Journey : Career change



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم


Big hello to my fellow readers !


I wonder if my readers are still available. Cant blame them, Im the lazy one to update my blog. Huh, can't believe how fast the time flies, its already September, approaching October. Just couple of months before 2017 say hello to all of us.

My previous post kinda sum up what had happened to my life, the little & the massive changes (in ONLY 5 months) .
above all, Im glad i took the path that lead me to what i am today.

alriite y'all , lets cut short the intro (which i really suck at it -__- )

As some of you may know, the biggest & the most challenging decision I have made was to quit my stable job ( that pay quite well ) and becoming a full time housewife. yeah, a career change indeed (>__<).

Trust me babe, that was not an easy decision. I know most of the working lady/mom out there would love to take up my current job : a housewife.
However, there also some people back home think I'm just a burden to Fadd ( which really hurt me a lot -- makes me feel like a totally useless wife, do nothing at home but dig up my husband's money)

I'm facing a few struggles in the first few months. It was really fun in the first few weeks until the boredom hits me. Im a "always-on-the-go" kinda person. Can you imagine i moved to a foreign place where the internet is always giving me hard time, far from my friends, far from my family, far from everything familiar. My life was literally surrounded by 4 walls & my only happy time is when Fadd is home (and i rant a lot to him) 

I've become an unhappy Shakira, always complaining & get really emotionally cranky. I cried for the smallest thing & always give Fadd a hard time. Things getting worst when people back in Malaysia start asking why I'm not trying to apply any job here in Oman ( which i sent my resume to almost all job vacancy available here but never get any reply from them or they just simply reply "oh, we need a man for this position " duh ! ---> really add up to my frustration).

After many episode of crazy breakdowns, both of us got really tired & frustrated. Fadd decided to give me a break from everything & asked me if I wanted to go back home. I cried (again) because i never wanted to be separated from him. Im a clingy wife after all (-___-) . Then I realise the actual problem is me not accepting the fact that my life will never be the same once I said yes to marry Fadd.

Accepting a stranger to be part of your life & adapting to a different lifestyle of living is never an easy thing to do. So, i learn to compromise. I learn to see things differently. I learn that changes doesn't mean end of everything. Ive stopped bang on the wall, instead i find a way to make things work. I started to change my relationship with Allah & somehow it improve my relationship with Fadd ( and life ). 

and a news of new family member will be joining us soon (InsyaAllah) really makes me mellow down ( allooooot :P). My view on being a housewife has change. Yeah, sometimes words from others still hurt me but now i feel much stronger & Fadd always remind me the sacrifices Ive made by showing (showering ..lol) his love towards me :)

Im getting myself back !


I started to enjoy my new career : Housewife. Now, whenever people ask what are you doing for living ?
I'll proudly say : Im a Housewife, I take care of my family & my house.
and i realise how much i enjoy making Fadd's belly grow & making him happy is my ultimate goal now.


Kinda happy kickstart for my next journey ( i hope )
till my next writing ( which i can't promise when ..LOL )

Harris Ng

hello readers  both loud & quiet readers (and also stalkers) "WHY"  that would be your first question in your mind right? Well, there so many things going on recently with the "dog" issue & stuff and somehow, this person kinda blame on Harris because of what i did.  Like "seriously people"  Beside of the dog-picture-stuff i really want you all to know how Awesome Harris is. (Well, not the part he left me for another girl obviously) The positive side of him  Actually, i wanted to write about him few days back, but because of the madness i kinda postpone it a little bit..  So, here we are...  Talking about Harris, the man who broke my heart  As some of you may know that our very first date was on 31 december 2009 & i was 22 years old that time... (God, im so young)  Im kinda like him because he was bold enough to ask my number from my colleague and ask me out on the new year eve.  So, basicall...

Melayu bukan Agama...

Entry kali ini agak serious... Please prepare your mind... Kalau agak2 kuat, terus membaca... Kalau agak2 nak judge aku... Baik berhenti disini saje.... Buang karen korang je baca panjang2...  Aku terpanggil untuk berbicara pasal religion... Uh... Topik berat...  Topik penuh dengan sensitiviti... Semua dari "point of view" aku mengenai religion  Aku kenal macam2 jenis orang.... Dari serata dunia... Usahkan orang lain, keluarga aku sendiri asalnya bercampur agama... Atukku asalnya cina... Walau tidak pernah bersua, mami selalu bercerita pada kami... Suamiku cina... Keluarga ipar ku tentu2 la cina kan... Kawan kawan aku ada hindu, buddha....  Aku ada berpuluh rakan christian... Ada jews ada yang langsung tiada agama...  Hanya menurut logic  Disebabkan ini, aku lebih terbuka dengan sensitiviti agama mereka... Sebab aku kagum betapa mereka peka apa yang boleh, apa yang tidak dalam islam...  Kadang2 aku rasa, kita terutamanya melayu... Terasa bongkak menyat...

Dogs & Muslim

Dear readers, especially my fellow Malay friends. I am sorry if you will be affected by my entry  To those who eager for some knowledge or with pure curiosity, read with an open heart, clear mind & throw away the judgmental disease  today im going to write about Dogs & Muslim  Well, Dogs is a taboo in Muslim world. WHY??  Dogs are dirty  Dogs are unclean  Islam said Dog is Haram (islam said or Malay??) & the list goes on and on and on and on.....  Islam teaches its followers to be merciful to all creatures , and all form of animal cruelty is forbidden. Why then, do many Muslims seems to have such a problem with dogs?  Yes, they said saliva/pee/poo of the dog are dirty. we need to samak to clean it up.  How to samak?? The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him throw away whatever was in it and wash it seven times." (Reported by Muslim)...
