It's been awhile...

A lot has change over the course of several months. 

I have retired from teaching and joined my father. Basically working alongside him at the company. I am still adjusting with the things I have to do and the working momentum. One of my clients called me Lady Boss which is quite funny. I'm still far from being anyone's boss right now. Business is a whole different ball game to teaching. You are doing everything. From sales, to managing, accounting, buying even doing your own production. It is definitely not easy to do.

I have a vision for the company. It's just the way I manage it is different from my father. I hope Allah will be able to guide me and the company will be able to achieve our goal. In Syaa Allah.

My son has turned 1 two months ago. We had a birthday party for him. Well the point of the birthday party was him to socialise with other children and basically get together with a few friends. MashaAllah, he surprises me everyday. Being a mother is so fulfilling. I am even more busier than I am when I was teaching. It is heart wrenching seeing him cry when I leave for work. I pray very hard for Allah to pour out rezeki for us so that I will be able to spend more time with my son and watch him grow.

My husband and I have decided to move out of my parent's home end of this year. Both my parents are upset over it. But, I think it is for the best. 

I hope to be able to update this space more often in the future. May you all have a barakah Friday ahead of you.

Marriage is Fragile

Marriage is fragile.
It needs constant care and admiration
and above all,
utmost respect for both partners.
This constitutes respect for their family, friends
and everything else that a partner deems important.

Marriage is fragile.
It has to be truthful, honest
and transparent.
Its like a see through looking glass.
No point hiding anything
Trust me,
Your partner is looking right through you
Your every pain, sadness,
Guilt

Marriage is fragile
It is easily shattered
Like glass
when it gets broken
the tiny shards
are just so hard to clean up
No matter how hard you try
a tiny piece
a tiny pain
will stick right in your heart.
