A New Story from Hackthorne19

Hi Everyone.. I just started my Blogit 'walk' with Hackthorne19 and guess what?? There's a new story! I'll see how it's going to be.. Sign in to see full entry.

Human senses

Human senses are really amazing.. The first time I realised this was the first time I went on a night-time hiking as a part of beginner Search and Rescue training. I was still in junior high school at that time. I think I have once wrote about my first hiking experience when I slipped down a hill.... Sign in to see full entry.

Me and Yemen

My husband's project in Muscat, Oman was completed 2 months earlier than planned, so we were getting ready to leave Muscat earlier too. Fortunately, an offer arrived at the same time. This time it was a project in Sana'a, Yemen. At first, my husband was not sure about moving us there, as he heard... Sign in to see full entry.

A simple but true lesson..

I'm sorry for delaying my promised post about my favourites in Sana'a, Yemen.. Tonight I was just laying in bed, putting the boys to sleep and a very wise word from the past came to my mind. I'm sure that many of you have experienced in your life when you met someone (not a family) that you don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you..

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and wishes.. This endless circle of flu is a complete nuisance, but we are slowly getting better (combination of hot weather + sudden rain is not really supporting the recovery, I must say!).. So, to all of you.. take good care.. eat and sleep well, take... Sign in to see full entry.

One-two days off

My husband is really having a bad run of flu and cough the last few months (glad it's not swine flu), and it's always accompanied by allergy (the weather has been very hot and dry around here).. I kept hoping I don't get it, but, the fact that both kids have got it now, it is just inevitable for me... Sign in to see full entry.

Flashes of Oman

1. The Wrong Kit Kat After staying in Muscat for a little bit over a month, I finally had a nanny for Ariq. She was previously working for the family next door (who owned the house we rented). At the same time, my husband started taking Arabic lessons. One night, when my husband was going to his... Sign in to see full entry.

Me and Oman

I was under heavy stress and trauma when I moved to Oman. The memory of the day of the bombing still lingered strongly in me (this is my old post in Blogit about the bombing), and the fact that all TV stations showed the scene over and over again did not help. I still woke up in the middle of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Me and Malaysia

While I had travelled to many far away places, one place very very close kept being put at the end of my destination list, Malaysia.. until two and a half years ago.. When my husband's contract in Yemen was over, he received an offer for a position in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and he accepted the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hidden worries..

As my boys are growing bigger, I'm starting to see the chance of them seeking adventures in the future, which I'm sure will happen before I know it! I never thought much about how my parents coped with my interest in outdoor activities (since neither of them was much of an outdoor person), but now... Sign in to see full entry.
