signing out, for now..

In the fight between Blogger and Facebook, it looks like Facebook wins, at least in my case, for now. Facebook allows you to give quick updates which is immediately updated on the walls of your friends, and it seems to be working for me at the moment, in this busy schedule which I find hard to avoid. With Blogger, I just need more time, more thinking, more patience.. seems there's never enough..

So, for now, I'm signing out from this wonderful space which I started over 4 years ago. After 188 posts, I thank all of you for reading, as I bow out.. Wishing everyone a wonderful life (^_^)

18 Blissful Years

A special surprise on my table on the 1st day of work 2012

Thank you so much Allah for giving me such a wonderful soulmate as my life partner and I pray that You will always keep us together, di dunia dan akhirat..

"You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You'll never know dear, how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away.."

Happy 18th Anniversary, my darling AZ. My one. My only.

Neglected Page

Dear Blog,

I'm so sorry for this neglected page.. I've been extremely busy these past few months. Has it been 4 months since I last wrote? Time really flies this year! Can't believe we are coming to the end of October..

I will write a summary of July, August & September soon.. But for now, let's just say that I've been thoroughly blessed by Allah the All Mighty, Syukur Alhamdulillah..

Apabila Allah menurunkan rezeki kepada hambaNya, kadang kala ianya datang dengan berbagai jenis dugaan dan cabaran. Ianya untuk menguatkan dan memantapkan semangat. Supaya kita belajar dan lebih matang dalam menghadapi kehidupan yang penuh rintangan ini. Insya Allah.

Signing off for now. Will be back soon..
