Balance

It's been awhile since we went out to spend time like this! We were reminiscing those earlier times when we both just started work and how my office used to be so close to hers and she'd come pick me up on Fridays for long lunches or just whenever she or I needed some happy booster.

Today? We see each other with the most tired face, or we just hang out at home, on the bed before accidentally stealing some nap times. Gosh, we feel old now! Nonetheless, definitely for a good reason, all of us going through that phase of chasing a million and one dreams at one time :)

It's friends like these who remind us that there's more to life right now than just work work work. Ultimately it's how to strike a balance. And if anything, they're the ones who if you have not seen for a million years, will still treat you the same like we just saw each other yesterday.

Magical days in Mekah

This time next week, I'll be exactly here, InsyaAllah
:)
God willing, this would be my second time performing Umrah since I was in primary 3, and I cannot even begin to explain the happiness and excitement in me!! If anything, many of my prayers have been answered in many different ways. When I asked for a break, when I asked for a clear mind, when I asked for a time to reflect and be surrounded by much needed comfort, He gave me this in His own way.

As a little (innocent) girl at the age of 9, I've always thought that this place is beyond magical, it's unexplainable. Only because I have experienced the most magical thing that happened right before my eyes. That is to have performed my Umrah when I was 9, prayed in masjidil haram and as a little girl, innocently and directly asked for Allah SWT to give me at least a 98% for PTS IQ examination in standard 3 in my du'a (98% was the passing mark). I specifically also asked for the news to reach me when I arrive in Malaysia.

Truly, the day we made our way back to Malaysia, stepped foot at the airport... I received a call saying 
"Adik! You passed your PTS exams! You're going straight to primary 5"
MasyaAllah

What and who can be greater than He who listens to your prayers and grant you such happiness.
InsyaAllah, I will have all the energy to perform as much and as best as I could. Amin :)

Swamped

When you go through a phase swamped with a lot of questions in your head, but none has clear answers. When you're tested through so many challenges and it all have to be at the exact same time.

...all you want to do is have a clear mind and decide on whether this is what I want to go through.

Never have I had a few big responsibilities/challenges put together such as now and only God knows the stress level I'm going through. All in all, waiting for March to fly by, April to come and end and May to arrive before things slow down a lil :)

By then things may have changed a little too. If anything, hopefully for the better.

T junction

When you come to a point and you're not sure whether what just happened means

I'm stronger or I just lost it.
