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.
