End-Year Review | Highlights & Favourites

26 December 2018

Salam! Alhamdulillah we almost reach the end of the year! We've made it!

The second half of the year has been so amazing, masyaAllah! I'm loving every single moment of it. 

We've already go through the first half of the year. Now, it's time for some of the highlights, lessons and my favourites for the second half of the year.

HIGHLIGHTS

July - Raya and wedding (Hazirah, Alin and Je) vibes, went to Being Me Conference with Kakak. It's the month of celebration and spending time with family and friends.

August - I went to Sister of Deen Meet Up, Panggung Hujan Bakawali di Rumah Tuhan and Aida Alin KL Meet Up with Zahidah. I went to Kursus Asas Perundangan dan Hak-Hak Wanita alone. My sister in law got engaged and my parents in law went to Hajj. I went to Calm Birth Calm Baby Seminar, Royal Floria Putrajaya and Tanah Akhirku Teater with B. Productive month for me! It was so exhausting but fun!

September - I went to Sister of Deen Gear Up at Taman Botanical KL with Zahidah, went to pedicure with my sisters and went to visit Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia with B. We had steamboat for Bangah's farewell and KFry for Emi's farewell. Went to Ain's long call, my cousin's wedding, sending off Bangah to England and Emi to Egypt. Went to Hatin and Khaliq's wedding at Bidok with B and Dayah. Organize Sabrina's birthday party. Balancing between two family and friends.

October - Celebrated Hanis' birthday at TGIF. Finally khatam my Quran. I'm starting to slow down a little bit. No more talk. It's all about baby's preparation. Wash baby's clothes, give New Dad Kit to B, he gave me a scavenger hunt surprise, then we went to PD for foodhunt. Awin got engaged and Teera's wedding. Celebrate my mother, sister and brother in laws birthday. Managed to finish two puzzles before deliver!

November - My baby's born and it's confinement month! Had a wonderful time being pampered but struggling really hard because I was in so much pain after giving birth. We had a new born photoshoot at our home. A lot of people come to visit us. It's all about recovering, healing and bonding.

December -  Confinement month, Azim got engaged, Chot got engaged. I'm adjusting to motherhood. Trying to get back to my normal routine again. InsyaAllah will be going to Kudo and Usamah's wedding this weekend.

PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT

I've practice a lot of self-care. It's all about loving myself this year. How am I suppose to love other people without being full myself. Taking control what I consume, whether it's social media or food.

PREGNANCY & BABY JOURNAL

Alhamdulillah both mommy and baby are doing great!


Till then, bye!

Love and prayer,
AS
