End of 2019 & a decade.

"'10s - A decade of growth and evolution"

It's 8 A.M. and I decided to blog now as I have plans later on in the evening till night. Today is New Year's Eve and it's the last day of 2019 and the last day of the 2010s decade. Phewwwww, I feel it is really a good time to do a reflection on this year and a whole decade. So, there will be 3 parts to this blog post including my New Year's/Decade's Resolution. END OF 2019 This year wasn't that superb yet wasn't so bad. Actually, if I were to cut all the bad memories out, the good memories of this year would top all of the other good memories of any other years. So let's recap my Highlights of 2019... 1. Umrah This will definitely be at number one. Doing Umrah is one of my favourite things to do. I just love it and I just hope I'll get to do it again and again and again. 2. Getting a cat, Marble I think this year is definite that year that I recieve unexpected opportunities and most of my doa are being answered. Having another cat after Po's death was always one of my wish and after 4 years, he is here and I love him so much.

3. Meeting Neelofa & Vivy Yusof

Who would have actually thought I would meet these two lovely ladies on the same year and really get inspirations from there and start up my own scarf brand @safaascarves. Ma shaa Allah! 4. Discovering career opportunities This year, I went out of my comfort zone to become an admin and I realise that IT ISN'T FOR ME. It bores me till death - I am not even kidding. Though it is an easy job but I feel like I needed a little challenge here and there. But I am glad I experienced it this year and I know what I love and what I do not love to do. 5. Seeking help for my mental health I think this experience was a eye-opener for me and definitely something I feel, I need to take extra measures in 2020.

2019 have been a year of exploring and discovering myself. There were many many things I went out of my comfort zone this year and I can say that I am so proud of myself. I am also blessed that every step of the way is a stepping stone to success and it's not all a waste even though I didn't really like some parts of 2019. Some things are very umcomfortable but I managed to pull myself out of my comfort zone circle and I am just thankful that since I am already out there, might as well do more crazier things. HAHAHA END OF A DECADE Hold up guys! 10 years ago, I was just 13 and just stepping into a new school starting secondary school education. Who would have thought the people I met there and then would be my ride or die now?? Even after 10 freaking years! I personally think this decade will be one of the most unique decade of all because I am constantly learning and changing. I am constantly evolving into someone better. I am constantly thinking and innovating. I am constantly going through life changing events. I am constantly exploring life.

From secondary school, I learn a lot about innovations, time management, priorities, good attitude, decision making, maintaining good health, being independent, being a leader. There were many things I learnt during the 2010-2013 period. That was one of my peaks in my life as I have gone through so much in just 4 years. Going into Poly, I was quite chill. I learn about volunteerism and just focused on myself and religion. I learn more about Islam and mixed around with many types of people - from madrasah to secular. I met people from the worst attitude to those who were sweethearts. I met people who went through hardships to people who were still in their own free-of-hardships-happy-world. There were many knowledgable skills I learnt during 2014-2016 especially when I met N. N thought me so many things and we shared really fun memories together and went through so much together. But that's just the beginning. 2017-2018 was ONE OF THE TOUGHEST AND MOST TOUGHEST phase of my life. That is the reason why I blogged to keep me sane and also I think that I grew so much as a person. This pain and experience is something that not everyone can go through and learn from it. Through this experience, I became a wiser person and someone I am today. I can never be very proud of myself. It was really difficult but I managed to pull through. Alhamdulillah.

I think 2019 wraps it all up beautifully. The decade ends beautifully and I am still as excited for the next decade as much as I was excited to enter a new decade in 2009. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION I am really pumped up and (nts) that this is a resolution. There are so many things but I shall not stress it up on myself. 1. Exercise/Jog at least three times a week and stay healthy 2. Drink lesser sugar-ed drinks 3. Finish reading at least 3 books for the whole year

4. Keep blogging weekly 5. Establish a daily/work routine that is healthy 6. Hustle and earn more so I can save up more 7. Don't get too distracted with unnecessary emotions 8. Always solve problems and never run away from it

9. Read at least 2 pages of Quran every day

10. Stay positive always, no matter what That is all for today's post. I might be blogging tomorrow again, in 2020, about my goals of the year. Should I post about what I plan to do in the future like in 5 years time? Because it's really personal at the same time I don't think anyone ever reads this blog right? HAHAHAHA

May Allah s.w.t. ease all our affairs in 2020 and bless us with beautiful things. May Allah s.w.t also guide us to be a better person and a better servant of His. Aamiin. See you next year♡
