Hello 2019

-
Yes, I know.

It's the end of February.

It's gonna be March soon and that means... the 1st Quarter of the year is going to say goodbye.

As cliche as it is - Time flies!

And..as the matter of fact, I flew together. Got lost somewhere and am back for a reality check.

So, HELLO...!



I'm going to share some flashbacks on how did I lost in time but let's keep it in the next post. I'm quite excited to be having this writing mood with so many things to write about. Been having writer's block since ever. I'm still missing my former blog - but moving on means, a brand new start. It's okay to do it all over again because well... IT'S NEVER TOO LATE.

I will usually start the year with a resolution or a long wish list to go through the entire 365 days with. Some are even recycled from the year before or maybe 2 years before or may forever be in the list (Ha Ha). Some are fresh in the oven and very impossible to achieve; hence it is a wish list. 

This year, turning 36 means I have to be more serious in getting what I wanna achieve in life... for the afterlife. My focus are mostly my family, my career and society. I realized that I can't give much to the society, being just myself. Nobody knows me and I'm not even a public figure. But hey, small act of kindness counts! 

Change is inevitable. A change for a better life is an option. Being a better person needs istiqomah. Change may be easy but to stay istiqomah is tough. 

"Rabbana La Tuzigh Quluubana, Ba'da Idtz Hadaitanaa Wa Hab Lanaa Min-Ladunka Rahmatan, Innaka Antal Wahhaab"

May Allah keep my heart firm in doing good things and keep me Istiqomah. Ameeen.

Reality check.

2018 was not a waste of time but a school on it's own. It taught me things I knew, in a different way. I know how failure looks like. I've been there, done that but still...I failed to sense it. So, I lost. I was drowned in it and I failed to wake up as soon as possible. I'm overwhelmed by the various emotional state that's happening within. Or maybe I was just too lazy to push myself harder as I'm tired. Tired to even use my beautiful brain. 

Luckily, it was not that long until I realized that life is short ; every moment matters. 

2019 is where I am back on track (insyaallah). Things are happening too fast and I am struggling to cope with every single facts, news, rumors, gossips, events, issues and even changes. Climate change, the upside down of economy, the never-ending political chaos, the unmanageable young millennial society, the life that shows no improvement, the money that never sleeps (and never enough) and the dreams that are getting further from reality. 

By now, I have to admit that writing is tougher than it used to be few years back when I was younger. 

Sigh. 

Now it's too late to wish for a younger me. I have to embrace every seconds, everyday and be the best I could...and just be myself. 

So here I am again. Hello 2019 - please be kind to me.


Regards,

NKay

Disebalik Lirik Anak-Anak Kita - Karya Dato' M.Nasir

Dah hampir sebulan duk ralit layan lagu M.Nasir. I memang peminat M.Nasir dari zaman belajar. Mungkin sebab makna-makna tersirat di sebalik lagunya yang bukan je sedap untuk didengar, malahan seronok untuk dikupas. Tapi tak semua pun dapat dikupas dengan mudah. Jenuh juga la tanya encik google. Antara lagu kegemaran I yang patriotik ni adalah lagu Anak-anak Kita. Lagu ni sangat dekat di hati dan sepatutnya menjadi satu mantera untuk orang-orang Melayu. I bukan racist melampau. I faham erti keharmonian hidup di dalam masyarakat majmuk. It's okay. Kita dah lama hidup sekali. Rukun. Tapi, sebagai orang Melayu, I rasa kita patut menjaga hak kita seadanya. Hence the lyric: Jaga Jaga Anak Kita, Jangan Sampai Jadi Hamba Bait-bait di dalam lirik lagu ni jelas sebuah peringatan untuk kita yang hidup agar melakukan segala yang terbaik supaya anak kita nanti bakal menjadi manusia yang ampuh. Dengan perubahan politik semasa, ekonomi dunia yang jatuh bangun mengikut trend, peningkat...

7 Aktiviti Untuk 'Me Time' Yang Berkualiti

Girls, pernah tak rasa u had enough of the world and people around u? And all u wanna do is escape the life u are in and just be by yourself..? I mean, as a human being, the one still breathing - yes. Semua orang pernah rasa macamtu. Kadang-kadang setiap bulan kita akan perlukan sekurang-kurangnya sehari untuk diri sendiri. Kadang-kadang bermusim, ikut mood atau stress level. Just me, myself and I. Tapi bila dah dapat 'me time' tu, tak tau pula nak buat apa. Lepas tu, asyik duk teringat kat semua benda dan semua orang, even for a second. Worst, tak sampai hati pun nak enjoy the 'me time' sebab teringat rumah, husband & anak-anak.  Look, it's nothing wrong to have your own sweet time.  Mom, u need to give yourself some time to breath and be a normal person, not merely a robot whose job is to satisfy everyone.  Wife..yes, u. Relax, your life is not 100% dedicated to be stressed doing the non-stop laundry and house chores. Bertenang dan bagi masa u...

Basic Skincare Routine untuk Newbie

-

Skincare ni memang topik favorite I tambah-tambah kalau orang minta tips atau pendapat. Sebab nya, I sendiri dah melalui proses menambahbaik kulit muka yang dulu banyak acne, jerawat pasir dan fine lines (sebab suka berkerut macam banyak giler masalah). So, entri ni nak cerita sikit pasal Skincare Routine yang I dah amalkan dan akan ditambahbaik dari masa ke semasa. Some of the Products I used for my Skincare Routine Perlu ke tambah baik? Yes, why not.  Sekarang my basic routine dah okay so I nak fokus untuk pores pulak. Maybe nanti kalau I rasa nak achieve glass skin goal pula, so my routine akan ditambah (atau dikurangkan) ikut sasaran. Cuma, untuk permulaan, asas rutin tu kena kukuh dulu. Trust me, it's not gonna be an instant result. Proses akan makan masa walaupun kulit tak ada masalah. Macam I, halangan utama adalah kurang rajin, sebab tu makan masa untuk betul-betul puas hati. Hahaha. But first, here are some disclaimer: 1 - This is gonna be Korean Skinc...
