eid mubarak

it has been a long long time since my last post...ramadhan has come and gone and already this is the third day of syawal. the third day. in between was the sept break (sept break already?!!! ) and common test marking madness...in approximately a month's time, the o levels will commence. too soon, the end of year vacation will descend and pretty soon it'll be 2010 before we know it! but i'm jumping ahead of time!

must always remember not to count the days BUT to make the days count...

every eid the same routine prevails as if etched in stone but i'm wondering if there is room for negotiation. there are some very good routines i'm all for but some i feel should be discarded. the problem with routines is that some lose their significance and what is needed could be changes - changes for the better of course. i find as the years go by, i seek more meaningful interchanges, transactions with the people i come in touch with even if only briefly. i really don't want to waste my time on meaningless transactions because time is very precious. still, it takes time to persuade our significant others to the changes we know should take place and i guess i will drop hints now and then until the idea sits well with him...
