It makes me like following suit, but I have my personal reasons for doing so instead of going back to the old -fashioned diary writing.<br /><br />We are well into the month of January and I have yet to post something. There are so many holidays, and weddings to attend. Hope all is well with you, family and jobwise.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-72075905394487613852014-01-07T20:41:53.197+08:002014-01-07T20:41:53.197+08:00Salam Pakcik,

Anyway, 2013 was quite an eventful year for me, which included the trip to Trengganu and dropping by your place.

Would you please email me (almanar@pd.jaring.my) your blog. I wonder how I got tom younin the first place. I remember distinctly reading about Bintulu which brought back my memory to a place I first arrived by a 'mosquito' on a school playing field, before a proper runway was constructed, well before the arrival of MLNG. That was 50 yyears ago!<br /><br />Please oblige me.

Alternatively if you leave a few words in other people's comment box, they will not forget you. I do this as a matter of routine.

The bottom line is that, irrespective of our varied earnings, we have survived to build our family. But with introduction of VARIOUS TAXES in 2014, some of us may have to tighten our belts - but for how long? For us, all well above 72, we may survive but what of our children and grandchildren?<br /><br />We can only hope for the best with ALLAH’s blessing. <br /><br />Zul <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-24248665227532411412014-01-02T07:20:12.091+08:002014-01-02T07:20:12.091+08:00Kaykuala

Always the words of encouragement, words of reminder, words of love.<br /><br />The "waiting lounge" analogy hits my emotional nerve. Like in the movies, flashed in my mind scenes of people running across busy airports trying to catch their departing loved ones at the waiting lounge, to say goodbye before they board the planes leaving them behind.<br /><br />Until my next trip to see you both, imagine this scribble of mine like one rushing teenager, heart bursting with anxiety not wanting to miss the 'goodbyes', face glued to the glass wall of the waiting lounge, waving frantically to you both, lips synching those age old warm wishes; "i love you, happy new year and may you both be blessed".nwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348129124283899094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-51806103955223323472013-12-31T18:59:40.620+08:002013-12-31T18:59:40.620+08:00Salam pakcik,
