. . . its freezing . . .

assalamualaikum

i was like a common Asian from a tropical country, who longed for snow. always wondering how beautiful it is when it snows... all white and pure... surely fluffy and gentle, promising an idea of making a snow angel on a bed of thick snow. i longed to get into snow gear and go skiing gracefully in the mountains as well as making a fat snowman and throwing snowballs at my friends, laughing.

reality? eff it. eff that and eff the friggin' snow. effing hell its cold!

okay okay so it spoils your idea of a white winter. you may curse me for ruining your imaginations but let me tell you this, consider it an advanced notice and advice. when they say its cold and windy (and also its in the minus eg. -5... -10) brace yourself with warm clothes, especially wind breakers (any clothing that can repel the wind).

5 minutes walking through the snow and wind is like walking through thorny bushes. not pretty. yes of course you can still make snow angels, play snowballs... but come on. get your common sense on. you can tell between a good winter day and a bad winter day. so don't take my words as pure judgement. i can be wrong too but in this case, in this moment of time, the weather is just unforgiving for those who do not heed to warnings.

assalamualaikum this is the 3rd time that i (will) change my modems as well as the TV box. now for those who wants to know, Switzerland by far is dominated by Swisscom, one of the largest telecommunication provider. theres quite a few but this is probably the most promoted company. in my limited knowledge, theres also UPC Cablecom (which boasts cheap and REALLY fast internet... but bad customer services), Orange... yeah. i think thats it. theres of course more but those 3 are the common ones i encounter when it comes to connectivity. i started out with another provider (prepaid) before slowly venturing to postpaid as well as internet (internet came a bit later since the first apartment i stayed in had no way of installing your own internet as they already have one pre-installed and you had to buy monthly credits from the company who owned the building... sort of a hotel apartment). hence it was quite a while for me to get into the real deal. after having a postpaid line for

. . . tough times ahead . . .

assalamualaikum we are coming into the 6th day of Ramadhan (1439/2018). so far so good. missed one day (not accidental) as my heart turned dark that particular day. still, compared to last year, this is probably the farthest i have gotten to so far. both the girls, mama bear and baby bear snoring sweetly and myself, pondering on every ponders that are pondered and pondered as per my usual self ponders when pondering the ponders pondered. my head and shoulders feel heavy as the days come passing by. the sentence reverberates in the deep bowels of my mind: the older, the more responsibilities. probably i mentioned before but its best to say it again. for my own sake and probably yours (if you choose to ponder my ponders): life doesn't come with a manual guide. i like the malay saying too: "rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain". altho nowadays its better said that all hairs and hearts are different. minds... minds are on a different level. i seem to land myself in dif
