To Wake Up Before The Long Sleep – 4th December 2024

Were you true to yourself? Did you honour your dreams?
Did the choices you made mean what it means?
Did your daily bread fulfil all your desires?
Do you have time left to enjoy what inspires?

Did you suppress your thoughts to keep the peace?
Are you bitter withholding, without any release?
Is there anyone left now to hold your hand?
Were friendships gone what you had planned?

Now you’ve concluded happiness is a choice
But it’s too late now for your youth to rejoice
Your life had possibility, as good as it gets
Your heart is aching with these dying regrets

We got that attitude! – 29th February 2020

I am so happy and grateful for Epit taking the time and effort to drive me around KL and to take care of me on this visit.

Regrets are only regrets if you haven’t learned something from them.

To-do list

  • Talk with Talib and Thiban about plans ✅
  • Talk with Sikin about tapes ✅
  • Stay positive – enjoy the friendships of the living ✅
  • Savour the tahlil and Kimi’s memory ✅

Everyone here is so lovely and friendly. I really like it and I love to visit but it is strange not to see Kimi. I keep imagining he will suddenly appear.

Sikin seems to be doing ok but I’m not sure when she’s by herself. Epit and Aelin’s kids are fun and I hope they have enjoyed having me around.

Tonight I just found out that I won’t be able to go back to school due to the virus and a new law enacted that stops people who have been in Malaysia from going out for 14 days on return. This is kind of good news though I’m guessing I won’t be getting paid. Hopefully, I can treat it like a bonus holiday and I still have the online teaching to do.
