Finding My Groove Back!

Power - the rate of doing work per unit time.
             Aura - human energy field.
                         Mojo - a magic charm, talisman, or spell.
                                     Groove - a rhythmic pattern in music.

There is a reason why he's called MOJO Jojo.

The same reason why He-Man chose the battle cry of "I have the POWER!!!"

And for some obvious reason these kids are calling themselves Mighty Morphin POWER Ranger.

Because power, aura, mojo, groove or whatever we want to describe them, it is important in for us.

There have been a long time since I've felt energized. If to describe it as a movie I would like to choose 'Groundhog Day'. Except in my case, nothing changed much at the end of the day. And unlike in the movie, I'm not enjoying it one bit as it felt like my energy being sapped by an bottomless black hole.

Masa muda...

I have to go way back to my university says to reminiscence the times that I could still wake up in the morning after having fun playing computer games late at night. The world with endless possibilities. Energized.

How time have flies.....

The truth is, my life isn't all that bad. For starters, I've got two beautiful kids. And spending time with them separately showed me how lucky I am....

I've had the opportunity to spend a dinner alone with Darwisyah at the sushi place before heading to her grandparent's home.

It was in fact my first time eating outside with her. Being unpredictable with foods, I'm not totally comfortable taking her outside for food until recently. My instinct was not totally off the mark by the way.

"Abah, nak tu. Nak tu. Nak tu", she pointed out to pretty much every plate that went by the sushi belt. It didn't took a long before the plates piled up.

And I was busy wiping up the table when she was having the udon. It will not be a good feeling leaving the table messed up.

But gazing up to her slurping the noodles as if it was the greatest meal that she ever had was worth it. She even had the cheek to put on back a lid for one of the sushi plate since her tummy had already full. As if that'll work!

Haziq showed the same enthusiasm when I brought him to the theme park.

The first time I brought him, it was when he was 3 years old. Not much that he could do at that time. This time is different. He can pretty much get into every ride in the park.

I can even use him as an excuse to have some fun at the theme park.

"Oh, nak kena bawa Haziq pergi Legoland la. 'Dia' nak main kat sana."

Cuba tengok siapa yang paling excited...

We went through the roller coasters several times. We can because we could. Going through the 'Dino Island' twice had got both of us drenched. And there were two of us in line at the Burger King counter with water dripping from our pants.

But it was a lot of great fun, and it is worth it.

Do does spending time with them will bring back the vigor that I'm looking for?

It'll not be a short and easy journey. That's another blog post for another time..... ⊂( ・ ̫・)⊃
