The Year 2008

Today is the last day of December. It has been a very eventful year for me. Looking back, I thank Allah for His blessing in granting all the good things that had happened this year. Although I am not a pious servant to Him, He is always by my side.

In order for me not to forget them, I am listing down some of the major ones here.

1) My dearest sister’s wedding in May

2) My Bangkok trip with all my dearest friends in August

3) We managed to collect RM10k for our annual Ramadan donation drive in September

4) I got myself an automatic car in November

5) I performed my first Qurban through QurbanForLife program

6) We managed to collect RM6k for our 1st Back to School drive

But on top of it all, I am most thankful to HIM for giving me another year with my dearest beloved mom. Although we logged heads at times, I am still greatful for the opportunity.

ALHAMDULLILAH..

Happy New Year, All !!

The Cars....

Amongst my friends, I was the last one to own a car. In fact, I think I was also the last one to get a driving license. They sure don’t call me a late bloomer for nothing! :-)

Anyways, as I was driving back from the car service centre today, I suddenly remember the times when my friend Faz used to ferry me around in her mom’s two doors yellow Honda car before she bought her first car.

And Mimi, also drove us in her mom’s Daihatsu van, which was a very boxy looking van. Sometimes the rides could be bumpy but we sure didn’t mind!

And of course who could forget the time when Norin dropped the bomb on us by telling us that she has been driving without a license although she’s been driving (us!) for quite a while!

Gosh, all these seem like ages ago and so much had happened since then. For all the trials and challenges HE had brought upon us, today, we thank Allah for all his blessings too.
