. . . ASFD 2012 . . .

assalamualaikum

Totally occurred without realization that it already has been a year since the 2011 ASFD. As usual, my lazy self offered to join the most simplest of matches compared to the rest that is being arranged for this years' games.

I do admit I hatefully love the game, the fact that i can learn different meanings of new words that always are created in Scrabble. To those who have difficulties in English, I really do recommend getting a Scrabble board game to play with your friends and family to fully motivate your brain cells on learning the language. It is a slow and excruciating process (trust me, its not even close to trying French... or any other languages that are foreign to us) but most definitely, i prefer understanding the language before even attempting to speak it. thats just my way of learning, or rather, following closely to my fathers' teachings.

I managed to bag myself a Gold medal (yes, surprising... even for myself). It turned out that not many participants came and (to my advantage) most of the top-notch players have left Geneva to pursue or move up the chain of work in their respective countries. The silver medal went to our very own Puan Aminah (wife of the Brunei Ambassador), Congratulations!

I lost in the first round... wasn't in my pool-manic-mode this year

The same goes to bowling...

I haven't much will to win anything this time around. Maybe next year insyallah. And definitely i'll still hunt for a win on Scrabble.

wassalam

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
