of the son of one of our University of Surrey mates held in Keramat. Met many old university colleagues and office mates. Pity couldn't stay long cause I had another wedding to attend. Besides, Akid was getting restless. Would have love to stay longer, catching up on old friends. Maybe some other time!

Managing time

Another two days have gone without me looking at my blog. Funny come to think of it. I am not working nor am I on to some short term project or what but still, I couldn't find the time to look at my blog. Can't remember what actually I have been doing the past few days that have been keeping me away. On Saturday, I went to a few weddings. On Sunday I went jogging. On Monday I went for my Arab class. That's it. These activities don't take much of my time away! But why didn't I blog? That's why I guess managing time is very important. Otherwise it will slip away just like that. Before you know it, you are already sixty plus!

And so will......

The coming election is going to be an interesting one. The very fact that the PM has not called for an election up till now clearly shows that he has not been able to find a suitable date thus far. Say what you want but he just couldn't find that window when he can comfortably call for an election knowing assuredly that BN will win. That elusive window never came because a Pakatan win looms everytime.  Now he has been driven closer and closer to the wall. That element of surprise is gone forever and so will BN.

Wow

I thought the new year has just started but today we are already on the second day of the second month. Wow! I thought I didn't publish anything for just a day but its two days already in actual fact. Wow! That's how time moves. If you procrastinate, it makes things worse. Before you knew it, its already a week gone, or a month gone, or even a year gone. Life in this world is short, no matter how long you live. I thought it was not too long ago when I was a teenager but today, I am already a senior citizen. Wow!
