2011 has been a whirlwind year for me, like the previous year and the years before....
Personal
I have moved back to my mom's place. She felt sick sometime in February and was bed ridden for about 4 months. I made this decision only because the wiser part in me said this is the right thing to do. Some kids don't have the chance to care for their parents because they're in the city and their folks are at kampung somewhere north or south etc.... and parents are very reluctant to be in a city... and here I am with this possibility to do some good deed, might as well do it while I can. Collecting some good points for my after life...I rented my apartment to a friend. I rather have someone I know than a stranger. At least the house is being utilized. Abandoned house is way too much to handle....
Family
Mom's recovering. She's way better than couple of months back. Sometimes I have to remind her about the food intake. Dad's Alzheimer is not getting any better, although I'm thankful that he can still shower and do business by himself. My youngest sister gave birth to her 3rd child just before Raya. It's a boy, Megat Zeke Rafael. My sister-in-law gave birth to another boy, their 4th child and his name is Mohamad Amir Hudzaifah. Eldest sister??? She's is her own world. I am still not able to forget the fact that she walked out on mommy at the time she needed her the most just to prove to us, her younger siblings, that we will not make it without her. But Allah is great. Ayu, Adoi and me, we made it through. It was not easy but united we stand. We manage to get a replacement maid. She's a blessing given by Allah....I really hope she will stay longer. As for my late brother's kids, we did not meet them even for raya this year... we are really growing apart :-( Just this morning my mom mentioned, to her, Abang is still around. Every time she sits at the garden facing the gate, she kept seeing the vision of him coming to see her. To her, her first baby boy is still around, close to her heart.
Siti's mother passed away on 23/11/2011. She battled her cancer for years. Went free from it for couple of years, it came back and this time it hit hard. Went I last saw her, i knew it was just a matter of time. When i met Siti that morning, I told her, I cannot imagine losing mommy now...The blessing in disguise out of this sadness, eldest sister decided to visit mommy and we somehow get to see Fahin more often.
Relationship
Not much improvement here... although i do received lots of junk emails from dating sites and fb, which i made an effort to reply and then delete as soon as i received the first response....sighhhh..... although i am not particularly disappointed by it, but then again i am only human... like a friend said, mas kau mesti la go out, meet people, make the effort....it seems like a mountain of effort to do socializing at this age. I just want to go home and snuggle.....
Career
Quite rough for the 1st half but it became better in the later part. For the latter, I thanked the 2 memos I received courtesy of my Assistance bitching about me to my Boss. Although I felt betrayed, i made it clear to them that I was not happy about how it went down and then thank them for making me a better leader... The Big Boss granted us including moi, an Ipad 2 - Thank you Boss.... We went to Melaka for a budget retreat. The easiest retreat ever as no presentation required.
I screwed my left knee in Casa Del Rio, Melaka during an inspection. Damn sakit ok! Was on crutches for 2 weeks. And there goes high heels for the rest of my life. I have resorted to wearing pumps nowadays.
Holidays
Sometime in April I went to Paris, Berlin, Prague and London. I was there when William and Kate got hitched! It was awesome to be back in London. No matter what people say or even londoners themselves, I love living in London, provided you're earning pounds! I will forever cherished my living experience there.This time, i went alone. Backpackers style! Stayed in friend's place.
Then in November I went to Bali! My first trip ever with another 2 girlfriends. It helps that they've been there before. I will probably go there every year... :-) not a bad place to go where language and food is not an issue.
Ouh and somewhere in between, I went to Penang with my fellow housekeepers. It was hilarious to travel with bunch of noisy housekeepers! We had great time and most importantly, good food moment!
Financial
I screwed up pretty bad. The euro trip really burn me.... So 2012 will be topping the funds back year.
Manchester United
We lost to the noisy neighbor's with a heart breaking scoreline. And Fergie celebrated his 70th birthday today with a 2-3 lost to Blackburn. What a way to end the year....The jinx was on me of course. MU seems to lose every match that I watched at the hotel...hmmm....
So cheers to 2012. May God bless us with glad tidings, better health and wealth surrounded by our loved ones.
Resolutions? I just want to be a better person spiritually and mentally.
