Everyday is a special day

Like many of my friends who had attended the same high school (http://sekolah.mmu.edu.my/smkmunshiabdullah/), I used to write a weekly reflection during my secondary school period. It was a homework- sometimes it was just a "burden", but it has trained me to write and to perform constant self-reflection. After years, I realized that those homeworks have become an artifact of my teenage life.

I used to "blog" two years ago, then I stopped since the MBA study in MIP Politecnico di Milano (www.mip.polimi.it/en) consumed more than 24 hours a day.

I moved again recently, into a new location (Reading, UK) and a new job. Even though this is the 5th or 6th move in the past 8 years, everytime I move, I still can't stop feeling sad. However, the excitement of new friends, new things, new culture, new groceries in the shelfs of the supermarket, etc soon replace the sadness. But, it doesn't mean I have forgotten the past and the friends that I have encountered in the past.

CH was in London and we talked about the past. After years of divergence in route, now we cross path again in this part of the world after our previous project assignment back in 2002.... (Pirata, Shamima, Indah- I wish you were here with us again!) Then, Indah wrote few days before the new year. LE called and we had a nice chat. Then, I met Fredy on-line after a long while......It is just so amazing.

In the past few weeks, many memories just flash into my mind... I am feeling lucky, and contented.

The "poor" life but yet "la vita dolce" in Italy (Milano, Cinque Terre, Ischia, Capri, Bologna, Firenze, Rimini, etc)....Summer in Cres.... Nice....Cote d’Azur ...Eze.... Monte Carlo....Class 2.7.....Sunday morning swimming sessions.....Coffee and Tiramisu in DOME KLCC....Ericson Cafe...EMC....Processes and Procedures...Cyberjaya....SCC...Friday long lunch... Cyberview Lodge.....Pasar Malam...Dim Sum....Bangkok....Houston....Westheimer.... San Felipe..... VW Beetle... Porsche.... Foutainview.....Napa Valley...Rod Stewart...San Franciso...New York... Las Vegas... Monument Valley.....New Orleans.... Miami....Disney Land...SDC1 in KL.... Technical Consulting....Cisco... Checkpoint.... PKI.... Schlumberger..... UM..... Physics.... 3rd College.... Melaka.... Munshi.... STPM...Wen Hua..... Batu Berendam....

From now on, I want to share with all of you bits and pieces that excite me in my life through this space. If I haven't written or if I have called in the past few years or even if I am not going to do so in the next few months or years, it doesn't mean that I have forgotten all the moments and memories that we have shared in the past.

Are you there?
