Birthday Bliss 💌

On the auspicious occasion of my birthday on February 2, 2024, I consciously opted for a day of tranquility, treating myself to a modest celebration with a personal cake. The simplicity of the day, however, took a delightful turn upon my return to the hostel, where an unexpected and heartwarming celebration awaited.

To my surprise, my dedicated doctors, Dr. Puven and Dr. Ghana, had patiently waited, joining forces with my cherished friends, Shika and Pau. What followed was a heartwarming 25 minutes filled with soulful singing, genuine wishes, and a surprise gift that touched my heart— a thoughtful set of Body Shop goodies from Dr. Puven.

This unexpected celebration not only added an extra layer of joy to my birthday but also underscored the significance of the connections we forge in unexpected places. The camaraderie of friends and the genuine warmth of my doctors made the day truly unforgettable.

As I reflect on the well-wishes and sweet messages I received throughout the day, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Birthdays serve as reminders of the wonderful people in our lives, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took a moment to share their wishes and prayers.

To each well-wisher, I wish you a year ahead filled with blessings, joy, and prosperity. May your journey be adorned with success and your path be illuminated by happiness. As you have played a special role in making my day memorable, I hope life showers you with abundant love and fulfillment.

Let this year be a tapestry of beautiful moments, and may you find strength in challenges and solace in moments of peace. Your blessings are not just words to me; they are cherished sentiments that I carry with me into the coming year.

Here's to the magic of unexpected celebrations, the warmth of genuine connections, and the beauty of sharing joy with those who matter most. As we navigate the chapters ahead, let us all be players in each other's lives, contributing to a collective narrative of love, kindness, and shared blessings. 🎉


Alhamdulillah (Praise Be To God)
For another blessed year!

My Liberty - Notes

On October 7, 2021, I made the difficult decision to quit my first job due to toxic treatment and discrimination. Despite enjoying the work, I couldn't tolerate the mistreatment. Grateful for Allah blessing me with a loving and understanding family, I shared my struggles with them, deciding that enough was enough. That day, before noon, with my mother, I submitted my resignation, uncertain if I should be proud or regretful. Looking back, I question if I'm proud or regretful, acknowledging the complexity of decisions. In January 2022, seeking change, I applied for a job in Johor Bahru, aiming to contribute to my family and step out of my comfort zone.

Decisions Dilemmas

I find it impressive and somewhat envy-inducing to witness individuals who can confidently navigate their choices. Now, let's delve into discussing the complexities of decision dilemma. I grew up in a messy household. Don't get me wrong, by messy, I mean chaotic, as my parents never set or expected anything from us. While they encouraged freedom of options, advice was limited to 'just study.' The absence of clear guidance left me navigating life's choices without a defined target, fostering a unique perspective on decision dilemmas.Moreover, my siblings and I had to navigate a significant phase, or a downfall, alongside our parents. My dad struggled with drug addiction, and as he embarked on his healing journey, we relocated to live with our grandparents—a living arrangement that continues to this day. Throughout my teenage years, my grandparents served as parental figures.They broadened our options and taught us the importance of making informed choices. Initially,...

It's a delicate balance strike, one that often leaves me grappling with conflicting emotions. Yet, amidst this internal struggle, I find solace in the moments spent with those I cherish. Their presence reminds me of the importance of human connections and the warmth they bring to my life. Despite the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead, I am determined to carve out a path that honors both my need for freedom and my deep-rooted bonds with my loved ones. It's a journey of self-discovery and growth, one that I embrace wholeheartedly. In the end, it is these experiences that shape us, molding us into the individuals we are meant to become. I am looking forward to the productive version of myself, where I can continue pursuing my degree and chasing my dreams while striving for financial independence. I eagerly anticipate the emergenc...
