:: Too Much of Nothing ::

So, ummm… yeah, things have been a little quieter than normal with me (from blogging I mean), for a bunch of reasons. I haven’t been updating my web-based blog for eaeoeaoeaeoans. My friends over there mustav been wondering why the silence.

I spent two straight months organizing a seminar of 200 attendees (which was held last week). Being the committee wasn’t quite as what I’ve expected it to be. With too many domestics fallouts while I thought that it’d be minimally harder, it ended up draining me quite a bit more than that. In between that eight weeks I lost my cellphone somewhere in the house. Now that might sound odd. As Shah, my goodmatey, had this eerie idea that my phone might have been confiscated by my parents. Don’t ask why.

I was away on a one-day conference in KL a week before that, and on my way back from the conference I received a message from my mom thru my colleague’s phone saying that my pak long in Sepang passed away that very afternoon. I was already on my way back to Kuantan and was travelling with the Uni transport (go figure). The next morning the whole family had to travel to Sepang (we missed the funeral) and we came back the next day.

To add some spice to life, on the way back from Sepang, I’ve been out with a nasty flu-turned-fever-turned-sore throat-turned-cold-turned-cough, meaning less time for blogging.

With the seminar that was coming and also the visit of 40 people from Sudan all at once, and my favorite doctor had to ask if I had any contact with anyone that was coming from oversea (thank you very much doc!!), that worried me for days. With too many spine-chilling diseases on the news, breaking in our country, how can I be at peace?

If only I have a little time for myself.

  3. Yeah I knew it was you. Browse around then. Perhaps you'll absorb some inspirations. Of course I might have no luxury of time to reply all the comments if you're commenting on each post you've read in the archives. LOL. Thanks for liking my writings.
