LONG OVERDUE UPDATES & 2022 SO FAR




Assalamualaikum and hello to anyone reading this. This post most probably would be the last post for 2022 because i don't think i will have the free time ever again to blog until January. Especially when i was already drafted my second anniversary blog update on the day of the anniversary but it ended up postponed until my daughter's first birthday, postponed again until the birthday celebration which was two weeks later and until today, literally a month overdue. 

There's a lot going on with this life (of course) but yeah, to update here just by counting the blessings, me and my husband are already being together for two years and our daughter is now one year old. Alhamdulillah. We get to celebrate our anniversary as a family with our little girl and we also managed to set a simple birthday party/ celebration for Aqisya including all of our family members. Though she was sick on the night of the celebration and got warded for the first time at Hospital Putrajaya the day after, but alhamdulillah, she is A-okay now. 

Reflecting on 2022, this year has been about nothing but Aqisya, our daughter (obviously). It's the year about we becoming the new parents, how we learned plenty of new things and managed to raise our baby together until she is one year old (may she lives for many years to come. Amin YRA). As the saying goes; it takes a village to raise a child. It's true though. We didn't just raise her by ourselves but also with my sister (who lives with me), our parents, family and even our colleagues were involved. Especially when Aqisya frequently had fever, cough and flu literally like once a month in general. Our leaves (day off) were all been used not because we were going on holidays or such, but because of the emergency leaves when our baby was not in the pink of health. However, we are both are still thankful since everybody was cooperating well and very understanding towards us. Of course there were hiccups here and there but then again, too few to mention. 

Altogether, i don't think i actually achieved anything big this year other than being a mother. Haha. Probably because i'm so devoted to being a mother especially during this first year being a parent with my first baby that i don't really bother about anything else but her. So yeah, i perhaps shall plan ahead for my 2023 so that i can actually achieve something significant next year for my dear self. May Allah ease everything for us in 2023. The best is yet to come. InsyaAllah.
