Road trip to Bahau

Last weekend is the most interesting week of my life.

firstly, Al-Fatihah to arwah Pak Lang Mokhtar bin Abdullah who passed away on Friday 16th Dec 2011. We did tahlil for him at my family's house on the same night.After the tahlil, i bake chocolate cake at midnight for friend's gathering at bahau. by 1am it was ready.....

next morning, i rushed to IKEA to buy the all famous currypuff ...then took a cab to Bukit Jalil where Ili picked me up and proceed our journey.

First pitstop is ili's family home, and we convoyed with her parents who were in another car to Rembau for a wedding. From Rembau, Lisa's husband, Erwan, guided us to their house at Ladang Kok Foh Bahau.

What an adventure driving through the jungle, hills and old roads.....

Ili and myself talked all the way, we had a lot of catching up to do as the last time we met was in Muar during Nad's wedding, almost 3 years back.

Once we arrived in Lisa's house, we made ourselves at home and started chatting and cooking....It was so funny as I see the difference in my peeps from our uni days till now......We talked about life, kids, and others together......I felt at ease and comfortable being around my girlfriends....

at the same time, I looked at the three musketeers in the house how they have grown ... so adorable and cheeky....

The next day we continued our "chatting saga" until 4.30 pm when Ili and myself made a move back to KL....however we got stuck in the jammed at Seremban for one and half hours..... i arrived at my house by 8pm....After shower and dinner, i crashed and slept through the night.....

I hope that we can do another gathering again....

holiday in sun

2012 is my year of fun under the sun. I want to take as much holiday as I can. To me, work is no longer a priority. I'm more concern about my mental well-balance. I don't want the pressure 0f the job I have take a toll on my happiness.

Therefore, I have chosen several holiday destinations to fill my time away from work. Work will always be work, but holidays is the memories that I create for myself.

I refused to care about what others may think cause I'm just too tired to care anymore.

So I'm kicking start the planning now and having fun choosing destinations and activities.

heart and soul

I'm thinking about the person I was 3 and a half years ago, I was unsure, naive and weak. However, as time passes by, I've realised that if I don't toughen up and stand up for myself, nobody will take notice. I've developed a heart that is able to distinguish each feeling for every situation.

Today, as the year 2011 coming to an end, I have made up my mind as how I want to live my life, regardless of what they {voices that drown my own} say. I have to take charge of some parts of my life for my own sanity and well-being.

I'm looking forward for 2012, I need to take journeys to feed my soul. I hope this will be a new beginning for me. InsyaAllah.
