Self challenge

Hi guys

Hows life..I know its October and things are quite rough to meet year end's targets. Ive started a challenge to myself to list 3 simple things that made me happy that day early this month. Well today is day 23 and it is alhmdulillah still consistently being written everyday in my whatsapp status. Yes public! haha. Actually Ive started two challenges this month but lets talk about this one first.

Well, as the name goes, it is as simple as writing 3 things you feel happy/grateful/syukur for the day and it should be continuously written every single day for 41 days consequently to make it a habit. At first yes, its really hard to start with. I was too stressed everyday, i had so many unhappy things happening making it so difficult to write even a single happy thing. But i started with simple things like, i'm happy i woke up breathing today, my kids are happy and healthy, and my husband is beside me. Yes those kinda simple things. And yet it became much more easier by day. And to date, some days i have more than 3 things to be syukur of for the day. Alhmdulillah. 

Well, i am quite aware that by now mental health level of Malaysians is at a very alarming stage. People are too immensely stressed with work related tasks, economical issues, and also unnecessary competitions between kids they have. Everybody wants to be supermom, everyone wants their children gets the best of the best and be the creme of the crop, but this is actually very sickening and in fact the main factor why some fall into the mental disorders without even realizing they are. For me, its better to follow the low and live. Let it be and move on. Be positive, think positively and try by all means to ease other people's way.

 And I pledge to myself to try to heal myself, avoid all stress factors and take this matter seriously for the people i love. Let it be a small start like this :) Keep in mind peeps : I matters. 

So, let keep all writings sweet and simple. may i reach the 41st day of the happy list campaign.

Oh for the 2nd campaign is to achieve 10.000 steps per day challenge. yes that is a whole different thing. so let write it may be in another time.

Happy working uols.

Love

Taman Tasik Taiping ..me lovey!

Penang..again! Coz we love Penang!

Assalam guys!

So well, it has been days (or months) of hiatus, but im still determined to write. Kalau tak banyak sedikit pun tak apa kan. Janji the spirit of writing is still there and somehow i loved to read up again what have happened to me before. Kinda diary writing juga. Inshallah bermanfaat for my kiddos once they've discovered this blog.

So then, we went to Penang for a short staycation away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This time we tried Copthorne Orchid for our economical stay and would like to see what they can offer. Alhmdulillah everything was up to expectation. The pool, the private hotel beach, the bathtub, even the breakfast spread was really nice.4 stars from me indeed!And to add the excitement, this time around my sister Zakiyya and family came together and we agreed to book the same hotel. I could say this hotel is just worth the stay.

Well, we went to the famous eatery spots for foodies, and tried ais tingkap (sarbat). Had really awesome char kuey teow at Shamrock beach, and also went to visit the disco pasemboq uncle in Gurney drive. Sedap baq hang. That's really the main actually what Penang could offer. Food! The closing was of course our favorite Nasi Beriyani Kambing Kapitan, heaven on earth this one!

Balik naik feri for the kiddos experience and then the Pak Ali Jeruk pit stop..then back to Bukit Merah before heading down south to beloved KL!

Sikit sikit jalah kita tulis. Nanti kita tulis lg nah..refreshing trip alhmdulillah! From all the smelly tap water, haze lagi and the #uninstallfoodpanda campaign lagi..i really had a good time..yeah!

Lets definitely do Penang again!

Love,

Zahra

Shame on you.
Suppressing these drivers. Merely owning how little compared to you.
The more you prosper the more you give ok.
Not otherwise.

No matter how old you are.
Remember that.
