2013

I haven't posted anything personal since I started posting photos and only that but since it's the new year so I decided that "a summary of 2013" deserves its own post. Besides, I think this is something I do annually? Although of course you can't read those posts now since they are kept private.

Anyway, 2013 definitely taught me and changed me a lot. Living one and a half hour away from home definitely taught me how to be independent yet at the same it also taught me how to be dependent on my close friends (interdependent). It also taught me how to eliminate those who only find me for his/her own benefit (they don't appreciate you, trust me). 

And along the way, I decided to start covering my hair for good. Of course I had a lot to think before I do so because once I cover up, I'll never be able to wear clothes that I own anymore (they are either too revealing or too tight), and I can never make-do of my hair prettily anymore. But I put all those thoughts aside when I felt that I owed Allah a lot and switching myself is one of the ways to repay Him. I wasn't a good Muslim tbh but things were looking up when I got accepted into uni and the fact that I made the dean's list for two consecutive semesters, ah I couldn't be more thankful and blessed. InsyaAllah I'll be this way till my last breath.

What else was there in 2013 eh? Regrets? I sure did have one of those but hey, it's the nature of life and if I didn't experience any regrets in life than I'll never learn anything new. 

Lastly before I end this post, here's a personal favourite photo(s) I took in 2013 :-)

Terkesima Trip - Singapore, 2016

Image
I had always wondered if there will ever come a time for me to actually step out of tanah airku for as long as I still breathe. Though I was told that I had been to Singapore before but apparently I was still a baby then - one that I had no clear, and vivid memory of. I could barely speak then, let alone walk, therefore it's almost too impossible for me to trace any available memories of me being physically there. Hence, I wouldn't count it as me having been to another country before. Alhamdulillah. I guess Allah swt heard my prayers, I was blessed with a chance to travel out of the country for the very first time in my entire existence (and without my family's presence). When this opportunity arose I honestly didn't want to lose it, although it was pretty hard to convince Ayah of allowing me to go to Singapore. You see, Ayah had always been protective and careful of me whenever I decide to go out without him but as I grow older, his protection over me is reduced

Sian Acu

Curi tulang a bit from work to write this. LOL jk. Just got a bit (a handful actually) of time to spare and I just have to HAVE to document this in the form of writing (or in this case, blogpost). So last week after work, I went out to have a nice dinner in Subang with my family sans Ayah. As we had parked our car, I was carrying my lil’ niece, Hana (Ehem, I don’t usually carry her because my goodness is she heavy but that night was an exception hehe just needed to get the bond and chemistry going) and in the distance, I saw the LRT train was passing by and we all know how kids are very intrigued about all these weird-looking, moving things, therefore I happily pointed the train to show it to Hana. Here’s a very funny conversation I had with her: Me: Hana, Acu hari-hari naik train pergi work. Hana: Acu naik sorang-sorang je? (read: ye. Hana has this habit of saying “je” at the end of each of her sentence) Me: Ha ah. Acu naik sorang-sorang. Hana: Sian Acu. Guys,

Week 1 of 52

Image
So I've decided to start this 52 weeks project in which I would upload a picture every week for the whole year starting today :-) I did this project two years back on flickr ( click here ) but I stopped because of some reason and this time, I'm gonna do this project on Blogspot instead because I don't get that much recognition on flickr :( Anyway, I hope this time I wouldn't give up despite being busy with work. Oh and did I mention that I got a new job? Yeah :-)
