Brunei is family

Postponed entry: August 2018

We celebrated our raya haji this year (read: last year) in Brunei! My sister is going to UK this September. Thus, we desperately need one last vacation while everyone is here. We listed one long list -which Brunei is not included, but then the cheapest ticket was to Brunei at the moment....... so there we go!

We actually have family in Brunei. My aunt (My father's little sister) lives there. I can't recall when was the last time she comes back to Malaysia for raya, so this time we are bringing raya to them (My mother brings all good food from Malaysia. Know what, she even brought lemang & kerutuk daging. amazing. I want to be my mother one day. She brings happiness to everyone).

Raya morning with Malaysia families in Brunei

Surprise! Another aunt joins the trip too. My another aunt with her two daughters arrive in Brunei on the first day of raya. So, three out of eight in Brunei. Can we start the hashtag #teamrayaBrunei now?

When the girls team up. Full house!

To be continued, later.

I deserve better.

Last year, I had a major heartbreak. The man I planned to marry - has gone. It was too private to talk. We both ended it regardless of who ultimately pulled the trigger. After all, none of it matters. I am all good now.

My parents are the most affected by this event. They were frustrated. Plus, they were worried about me too -They might think I 'll end up not married for the whole life. I had nothing to say to my parents. During that time, what I did was trying to analyze all the past mistakes among us. I accepted one job offer in KL (The best thing I could do at the moment. I believed). 

I moved on.

Eventually, I came up with realizations that helped me to make up with myself. Both of us liked each other honestly -But like alone is not enough. If I were married to him last year, I won't come out from Kelantan. I won't be staying with my sisters (This is one of our childhood dreams). I won't be living my dreams now.

Gradually, things got better. I started to understand what my friends and family had been saying all along: "You deserve better"...

Update:

I won't be meeting my man today.
