Only one and a half months into the new Hijrah year and I am already struggling with my
resolutions.
Sigh.
I must try harder, I must !
I can't believe 2012 is going to end in a couple of days.
I figured I'd list down a revised version of my resolutions to remind me once again that I have to follow through ! So here's my revised 1434H resolutions list a.k.a my 2013 resolutions:
- Not to miss my daily prayers and try to pray on time whenever I can. This is a constant struggle for me, isk isk.
- Try to cover my aurah properly - make sure my chest, neck, butt and arms
are fully covered, buy and wear more long skirts/dresses/loose
pants instead of jeans or form-fitting pants. Constant struggle too, isk isk.
- Try to read at least one page of the Qur'an a day.
- Strive to be a better wife, Mummy, daughter, sister, friend and worker. InshaAllah.
- Work out a minimum of three times a week. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays perhaps ?
- Cut down on fast foods, junk food and carbonated beverages. I can already see Mr. Sunshine rolling his eyes. Hehe.
- Keep on sharing the goodness of Shaklee with everyone ! :)
I think that should do it. InshaAllah.
I've been really bad on updating this space, since becoming a Mummy. Hehe. I think I'm gonna go ahead and summarize a few happenings around November and December.
I met up with my BFF (always wanted to write that in a post, I feel like Paris Hilton already !) of 14 years - who is 7 months (now 8) pregnant - after a looong time ! Alhamdulillah, I am ecstatic for her and I can't wait for her to give birth to Khayla's 'cousin'. InshaAllah. :)

| Love you ! |
Another best friend of mine lost her mum to cancer last week. Inalillah. :'(
It's heartbreaking that I can't be there for her as much as I want to.

Marlene had her diploma convocation early this month. Woot ! Alhamdulillah, congratulations little sister ! I only have two pictures with me, the rest are with Marc.
Mr. Sunshine and I took leave to go to the Big Bad Wolf Sale. I had to miss the previous sales because we were in Terengganu. We went on the first day of the sale and went on a book shopping frenzy ! I had to resist the urge to go again and again.
 |
| The damage. |
 |
| Two very happy shoppers ! |
I passed my induction. Alhamdulillah.
I was on medical leave for two weeks due to conjunctivitis. Isk isk. Wasn't a
comfortable experience, but I'm grateful to be cured now. Alhamdulillah.
We spent Christmas afternoon at Aunt Thelma & Charlotte's like every year with pie, devil curry and good company of relatives. No turkey though this year, hehe. We had to leave early to attend Mr. Sunshine's friend's wedding. Isk. I think next year we should be there a little later so that we can meet all of our relatives who are usually present. Please note that my eyes aren't fully recovered yet in these photos. Hee.

That same night, Mr. Sunshine and I treated the whole family to dinner & dessert at Swensen's. This was to celebrate Marc's belated birthday (he turned 26 a month ago, haha) and Marlene's graduation. :)
 |
| Pretty sister and I. Ugh my eyes ! |
 |
| Mr. Sunshine and I. Ugh my eyessss ! |
 |
| Daddy Candy ! |
 |
| This was the beginning of a drama in which Khayla cried her lungs out because she didn't want to get in the car with her Mummy and Ayah. She wanted to stay with her Auntie Linn ! |
I think I've pretty much summed up my November and December.
Ok bye.
xoxo
