Reset, Reflect, Rewind

 Bismillah ! Hi nobodyy haha. Feels so surreal how time flies so fast. Here I am, writing, in our new house. It's been 6 days since we moved in here. 17th of June 2022 was our first night. I will forever remember this date, because, 17th of June 2007 was the first day I got my period haha. Ngek. 

Before I get sappy talking about leaving my lovely house, let me just go straight to what I wanna write about today..

So I was reading Julie's newsletter a couple of days ago and she shared a few questions to ponder upon in achieving our goals ( or something like that)..Without further ado..let's start  !

What has been the highlight of my year so far ? 

- Quit my job as a kindergarten teacher 

- Abah had CABG operation 

- Akak is pregnant (finally!) after 4 years of marriage 

- Moving to a new house

What has been the biggest challenge of my year so far ? 

Having to do chores that abah usually do on a daily basis ( which is a lot!!)  and realising that I always depend on abah and everyone around me to make decisions even the smallest one like how many cups of rice should I cook ? 

How have my priorities changed since the start of this year ? Any realizations ? 

I don't know honestly, but what I know now, I need to focus on 

-becoming the best helper I can be for my family, 

-help abah run errands everyday,

- take good care of my future niece whom I'm going to live with, 

-help akak and Ali run their food business even if it's just me helping with washing the dishes, 

-help mama with kitchen chores, 

-and as for myself, becoming the best content writer I can be insyaAllah. 

Overall, how am I feeling at this point in the year ? 

Alhamdulillah, I can safely say that I'm really content with where I am right now. So far, everything's under control although I get tired (tired is normal kan !!). 

Am I making time to pause and celebrate the wins (big or small) ? 

Yes I do! The other I went to Big Bad Wolf with akak and bought a big box of books, few days ago I had a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, and in the mornings, I would walk to the kedai and buy a newspaper. 

That's all for now..It's 4.44pm...

Until then, 

Bie
