2013 is an eye opener and soul searching year. Recalling my 2013
resolution with a twist, a twisted year it was, note to self. Be very careful
of what you asked the universe! The universe listens to your wishes. On a
brighter note, many beautiful memories were made along the way and I thank all
for their positive input in my life.
January 1st, had lunch with LL, at my Club, KDE after
the place that we wanted to go was closed due to the night before. January also
welcomes home my cousin NS from New Zealand and we went on a makan-ing (eating) spree all over Kuala
Lumpur for her to get reacquainted with authentic Malay dishes.
February see me holidaying in Kuala Terengganu as usual to be with
my sis’ family. Another opportunity for me to taste, experienced and savor the
local delicacies. And I go all out in interviewing the stall owners. It was a
great adventure and my sister Dr S, supported my inquisitiveness and go out of
her way to places for me to take a photo shoot of the midin shoots (a kind of ferns). And here in Terengganu too, my
other sister SAH showed her skilled and expertise in cooking the fish head
curry!

March and April were a busy month doing the taxes, assignments and
presentations and of course house hunting for I am leaving my abode of 13 years
for good. May was another busy month packing my 13 years of accumulated
treasures and trash, memorables and tokens, keep sakes and clutters. The month
of May also saw me burning the mid night candles for my final examinations while
at the same time house hunting, packing, labeling, snapping photos upon photos
of my condo at every all opportunities and reminiscing my days at Sri Kinabalu
Condominium: Period.

Finished my final on 9th June and moved house on 10th
June with the help of my beloved nephews Kamil, Aiman and Ezwan. My sis, Dr. S
and family came over for a week end to help me unpacked and rearranged my
furnitures to an acceptable order. A big thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Attended two beautiful heartwarming
weddings in June, oh what a beautiful June’s brides they were!
Celebrated my birthday in July with a bang with a pre 2nd
July dinner and birthday breakfast with my BFF, followed with another two
birthdays’ dinners with Id and HH and closing it with a blast in Bangkok,
Thailand with my Glam buddies! This is a 360 degrees contrast compared to my
uneventful day in 2012 when everyone thought that I was celebrating with
someone!

Observed Ramadhan in July. Eid was celebrated quietly on
the first day and with a blast on the 5th day of Eid and organizing an
impromptu open house at my rented condo and inviting the usual clan plus my
close cousins, few friends and my office staffs. Savoring delicious such as Yemeni
chicken rice, fried macaroni, fruit
cocktail puddings and truffles all courtesy of the chef, my beloved sister, Dr
S and sous chef, NN. Also on the menu were my eldest sister, Yong’s mouth
watering sambal lodeh and lemangs, courtesy of my nephew, Awa.
Welcoming a brief stay of a little sparrow in my life in September
and experiencing full throttle pain in the gum hence bidding goodbye to my wisdom
tooth. October is a month of Foodie adventure. And November saw me cruising
over the horizon to Phuket and Krabi via Penang. It is a life time adventure to
say the least.
As usual, December was pretty busy with vocation commitments and
socials engagements. December also witnessed me starting on a strict diet which
I observed religiously much to contentment and reflected in me managing to slip
into my black baju kurung just in the
nick of time to attend to my UiTM BFF’s son wedding in Tasoh Lake, Perlis while
having fun getting lost close to the Malaysia-Thailand border!

Had lunch finale with my BFF at Ruzz Aladin Briani Gam Johor and dinner
finale at Jiran café with my all time, always there persona, SAY. In
conclusion, the most significant event in 2013 was me moving from my 13 years
abode with such a heavy heart wrenching feelings. But life must go on and I
understand that was my pass and I had to learn to let go. In fact I had.
