hi i am back

i have not written for quite sometime... for what ever reasons; and for what ever reasons this has been a hectic year for me.. annus horriblis(i m not quite sure about the spelling and i don't bother to check it) ... i was sidetracked at the office for promotion, my career was in a rut, i got two kids sitting for big exams this year... on the other hand, i got a handsome bonus this year of which i use them among other thing for me to convert myself into an Apple user... yes, i am writing this with mac book air! i did lasik to my eyes and to be liberated from seeing the world behind glasses after 31 years is just awesome... To make more sense to my life i started to run again and i found it has a therapeutic effect to the soul. i entered and finished my first road race in maybe 20 odd years, running the macD olympic fun run 7km. did it in less than 58 minutes!. i enjoyed it so much that i am planning to a) enter a marathon 2 years from now and b) run my age group time to qualify for Boston. and by the way i did my stress test and i am ok. my total cholesterol is the lowest in the last 3 years... my best ramadan ever.... in a way i do feel rejuvenated for whatever reasons and i thank Allah for everything . 'Surely with difficulty is ease.With difficulty is surely ease.' surah Al Insyiraah, ayat 5-6
