Alhamdulillah

Salam everyone,

Tanpa disedari, we have reached 2013.

A lot of fuss was made about the world ending on the 20.12.2012, with what they said in accordance to the Mayan Calendar. Allah s.w.t lebih mengetahui dalam hal ani. We as humans cant interpret God's knowledge unless He allowed us to, apatah lagi kalau hal yang related to Hari Kiamat.

So looking back at what I did in 2012.

Biggest achievement so far is that I have graduated!!!  5 long years of studying eh? hehehe, New Zealand will always be a second home to me in my heart. Living there for years, the culture was awesome, apart from the drinking, which is the only thing I hate. It is a beautiful country, full of gem and beautiful and awesome sceneries. I'll miss my laidback life there, I will miss the people there. A lot of things that I will miss. Friends, road trips and food. Yes... food! Especially the indian butter chicken. Nyums...

Anyway, I have been so emo for the past few years. Its a natural trait, I guess. Eventhough there has been a few times in the past that I've said that I will throw away that trait, it never went away. So I guess it's a built in trait. Just that, since it can't go away, then I will just have to control and tune it.

So next step in life is to build my career. I have reported back to my sponsor, and now awaiting for all kinds of documentation to be done including my medical checkup (Insya Allah nothing will go wrong, except for my high BMI), which is kinda expected to be a problem, but I am working on it.

Plans to exercise before working has failed. For the first few weeks, it was hard to get out since we dont have any domestic helpers and my wheelchair bound nenek, who is still quite healthy and strong (she's a bit sick from flu at the moment), needs care. So I did all the possible things as a domestic helper, a caretaker AND a driver. Multitasking on these three things proved to be quite a huge challenge to my mental state. Although, I was not the one who suffered the most stress.  Now it became a bit better as we have two domestic helpers. Alhamdulillah. So a few weeks after that, I was able to go for netball training. However during the second training session, I sprained my ankle. It was not that bad (i.e not to the point it was bruising). I can still feel the pain now though, its been 2 weeks, and it is not well healed yet. So my plans to exercise was tampered by these 2 reasons but I believed there were reasons why this happened to me (Only Allah s.w.t knows), so I am not going to complain. Just one irks me... I eat too much these days. Haihhh, need to control!

Anyhoo.. it expected that I will be going to work this week! Maybe on thursday or saturday. Seems flexible eh? hehehe its not. I was actually planning to go to work on this thursday, but one person decided to give us a huge surprise by going back home. So... I guess I have to push back the date of the start of my working. I'm half excited, half nervous because I don't know what to expect. So we will see how it will go by the end of this week.

Assalamualaikum

PS: One thing that I am still not used to... the title Dr... hehehe, feels weird!
