My journey begins

 Today I woke up at 4 am.  My journey begins today. I left my house 🏠 at 5.33am. when we leave for pilgrimage like haji or Umrah, we don't know if we will be returning home. That's how I feel. I left my other two kids  at home in the hands of Allah. This is the first time leaving them alone. May Allah make this journey smooth and easy for me.

My haramain journey

 

I begin my Haramain journey in December 2021 when me & my husband decided to register for Umrah.

Allah knows what is best and starting from there, I  am faced with many things. I even say that the new year 2022 is the year full of challenges that the Almighty has in store for me. Some of the challenges are something that I have to face on my own that I could not write anywhere.  Allah S.W.T also starts my journey by giving me positive COVID. I was in the quarantine center for 1 week.  My Haramain journey was postponed from 24/ February to 5 March. My leave was already approved and I have to reapply another two times as my final date is 7/3/2022.  Now I am still waiting for approval. I hope that Allah will make my journey smooth to Mecca, Aamiin

 

My life after 50

Well that's me, not the most recent. This was 5 years ago (6/7/2015). For those who are reading, this is just a place for me to ramble about life.










I passed the big 50 nearly two years ago. Well sometimes I felt that nothing has changed. I still feel like when I am am in the thirties. A feeling of frozen in time. There are still unachieved resolutions, uncompleted projects, unfulfilled dreams etc.
But looking further, I think that everything has changed. The most crucial is how I look at things. Maybe I am affected by the IR 4.0 hahaha. I find that my whole outlook has changed. I am more calm, less competitive, less brand conscious, and to live by your own standard and not enraptured with the standards set by the society. Trying to find solace amongst the hustle bustle of life.
