trace my ancestry
Looking backwards to look forward. 10 months ago

It is always a heart-warming experience to trace your ancestry especially if you have the chance to actually meet them.

I started working on our family tree even before my father passed away. I know it will be very difficult but I never thought it will be more difficult than that.

However, with perseverance, I know I will achieve my goals one day. I have seen many out there who succeeded in tracing their ancestries under more difficult circumstances. I will draw inspiration from their stories and examples.



Visit Jordan
Petra and the Dead Sea especially! 10 months ago

I have always dreamed of visiting Jordan. i a msure it will happen soon! I almost travelled to Jordan in 2008 but things didn’t fall into place and most of my travel plans in 2008 got shelved. i hope 2009 would be different.

The Jordan in my mind is basically Petra and the Dead Sea but I will definitely try to go around.

I will also try to enjoy local Toastmasters Club in Jordan. ;)



stop smoking
I know smoking will kill me someday. 10 months ago

I can’t even remember when I started smoking but I remember when I first seriuosly considered stopping. There was a “smoking cessation” contest in Bahrain. I thought it would be a good motivator for me to stop smoking. I did! Even after the contest, I have not returned to smoking. That was 2006. Sometime in May, 2007, I just found myself lighting a stick and here I am still smoking since.

But this had to stop soon. And when I do stop, I will make sure I will not touch and light a cigarette again.
