It definitely has been a while - to say the very least. My last posting was in 2015 and now it is 2018. Indeed I have been away for a long while. Time and life goes on like always and I guess it's just time for me to pick up the pen and start writing again (metaphorically).
Our eldest is now away from home again to pursue her medical study, alhamdulillah. My 2nd one will experience her own rite of passage soon with SPM. After this very likely she will follow her sister footstep of moving away from home. May Allah SWT grant her what is best for her future. My other two unfortunately due to their underage status, did not participate in major school exams this year.
While my youngest one, the baby of my eye is growing up faster than my liking. I would have to have to accept the eventuality one day soon but for now, leave me in my ignorant bliss.
Now what has happened in 2018 so far ? For us Malaysian, wowww we have a 93 year old Prime Minister. Oldest one in the whole world as it goes on record. It feels great again for to have hope. Before I never thought that it could change, that we the people can make it happen but it did and it feels wonderful. We Malaysians do surprise ourselves sometime.
I have read "The Billion Dollar Whale" and it was an interesting read. Indeed given the right education, upbringing and environment one can have no limits to one's ambition. I definitely need to read the book again to understand the technicality of it; this first round I read it just to know more about RM part. Now I am ready to find another book to read, perhaps more fictional this time for some downtime.
I also had to give a speech during Afifah's recognition night last Friday. To say the least I was terrified was an understatement. But alhamdulillah I pulled through, with help from Hubby of course. But I am equally proud of myself as some mothers came up to me later and said they fully emphatise with the things I said during my heartfelt speech. I said what was in my heart and I wanted my daughter to know what her mother is like because I know that me and Afifah are not really like two peas in a pod. We are more like opposite's ends of the magnet. I love her anyway, with all my heart and proud of the young lady she has became today.
So this is for today. I shall try to be more punctual at this space of mine from now on. Wish me luck.
