Approaching Syawal



Ramadhan is almost over. We're 4 days away from Syawal.
Yes, I can't wait to celebrate by eating loads of food & gatherings with family. But I'm actually saddened by the fact that pretty soon the devils are gonna come out & I'll be back to my "evil" self. This Ramadhan has been awesome. Everything's more relaxed. I managed to have a slight control over my eating so I'm actually saving some money & losing a few hundred grams of weight (blerghhh).

I hope I'll live to see the next Ramadhan, InsyaAllah. I hope we all do.

The Idea of Life

Do you sometimes think that you have no idea what you're doing?

Well, I do. I mean, I get this feeling all the time.

I actually don't know what I'm doing in my life. There are those who have this life goals & know exactly what they want to do & what they want to achieve at certain points in their lives. Obviously I'm not one of them. I envy these humans. They have their lives all figured out. They must live a happy life.

Oh it's not like I'm not happy but I'm not ecstatic either. I'm just... a blank.

A blank whom feels happy when she's with her family members & close friends. A blank whom is stressed out when facing office work. A blank whom heart is filled with sadness when she's glancing over at her love life.

I guess the most depressing part is the work part. This is where the blank goes top max BLANK. I have been stuck with this job for as long as I lived. I remember putting in "Programmer" & "System Analyst" to my secondary school application when the school was about to divide students according to different streams. This means that I have actually been where I wanted to be back then. But now that I've been here for about 14 years now, I want to get out of it.

Get out & go to what?
That's a good question. I have no idea. 

Anybody's open to give me some suggestions, btw. Thanks in advance.

A Light On A Wednesday


So what do you do on a 1-day break in the middle of the week?


1) You sleep. 
2) You watch loads of TV.
3) You sleep.
4) Spend some quality bonding time with your best friend, The Couch.
5) You sleep.
6) You go out to the nearest shop possible to do some shopping for your household needs.
7) You sleep.
8) You do your laundry. 
9) You sleep.
10) You sleep.


I wish there's 1 off day every week, in the middle of the week. It's very much needed for every single human being in the whole wide world. 


It's June!



June is such a busy month. It's Ramadhan - Ramadhan Kareem to all Muslims, may our fast & ibadah be accepted and our prayers grated.

But of course, life goes on in this month. And so does my work schedule which is super tight. Migration & deployments. Night jobs & day jobs. Not forgetting weekend jobs.. And at the same time we all have to slot in time for ourselves & also preparation for Syawal.

So if you need me, I'll be stuck in office, glued to my laptop screen.

Of Kings & Queens




Had the honor to be one of my friend's bridesmaids. Not just one, but for two weddings. One was Ely's in October of 2015 & another was Dini's in February of this year.

Apparently now, the Malays have ditched the tradition of having 1 maid at the wedding & gone with the rest of "the world" having a trail of them.

But who am I to say anything, I am happy to be selected as one of the lucky ones at these two weddings. These friends of mine mean a lot to me, and I know the feeling's mutual. Or else, I wouldn't even be invited to the wedding! ;)

Anywho, these girls, they have found themselves their life partner. InsyaAllah, I pray that their Kings will treat them as Queens until Jannah. Ameen.

My King? I think he fell of his wagon. Literally. Or maybe etymologically. Whatever.
