A Year in Photos

Praise to Lord, 2011 has been a kind not mentioning a good year to me. In the spirit of the new year and continuing the blog's tradition on reflecting what year it has been, let's take a recap, shall we?

It started with this,

Shah Alam, January 2011

Then followed by,

Bali, January 2011

Then,

Matilah hidupku gelap gelita katanya. Kahkah. Gosh, this blog is getting more lame by seconds.

Well, I have to admit that since my camera died on me last year, I haven't bought a new one. So I am totally relying on H's DSLR camera. But then, lugging a bulky DSLR on an outing seems so....., inconvenient. Which explains why in the photo memories department, there aren't much.

Ok, let's move on shall we? I am truly grateful to the Almighty for bestowing me with another year of good life & health, a supportive husband who is also my bestfriend, great in-laws and not forgetting my ever loving family. Alhamdullilah.

But yeah, life ain't always rainbow and sunshine. Despite having a good year, I was having few meltdowns in the beginning of the year. I was so frustrated with my career path that I might have stepped out of my boundaries as a human, a bit. During this point, I was truly lucky having H as my husband for he has given me the much needed motivation, support and guidance. And for that I am truly and forever thankful.

But like they said, God works in a mysterious way that sometimes it's beyond our understanding and grasp. Lets' just say that our patience paid off because it's too personal to disclose.

Bak kata Siti Nurhaliza, biarlah rahsia.

PANG!

But then life is too short to be mellowed down with sorrow. Pick up my pace and ran 5km in Standard Chartered KL Marathon, despite spraining my ankle a week before and managed to clock 40 minutes! Yeah, yeah, nothing to shout but at least it's an achievement for me.

A day trip to Malacca with my parents,

Yucks, muka berminyak boleh goreng telur

Then it was Raya,

Flew off to Ho Chi Minh for our backpacking trip,

Attended few weddings & engagements in between,

Yati's wedding

I did the hantaran's arrangement for my brother. Amateurish, I know.

Then it's time to wave goodbye to the love of my life to a place 10,000km away.

Yang baju merah tu pretty much still single. Nak berkenalan? Kahkah

2 months of LDM, before I knew it, it's our first anniversary! How time flies.

Thank you 2011 for such a wonderful time. Looking back, I think I've grown into much more calm, collected, wise(r) and matured person in a year.

Here's a toast (just a figurative speech, nothing to do with the act of toasting) to 2012, hoping that it'll bring much more happiness, love and rizkh.

Insya Allah.
