The LaSt DaY of 2018

I can't believe that today is the last day of 2018. I usually didn't work on the 31st December of any year except last year and this year. I am so looking forward to start 2019 and saying goodbye to 2018.



I can safely said that 2018 is one of the longest year of my life and I learned so many lessons this year. My life changed dramatically this year. I know I have been missing a lot from my blog this year. Hey! When you have been dumped, divorced, moved to a new house, rearranging your finances, fall in love and so many more, it's going to take you sometime to pull yourself together and get things in order. I am hoping that 2019 I will be back to my normal self and blog more regularly.

SoMe RaNdOm ThINgs in 2018 

( in no particular order)

• I think the Greatest Showman and Aquaman are the best movie I have watched this year
• I discovered The Law of Attraction this year, I mean I've become aware of this law and suddenly everything makes sense to me now
• I have become obsessed with self helped book and audible. Some books I listened to more than one time this year including this one - The Miracle Morning

• I travel to Balkan and Hong Kong this year
• I moved to a new house this year
• I finally paid off my car this year
• I discovered a road to financial freedom this year and I am beyond excited with the journey I am about to venture on
• Adjusting to a new life is not easy but I am so happy that I decided to get a divorced
• I have managed fall in love and got my heart broken in less than six months. 
• I learned that self love is the most important thing if I want to live a happier life

November Lists {2018}

November is almost over! I can't believe that the end of the year is approaching. I have been going through a lot of  life changing event this year that are pushing me to reevaluate my life and my goals. I know I have been missing from blogging more often this year. I guess that's what happened when your whole world is falling apart. Picking up the pieces and trying to build a new life for me and my children really take a lot of planning and energy from me. I assure you that I am well, life starts to feel normal again and I am readjusting my goals and my purpose in life. All is good and well my friend.

I would like to take this opportunity to make a list of a few things that are happening right now: 

Celebrating my health. After being sick for more than two weeks for Dengue Fever, I am so excited to have my health back and be happy with my life right now.

Loving my new iPhone XS in gold. I have been dreaming of gold since the first time they announced iPhone X. To be able to hold one in my hand is definitely a dream comes true for me. I love technology and I hope they never stop making new and excited tech in the future.

Feeling love and gratitude for all the money that is coming my way and for all the money that is already here. I learn to love myself this year and work on increasing my frequency.

Listening to The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha on audible. I have been listening to this book since yesterday and I can't put it down. A book about Happiness and has all the tools and tips that I needed to be Happy. I am having a hard time to stay happy. Having a book that help me to stay happy is a nice addition to my life. 

Watching Supergirl, the Flash and Arrow back to back. I am catching up old seasons on Netflix. I think I preferred Supergirl. I do enjoyed watching the episodes where all of these superhero working together, crossed over stories on all of theses four DC universe. I do wish they make on for Superman. I would love to watch his story after he is married to Lois and now there's Supergirl in the picture. I am also watching Charmed reboot on CW. I am not sure how I feel about this reboot but I still watching them just curious how they are going to spin the story.

Thinking about money and how I am going to make more of them. Not really make but invite money into my life. Money does gives me freedom and opportunity to be true to myself. Live a comfortable life with my children. I have so many things I wanted to do and so many places I want to go. With money I can take my kids with me to explore the world. I love to travel and I do wish I get to do all of it with someone that I love.

Reading - right not I am reading the Lethal White by Robert Galbriath, her new book from Cormorand Strike series. I have reached my reading goal for this year and I am super excited to explore more books fro the rest of the year. Reading is one of the things I love to do and to be able to do them all the time is the best thing in the world for me.

And that's what's going on in my life at the moment. So what's up with you right now? 

Practice Self Love // Project Life Pages 2018

Hello my lovelies! I know I have been missing from the world of blogging lately. I have been finding and reinventing myself all of this time. When your life has been turned upside down, it is very hard to find the right balance to feel normal again. Alhamdulillah I have slowly starting to feel like myself again. I am so thankful that I have found so many wonderful things during the most difficult time of my life.

One of the thing that I have been practicing is Self Love. It is so important to have unconditional love with yourself and feeling good about yourself, no matter what. One of the things that always give me pleasure is making scrapbook pages. I have been making these layout pages gradually through out the months and it slowly help to build up my confidence and to embrace life little moments.

HERE ARE A FEW PAGES THAT I MADE ABOUT LIFE SO FAR




There are so many things that you can do to practice self love. Form the point of view of The Law of Attraction, self love can increase your vibration. Good things can come to you easily and effortlessly.

My happy world

It has been awhile since the last time I did a scrapbook pages for 2018. My life has been pretty interesting this year. I can't believed that this year alone I have experiencing a broken marriage, falling in love again, being dumped again, and finding love in unexpected places. 

Today I decided to open up my Project Life app and scrap. Scrap anything I feel like it. It doesn't have to be anything amazing or a master piece. 

HERE ARE MY PAGES THAT I COOKED UP TODAY

Making these pages definitely makes me feel so much happier. Life starting to feel good again. I am learning more about myself and enjoying life as a single parent. It's different, it's scary and it's so much fun all at the same time.

The (more) longest year ever 2018

Last year I wrote a blog post entry about the longest year of 2017. I thought that the toughest year of my life has passed. I was totally wrong. Apparently 2018 has managed to become the longest year ever for me by far!

January 2018 feels like a light years ago. I have already expected 2018 is going to be a tough year for me because for the first time ever I am on my own. Stand on my own two feet to design the life that I dream of for so long. I thought that it is going to move a little bit slower than 2017. 

In an instant my life changed forever and I am not longer a wife. I am a divorced single woman with four kids to take care off on my own. I am not going to lie, it's a little bit scary and exciting all at the same time. There are a lot of things I need to think and decide for myself.

Here are some random stuffs that has happened and happening in my life right now

- My divorced was finalised in January 2018 
- I was officially on my own since that day. I have no idea how I am going to live my life but I know and I believe that I am going to be okay
- I have to hunt for a new place to live because my ex husband wanted the house for himself even though that house belong to both of us
- I decided to travel to Blakan with my ex boss. I wanted to see the world and experience life on my own. I thought I was going to feel sad and lonely but I was wrong. That was definitely the best fourteen days of life. Meeting new people and going to a new place definitely changed things for me.
- I meet Nihad our Bosnian tourist guide. Meeting him was definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me! I was happy and I just can't stop smiling. If it's up to me I wanted to stay there for as long as possible
- I got mugged in Montenegro. I was so shocked by the experience. It's definitely a lesson learned for me. Never take for granted my belongings
- After my Balkan trip I was left with this emptiness inside. I need to be around people and I need to connect with people. Suddenly I don't know how to be by myself
- I discovered The Secret ( The Law of Attraction)  and this law totally changed my life!
- The General Election 14 in Malaysia was definitely changed things for everybody! For the first time ever the opponent become the government of the day and the government become the opponent. Wow! 
- My ministry ( Natural Resource and Environment) is no longer exist. Now we become Ministry of Water, Land and Natural Resource. So many changes at work that I need to deal with.
- I moved to a new house in Putrajaya with my kids. Instead of fighting for a house that feels like hell, I choose peace of my anytime.
- I tried Lorry.com for the first time to moved my stuffs and furnitures from our old house to the new house
- Practicing gratitude with the magic is one of the tools that helps me to heal my heart and open my heart and mind to a new relationship
- I am obsessed with self help books and audiobooks. I just can't stop reading. I even read new adult romance genre. I like feeling love again
- Then I registered at one of finding jodoh site to meet new people. I always meet unavailable men and I just want to break the cycle.
- I meet some interesting people online
- I went out on a date for the first time in the longest time ever
- I experience love at first sight! I love the feeling of love. It's the best thing in the world. I hope this feeling will last. I meet my soulmate!
- I drove a car to Kuantan by myself for the first time ever. I have never done anything like this before. I am so proud of myself for facing my fear.
- I meet the Minister of Ministry of Youth and Sport at KBS GYM and selfie with him. This was definitely the highlight of my week!
- I am slowly easing into a normal and boring life but I don't think I can settle for boring. I have so much love and energy in me to just settle.
- Now I am obsess with vibration, energy and self love. I need to be in the presence of love to attract love. Live in abundance has now become my words to live by for the month.

Wow! I can't believed all of these happened and are happening in 2018. I am hoping and praying that the next few months will be a great month for me. I need to practice living as if all of my desire already here. Be in a happy state and be thankful.

2018 here I come and I am going to make the rest of the year the best year ever!

Taman Saujana Hijau Putrajaya

Hello lovelies! How's life? Hopefully everything work out according to plan. I have been living in Putrajaya for about two months now and things are slowly getting back to normal. 

Living in a new place and a new neighbourhood can be a little bit lonely. You tend to miss your old neighbourhood and your old house. I need to make a plan to explore Putrajaya and find new things to do.

So yesterday I decided to go to Taman Saujana Hijau Putrajaya with my kids. I wanted to walk around the garden and see what this place is all about.

I can't believe how beautiful this place is! For people who loves outdoor and taking photos, this is definitely a place to be.


 

Next time I might go here again early in the morning to run and see the view from the hill. So pretty!

My July lists [2018]

July is half way through! I can't believe that the end of the year is approaching. I have been going through a few of life changing event this year that are pushing me to reevaluate my life and my goals. I would like to take this opportunity to make a list of a few things that are happening right now: 

Celebrating the new life that I am living right now. Being on my own for the first time is scary but exciting at the same time. I am happy living in my new house which is near to work. This mean I have less stress in the morning. I love the neighbourhood. Not many cars coming and going. I am finally able to be myself and explore all the things I wanted to explore.  

Loving my iPad Pro 10.5" which helps me to take notes and plan digitally so much fun. Sometimes I do missed paper planning but the convenience of digital planning is too good to pass. There are so many youtube videos about digital planning right now and I think people starting to notice the fun of digital planning especially with the Apple Pencil. I hope that this trend will be around for awhile. I love decorating my planner and doing so digitally helps to satisfied my need to create and make things pretty.

Feeling grateful every day for all the blessing and abundance in my life. I love making gratitude lists/journal every single day. It turns out that I have so many things to be thankful for. Making this type of lists makes you feel rich and abundance. This definitely help me to be happy with what I have and for what is coming to me.

Listening to The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha on audible. I have been listening to this book since yesterday and I can't put it down. A book about Happiness and has all the tools and tips that I needed to be Happy. I am having a hard time to stay happy. Having a book that help me to stay happy is a nice addition to my life. 

Watching The Librarians on Hulu from season one. I can't believe how much I missed watching stories about supernatural and magic. The Librarians is light, funny and fun to watch. I am also watching The Bold Type Season 2 on Hulu. I like watching the relationship Jane, Sutton and Kat have. Best friends that have each other's back no matter what.

Thinking about my plan for the future. I am a bit worry about where I am going to live after I retired which is not that far away. I have lost my home in the divorce. Finding a new home is not going to be easy. Do I want to stay with my children or do I stay alone. Being alone and retired is the scariest thing ever. As a social being we need to have a relationship, doing something and grow. Now that I am by myself I need to reevaluate my long term plans and goals. 

And that's what's going on in my life at the moment. So what's up with you right now? 

PL 2018 // Life so far

It feels so good to create again. I am so glad that life has started to feel normal again. Doing creative things can really help to improve my mood and makes me happy. It's already July and I have many photos of 2018 that I would have like to document them in my scrapbook pages. I am living a new life and making new memories. 

So today I decided that I need to put all of photos into a scrapbook pages. I picked up my phone, launch Project Life app and makes these pages in minutes.

Ramadan daily // the conclusion

Hello lovelies! It has been a really long time since the last time I post an entry on this blog. There were so many things happening from me moving to a new house , fasting in the month of Ramadan and Eid Mubarak celebration, left me with little energy to blog. 

Hopefully now that life has slowly fall into place, I can get back into my normal routine again which include blogging. I do miss writing in this blog and documenting a little bit of my life at the moment.

Before I moved on to the next chapter of my life, I do need to wrap up a few things. One of them is my #ramadandaily photos. I do captured my daily photos during Ramadan, I just didn't make the time to sit down and document them in blog. 

So here are the rest of photos from my #ramadandaily project for 2018

Day 13 - It's a public holiday in Malaysia. I spend most of the day cleaning up my new house. And for iftar, we went to Bazar Ramadan at Putrajaya and have a picnic.

Day 14:- Since the mobile internet was out for this week because the relocation date is approaching, I spend most of the night watching youtube channel on my ipad.


Day 15 - I took the day off to prepare for my official moving day tomorrow. I am excited that I got to spend it with this cute little girl.


Day 16- It's finally official. I have moved to our new house in Putrajaya. Life is finally looking good and amazing.


Day 17 - It's the first day we went shopping for groceries and other utilities in Putrajaya. I was still tired with all the unpacking and rearranging things but I was so happy with this move.



Day 18 - Continue shopping at IOI City Mall with my parents. All of the prices were cheaper because there's no GST.

Day 19 - Second last Monday before Eid was usually the time to shop for makeup. I always love makeup by Mac but this year I am loving tarte and benefit. 


Day 20: - Time to buy "baju raya" for my kids. This year Hanif is loving green so, he choose this color for his baju raya. 


Day 21: I finally get a chance to take photo of my new home. I may not owned this house but this place feels more like home to me.

Day 22: I got a new ipad pro casing and apple pencil casing from Amazon.com. This combination feels like I am having a digital notebook instead of an ipad.

Day 23: Majlis Khatam Quran at the office. We have finished reciting the Quran as a team. Alhamdulillah, this Ramadan was filled with lots of Quran reciting and less food.

Day 24: We went to Ikea Cheras to look for some furniture for my new home. I have looked for a few things I wanted to buy online, so I know what to expect. This was the first time I used theLorry.com services to deliver all of the item home. It cost about RM90 for 4x4 vehicle.

Day 25: Today we went to Ikea Damansara to buy a few things for my son which we did not get yesterday. Ikea Damansara has a lot more things compared to Ikea Cheras. I wish I could just ordered these furniture online and get them deliver right to my door.

Day 26 - Monday was a little bit slow because people are already in the mood for Eid

Day 27

Day 28 - Today was the last day of fasting at Putrajaya before heading back to my hometown tomorrow. I bought this new tartelette toasted eyeshadow from Sephora for Eid. I am loving all of the colors in this pallets. Tonight we went to see Jurassic World at Alamanda.

Day 29 - Travel home to Johor was calm and no heavy traffic. Alhamdulillah my eldest son can drive and I can count on him to drive us home safely. This was not the first raya that we celebrate without their father. Somehow this feels so familiar.

Alhamdulillah, as always there's always something new happening in Ramadan. I am finding peace, joy and happiness. May I get the chance to meet Ramadan again next year. Ameen...
