This year’s December end is definitely a good New Year start as we celebrate our ‘Eid Adha before the Masihi new year. Yes, it is also a way to reflect upon our past deeds especially if we try to focus on the sacrifices we made the whole year of 2006. What have we done? Was it enough? Did the things we do make us better people? Events like this don’t come often. As much as we can, we appreciate it and fill it like there’s no tomorrow.
Everyone has a place to reflect upon their lives. It is not necessary to look back only during the last day of the year but as Muslims, we try to reflect each day before sleep. It differs from those who keep on living their days without wanting to make any effort of changing bad habits and attitudes. Congrats too, to my fellow peers who made their way to another phase of life as wives and some, as husbands. The coming year, the number is increasing.

Leading simple lives, I salute their inner and outer strength. While we are living like mad cows in a mad rush society, we learnt new things along the way, especially patience. While doing some house chores yesterday, I realised the fast pace in doing things when at that moment, I didn’t need such a quicky task. We work like robots that even doing leisure, we want things to be fast as we have been trained in such ways. When I decreased the rate I was working on, I appreciated more and enjoyed it. Sometimes, quality gets out of hand when quantity is much needed. Where’s the balance? We are imperfect after all. Good enough we have insufficient natural resources, and here we are destroying ‘em.
Being in KK, again, gave me the opportunity to grab the beauty of the Divine. A more relaxed society and thumbs up weather due to all our activities being outdoors. Away from homeland, we breathed in clean air. It was nice, that this ni’mah of no-rain weather accompanied us during our 3D2N stay despite the continous downpour back at home.
School term is starting soon in 3 days time. This last one week has been endless meetings stretched like office hours. With the upcoming needs and vision aligned for the coming year, my energy is surely to be pumped. It seems that I need to work smarter this time round as the services I am rendering might be to wits end. And it seemed that discovery of certain traits of me from colleagues have put me to places where I think, expectations might be high. Time to be back to the REAL world! Current tasks for the new year:
* Department: Back in MT department
* Service: Videographer/Photographer of sch
* Partners: Sch website
* CCA : Sc & Technology Club
Let us pray to a blessful year ahead! (I’m sure some individuals close to me look forward to the exciting year! *grins* ) Be the best that we can be and always hope that our aspirations and efforts will materialise in 2007!
Shahru Mubaarak!
