Ramadhan Mubarak everyone. Guess it'a a bit late to wish everyone that. Tonnes of events had happened. While I'm still in the mood and still eager to write this post, let me tell you all about those happenings.
1. Went back to KB 2 days before Ramadhan.
Like I'd been telling few of my friends and Abang, I long for the day when I could go back to KB and have a balik kampung feeling. It's been almost a year since I went back. The reasons? Ma had been coming to KL few times already. And I couldnt apply for annual leave due to additional workload as my colleaugue is away for 6 months. Since our new family house is completed and ready to move in, Ma had been constantly asking my sisters and me when I'd be coming back to do all those washing, mopping, cleaning the old and the new house for the big move in. Since I'm the only daughter who has yet to get married. And also being available to do all the small-small chores, unofficially, I have to be responsible for almost 80% of the big move in mission. I started to throw many of our old things including our school/uni books, clothings to give aways, old furnitures as well as Ma's free stuffs (u know when u buy a large Colgate or large Ribena u get a plastic tumbler or sumthing). I don't want tell the rest of the throwing stuff, because I want to leave it to you to imagine how much are the junks that I got from a 25 years old house. Suffice to say that Ma was really mad when I threw her old furnitures away. I also cleaned up the new house, it was the 1st day of Ramadhan and I was so grateful that our house is not that big for me to wash, scrub and mop it alone.
2. Just paid the down payment for my OWN single storey bungalow.
Yup, I just bought a house. My OWN house :) A 5000 sq ft single storey bungalow. Yup, that is the very reason why I still ride my 660cc 2001 Kancil. Alhamdulillah, things are smoother now that our new family house in KB has completed. I can pay my own house installments now that I dont have to give Ma about RM500-RM700 every month to get the new family house constructed (fyi, we didnt apply for home loans as Ma has her own savings and my sisters also contribute to the house construction).
3. Just got my promotion/appointment letter a fortnight before. Alhamdulillah, my rezeki has been pouring in nowadays. Alhamdulillah. I'm so grateful because things are looking up. But responsiblities are bigger and the burden is naturally heavier. I can only view it as my superiors trust me to do bigger roles, higher career ladder. I pray that I can do more and work as hig spirited as before. My intention is always the same: to contribute, if not directly, indirectly.
4. Abang. Is my greatest influence. Enough said.
5. Family & Friends are important to me.
No matter what I do. My grounds are always go back to the basics. Our family is the one that can accept us for whatever happened to us, no matter how shameful it is, how unforgiveable it is. Friends are the greatest critics. Make us always on the ground however busy and stuck up we can be.
How smallest things can happen, I will always have that graphic memories of everything. Family gives me the real world.To work harder and always gets me on the ground. Friends, gives me memories of how fun it is to swap clothes or to laugh at. A companion, gives me balance of everything. What more could I ask for? Thank you Allah for these.
