My Hijrah

It's New Year again. Awal Muharram was on 29th of December. It's Hijrah time. Hijrah the Prophet Muhammad SAW way was over long long time ago. But Hijrah for me has never really started.I feel I should start really doing some changes. Well, I have a few resolutions. I hope I will commit to them, I pray God I will commit to them, knowing how 'liat' I could be. New Year the Roman-way is just one day away, December 2008 is always over. How time has left us.

Dec 21 1989 - A a gloomy December
M went to see Allah and has been gone for 19 years. May he continue resting in peace there. Lambat atau cepat, kita akan berjumpa juga, insyaallah. I still miss you, although these days I have to really think to remember how you looked like. I have to look at your pictures anyway. But the pictures is so old, an indication of how long you have left us.

Dec 6 2003
A's birthday. She's 5 years old. She's got a Barbie set which she had wanted and mentioned to us countless times. But as of today, the barbie girl just lies there without care. 'She' is as good as non-exist to A.

Dec 27-Dec 29
Just a small escape to Port Dickson. A place that suits our time and budget. A and Sy had pretty good time in the pool and beach. Good enough for us I suppose. Well, we have to live within our budget. Got to gather with my old buddy from varsity time. She with two children and husband. Yes, good enough for me.

Dec 20 - Bonus time.
Hahaha. It's gone within few days. We have a lot of obligations.

Dec 8 - Raya Haji.
Went back to Malacca and Terengganu. Spent a few days in each place. Am has quitted his job. A good move since the company is almost closed anyway. Still, I hope it will survive. I hope the management will find way to stay afloat and make profit then.

Throughout December and rest of 2008.
I forgot again to make budget for new tombstones for Grandma's grave.
