2017 Best Nine
January 1, 2018
I am excited to write a new post today. It is 2018, guys! Wohoooo.
A brand new year insyAllah! Really looking forward to more uncertainties it will offer. And hopefully, I have prepared my heart and mind perfectly better for 2018. :)
After checking the best nine pictures on Instagram, I realized I already described most of the events behind them in my blog. :D Wahaaa, senang kerja nak recall.
My first snowboarding experience ever. Too bad that I tried it only during my final year there. But, never mind, still one of my best memories!
2.
I love to collect postcards when I was in Czech. Just for now, all postcards are safely stored in my wardrobe. I am not allowed to stick anything on my bedroom wall. Haha.
3.
The day I guided a hike for a family of 5. :) There are not much of any other travelers / backpackers I met who requested personally to hike somewhere in Czech. :D But I used to take few Malaysian students from Sweden, Egypt and China to go hiking in Adrspach.
4.
My favourite route to run / jog / cycle in Hradec Kralove. :) It is beautiful in any weathers, any seasons as well.
5.
One of the best 2017 moments is this! Finally graduated from Charles University! :D
6.
I totally have no idea that I will have the chance to hike somewhere in Tanah Haram. :)
Ya Allah, the feeling was really great to be able to imagine how Rasulullah hike this hill to calm himself from the surrounding people and this was the place Rasulullah s.a.w. received the first revelation (wahyu). I felt so overwhelmed to have a chance to pray on top of the hill and inside Gua Hira'. SubhanAllah <3 <3
7.
I still remember the date. 12/1/2017. The day I passed my first STEX exam in 2017 and it was Ayah's birthday too :) I always have the thought of walking on a frozen river, and I got the chance that day :)
To trust myself.Wow, another thing to be grateful, Alhamdulillah <3
And to trust Allah.
On how He leads my heart.
8.
My countless time at Letenske sady, my all the time favourite place to hang out in Prague. Not really hang out I must say, but I love to be there, so much! :)
9.
Another beautiful town in Czech. :) It was when I took my parents to Cesky Krumlov.
------------------------------------
I am glad that I am doing this post. A good feeling to have on the first day of 2018. I received lots of love in 2017, I should not forget and ignore this fact. Alhamdulillah thumma Alhamdulillah!
May 2018 be great in its own way!
O Allah, for any challenges You plan to test me, may You provide strength and courage as well. Ameen! :)

2017 In Retrospect: Review of My Year
December 31, 2017
While scrolling the news feed of my Instagram, I came across an instastory of an ex-schoolmate of mine. She shared these 12 questions which are quite interesting for me to reflect and to make a review of my 2017.
I don't really have a personal diary to keep this, so I am taking the risk to share it here. Nothing much for you guys to read, it is more to my own memory. Just hoping that things you've read will be kept exclusively here, especially those who knows me personally.
:)
:)
1. What were your top 10 greatest achievements in 2017?
Seems like I can't recall them. But, let me try.
- Being in 3 countries for new year 2017. (Travel)
- Finally graduated from a medical school. (Education)
- Survived 6 years of living in a foreign country which now I miss it so much. (Life)
- Europe trip 2.0 with my parents. (Travel)
- Solo winter hike to Morskie Oko - 1,395 meters. (Travel)
- Successfully help my family to organise my brother's wedding. Hello, my sister in law. :) (Life)
- Managed to save money for future. (Financial)
- Maintaining my body weight. (Fitness)
- Ran my fastest 5km in less than 30 minutes. (Fitness)
- Performed my first umrah with my parents. (Life)
Wow, not that bad :)
2. What were your top 10 greatest lessons in 2017?
Since I usually share life lessons I learned on the go on my Twitter, let me copy and paste them here. Some of them are my own thoughts, while the rest are either retweeted or quoted :)
- "Procrastination is your enemy. It doesn't kill you. It destroys your future."
- "It is okay to make mistakes, but not repetitive mistakes without any attempts to change them."
- "The real test of your character is when circumstances don't go the way you want. Will you then remain a kind, caring & good-hearted person?"
- "The hardest decision you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder."
- "Always make time for your parents and treat them well. Because one day, when you look up from your phone, they won’t be there anymore"
- "It's about trust. They gave freedom and please take care of it. Jangan rosakkan nama family. They will always trust you."
- "Do you still remember those days you prayed to have something you have now?"
- "Don't just be good to others, be good to yourself too."
- "Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes help me and sometimes opposes me. - Imam Al-Ghazali"
- "Remember Allah in your time of ease and He will remember you in your time of difficulty."

| Love! |
3. What was the biggest risk you took in 2017?
I took a huge step to involve myself in a relationship with the goal of marriage. Wow, such a confession. T_T But, it did not end well. It was complicated and confusing enough but I guess it ended for our own good?
Just please pray for me that I will totally let it go (still on my way to, I can do this!) and refresh my mind that I will met someone better for me.
4. What was the smartest decision you made?
Backing off from anything that will hurt me more, before I continue sacrificing my self-worth.
5. What three important relationships that have improved the most?
With my parents. Well, I've stayed away from home for quite a long time. It was a bit hard to adapt with the fact that they are growing older. But, this is something that I have improved and still need to improve myself - taking good care of them.
With my brother. Haha we never go a day without sibling arguments. Biasalah, setiap masa ada je benda nak annoy each other. :D :D But, I think this improved so much than before.
With my long-lost friends. I tried to reconnect with friends whom I've not contacted since ages. Alhamdulillah, it feels great to be able to reach each other and talk about random stuffs and life.
6. Who are the three people who have had a huge impact on your life in 2017?
- That someone. I can't say I regret knowing each other. One of the impressive people I've met, but luck was not on our side.
- Ayah. The moment when he can keep calm and be diplomatic much when handling issues involving emotions, I mean if it is me, I might turn into a hulk.
- My cousin. She is strong enough to face A LOT OF CHALLENGES before her wedding ceremony! Serious sprained ankle. Chickenpox. Job problems.
7. What are the three compliments you would have liked to have been given to you in 2017?
- "You have done a good job, in mostly everything. It is the effort that counts. Nevertheless, you did great! :)"
- "It is okay not to achieve that something right now, your time will come and you will shine!"
- "You are a strong girl, I know. But, please know that it is okay to cry. Let it out, let it go."

- A brand new day, every time I wake up in the morning. Another day to explore.
- Never ending support from my family.
- Feeling of contentment somehow despite the struggles.
9. What one word sums up your entire 2017?
Vigorous.
Vigorous.
Quoted from my cousin -
"2017? A year with the most challenges, with the most rizq (rezeki), with the saddest events and with the happiest moments."
Agree with that :)

A Beautiful Way to End 2017
December 30, 2017
2017 has been good to me so far, despite some challenges here and there where I literally lost myself and approaching the end of year, I think I am slowly recovering and getting back to the real me. Not 100% as things changed, incidents happened - life will never be the same again. But, I guess it is time to re-brand myself and be better in another way.
Maybe to conclude a year needs a special blog post and I will try my best to write one.
But, this one is to reserve memorable experiences I gained with my parents in Makkah and Madinah. Alhamdulillah, finally I had the chance to go there after years of planning.
It was beautiful, in its own way.
People.
Buildings.
Scenery.
Food.

The most beautiful is obviously,
the A T M O S P H E R E.
That can never be found anywhere else.
May I have the chances to be there again, and again. Ameen :)

December 5, 2017
This challenge ended weeks ago and I already received my medal before December :D
This post is just as appreciation and to congratulate myself on trying my best to be discipline in keep running for a total of 50 kilometers within 21 days. :) It was hard, honestly - from time management, energy, laziness, other priorities, other attractions etc but alhamdulillah while doing this, I manage to maintain my weight since I returned home for good. Yeay!
Well, not to gain weight at home is such a bless!
Despite all these yummy food.
Alhamdulillah!
Towards more medals and most importantly, towards good health and healthy lifestyle. Ameen.
