Alhamdulillah, i am grateful for everything.

Wow. Five years since my last post. Well, a whole lot has changed in five years. I never knew what dreams are made of and i never knew what it was like to achieve your dreams. Through hard work and pure grit and determination, you can achieve your dream. There will be times where you think your goal is just out of reach or it will take you a longer time than originally hoped for but trust yourself to make small leaps of faith and many unimaginable things can be achieved. As a Muslim, i believe Allah is the best of planners and alhamdulillah, He is the best of planners. There were times i doubted myself about my life and what i wanted to do because the journey to achieve my dreams is taking longer than i had imagined. Five years ago i was still in the National Service serving in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as a Third Sergeant taking NSmen for Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and conducting Remedial Training (RT) as well as IPPT Preparatory Training (IPT). In 2014, i had

36th Monthsary

It has been three years since 2012 and it's been nothing short of amazing. Sure there were times when we quarreled like small kids, got upset over even the smallest matter but i'm more proud to say we were always happy to be with each other. We protect each other like siblings and love each other like husband and wife. I'm just so glad that three years ago, we were brought together. No one would have imagined that an innocent outing such as house visiting during hari raya would turn out to be our meeting place. I would tell my children how i meet their mother and how powerful Allah is to show us to our fate and meet our soulmate. It never occurred to me that i would meet such a beautiful girl in my entire life.  Dear Nur Syairah, Thank you for the amazing three years. I hope we will continue until eternity and reach our goal in five years. You are nothing but perfect. You are beautiful. Thank you for each and every moment that you stood by me and for making me feel

Selamat Hari Raya 2015!

It's the time of the year again and this year, it's different because i'm in NS so i won't have much green packet collection as before. But nonetheless, it's an occasion to celebrate the end of Ramadhan and forgiving so there's nothing to be sad about. Plus, my allowance is more than enough. Not bragging, just ensuring others that i'm not sad. Really. Anyway, i've finally graduated from SCS on the 25th June 2015 to become a 3rd Sergeant in the SAF. It's so much pride and happiness because i endured the first week of Ramadhan doing rehearsals and lessons. The rehearsals were no joke because it's serious, duh, and also because the weather was not forgiving at all. It was scorching hot and made our throats dry like it was draught season. So we the Muslims had to endure and persevere the hot weather and sun tanned ourselves until our skin was two-tone. Luckily i'm dark enough so the Sun was like, "i'll skip this one". Every eve

Much regrets in life.

Sometimes in life, many things don't always go your way and certainly relationships is one of them. There are many times where you take for granted the things you have easy to you and forget that it all comes with a price. All the effort you put in and time you spent to achieve what you have or what you want may be gone in seconds if you do not take proper care of that prized possession. Certainly, people fail in many ways, to realise that keeping and maintaing the peace amd harmony in a relationship is a more difficult task than merely creating one. It's effort and maybe money to keep it upright and headed in the right direction. Every single thing you do is no longer about you anymore. It's all about your future and your other half. You got to stop and think that maybe life is all about finding out more of yourself through your other half. I don't know about the rest but for me, mistakes can only be made none. There's no room for mistakes but you can't expect

950 days and counting.

It's been only three months since i re-enlisted into Specialist Cadet School (SCS) in Pasir Laba Camp but felt like many years. I've been busy with training and juggling time to keep up with my family, my loved one and the outside world. I haven't met my friends for quite some time already, Shall find time for them after graduation.  On the bright side, i have only 63 days left (as of this post) to graduating as a 3rd Sergeant. On top on that, i've only 27 days left in Singapore before my departure to Sai Yok Camp in Thailand for overseas training. I'm excited but at the same time feeling a little saddened to be leaving my loved ones for three weeks or so. Nevertheless, it'll be a new experience for me and something for me to learn from. This post is just a short update of my life just to get the dust off this dusty place. (don't remind me of the outdated colour scheme) Anyway, as the title suggest, it's been a whopping 950 days since 16th Septe
when you feel like the whole world is against you and you have nobody to turn to all you can do is keep quiet and live like there's nothing bothering you because tough times don't last tough people do

meet the family.

Well, yesterday was awesome. It was legendary. And honestly, very memorable. Though it's still fresh in my mind, but i have no doubt that it will stay in my mind for the next century and more. What happened was a unique experience which i have never been through in my entire life. Yesterday marks the first. I was invited (or self-invite rather :P) to her place for a gathering to celebrate her parents' anniversary. Being at her place was not a problem because it wasn't my first, nor meeting her big family because i had dinner with them before. But it's quite a tough thing to combine both at once; meet the family at her place. Quite a scary thing i must say. As normal people, we would feel nervous meeting people for the first time. And so i did. I was so nervous and scared of how to carry myself in front of my future family members. I was scared of what to do, what to say, how to say, how to sit, where to sit, where to stand, how to eat. Everything. I was scared. I s
