Yes, I have to admit. It has been quite some time since I last updated my blog. Everything has been moving so fast and words can't describe how overwhelming it is. It is the 11th of January and I believe I owe myself at least 2 updates on my blog. 2012 was indeed a wonderful year and Syukur Alhamdulillah I've been blessed with lots of valuable memories that I will not trade. There were a few bumps here and there but I realize that life will be much kinder when you have more faith. Everything happens for a reason. I learned that sometimes it is not about pushing things aside. It is more of how we accept the challenges and learn how to manage it is what matters. Challenges are God's way of being kind to us. More like Cruel to be Kind. Challenges to make us wiser. At one point of life, I decided to make resolutions because I will always end up disappointing myself for not meeting it. The thing is, goals are good. It sets a target for you to achieve but most often we tend to not work hard enough and give up half way. So, really, if I am not meeting my goals, I only have myself to blame.
Highlights and achievement of 2012:
January 2012
For my 26th 21st birthday, I got engaged. I got a little bit more like a control freak knowing exactly what I want for my engagement. The result was of course a Bird Themed Engagement which was really beautiful. OK. So the event was not really the highlight. It only meant that I'm a step closer to marriage.
February 2012
Hubster went on a Bachelor trip to London 2012. That was pretty much his last trip as a single man.
March 2012
That was the month when we really started our preparations. Kursus Kahwin, HIV tests, Form Submissions... You name it. The process was indeed very tedious. However, it wasn't that much of a burden. Looking back, I could see that these process helped us to slowly prepare for married life where both man and woman need to do their homework and manage challenges together.
April-May 2012
More Preparations and 28th May onwards, I was not allowed to meet Hubster until the wedding day.
June 2012
I got married on the 28th of June 2012

December 2012
2012 ended with a BANG! for me and when I say BANG! I really mean BANG! BANG! was the experience I had during my year end family trip with my in laws, my sister welcomed a new daughter... Baby Khyra a.k.a. Baby Tama and BANG! was what it took to tear my husband's ACL and meniscus (which i will explain in a much later post-promise!).

Having an ending like that did not bring me down. Yes, it meant that I will have a challenging year ahead (nursing a sick husband who will need 6 months of recovery period, moving to a new house, trying to get more passive income etc). As to babies (which happens to be a favorite question to ask us), we are taking our time. We have a lot of things in our bucket at the moment. We're hoping to clear at least 2 things from our list before moving forward. InsyaAllah, kalau ada rezeki tu ada lah kan. It may be a challenge but it also means that we can make it through. So, whatever the future bring, bring it on! I may stumble a little but I'll pick myself up as a wiser person. ;) Happy new year everyone!
