Time : a seemingly ever-changing constant.....

Ah, vacation time is here again for me...... time to relax and rejuvenate, "recharge the old batteries" so to speak.....

Speaking of time, do you ever realise that time itself seems to change, depending on your moods? But according to science, time is a constant. Now that's an oxymoron, isn't it?

For example, it's now been 2 years since we're married, but to my wife and I, it doesn't seem that long ago when the nikah ceremony took place. I guess when you're enjoying it, time does seem to fly past at warp speed.

By the way, I'm now sporting a new, short and spiky look haircut, courtesy of a longtime friend of mine, Farah. And my wife loves it. The problem is, it takes more time now than before to do my hair, making me feel like a metrosexual man (in other words : vain... heh!). Oh, and I need to find some hair wax too. The gel doesn't seem to work as well as the wax. But I like it, so this haircut probably will stay awhile. Now I just need to get Ben's (the hairstylist) mobile phone number, in case of hairy emergencies...... (pardon the pun!)

My son Wesley..... ain't he a cutie?

Been wanting to post this for a long time, but keep on forgetting to do it......

Here's a chronological piece on my son Wesley. God I miss him and my wife soooo much!!!

Wesley @ 3 months old

Wesley @ 10 months old

Wesley @ 15 months old with mommy

Wesley @ 17 months old

Wesley @ 24 months old with mommy on his birthday

Will post more pics of him soon...... 7 days to my long annual leave and counting......

A year older indeed, but a year wiser?

It's been almost a month since my last entry here. Nothing's new, apart from the fact that I'm more swamped with work then before. Life's began to feel like a neverending cycle of sleep, work, eat and repeat. So much so that this year, I will be a year older in a place away from my home and family due to work commitments. Oh well, let's make the best out of it and see what kind of reception I would get on that day.....

December is actually an eventful month for me. I was born, met my wife at UK during UKAS interview, went for our first date, got married, all in this month. Plus the fact that my father-in-law's birthday is also in this month (hmm, what should i get for him this year?).

A year older, yes. A year wiser? Probably, although I would attribute most of it to circumstances, instead of my own doing. Events relating to work, family, friends, strangers all contributed to one's wisdom. The trick is, IMHO, to take matters into perspective and take charge whenever possible and/or necessary. Otherwise, just ride on with the flow, but be aware of developments along the way and get ready to slip into action and/or bail to another alternative route. (my, my, getting rather philosophical aren't we?)

Speaking of bailing, time to go and gear up for another trip.....
