Are you an observer or an observee?
Saturday, January 20th, 2007Yes, I made that word up. It doesn’t exist - I checked.
I’ve noticed that some people stay in the background and are sensitive to their surroundings. They watch quietly; your bronze polished nails, your tattered bag, your scratched Chanel shoes, how you eat your food with large mouthfuls, the scaly condition of your skin, how […]
Protected: Putting ink to paper….keyboard to screen
Saturday, January 20th, 2007In researching for my book (which I have been commissioned to write and because I was selected amongst local journalists, is really not a big deal to me), I have been thinking a lot of about writing. Writing styles, the use of language, expressions, thoughts behind a writer etc.

The Kingdom of Bahrain through the eyes of 1 Mom
Friday, January 5th, 20071. The only public form of transport is expensive taxi. A 5 kilometre journey costs RM50.
2. There are no pedestrian pavements and even if there were, I wouldn’t be caught dead walking on them with maniacal drivers on the loose.
3. Apartments are costly and it doesn’t get any cheaper the further out you go. […]
Resolution #1 - 2007
Monday, January 1st, 2007OK - I’ve thought about it. My first resolution for the year has to be working hard.
Working hard enough till I can implement my invention of the T-1703 MUM - every mothers’ dream machine. The T-1703 MUM is the latest user friendly device of the milenium that will help mothers globally maintain control of their […]
