2021, a year of growth

Assalamualaikum and Hi,

After 2020 tore me apart & broke my heart, 2021 happened to be the year of growth & healing for me:

- finally completely healed 💪 - bcus I woke up 1 day & decide I can't hurt myself this way anymore

- then I moved to a new city

- got the chance to be in a career that completely transform my life-personally, professionally & financially

- & it makes me become more financially stable, expand my investment portfolio & pamper my loved ones

- write consistently in my blog again (to remember moments in life for me to read in tough times) 

- invest most in my myself: mentally & physically ♥️

- had a little few adventures & travelling with loved ones

- eventually open my heart & learn to love again

- big miracles happened in my family

- prayed to Allah more than ever asking Him to guide me every step of the way

My wish & prayers for 2022 are to always achieving 120% in all aspects in life especially in sales 😂, to take good care of all the blessings I already have, begin another new journey I've always wish for & to consistently be a better person than I was yesterday, every single day 😊

May next year will be a miracle

Till then,

4 months that changed my life

Assalamualaikum and Hi,

A year ago, we all knew how heartbroken I was (Read here). I was feeling so hopeless with life, thinking I might not able to do anything but stuck where I was standing forever.

I kept going back to things that hurt me. I don't think I could move forward to have a better life. I was dwelled with so much pain from the broken relationship and tough career.

Until one day, when I woke up from sleep, I told myself, "I can't hurt myself this way anymore".

That day, I decided to change my lifestyle, removed bad habits and whatever that could make me remember the pain. One big step I took was applying for other jobs on Jobstreet and LinkedIn. I applied for hundreds of jobs and attended few interviews. 

Miraculously, one simple click on Jobstreet made me moved to a different city and start anew. It brought me to a position where my curiosities were fed, my eagerness to learn were supported and I found the right guidance I was looking for. I went back to the same company that once rejected me. However, now I came back at the right place and the right time. 

My Science degree (which I thought won't be useful), experiences I went through and my personalities - finally linked with each other and fit well at the right place. 

I once thought I will never love again. I tried few times before but I just couldn't. Nevertheless, there was one night I prayed and God finally opened my heart again to know others. He let things happened when I was wiser to handle my own feelings. 

People always said life could change in a split second. Yes it could, whether in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years. Time is very subjective. Sometimes things you fought for years won't happen but what you did in short time were accomplished. As long as your heart is ready to accept any possibilities, put efforts and keep praying, everything will flow naturally. 

These 4 months taught me; to always be brave taking chances, never give up, always give your best shot and keep asking for the best from God. We'll never know what God has in store for us because we always plan, but God always the best planner. 

Besides my own prayers, I had endless prayers from people around me. I believe many of happy things in my life & me surviving those gloomy days were from their answered prayers.

2021: November memories

Assalamualaikum and Hi, 

Can't you believe it's December already! November flew even faster than October. But I'm glad since my schedules were fully pack that I was busy all Month. 

In the first week, I spend the long weekend in first week with the fam. First time going back after 3 months. Took my siblings to Sushi bonanza, had breakfast and lunch outside (sponsored by Makcik Ija), met my uncle and grandmothers too, & had 1 day out with my father and brother to Alor Setar. 

This trip was special because I have some deep conversations about life experiences with my grandmothers and parents - which I will highlight in one more post. 

In the second week, the whole team had lunch together at Asiari (thanks Boss for the treat, but he said nothing comes free), participate in treasure hunt and won consolation prize. 

I had staycation at Hilton KL Central with Monash girls in the third week. It was unexpected last minute decision. We had great time there, catching up with each others' lives and had Swiftie session together. Despite our busy schedules, I was glad we were able to slot in some time after a year since our last staycation. I will review about the hotel in another post. 

Towards the end of November, I managed to hit my first 100% after 4 months 🥰🥰 it was a calm month at first but a sprint on the last week. My heart was on adrenaline pump during the last 2 days before closing 😂

Everyone did so well and deserve a good rest before December. I asked my boss to let me went back to my hometown. 

I went back by taking ETS after work on Friday. The next morning, I went for a hike with the family at Bukit Telipong. The view was so beautiful can't be described by words or pictures. We took the truck because we don't have the energy to hike from beginning as I just arrived home last night. The trail looked easy but I think the distance is quite long. It took 1 hour to arrive to the top by hiking and 15 minutes by pickup. You can see the Perlis, Kedah and some parts of Thailand from the peak. 

On Sunday I went for unplanned walk in booster dose accompanied by Abah since work wasn't so busy. The next day, had an impromtu trip to Big Field for a cup of coconut ice cream. Finally I had my last progression report on Tuesday and alhamdulillah my superiors decided to confirm me earlier due to my outstanding performance. Later that night I went back to KL by bus and arrived safely today.

A fully occupied and blessed months ❤️ I am truly grateful for everything 💞Everything went smooth because of the prayers from everyone too. This month too I opened back my heart again. I hope December will have more miracles, blessings and will be the best month of the year.

Fighting 💪💪

Till then,
