On one of my visits to Bahrain, a seven year old cousin of mine wrote me a little letter just before I flew back to Tokyo, asking me when I’ll finally be back in Bahrain for good. This little letter has been hanging above my desk for quite a while now, but I never thought [...]

Time + Space = ???????????????????

A few nights ago, I panicked.
I guess I had it coming. I had an assignment due the next day and I couldn’t - for the life of me - understand a single question being asked (and the fact that the questions were written in technical Japanese did not make it any easier). I actually attempted [...]

It’s not that I have lost interest in blogging at a steady pace; I just don’t know what to blog about. I reckon this happens to many bloggers (just as writers go through writer’s block at times). Probably has a lot to do with my out-of-whack sleeping pattern (or lack thereof). At any rate; things [...]

When I saw the sunrise at 4.30am this morning, I wondered how many other people in Tokyo were witnessing the same view. “Not many, probably. All the buildings in this city seem to obscure any hint of a horizon. I guess I’m lucky to be living on the Western outskirts of the city, just out [...]

Just when I began to think that the last case of Insomnia I suffered from (that nearly made me lose my mind between the months of September and November of 2006) was out on a permanent vacation - I find myself corrected as it seems to have returned.

Lately, I’ve been (un)sure what to make of the following episodes. Can anyone out there give me some feedback?

My neighbours have all disappeared, and so did that abnoxious barking by the chihuahua in apartment number 203. However, my landlady, who lives on the first floor, did NOT disappear. She seemed to be in a particularly [...]

مساء هلال ومساء بدر Ùˆ ما اختلجها كان من الواقع الملموس (والذي آمنت في بادئ الأمر بأنه من اللاملموسيات) . نصف شهر أم عام أم دهر (لا أستطيع التفريق فيما بين أوعية زمنية أحيانا) حال بيني وبيني النوم والراحة . هنا تساءلت لو أنني في قاع الفضاء أو قمة كوكب “طريق الحرير” . أحقا ما [...]

As a result of the semester not getting quite into full swing yet, I have nothing to look forward to until Monday (the first week of class is always a Hi-hope-you-had-a-good-Summer week). Earlier this evening, and in an attempt to get myself to sleep early, I swam 2km in the local pool and then took [...]
