2016: Ida year of exploration

2016 dah nak sampai penghujung. Tahun ni aku boleh conclude sebagai tahun "Exploration". Ni ada sebab kenapa exploration?

1. Trip to Melbourne in February :)
1st oversea trip yang aku book and plan sendiri...
Ini la permulaan aku berani book flight sendiri :P
Aku ada cerita detail dekat sini





2. Trip to Busan and Jeju in Apr/May
1st trip dengan kengkawan yang aku belajar buat trip research. The best trip so far :) *baru 2nd trip je pun duhhh~~~* Detail cerita kat sini

 

 
 

3. Surprise evaluation in June :)
This is by far, the sweetest surprise during 2 years working in H. The best gift is the unexpected gift. Aku dapat lebih dari apa yang aku jangka.Thank you Allah. 

4. Trip to Vietnam in June
1st oversea trip dengan adik beradik (tak semua la tapi). Ini tak ada entry sebab 1. tak sempat sebab aku busy menyelamatkan dunia. haha.  and 2. tak banyak nak cerita sebab ni solely trip untuk cari barang bisnes.

Aku melabur banyak untuk trip and barang2 kat sini. Bukan Berjaya sangat tapi it something worth trying :)

The best thing about Vietnam adalah kopi dia. super super love. sehari 3 kali aku minum. hehehe

Kopi susu

Kopi O

Simple coffee stall setup

5. Trip to Langkawi in September
Aku ada bias opinion terhadap Langkawi sebelum ni. Langkawi = coklat je. Padahal, sebenarnya aku yang tak open up more to explore T_T
Ni 2nd time aku sampai sini tapi balik dengan pengalaman yang berbeza dari yang first. Trip ni lead by Nurul and best giler sebab aku berjaya atasi (bukan selesaikan lol) kegayatan aku :P

Walaupun skydiving tu adalah piece of cake untuk certain people, untuk aku, ia adalah satu pencapaian yang paling hebat..haha

Laman PADI

Skywalk

Gayattt tapi bestttt :)

5. Change of Dept Head
Last October, aku dapat new boss :) 
Too early to tell samaada kita boleh work as a team or not but doakan kerjaya aku ya....
 
6. Bukit Kayu Putih
Ini satu lagi kejayaan aku mengatasi gayat. Bukit Kayu Putih ni kalau google view dia adalah sangat cantik, tapi, kena hiking naik batu yang tinggi... Untuk orang gayat macam aku, ini memang boleh kategori sebagai success! <3 font="">

 

7. First time ice skating
Selain gayat, my sense of balancing is sangat2 teruk. Tapi aku survive main ice skating with minor injury :)

 
8. Bangkok with strangers
Tahun ni adalah kali ke-3 aku jejak ke Bangkok. And semua pun sebab business trip. Tapi yang bezanya kali ni, aku open myself up untuk mingle dengan colleague dari Negara lain and with language barrier, we manage to explore Bangkok together :)

Asiatique

 



Tunggu train

Alhamdulillah atas anugerah kesihatan yang diberi untuk aku melangkah jauh. Alhamdulillah atas peluang yang Tuhan bagi untuk aku melihat keindahan di Negara luar.
Alhamdulillah atas rezeki yang Tuhan bagi untuk aku survive throughout the year ---> masih ada kerja, ada rumah untuk berteduh, ada duit nak makan dan bayar segala bil dan hutang piutang.

Alhamdulillah :)

The only resolution aku yang tak tercapai adalah untuk kurus. hahaha.... Tapi takpe, kita carry forward lagi ke tahun depan apa ada kes kan?

Azam 2017 aku:

Personal Development
1. Capai ideal weight before VIPER Challenge April 2017
2. Start saving untuk ke Mekah :)
3. Settlekan hutang 'jahat' (credit card and PTPTN)
4. Start saving untuk rumah :)
5. Stop unnecessary shopping :P
6. Tamatkan zaman bujang? doakan ya!

Career Development
1. Start new things in life (change job scope)
2. If no.1 fail, take professional paper. Be bold.

So, apa azam tahun baru korang?



Happiness

We always thinks that others life is easier than us
Reality is, no life is equal to us. Similarity, maybe. But equality - NO!
Hence, comparison will never be fair.
You would never feel happy if you keep on thinking that happiness is - married to a wealthy man (for example) like what your friend end up with.
You end up forcing yourself searching for the exact wealthy man so that you can be as happy as your friend.

or you feel that the life of your-always-travel-throughout-the-year friend is a happiness, hence you fork out every last cents of your saving so that you can go around travelling (and living) like him.

Don't be fooled with what the eyes see,
Our eyes are only capable of seeing the surface, the outer part of other's life
but never what lies inside.
Having a pair of healthy eyes is amazing, but making judgment or assumption solely on what the eyes see is wrong.

Seeing with your eyes and heart would lead you to a different level of seeing...

Remember the Asmaul Husna?
He is al-Adl? Maha Adil. The outmost just of the world.
He is ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim. Maha pengasih dan Maha penyayang. The outmost kind and loving.

The more we know the meaning of Asmaul Husna
the more we know our creator
and Insyaallah (God willing) we will accept whatever destiny of our life.
but careful, accepting doesn't mean we can put all the blame of whatever bad things happen to our lives, especially things that is within our control.

Remember His word that means something like this - our fate will never be changed unless we change it ourselves.

Go to youtube and browse for Nouman Ali Khan's video on fate that is within our control and what is not; and you will understand what I've been talking writing about.

Example of fate that is beyond our control - we are born into a wealthy family or we are born as a HIV positive child.

Example of fate that is within our control - we drive carelessly and get into accident.
Accident is uncontrollable but we can reduce the risk by driving more carefully, giving signal when it is due, stop to rest when your body said so, do not sms-ing while you are driving and perfectly aware that you cant multitask etc.
we can reduce the impact by wearing seatbelt or wearing suitable protection when riding motorcycle etc etc.

Another example of fate within our control is we can choose to be happy with whatever we have or we can choose to be happy only after we get what someone else have. Both scenario require us to choose which serve us better. working hard to improve life or sitting back and enjoy life.

Both decision are perfectly fine unless you decide to sit back, but wants happiness from whatever that you don't have.

Same goes when you get envy with others life. You can opt whether to continue feeling envy or you can opt to understand that everyone's life is a roller coaster of its own.

Afterall, who said living would be easy?
Go and read Al-Quran, Al-Baqarah:155 and 214

Hence Ida, go and read and read and read and make yourself understand the Book of Guidance
and see things differently
seeing with good (not emotional) heart
and you will see how bless your life is
and you will start re-defining the meaning of life, the meaning of happiness
and you will start to appreciate whatever things that comes or leave your way.
