Assalamualaikum Currently diffusing YL: Pine and Eucalyptus Radiata I wrote this entry title months ago. I didn't manage to find time to even start the entry so I have no idea what I was about to write back then. But somehow, months later, in fact even the year has changed (Happy 2021 by the way. Nothing new. Covid-19 is still around more than ever), this title is still suitable with my current mood & situation. Alhamdulillah I finally got my long awaited break from work. And no, not because of the working from home thingy due to Covid-19. That is a whole other story. Long story short, WFH is not fun at all. So the deal is I am now officially 6 days into my unpaid leave! Yippee yeay! Ok I know, this is not my first time taking unpaid leave from work. In fact this is my third time already (I think). I have taken so many unpaid leave in the past (due to my many health issues. My fam & close friends know why) that taking it now seems trivial. Only that this time I am taking it...

Assalamualaikum Hello guys, HAPPY 2020!!! Source: happynewyearwishess.com Dulu masa kecik-kecik selalu fikir lambatnya lagi nak tahun 2020. And now, we are finally here, man. For late 80s babies like me, basically we grew up with the phrase Wawasan 2020. Masa Pendidikan Seni, confirmed every single one of us mesti pernah kena lukis "Sila bayangkan tahun 2020". Pastu gigih laa kau melukis kereta terbang, robot hidup di kalangan manusia, highway bertingkek-tingkek, orang pergi kerja pakai jet pack bagai (HAHA!). Jenuh mintak mak bapak masing-masing belikan water color jenama Buncho dengan drawing block berbuku-buku. Macam ala-ala movie Tomorrowland. Serius sama. Cuba korang tengok movie tu and compare dengan lukisan tahun 2020 korang masa darjah 2 Bestari. :P Maybe gambaran kita untuk tahun 2020 tu jauh sama sekali tapi we did grow older and things do changed. Dulu melukis kereta terbang sambil kesat hingus kat baju sekolah, sekarang menghad...

Assalamualaikum Hi guys!!! Happy 2019!!! By the way, my entry title is just so random. I don't have anything big planned for this year actually. I just wanna have a peaceful, less conflict, less drama, less shenanigan and I donno, maybe some time off from work (?). We are 2 months deep into 2019 and I am still not over the fact that 2018 has gone by just like that. I traveled quite a lot last year (gosh, saying 2018 as last year is so weird. I'm still not used to it). Lots of first times for me. First time visiting Indonesia (Medan). First time going overseas with my husband, just the two of us (Bali). First time organized my family overseas vacation without using any travel agency (Perth). First time working in a small Ministry (Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan). Also lots of second times as well. Second time traveling overseas with my in-laws (Medan). Second time having miscarriage. Second time low key hating to move to a new Ministry. But I wen...

Assalamualaikum Hello good people who's currently reading this. HAPPY 2018 gaizzz!!! It's March already which means 2 months of 2018 has been crossed off. So what have you guys been up to?? As for me, my 2018 started off pretty well, alhamdulillah. I feel this year is gonna be a much better year than the last one. InsyaAllah~ By the way, this year marks the end of my 20s as I have entered the 30 series bandwagon last month. Kalau ada yang nak send hadiah birthday tu belum terlambat lagi ok. :) So since it's new year and it's the cliche time of the "New year, new me" talk, I think I might as well roll with it. For 2018, I have so many plans. Plans for myself. And also plans that include my loved ones. First and foremost, I have made a pact with myself to read, at least, 6 books this year . And I am currently on book number 2. Woohoo to me!! I know 6 books is nothing for some but for me, who is currently struggling so hard to adjust to sev...

Assalamualaikum Hello 2017!!! <-- a week long overdue but seriously, my blog is not that mainstream to care about all this deadline thingy and what's not. Can you guys believe that 2016 dah berlalu meninggalkan kita semua?? How time flies when we are enjoying it. Well, I wouldn't say that 2016 is the most favorite year of my life. I have to admit that last year was tough, even tougher than some of my tough years before, in certain aspect (remember my cadetship year? Yeah, that was super tough. And then there's also 2012; the year I lost my one true hero, my Bapak. Not to forget the year puberty hit me like a steamroll and the list goes on).  But it is fair enough for me to say that 2016 was quite a challenge for me. Physically, not so. Mentally, hell yeah. Otak boleh literally kurus from all of the cabaran dan cobaan yang telah dihadapi. *inhale exhale laju-laju* 2017 started off with some rough patches for me whereby I was not on top of my health for th...

Assalamualaikum Rasanya sayalah blogger paling "awal" sekali wish Selamat Tahun Baru 2014 kat korengs semua kan?? Maafkan saya. Pucuk rebung laa katakan. Baru nak berjinak-jinak. Selama ni tak pernah ada blog so tahun baru kali ni laa pertama kalinya nak wish Selamat Tahun Baru kat bloggermoks dan readers semua. Yup, this is my first time celebrating new year as a blogger. And I am so delighted to have all of you guys together with me. Tahun lepas, takde 183 orang (setakat masa menaip entri ni) bloggermoks yang menyokong penulisan dan sanggup pula membaca/mengomen bebelan (a.k.a karutan. Read: BUKAN carutan) saya. It has only been not more than 9 months of the existence of this blog but I have already felt the love and unconditional supports from all of you guys. I am totally blessed. Alhamdulillah~ As of 2014, I am pretty sure my life will be much busier than before. Macam yang korengs semua tahu (from my previous Ucapendek entry), saya dah dapat kerja dan akan mula b...
