Connecting The Dots…
By Nel Fahro-Rozi
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) — Was it Steve Jobs or Bill Gates who told a story in a commencement address that life is about connecting the dots?
I think it was Steve Jobs, but regardless of who said that, I believe he is absolutely right. He [...]

Build A Life, Not Make A Living
By Nel Fahro-Rozi
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) — I would like to dedicate an Al-Fatihah to a friend who died in a fatal accident middle of last week.

Build A Life, Not Make A Living
I would like to dedicate an Al-Fatihah to a friend who died in a fatal accident middle of last week.
It was so tragic, and such a tragedy because it was not his time yet. That was what I thought when I heard about his sudden passing. Not that I know when his time was supposed [...]

I successfully exceeded or meet all the goals in my Declaration of Excellence. Some of them are: I published 8 articles in Bernama.com, [...]

It’s never over till the fat lady sings
By Nel-Fahro Rozi
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) — Ever heard that popular adage, “it’s never over till the fat lady sings”? Coined by a sportswriter and broadcaster Dan Cook, it was a form of self-assurance (or in denial) in the face of long odd, [...]

A Room of Familiar Strangers
By Nel Fahro-Rozi

It’s never over till the fat lady sings
Ever heard that popular adage, “it’s never over till the fat lady sings”? Coined by a sportswriter and broadcaster Dan Cook, it was a form of self-assurance (or in denial) in the face of long odd, often muttered when things look grim.
That reminds me of that day two years ago when everything looked a little [...]
Venus calling Mars, anybody home?
I know that Mr. Right is coming. Only that he’s stuck in Mars and the spaceship is taking a f**king long time to get to Earth because he got lost somewhere in the universe. Oh yes, and he is too proud to ask for directions.

My Mother’s Hands
By Nel Fahro-Rozi
KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 (Bernama) –My mother and I hardly agree on anything. In fact, we disagree on almost everything. For as long as I can remember, my mother and I have been like the opposite poles of a magnet. North Pole and South Pole. Hot [...]

The game of love
The game of love, as I see it, is like taking a walk in a park.
Some people have been to the park many times and after a while forgot the wonders that the gardens in the park offer. They just want to rush to that white gazebo.
For some, this is their first time walking [...]
