Today, I decided to activate my blog which has been kept dormant for almost six months. For today is a significant day in some part of my life. I'll try to keep writing, writing anything that comes to my mind, those bits and pieces, those scattered bits and pieces... get them together... and march forwards.
Today 8 Zulhijjah 1429, at this very hour, some 1.5 millions people will start their journey, which might be their very first or their very last journey to Arafah. People from every corners of the world regardless of colors and creeds will make their journey, 15km to the east of AlHaram AlMakkah AlMukarramah, to the plain of Arafat, all in white ehram robes, all in one voice... Labbaikallah humma labbaik, Labbaika laa syarikala kalabbaik, InnalHamda, WanNi'mata, LakawalMulk, Laa syarikalak. For tomorrow 9 Zulhijjah, is the Day of Wukuf and the next day 10 Zulhijjah, EidulAdha.
Today, some 15 years ago, I was among the people who made the journey.

Today 6 December 2008, Saturday, a massive landslide occured somewhere in Ampang, at Bukit Antarabangsa, burying some 15 houses and taking few souls. Some 15 years ago (in 5 days time), at the same Bukit Antarabangsa, an apartment block collapsed, killing scores of dwellers.
Today, some 15 years ago, I was among the people who kept vigil over the tragedy.
I do not wish to write much for this very first posting.
