The Arian, Explained

The big question is answered here – my name is Hanie.

And that’s the shorter version of what appeared in the Mykad, trust me.

   

 Me being just me, Hanie.

  

Me being a mama to The Teenager.

 Me with my Other Half, friend, lover, confidante, husband, soul mate.

The family was adopted by Zeus and a number of other furbabies.

Very low tolerance for people with plenty of BULLSHIT.  Admires person with plenty of guts, honest, smart, respectful towards others (animals, plants and human alike) resourceful and forward thinking. 

I love travelling. One day, one fine day, God’s will, I will take the this one journey that Ive always thought of – the journey through the Silk Route on a 4-wheel drive, roughing it out for weeks from Beijing to Tashkent, across the wilderness of the Kazakhstan, passing through old, tall and twisted vines of apples trees…..admiring the Tibetan monastery in Labrang. I dream of travelling the very route where Alexander The Great and Genghis Khan hovered over their great armies on their war stallions. Images of colourful bazaars, scent of spices trailing among the alleyways in the city of Samarkand.

Insyaallah, we will make that journey to visit Allah’s House too.  

ANIMAL LOVER. Cats, dogs, bears, monkeys, hen, civet cats, cows, sheep, goats, turtles, terrapins, wild cats, porcupines, tiger cubs, slow lorris - I had them all when I was a kid. Still keeping cats..and the occasional fish in the tank.  

I started off this blog when I was at my lowest ebb in my life when my 17 years marriage came to an end. It became a platform to channel my thoughts and managed the pent-up anger. After a time, I found that by blogging, I also found other like-minded new friends out there. I also found out that a blog would also help a potential life partner to understand you better…..

I met George in the most unconventional way but whatever way that was, let me put it this way, I found my friend, husband, partner, lover and soul mate in him, and I thank God for making him part of my life. We got married last July 2009 in an intimate, beautiful traditional wedding.

The posts here will reflect my own journey in my phase when I was on the verge of my previous marriage followed on by my route to be a single mom and finally getting married to the Love of my life. It also reflects the challenges that I faced raising up a teenager at home, all the trial and the tribulations in her own journey to adulthood. The rants in this blog are entirely mine and mine alone and does not reflect anyone else’s.

BTW, I like Donald Trump and Richard Branson. Really. Dont like it? Fine. Sue me.
