This is a reflection. Not anticipation; that, I’ll save to
myself first.
2012 is a year full of surprises.
I can barely remember how it started. I can’t remember where
I was on January 1st this year, but what I do remember is I wished
you Happy New Year and you wished me back.
Looking back, there were a lot of things happened in my
life. I took the experiences bit by bit and struggled hard to understand the
hidden meaning for highlights of the year. Obviously I couldn’t put everything
into words, all in one entry for what had been occurred the last 365 of earth
rotation. One thing for sure, some events managed to turn my life upside down.
One:
For career-wise, it has been a wonderful year with wonderful
those wonderful people around. You know, when you stuck to do something that
obviously is not your first sight love it’s kinda hard. It takes a lot of
struggles and reminders from your own-self to be sincere. Since sincerity comes
from within, I do wish I’m sincere enough when my mind and lips agreed to it. I’m
blessed to have people around who constantly harking to my whines, offering and
sharing their opinions. I’m forever thankful and indebted. It just gets better.
Two:
Transition from student life to working life is not that
scary. I find it a lot more fun because I’m handling my very own money. There are
few adjustments needed, of course and also the way I think and such. All in
all, at this current phase, I’m actually meeting a lot of new different people.
my opinions towards certain issues changed gradually. I hope for more positive
side. my spending habit is not in a good state. I mean, you cannot spend huge
amount of money for different fragrances in 2 weeks. That; clearly need
improvement.
Three:
I finally found a real replacement for the lost Iphone 4
last year. Alhamdulillah. It’s Samsung Galaxy Note 2, people! very nice! Like,
really really really really nice and suits me the most. *to the moon and back*
Four:
I made a clean slate with someone from my past. I should’ve
made it a long time ago but the teenage me couldn’t bear the thought opposite
to what I wanted hence the delay. However, it’s a big achievement and I’m
eternally thankful to Allah for all the lessons that came with it. That’s the
thing about life. Sometimes, we are too afraid to face our own fear, afraid of
what others might think of us, afraid to be different. I know I still have a
lot to learn but one thing for sure, I refuse to lead the same pattern of life
for the rest of my life.
Five:
Letting go is never easy. Thus, I’m praying hard that we all
do possess the ability to let go things that are liabilities to us and focus
more on something that is more beneficial for us to keep. Please be reminded
that for every obstacle we have to endure, Allah knows. Never ever give up on
Him because that’s the only way we will never ever give up on ourselves. Let’s
strive to be better in every aspect of life eventho the changes might be slow. It’s
okay as long as we’re not stagnant, right?
Last but not least, Happy New Year 2013!!!
