sitting in a room full of strangers...again. This time in Dubai. flipping through passports, excitedly talking over the phone, small chats where among the many things that is happening in waiting lobby. yes, this is almost the end of my egypt journey. it has been quite an emotional,spiritual and mental roller coaster ride for me. physically it was errr, just the same.

I got many parting words. all equally appreciated but its those people whom i just met in this trip and the chances of us meeting again almost none are the ones that gets me thinking. Its those relationships that i forged through the brief months i was here that may be there is more love here than in Singapore. lets put family out of this one.

"you are not only a friend, you are my brother", said my egyptian friend, Mahmoud. I will definitely miss him. I pray that he and Marina can visit Singapore someday.

Having said that, im starting to feel that i may be getting soft. I rarely form these bonds so quickly knowing that someday soon, we'll part ways. But really,its their warm hospitality, very kind and generous words and ACTIONS that may have led me to lower my guard down.

If that makes me a better Muslim, why not?

The final hour. Sweet. I was thinking that I was going to get a tight squeeze in my chest,but I feel just fine,Alhamdulillah.

Meal on board has not been the most apetising. Im not sure if it was the meals or was it just me. hmm. Just had breakfast or lunch im not sure as the plane has past through several time zones. kinda cool actually. hehe.

Well, this is almost it. Whether or not I feel afraid or anxious about the responsibilities im picking up, it still is going to come. so, lets take it one at a time. sayyy 'wooooooooooo,saaaaaaaaaaaaa' breathing technique laa.

Actually, im kinda frustrated not feeling anything. tskk.Oh well, the plane hasnt landed. so, I dont really know. Maybe im a last min feeler. Haha.

Its time to make more prayers ^_^

Assalamualaikum!

Its been awhile. This is definitely a personal blog. It gives me a lot of strength to write and reflect on things that has impacted my life in one way or another.

So, this is an opportunity for me, as I write, to remind myself first and may be, if any, the people reading this nothing-much blog site ^_^
