i started 2009 with a lot of hopes at heart. remember i said last year about something big that would or would not happen? well.. it didn't. bagi yg tau tu, tau la. malas aku nak cerita. it was hard enuff to digest the reality. let alone announcing. mungkin belum rezeki aku. like nia said.. whatever 'other' plans Allah has lined up for us, it's for the best. insya Allah. ntahlah. i guess i'm still adjusting. lama2 karang ok la tu. hm other than that.. everything else seems normal. biasalah kehidupan seharian. it's my first complete year as a working lady. a whole new experience. hm let's see what i can remember..
(1)
tahun ni aku byk struggle with money. baru2 pandai nak manage duit sendiri kan. haru. overspent je keje. asal hujung bulan mulalah tergaru2, terkebil2. i learned the dos and don'ts of credit cards, i learned about savings, compromising what i want and what i need, prioritizing my needs. and also.. responsibility. susah tu. huhu. but alhamdulillah, i got better with it. suda pandai skrg *sila percaya*. well bolehlaa kan. compared to dulu. at least istilah hujung bulan tu takla menyiksa batin aku.

i cut my hair this year. i finally cut my hair. hahah. eh ni aku dah cerita ke belum eh? hm lantaklah. ntahlah kenapa tetiba aku nak potong rambut. sampai seru kot. aku mmg dah lama admire girls with short hair. mcm ringkas je tgk hidup diorang. tapi aku tak pernah berani cuba. sbb aku rasa aku tembam and nanti dari jauh nampak pipi je. dari dekat takyah story la kan. pengsan. dlm hati tu mmgla nak.

pengsan ok. koma kot. memang tak la kan. actually susah sebenarnya nak carik. coz my hair is wavy. my greatest fear is.. bila aku dah potong nanti dia jadi gulung2 n i'll just be a mustache away from looking exactly like my dad. erk. tapi nasib baik tak. last2.. *sila ambil perhatian* aku pegi print segala gambar julia ziegler pastu bawak pi salon. and tadaaaa.. ziegler tak mak skawrang noks?? *sila muntah jika perlu*. ahahaha. i gotta admit. short hair itu best. hidup aku overall mmg jadi mudah. kadang2 jela aku miss my long hair. pasal quite a while gak kan aku berambut panjang. almost 10 years gak kot. but most of the time, i'm enjoying this :)

tahun ni quite a number gak of my friends menamatkan zaman bujang. yg aku boleh ingat is Jasmin, Keroun, Rabai, Nurul Huda, Hilal, Hasnor Huda and my very own cousin, Shima. ada lagi kot a few. takleh nak recall la pulak. apa pun, congrats to all of you. sorryla kalo ada yg aku takpat datang tu. faktor masa, distance n kerja. i really appreciate your invitations though. and also.. ada gak sampai kat telinga aku a few yg bakal menjadi ibu! wahhh.. seronoknya~ *tepuk2 tangan*. congrats to Jasmin, Yanti and Olly! hope everything went well. you guys are gonna be great mothers :)

2009 is the year when aku byk memenuhi impian diri sendiri. since childhood, there are a lot of things yg aku suka tapi aku tak buat atas sebab duit or lack of self confidence. takdelah aku nak ckp aku begitu boosted dgn keyakinan diri skrg ni. maybe it's different by the way i view things nowadays. yelaa.. makin lama makin muda kan. so basically if you miss something now, u might never get a second chance. muda skali je kan? and so i did..
the first dream that i've fulfilled, tadaaa...

hahaha. saje je kan tunjuk2 gambar. abeh aku nak cerita karang panjang sangat. nantilah kay bila ada masa. huhu. iya.. Tarian Melayu. and iya.. even aku sendiri pun tau janji aku takleh pakai.
the 2nd dream..

it's Yoga. dah lamaaa sgt aku nak join Yoga. tapi asik short budget. and plus, susah betul nak carik a yoga class around here. but i finally managed to! best. Yoga is a very good form of exercise. it leaves you feeling so relaxed n fresh. nampak cam senang je kan. tapi sebenarnya langsung tak. mmg berpeluh abes. me loike~. tapi skrg aku dah kurang sket la beryoga. byk masuk kelas terkinja2. huhu.

and the 4th dream.. hurm.. tamo gitau dulu la. omputih bilang, tamo 'jinx' it. ahahaha. poyo amat. but it will come true in February! insya Allah. hope everything goes well. adalah tak sabar!!

in terms of time, tahun ni mmg terrible la. unless planned, i could hardly make time for anything. jarang sgt dpt comply to benda2 ad-hoc. juggling work, family, friendship and me-time is kinda crazy. so.. often ada saja yg akan kecik ati ngan aku. korang jangan marah kay. kadang2 aku pun kecik ati ngan diri sendiri sbb takpat buat benda2 yg aku nak.
through out last year.. ntah dah berapa ramai orang yg aku lost contact. the phrase 'Keep In Touch' tu mmg ala2 mission impossible utk aku. ya ampun..
yg ni satu penyakit yg aku tak reti caner nak ubat. aku ni bukanla friendly orangnya. kalo bukan ngan kawan2 or my groupies, aku mmg basically susah nak bersuara *unbelievable?.. believe it*. aku tatau caner nak berbual ngan orang yg aku tak kenal or dah lama tak jumpa. it will basically be.. "hie.. wassap? ko sihat ke?" pastu nanti dia jawab "sihat.. ko sihat?" then aku jawab "sihat" pastu??? aku mmg dah habis idea. biasanya soalan seterusnya dari orang tu adalah "ko dah kawin ke?". hmm.. haruslah aku
hm i guess the email was true then. dulu penah dpt satu email ni. something like.. no matter how close you are with someone.. bila dah distant, at first u'll be too busy to be in contact. then when u r finally free.. u wouldn't know what to say. pastu dah terlalu lama tak contact, dah segan. pastu.. pastu The End la. say no more. huhuu. i hope that doesn't happen to me.
so, attention to.. *kengkonon korang mengikuti blog aku* : Munie, Rika, Ikien, Juliza, Sarah, Helen, Apai.. aku bukan tamo contact korang. aku tatau apa nak ckp. huhuuu.. tulun.

last year i got a new member in the family. i'm SO excited about him. here he is..!!

Muhsin bin Said Al-Katiri. comel kan?? geram aku. born on the 03Sep09, Muhsin is the official 1st member of the 4th generation of my family. how cool is that?! according to his father, he weighed 3910gms and was 50cm tall at birth. ahaha. interesting facts. nama Muhsin tu bermaksud.. "insan yang melakukan perkara2 kebaikan" *kalo aku tak silap la*. while i'm writing this.. he's already 3 months old. probably tengah nible2 his toys. hehe. hurm.. dah almost 2 months aku takpat jumpa dia. he's far away in Singapore. so what i can do is stalk ibu ngan abah dia punya facebook. ngiahaha. so to Muhsin. Aunty misses you!!

so that's about it. sedikit sebanyak about 2009 yg aku boleh ingat.
unlike 2009.. i started 2010 with no hopes what-so-ever. aku terima je apa saja pun. tahun 'papejelah' utk aku. but still.. i hope it would be a blast. minus the age part of course.
so let's start 2010 with some ground rules:
a) sape ckp pasal umur, akan aku tembak tanpa sebarang amaran.
b) sape ckp pasal kawin, aku bom.
ok dah. tak tau nak ckp apa dah. till next time!!
