I was running late yesterday. Late for the usual morning bus to get to work. So I had to take the cab to work instead. That was purely my fault.

Alola very tired. Too big for his bed.
Our family pet, Alola, had left us for good months ago.
Wifey named it Lola at first, thinking it was a female but changed it to Alola, to a more musculine-sounding name after my elder Sis' visit to our home one day and found out that she was a he.
Nonetheless, the very quite cat responded still to the sudden name change, since it almost sounded about Muhd Imranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13434293882529251438noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034927457410489005.post-68959583976816232212011-09-24T07:00:00.000+08:002011-10-15T23:16:18.731+08:00Time For Me
Wow! Where do I begin?
I have not been here as often as I should. I have not updated anything as frequently as my life passes me by... maybe a little too fast for me to catch up and reflect or narrate. Maybe just too many distractions, with other stuff, with other electronic interfaces.
