Cocoa Break

Why is it never easy to say goodbye? Knowing it will be the last time you see your spouse/partner for a very long time simply makes parting ways even harder.

Tried to be strong and calm but deep inside my heart I wished that it don’t have to be this way. Great times were spent together and random unplanned events made things even better. Not many words can describe what we have with each other. I could only say that it is sacred. I thank God for everything he has given me and pray that he will not forsake me.

It has been quite sometime since I felt so busy. It is a good busy feeling though. I don’t feel like I am wasting much time doing nothing though I feel short of precious time for me to achieve everything that I actually set out to do by end of 2010.

Being a student at NUS, living in Far far away land and trying to earn extra cash by teaching and freelancing is definitely not an easy task. Especially for a guy that can’t wake up till he gets a good 8hr sleep.

Now I really need to learn and organize myself. Honestly there is no point for guys like me to have an organizer coz we will probably take it for granted unless situation forces us to follow the plans set out for us in the day. Like how things are for me now. An organizer is to help me be at the right place at the right time as everything in it are important.

That’s why I treasure the little moments I get to spend with my family, partner and friends. Bless my partner who is understanding and does not pressure me to spend all my time with her during her summer break. I really appreciate her visiting me at school just to have lunch with me.

Praying hard that things will only look brighter for all of us.

With love,
Dean Yusoff

Great year for me. Began by ending a bad relationship, got picked back right up by my best of friends, climbed a mountain, created a new bond, visited Europe with my best buddies, got married and spent new year’s eve in Australia.

Too many things happened in a year right? Wait till this 2010 ends. Hahaha.

With reference to the blog post at http://www.temasekreview.com/2009/11/19/singapore-declares-its-recession-over/, I would like to just “pen” my thoughts here instead of commenting too much over there. This is also a reply to some of the comments in the post.

That is my name written in Arabic font. Not that difficult to write actually. I just typed my name in ABCs at http://www.yamli.com/ and it automatically converted my name into arabic text.

And if you are wondering, my name is suppose to mean something like, “Praiseworthy of prostrating to faith (in worship)” son of “Praiseworthy for the Lord increases”.

Kinda too much isn’t it? But I like my name. Though it is a mouthful.

Well, that’s why I just introduce myself as Deen Yusoff (Faith as the lord increases). Whatever that is suppose to mean, as I feel that most names don’t make sense when you try to get the real meaning from of the names.

Full of myself,

Deen Yusoff
