Till the after life.

God knows if this thought is ever possible but ever since my parents came back from doing their Umrah a few years back, I've never been more sure of doing my nikah ceremony at Masjid Nabawi.

I hope this does not confuse anyone out there but just to clear the air, I'm very much single and still not seeing anyone. This year's valentine's day gonna mark 3 years of me being an extremely independent lady. Feels a little weird and a little scary that I'm typing such things out but I think I've grown pretty accustomed to all things solo. As much as I can't be bothered with quite a lot of things (or maybe I'm feeling likewise as I've been too involved with work and upcoming sister's bday and.. Bridesmaid duties!), I really am wishing/praying/hoping that one thing will change quite a bit in my life. Something small but major.

Into 2014...

8 days have passed and so far, things have been going really well. Or rather, that's how I choose to feel and think. It's not that I'm not facing the "real" problems but I'm... Putting them on hold. I mean, not having a partner is not exactly a problem right? Because I AM GENUINELY HAPPY. There's so much more for me to learn, to love, to make mistakes and when I come to think of it.. I'd rather lead a solo yet fulfilling life. I can literally do whatever I want and there's not much to think of either. My family have always been supportive of what I do in life and I have the best of friends around me!

I'm trying to push my best for performance at work because I believe I can do better, especially after getting the letter from boss (don't worry it's all a good thing! alhamdulillah syukur sekali!) and that uni will only commence next half of the year due to "unforeseen circumstances". Giving myself a year and a half to prove to everyone and most importantly, myself, that I can reach and do what I wanted.

Apart from all that, one thing that I was disappointed in the most was that I didn't get to swim with the sharks nor cliff jump on my 23rd birthday. I wanted to do those desperately in Bali but I guess god has better plans for me? "Everything happens for a reason", right.

I have a few plans up my sleeve this year and that includes taking up PADI Open Water certificate, a trip to Bali or Boracay and do some white water rafting or cliff jumping (yessss pleaseeee.) and finally some cold ass winter trip end of year (still psycho-ing someone to head to Morocco and Spain with me! Sad because most only wants to do a Euro Trip.), bring up my GPA, earn another pay-raise/promotion and hopefully get started back on Quraan classes!

Till then.

Better late than never.

Atiqah got me a personalized planner from Ri Stationers and I thought that was the end of the birthday gift till ... or rather after grueling trolling me through out our dinner at Paul's and then Mcds, I got this lovely package from them. FYI, they first gave me the charm and told me to get my own bracelet and that was totally fine with me because I know I can be quite choosy. And then, the angpao with $100 vouchers. Naive me thought that was all but noooooo, they got me the classic piece of silver for me too! Ecstatic? HELL YES.

One of my wish managed to come true this year, a simple chocolate cake with a candle for me to blow. Yeap, it was a belated birthday celebration but hey, it's better late than never! But at the end of the day, what's important is the company I had. They never fail to come out with a lot of nonsense to make me laugh and their number one mission was to disturb me the wholeee of yesterday night. I sure had a good hell of a night lauhing till my #tamac hurts and I got a crash course on my body parts aka #shins #chin #elbows. Hahahahaha yes it's an inside joke. XOXO.
