 Assalamualaikum!

Hi, guys! How are y'all doing? Alhamdulillah, I'm doing good. Still standing strong, despite all those that happened. I am still manage to smile, not letting any negativity dragging me down. :)

So, today is October 14. Just so you know that yesterday, Oct 13 was the day my brother got married to the love of his life. After 5 years of knowing each other, they finally tied the knot yesterday. 

Actually, they are supposed to be together on Oct 24. However, due to the sudden announcement of CMCO 2.0, both parties (the bride and the groom) decided to just nikah yesterday. As long the wajib one has been settled, everyone is good. The ceremony is postponed to a later date. Besides that, ince it was just a nikah ceremony, the only people attending it was us, the closest family. Alhamdulillah, everything went well.

To Alang,

Congratulations on your wedding. Selamat bercinta sampai syurga. I pray that you are able to lead your spouse until Jannah. I believe that. Though that you already have a wife, I am still your little baby. Dont forget that. Heheheh. Please pamper me, more. I dont care. Jaga Nadia elok-elok. Lead her well. Be a great husband, and a great father soon. You are a good brother to me. You've done your best, so far. Thank you for everything that you have done. 

To Nadia, 

Welcome to the family. Semoga dengan kehadiran awak, keluarga kita bertambah lagi meriahnya. We might be awkward at first. But, no worries. Time flies. I believe, we'll get through the awkwardness later on. Hehehe. Feed Helmi more, okay. Gemukkan dia, please. Congratulations, too.

For You

 Aung, 

This year you will turn 35. But you are not with us anymore. You are far away from us, at someplace way better than this dunia. I believe you are doing good over there, while watching us. 

Aung, 

I misses you. Always. I still could not get over the fact that you are not here, living in the same world. I dont like the fact that whenever people ask, I tell them that I only have four siblings now. I hate the fact that my 'aung' is not with me anymore. I hate that I still cry whenever I think of you, of our final moment together. 

Aung,

Alang is getting married soon. I bet if you are still here, you will be as busy as you were during Kakak's time. You will be busy managing this and that to ensure everything will go smoothly. You will be busy asking Mama about the preparation. You will give advice about this and that as we are not really experienced in handling weddings. 

You must be very happy, kan Aung, that Alang is finally settling down with the love of his life. You must be very proud that Alang is finally taking over a huge responsibility, and be a man, soon. You know, Angah is happy, too. Eventhough he is quite sad that Alang is overtaking his turn, but I'm sure he is so proud of him. Dont ask about me. Hahaha. I am beyond happy. 

Aung,

Thank you for everything you have done for us. Thank you for everything! I am sorry that I am not yet a great adik for you and others. Believe me, I am still learning. Learning to live, to survive in this world. And I am still learning to be the best achu for your kids (Emir, Sarra, and Umar), as well as Kakak's kids (Syifa' and Khalid). 

You know, Emir is a big boy now. He is very responsible, taking care of his adiks. Sarra, too. Even sometimes they are too annoyed with Umar's behavior. Hahaha. Kids, kan? Umar is very manja. Manja with everyone. Oh, he cant live without beyblade, brother. Kak Cha said he will ask her to buy new beyblade everyday without realising that his beyblade is two bags full, already. 

Oke, enough, lah. I dont want to be sad. Let us be happy. Hahah. Semoga syurga untuk Aung. Aminn.

Alone?

Heyya!

Have you guys ever experience the situation where you are comfortably being alone, having little to no one to talk to every day. Then, suddenly there's someone try to crash in your bubble, try to be friend with you, check on you frequently, until you feel overwhelmed with the feelings of having a FRIEND? And then, one day, that one friend is busy with their personal matter, with their things. Being busy until they forget to check on you? How do you feel? 

I feel sad. I dont know why. But it is upsetting. And I feel frustrated / disappointed as well. Disappointed with my self for letting all that to happen as I already know that people are not going to be by your side as frequent as you want. They have their life. They have their things to do. I know I am not supposed to feel this way. But... Hm.

Duduk Rumah!

Haluuuu!

We are currently under 'Movement Control Order' due to the pandemic outbreak, CoVID-19. We are not allowed to go out, unless necessary. Not allowed to cross the state border. Some are not allowed to even go to work, unless it is an essential job. Most of the shop are close, except the essential one such as supermarket. The one that is really important that if it is closed, people will be in trouble. Supposedly the MCO end today, 31032020. But, due to any circumstance, it has been extended. Until April, 14.

Let us all pray for the best, pray that all this will end soon. And everything is back to normal.

Not to forget, to take this event as a trigger to reflect ourself. On what has we neglected, or take for granted before. Let us learn to be more appreciative (is there such word, huh?).

Finally, I take this opportunity to thank all the front-liners, that struggle to save lives, that sacrifice themselves for a better situation. Thank you. We got this. You work for us, we stay at home for you. We are in this together. #KitaJagaKita, remember?

MBA? Me-Busy-Always '19

Heyya!

What's up?

Assalamualaikum. 

We are in 2020 already. What is your achievement so far? We used to have that vision and goals that we want to achieve in 2020, right? School's vision, business firms, etcetera. Have we achieve that? Or almost touching it? Though the current vision has been brought forward to 2030 (or 2050, eh?), I believe every one is doing their (read: our) best to achieve the goals. Keep moving forward. Don't give up!

It's 2020. And I am still struggling finishing my MBA. There is no more class to attend everyday, but there is a thesis to be done. Currently in my semester break, I am still thinking what kind of topic to research at. Hm. I need to meet my future supervisor to get some advice. 

Talking about MBA, it was an amazing journey. Even though not a smooth journey, but I enjoy the ride. Never have I imagine myself to have such a supportive friend. Honestly, I feel grateful that we crossed each other's path. (kasi love bebanyak cikeddd.) What I feel grateful the most is that THEY FEED ME! I used to starve myself. Eat? I can go days without eating because I think that I have lots other thing that is more important than eat. But they never failed to bring me food every day of class. They cant stand watching me, a thin, smol and sekeping figure. Eh you know, sometimes when they hug me, there is always "Ya Allah kecik nya budak ni. Sekeping nya dia niii." Hm. What to do? Hahahah. 

But, yah! Thank you for everything, my MBA-mates. From Kak Suki, Abe Haz, Kak Qila, Di, Fong, Haq, and Nanad. Thank you for this friendship, the bond that we have created since day 1. Thank you for being such a supportive classmate and a good friend. I am sorry for everything. Sorry for all harsh, and bad attitude from me. I am still learning to be a better person. I am truly sorry for everything. Halalkan makan, minum, ilmu, nasihat, dan everything. I owe you guys big time. I love you, kawan-kawan. Ada rezeki, let us gather together, ukieeee? Kiss cikedd. :*

Adioss!
