Recap, Reflect, Renew
WARNING! This might be the longest entry to end the year.
A new year is a great time to reset your internal clocks, re-calibrate your settings, and re-chart your course. There’s something encouraging and natural about using a fresh calendar page to make new goals in your life, which is why New Year’s resolutions are so popular.
But made in haste, resolutions can be pointless at best, discouraging and depressing at worst. When they’re vague, broad, and unreachable, you’re almost setting yourself up for failure. But when they’re specific, productive, and attainable, resolutions can truly be an Ebenezer in your life for some healthy changes.
December has always been a time of reflection for me. I look at what I have accomplished in the past year & what I need to focus on for the next year.
2010 was the year that I deeply dedicated myself to losing weight.
Unfortunately, my weight loss goals were not achieved because whenever I'm happy, I would end up eating.
The Year 2010 almost coming to an end. Time really flies super fast without me knowing. A lot of emotions play apart this year. Patience is virtue & I believe that every year, my patience percentage has increase by 2%. That's definitely a good sign.
Alhamdulillah, I managed to control the emotions such as anger & sadness. As patience is partial of our Iman. From sad memories to yet another joyful memory, it’s really unexpected. Thank You Allah for your guidance in my life. I've always believe that no matter what come may, I'll see light at the end of the day.
So, what have I accomplished & achieved this year 2010?
Hmm, I believe my start and middle 2010 were so rocky and unstable. I had so much difficult time handling both work & relationship. I fall, I collapsed and at the end of the day, I still get-up. Even though at 1 point of time, I’m at the verge of giving up, but people around me sent such a sweet words of motivation & I managed to go on and tried again.
Thank You everyone, whoever you are, be it via twitter, phone calls, text msg, and late night session of whine how miserable life is. Thank You Allah for sending this lovely sweethearts people of mine.
Spend the 1st quarter of the year searching for a full-time job. GOT IT, but let's just say that I'm not comfortable working there, with the people there who thinks we are young kids that needs to be scream n scold whenever they teaches us something that we couldn't understand.
The pressure was there. I managed to only stay for 3 months before I decided to surrender the white flag. Again, stayed at home, job hunting, throwing resumes & finally got one, in the month of Ramadan. Although it’s a contract yearly, I felt happy working at the current place now.
What is the best thing that happened this 2010?
My family has spent most of our time together watching tv. Although we seldom eat together as a family MINUS the Ramadhan part. Family-bonding time is always there every Friday, Saturday, Sunday night.
WHY?? Because that's the time that my family watch Tamil together cause Ayah LOVES Tamil. haha
My relationship with my 2 Anak Daras cousins, paternal side, seems to get back like we used to after a misunderstanding of long stories which wasn't even true.
Apart from that, was my 21st Traditional Home Birthday Celebration.
YES! Traditional Birthday Celebration. I'm sorry, but I'm not that type that went to club, wasting money just to dance to the music & paid so those drink that was not supposed to drink in the 1st place to celebrate their 21st. I had fun & also it’s the moment of getting close with close families & friends. I love families’ gatherings!
The 2nd one that supposed to be the closure of the happy moment was My Engagement. YES! Farid & I got engaged.
He knows how much I declined whenever he wanted to bring up the issue on engagement. I know how frustrated he is until one point of time I think he almost gave up on bringing that question to me ever again. But, Alhamdulillah, my heart has opened & I'm someone's fiancée now.
It's barely a month since I'm engaged. So far, it sails smoothly and hopes to sail smoothly until our last breathe. You must be asking how long until our big day. Let's just say its 2 Years & 2 Months from now. Hoping the day could be on our 7th Year.
so, that’s the best thing happened in 2010.
Let’s now say Goodbye 2010.
You’ve serve me well.
To Year 2011, Please Be Nice with Me. May I save lots of money for my big & after day. May ALLAH Bless every one of you & shine the little lights in us to Taubat. Amin
Let's Welcome 2011 with open arms.
