2009 review

2010 will be arriving soon!
am i ready?
well,
time waits for no one.
so ready or not,
i have no choice.
2010 will still happen.
honestly i don't see any huha about it.
it just that instead of writing 09 in the year section,
i will have to write 10.
it all lies in your mindset on how you want your year, month, day to be and how you want to achieve your goals.
what can you benefit from 2009?
stop, think and reflect about how you have improve as an individual and of the blessed things that the Almighty has bestow upon you.

i had a challenging year compare to 2008.
i almost give up.
if there's a title for the "worst yet useful" year,
2009 will be it.
but underlying it,
i can't deny that the Almighty answers my prayers.
syukur alhamdullilah.

2009 is the year that i have

a new status,
engaged.
i got engaged to my long time (ok la not so long, 3 years plus) boyfriend, Mutalib.
there are changes after we got engaged.
more concrete talks about our future and plans about our weddings.
and now,
greeting him with a peck on the cheek is being replaced by a kiss on his hand.

another new status,
fresh graduate.
self-declared graduation from NUS since the commencement is in july.
it's time for me to enter the working world and be independent.

my family and bestfriends,
as my support and encouragement,
the ones that stick with me and love me for the person i am and care for my well-being.

a new phone, Mighty bear & unbelievable birthday celebration when i turn 23,
fully sponsored and planned by the partner.
pamering is the key word.
haha.

learnt how ugly i can get,
it opens my eyes to see how inexperienced i was in handling situations.
rash is irrational.

to believe in myself,
that i can get through any challenges no matter how tough it gets,
because the Almighty knows that i am strong enough for the challenge.

never lose sight of my principles, morals & values,
my elders taught me long enough what's good and bad,
and i'm given a brain to decide what's wrong and right.
because i believe an action is going to affect others.
and i never want to hurt others.

learnt the most important lesson in life that is to get closer with the Almighty, learning more about islam to understand my role,
it was the most beautiful experience and it gives me a sense of calmness and peace.
a sense of wholesomeness.

i thank my mom, dad, grandma, afiq, syafiqah, fatin, mama in, papa 2 & my cousins.
i thank my bestfriends.
i thank the partner's parents.
i thank the partner.
i thank everyone that touched my life by showing your concern.

and the utmost thanks will be for the Almighty,
for He gives me a chance to wake up and experience a new day.

so how do i expect my 2010 to be?
i don't want to expect anything because i don't know my future.
just take up and accept the challenges that He has for me.

but i know i'm going to have a fun stressful enjoyable time planning for my wedding.
from the theme, to the decor, to the wedding card, to the dresses, to the cake, to the so many more!
every girl's dreams to have a memorable pretty wedding.
=)
exciting huh?
stay tuned and keep on reading this blog if you want a guide to becoming a bride.
haha!
=)

wishing all of you to have a very happy new year!
be happy with what you got rather than be unhappy with what you don't.
have your priorities and that will make your life much easier.

love,
atirah
