After 12 years

Wow! Looking back in time to my blog as a kid really brings back memories. So much has changed in 10 years time! I went from being a kid in elementary to now a graduate student in university. How time really flies huh. Looking back, I always thought it was this happy place for me when-ever I wrote here. Even though I knew there weren't many people (if any at all) reading my blogs, I still felt like writing them. Nowadays, I keep my blog on my own website at thaomar.com. Though that hasn't been updated in a while too (lol). I'll still come here from time to time, just to vent my thoughts, how I feel. I hope one day, I can look back at this blogspot and see how much I've come. From an idea that my mum and dad once told me to start to where I am now. Til next time! Omar

2023 - Letter to Omar

Hi Omar! You might be the only one reading this, or you might not. If you aren't me and you are reading this, then welcome. I thought I would write a reflection on how my year went. In a similar fashion to how Bill Gates or Warren Buffet writes annual shareholder letters, I'd like to also write a letter. But since I have no shareholders, I've decided to write a letter to myself. So here goes! If I could summarize this year in one word, it would be the word change.  The changes in my life that Omar in 2022 could have never imagined. Starting out in 2023, I was still completing my courses for my masters at Simon Fraser University. I had just gotten back from my co-op in Ottawa, and I was just phoning it in for the last semester. For the first time in my life, I learned how to snowboard! It was an amazing experience with my then-girlfriend J - and I can proudly call myself a beginner snowboarder now! During that last semester, all my friends around me were looking for jobs. In

Importance of silence

Reflection on this past month It's coming to the end of April! April showers bring May flowers -- as they usually say. What I'm seeing is more showers + flurries. Never in my life would I have imagined that it would snow almost in May! Back in Vancouver, it was mostly just rain with the occasional sun that would pop out.  --- I really do miss the rain. I'd love to just work while it's thunderstorming outside. I want to feel like I'm forced indoors, in a cozy environment drinking my warm mocha, while programming or just writing away.  Life this past month has been exciting! I've been going out more, taking on more things to do in both my personal life and work life, and overall just trying to put myself out there. Life is becoming colourful again. Meeting new people, making new friends, and getting new perspectives on life. I found myself starting to have random chitchat with strangers these days. Whether it's to feel a sense of connectedness, or just a frien
