http://opalinedew.blogspot.com/2011/02/will-be-missing-them-very-much.html
Clinging for a short spell. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Will be missing them very much. I will always treasure this little face. Cheeky smile, radiant eyes, beautiful dimples…. His name is ARS. His father – a Ph.D student whom I co-supervise. His father S, has just passed his viva with flying colours, Alhamdulillah…. What is so special about ARS, his father, his mother and 2 other siblings? No oil, no frying. Just baked, boiled or prepared fresh…. Getting a job here in Malaysia? And so, it is with great...

Hues of dewdrops: A touching email..
http://opalinedew.blogspot.com/2009/07/touching-email.html
Clinging for a short spell. Thursday, July 23, 2009. I was skimming through the tons of emails that poured in. All of a sudden, my eyes rested on this email. Really touched my heart. Never have I felt so elated. As a writer, one feels very happy if what one has written can create an impact on somebody else’s lives or change reader’s mind set. All praises be to Allah. Thank you for making my day. (I am giving the English version, freely translated from the Bahasa Melayu version). I have replied to this si...

Nearly like one.Taman Negeri Bukit Panchor, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang. SignALS (Signs of Allah From Science) Programme. A highway of huge ants.making their way across the grounds.a giant millipede which curled up as my feet nearly stepped on it, while getting the necessary stuffs from the boot of my car. 8221; one of the merry men roared with laughter. Thank God that al...

Hues of dewdrops: ............................Hello! I am back!
http://opalinedew.blogspot.com/2014/02/hello-i-am-back_22.html
Clinging for a short spell. Saturday, February 22, 2014. It has been such a long time…really! Actually, I went into hibernation…to pen a new book then…to transform a Ph.D thesis of a student of mine whom I co-supervised, into a book that a man on the street would be able to digest. The manuscript was completed in about 4 months. However, all the ding-dongs took a whole lot longer…and I was on the verge of despair…. Then, I vowed that I would not update my blog until I get the book published. Clinging on ...

Clinging for a short spell. Saturday, February 9, 2008. Seindah Dafodil (Beautiful Daffodils)…inspirational fiction…. This book was based on my own experience living alone, far away (at the city of Calgary, Canada) for 3 months under the sponsorship of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the year 1993. 8220;Don’t you think that you are being unwise? 8221; said the officer behind the counter. 8220;Why do you say that? 8221; I asked, a bit disturbed. When I arrived at the Calgary Airport, only the kind pro...

Hues of dewdrops: The Last Thesis
http://opalinedew.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-last-thesis.html
Clinging for a short spell. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. This will be the last Ph.D thesis that I will be marking as an Examiner.will be calling it a day after 34 years with the department, with this university. Am very glad. Indeed! Good theses are hard to come by. Throughout my years as an academic and scrutinizing these thick compositions, those that are a pleasure to read.are only a handful. Part and parcel of being a good supervisor for one's own postgraduate student is to ensure that, during the writ...

Clinging for a short spell. Tuesday, January 22, 2008. Serenity…those vivid purple hues. The sweet soothing scent…the calming, cosy feeling. How can one ever forget? Love your families. Love your parents too. Think twice before doing anything that may hurt their feelings. For they are the ones who provide you with comfort and are there for you through thick and thin. The prayers invoked by us as children are precious treasures. It is therefore incumbent upon us to constantly make supp...In Islam, the fam...

Clinging for a short spell. Monday, March 17, 2008. Puteri Salsabila.(Princess Salsabila).a folk tale. This is my first attempt to write a story that is purely based upon my own imagination and which has an air and sense of adventure, swaying the words in the malay semi-classical style. Reminds me of 'Syair Siti Zubaidah'. March 23, 2008 at 7:15 AM. Dear Kak Norma,. I have heard of that but havent really delved into it. Maybe I should try to find out! Thank you kak Norma for your kind words! Because the ...
