After 12 days of Absence...

   KakNgah here.

   It's only been twelve days since I left home to be here, but it feels like two months. How time flies! And yet it crawls. One has to wait and wait... and when something happens, it happens and is gone in a flash.

   I have so much to write about. And so little time to do it. No. I won't lie. I do have time. But what time I do have, I just like to rest. Just rest and relax before the big challenge starts next week. I'm nervous. I really am.

   Thankfully, KakYong has promised to write regularly. Good for you! And KakCik also asked for the email to this blog. I guess she wants to start writing. Good for you too. 

   And good for me. Honestly, I don't know how I am going to keep with writing here and at my teaching blog. I hope to be able to at least post one entry here per week. Otherwise, I will probably be killing myself at updating the other blog. Oh, I am positive that there'll be lots and lots to write about. Just not as positive that I'll have time and that my experiences will be positive ones however positive I am about them. Oh dear.

   So tonight... I'll only write something short. Or perhaps a short version of something that is long.

   The truth hurts. Especially when it is about something that makes you uncomfortable. But the truth is, the truth is just the truth. And one must always accept what is true. Even if it means you will feel terrible for days about it.

Would you lie just because the truth hurts?

   But in the end, however much it hurts, if you choose to do something about the truth, if you choose to act upon it (and you must remember that there are many ways of acting upon something- even deciding to keep quiet about something can be an act of accepting the truth), the truth will help you. It will HELP you. Trust in Allah and know that He knows that you have decided to accept the truth. In the end, all will be well.

   All is well, insya-Allah. Amin.
