... my father and my mother first taught me when I was in junior highschool and again when I was in high school, I even got my driver’s licence back in my college years. And then one day I lost that car driving ability after not driving for several years. So now I want to re-learn how to drive and drive well, including how to park well. :)

I had always wanted to study abroad...
15 months ago
... and alhamdulillaah, I finally got what I wished. I received a full scholarship to study in the Netherlands. I took a master’s program in International Air and Space Law in Leiden University in 2004 and graduated in 2006 with a cum laude. Alhamdulillaah. It was both a blessing and an amanaah.
I want to get married
15 months ago
with a man who loves me because he loves God, who accepts me for what I am, who cares for me and our children, who is honest, trustworthy, respects himself and others, can carry himself well in the society, doesn’t commit corruption or adultery, likes to work, shares my principles, goals, and worldview. That’s just the gist of my long list. Heheheh. I want to get married before I turn 35. I hope. And that is about 1.5 years from now.
