Saat yang dinantikan hampir tiba

Bagi adik-adik yang telah menduduki exam UPSR bulan September lepas, mesti tengah berdebar-debar tunggu pengumuman bila keputusan nak keluar kan? Haha...bukan dia orang je yang berdebar-debar. Parents pun sama...in fact lagi kecut perut kot. Biasalah semua parents nak anak dia orang dapat results terbaek punye. Tak terkecuali my very own self. My son is also waiting with lots of anxiety ni. Based on cakap-cakap orang, results akan keluar samada 8, 9 atau 10 November. Entahlah...tunggu jelah pengumuman kat news nanti. 

Apa-apa pun, berdoalah untuk yang terbaek. I'm sure semua adik-adik kita ni dah cuba berhempas pulas untuk exam ni. Sekarang hasilnya bergantung pada usaha dan izin Allah. Walau apa pun keputusan yang tertulis di slip keputusan nanti, bersyukurlah kerana adik-adik telah pun melepasi satu peperiksaan besar dalam hidup adik-adik. Dan sekarang, bersedialah untuk melangkah ke alam persekolahan yang lebih mencabar. Sentiasa pikir yang positif aje and things will be just fine. 

To my son, I wish you all the very best for your results...I have been praying for you everyday and I'm sure you know that. Whatever the outcome is...I will always be proud of you coz you have tried your best (I hope!). So continue counting the days...jangan tak leh tidur sudah k hehe....

Cepatnya masa berlalu

Pejam celik dah bulan October. Tak lama lagi dah nak masuk another new year. Dan tak lama lepas tu akan genap setahun since I left my job. Am I still a housewife? Yes of course! Tapi sekarang mula tercari-cari idea untuk fill up some of my free time at home. Ada some options yang quite interesting tapi belum ada yang 100% convincing for me to jump into it. So buat masa ni masih dalam stage menganalisa segala kemungkinan. Dan yang paling penting...berdoa agar ditunjukkan jalan yang terbaik. Apa-apa pun family still 1st priority.

It has been a week since I took on this new role. What's it like? Very satisfying indeed. One thing's for sure...no regrets at all. Being there for the kids sure has its own rewards. It may not be in monetary terms...but is does bring a whole lot of satisfaction. Not a glamorous job to some people but I know that it is the best job for me.  

People might be wondering why on earth I chose to let go of what I had...a job with a credible organisation with attractive pay and perks. Well, it's simply because I decided that my priority is my family. It was definitely a tough decision to make but it sure is a decision that I am proud of. Not many people would be willing to make the same decision I must say. 

So my routine has been very different from what I have been doing for the past 10+ years. Now it includes preparing breakfast (and not forgetting lunch box), sending kids to school, settling house chores, fetching kids from school, overseeing kids' homework, revision and play time, preparing tea break, preparing dinner and etc. Still a full-time job isn't it? Just not in the office environment. 

Well, I'm happy with where I am now and I hope to continue to be an excellent housewife. 

What do I want in life? Hmm...difficult to answer really. Or maybe I do have the answer but I just don't know how to turn it into reality. But once you reach a turning point and you realise that you do have choices in life...you will make the choice that will turn your life around. There are difficult choices that we have to make in life but if you seek guidance from God...it will lead you to the right path. We all have choices and it is up to us to paint our own life.
