hello 2019!!!

haha, it's already the end of january but i still want to welcome 2019! honestly, 2018 is  a little hard for me, being hospitalized for both mental and physical illness. but alhamdulillah, everything works out fine in the end. my resolutions for 2019 is achieving my resolutions fro previous years including:

• eat clean (at least try to, i'm trying to reduce my current weight of 60kg to at least 56kg. i gained quite a lot after being warded. my maximum weight that time is 70kg!)
• more exercise (my cholesterol is very high, 8! it was 11 before. i do know the bad consequences of it. doctors suggested that i start taking medicine to control it, but i said NO and will try to lower it by practicing a healthy lifestyle)
• khatam Quran and read its meaning at least once this year
• volunteer more
• learn new language (japanese & ASL, this has been going on for more than a decade i think, haha..)
• finish my study, insyaAllah (down to one subject and final thesis)
• GET MARRIED!!!😂

well, there are other small things that i really want to do and achieve but the above mentioned resolutions may sum it up. this year though i may not be travelling abroad. i must save money to pay my tuition fees since i repeat and refer two subjects. probably will travel abroad again next year. i'm thinking of joining worldvision volunteer work in myanmar. hope that'll happen. anyway, here are some photos from 2018.

job transfer

this is quite an old topic but still i want to post about it. early in january this year, i got transferred from my job in putrajaya to my hometown in segamat, johor. i still work as an immigration officer, only changing the workplace. the reason for this change are;

1. my parents especially my mom, worry about me working there. because if i haven't mentioned it before, than i would mention it here. i always skipped my job or easily said i always AWOL. my yearly leaves were finished and the extra days i AWOL will be deducted from my pay. eventhough i stayed with my sister, she's busy with her own job and family so she couldn't look after me tentatively. by working in segamat, my mom would be there be to force me to go to work, haha.. (she did it quite a few times now, really!)
2. cut cost; by living here, i would save a lot of money. i've mentioned earlier that i bought a house in cyberjaya. if the montly house loan should be deducted from my pay, i would only be left with only around RM200/month. that would not be enough if i live in putrajaya but when i live with my parents, it would be sufficient. anyway, i already cancelled buying the house after having discussed the pros and cons with my family. yay, more money for me!!!

well, those are the two obvious reasons. there would be several mini reasons that i don't think need to be mentioned. so, as i was leaving putrajaya, that means, i would be living my good friends. so, they held a couple of farewell parties for me and i received a few parting gifts from them as well. it was sad really, but with today means of communication, we could get in touch with each other easily.
