Load of Staff

…or staves. Nay, that’s plural for staff, which is what I do not want to mention in this post. Stuff, to be exact.

Earlier this week I have been getting loads of to-be-done thingies. And didn’t I mention getting married is one helluva big stuff I am yet to believe I am going to be having one day? Yes, getting married is not easy. The procedures, God, is so unbelievably numerous! Fill this and that form, get signature from the Ketua Kampung, et cetera, et cetera.

I mean, yeah, look at us. We barely manage to manage our own selves. No, not us. ME!

But, heck, these are a one-off procedure, so I’d better step carefully and try to do my best. I would even want to think to enjoy being busy while it lasts.

Morning News Flash

Believe it or not, once I arrived at school this morning, first thing I noticed was that my laptop was not shut down for two effing days!

And… to my delight, Starcraft II has finally completed downloading. Yea, I know, don’t be an ass, it’s kinda late to play the game at this time of the year — what, being released for almost a year and me going to be a husband at the end of the next two months.

But, what the heck, I cannot say I could leave games. Not even after I became a husband. Besides, N said I could even play it after our marriage, but not without her presence. Lol.

p/s: Oh, right, did I just mention her initial? N stands for Nurul. So, yes, don’t think otherwise.

It was raining earlier this morning. Fresh! It has been a long time since it rained.

A new day. Yet the same old schedule: teaching. Wishing something cool to happen today.

Oh yes, the past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.

The Few Next Months

What will I be in the next few months? A new man? A new person?

Perhaps. Or perhaps just the same old chap with a new sidekick. Wait, a sidekick is for a hero. I am no hero, so there’s no use getting a sidekick. Lol.

Today marks the day of my failure. I fail to deliver a short story to be published together with several other writers from Egypt. Two short stories, two be exact.

I have never been good at organizing things my way. I always am in a mess. Maybe after the next few months, I will be changing this habit. Or be changed.

O yes, change is good, says Rafiki the wise old baboon from The Lion King. Indeed, and change is what I want in this life. Change to be a better person. A better son. A better teacher. A better servant of Allah.

And pray that I will eventually be a good husband and father.

Fingers crossed.
