2013 - a fresh beginning

Olaaaaa...dah masuk hari ke-3 di tahun 2013 baru ada kesempatan nak buat posting tahun baru ..nak buat camne, akak sibuk ...ni pun buat posting sementara my mum buatkan nasi goreng for my breakfast pagi nie ..hehehe yea lah yealah ...aku anak manja ....i admit that hahaha

2012 has really been challenging to me. Banyak sangat dugaan and cabaran, terutama in my career ...I was offered a place to do PhD seawal Feb last year, tapi ting tong ting tong ting tong punya lah lama, the final decision was made to let me go pada 30 Ogos last year ...by then aku pulak yang berat ati nak pergi coz too soon and tak prepare, so mintak di delay till feb ini. And, Gods willing, aku akan pergi in 3 weeks time ..so 2013 will be a new start for me jugak ...a new place to call home, a new routine, semua nya akan berubah ..doakan lah aku berjaya di sama nanti ...

at the same time, 2012 brings about a new addition to the family. Umang, my niece, was born in June ...such a blessing ...love her to bits ...and we managed to spent Christmas dengan lengkap se-isi keluarga this year ...something yang amat jarang sekali berlaku ...it was a great time dapat jumpa semua ...and it makes me sad coz aku tahu pas nie ntah biler aku dapat tengok muka budak2 nie lagi :-(

tapi what 2012 has taught me was that, whatever happenned in your life, it happens for a reason ...cuma kiter tak nampak lagi apa hikmah nyer ...for one, by delaying my studies and with all that delay ari tu, I got to spend more time with my family and was involved ngan persekolahan adik ...i am happy to be involved his his schooling activities and to know how much he has progress in a short time ...and to know how Al excel at kindy ....kalau aku pergi awal ke NZ dulu, i am sure to miss all that ....and to be able to spent the xmas holiday with Umang - her first christmas - is priceless ....

and it also taught me that, you can only rely on yourself to get what you want ..and that life is sometimes not fair ....banyak cabaran dan dugaan yang dialami untuk mendapatkan sesuatu ..not a easy thing, especially when everything is against you. I am lucky to have a support system - my family and adik beradik 30-something - yang sentiasa di sisi ....kawan ketawa senang dicari, tapi kawan  di saat susah sukar ditemui ..and i am glad to have you guys around me! sayang koranggggg ...nanti, biler aku dah jauh di mata, jgn lupakan aku tau .....always include me in your whatsapp!!!

semoga 2013 membawa seribu kebahagiaan, kesenangan, kemewahan, keakraban dan keistemewaan pada kiter semua ...wishing 2013 will bring us better future and better memories ...Happy New Year 2013 semua

salam sayang,
Ejin
