Assalamualaikum 

Hi ladies.. better late than never.. wishing everybody happy new year 2014! Every each new year is often seen as a time of rebirth, its the chance for everybody start anew. Everybody must be came up with the regular resolutions for this new year like losing weight (part of my list too) finding Mr. right, getting hitched but often our idea of what SHOULD change are too wide.

Well, this is not my first time wearing hijab.. the decision to fully cover was such a big step that i should make sure that i am ready for. So i took it one step at a time, started to wear it to work and now alhamdulillah i have started to wear to everywhere and again its step by step thing. 

I felt so much peaceful with the new me and i hope it will last insyaAllah. Its an amazing feeling when i wear it as i know i am covering my beauty for myself, future husband and Allah. Of course it was difficult at first to start with Alhamdulillah i managed to hold my head up high.

Assalamualaikum

Ive been looking a bracelet that i could match with my watch and ive always wanted a Pandora bracelet, but each time i went to Pandora i ended up confused with their thousands of charms and just walk off giving up. Haha. So one day, someone asked me do i like pandora and i said yes! but the only problem is.. i dunno how to begin my story bcoz there are lots of charms, and i was told just to choose one, yes just one charm to begin with.. Ok, i went to pandora and try to looked for one.. only ONE! i promised to myself.

As i was browsing through.. the sales person asked what was my occasion getting the charm and i told her its just a treat for myself (since takde orang nak belikan kaaannn...) haha.. looking at those charms, the price is like a bomb to me.. but since i like it so much, no harm in getting one.. hihi.. Ok, back to the sales girl, she was so helpful finding a suitable charm for me, she asked what i like to do, what is my hobby, do i have boyfriend. what i like to buy and i told her lil bit of my past and my current life ( perlu kee??) bla bla... and finally... this is what i got .. my first pandora.. my design.. my journey..

I got myself a dangling heart-shaped for the center piece and two pieces of heart-shaped clips as a stopper for left and right. (Its more than one charm Maryam!! Haha)  I love the design coz  the design of the piece has more meaning than the price.. It shows love and gives a feeling that i care and love for someone..

Well, i love what i have chosen, and im planning to add more and complete the whole bracelet coz these pandora charms are just so addictive.. u cant simply just get one.. u will want to get more and more.. Haha.. Luckily,its hard to find Pandora here in Istanbul, they have selling those charms at the small corner in selected watch shop and very limited.. If not,   i would definitely go and get a new charm for myself every week.. haha.. ( plus, ada orang tu cakap nak bagi sebulan satuuuuu.. aww thankkssss! so by the time i balik malaysia, i will get 3 charms la kan? haha)  really love my pandora and been wearing it everyday!

Ok, that all about my first pandora journey.. stay tuned for my next entry on my London getaway.. (nothing much pun.. the same London... haha) Ok girls, take care! Thanks for reading!

Something I want to share..

Assalamualaikum

Its Tuesday. Alhamdulillah the weather is turning cooler and a little less sun, its finally autumn here in Istanbul.. yeay! And today is my one and only all time favorite hero's birthday! Happy birthday papa! May Allah bless you on your special day, we wish u good health and steady wealth.. InsyaAllah.. Love u pa!

Talking about a hero, mama once told me that.. when u hold a man's hand and he makes ur heart beat faster, and he makes u feel all those butterflies feeling in ur tummy, she said, walk away from this man.. she even posted at my Facebook timeline saying dont find a man who solve ur problem, find a man who wont let u to face ur problem alone.. (well, ive seen this somewhere) whatever and wherever it came from, somehow her statement is true..

Honestly, ive always been someone who gets carried away with feelings, when mama advised and keep telling me that i should marry a man who loves me more than i love him, i knew but i just ignored. Ive always been the one who 'over-invest' in a relationship n i felt that i would always be the one who will love the other person more.

But as time goes by, after what ive gone through in my previous marriage, i began to open my eyes and see that love is not just some disney movie with a fairy-tale ending. Love is extremely hard when comes to marriage. Relationships are hard as well. We dont always get what we expect and just lovey dovey romantic moment, sweet words, are just not enough to make it work. Its more than that... and u just cant do it alone..

She was right.. find a man who loves u more than u do. Though u wont feel no great overwhelming passion at the beginning of the relationship (bcoz ur boyfriend or partner loves u more) yet, it feels good. Learn to love him more and keep believe in yourself that its something that would last longer insyaAllah.. and as for me, i would definitely find a man who i will feel warm, safe and secure each time im with him.. and that would be a man that im going to marry.. InsyaAllah



p/s : May Allah bless this long-distance relationship. Amiin

Teaching.. ??

Assalamualaikum

As September was approaching, many different things were running through my mind. Oh hell yes, time to really focus on work now. I have enjoyed my one month holiday and now, here I am.. getting back to the routine, or a new routine i supposed? Apart from being an executive in Human Capital Division, they burden me with a new task as an English teacher in the Group, i repeat, English Teacher.!! How is it going to fit together? So many things i need to look at and focus on.. the curriculum, classroom management, the speaking level of each student... and how on earth am i going to do it aaalllllll... honestly, my english is not good enough to become a teacher..(ada orang cakap baik tulis Melayu je kat blog ni.. english tunggang terbalik)

Preparing for class... errrghh!

Heading to my first english class for this coming Monday, there were a lot of sleepless night with a sack of everything in my head that i wanted to say to my students. There are a lot of teaching methods that i want to use in my class, and sometimes i would just got so stressed out and confused with the chosen method ( Now i understand, its not easy to be a teacher) Haha.. sorry saya memang suka stress sorang2...

Time management is very important for me now, as i need to stay up late for 2 reasons, preparing for my class and skype! Yes, 'we' skype everyday without miss for almost 4 months now.. ridiculous? Yes. Healthy? I also think Yes. My journey to this point is challenging, but my heart i know, im ready and i can do it! Yes, i can.. InsyaAllah!


Monday is my first day “in charge” of my classes, and I’m so excited. I’ve had a few days to get to know my students, and I’ve already learned quite a few names. I’m READY for Monday! Wish me luck girls!

Thats all for now, back to work! Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
