happy anniversary, sayang

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

"Dengan menyebut nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang"

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
This in an advance post for my one year anniversary in Sabah. Since I'll be in Pantai Timur this end of November, I decided to post this earlier.

saya sentiasa percaya dengan perancangan Allah. apa pun terjadi. apa pun berlaku pasti ada hikmah.
ada banyak 'kalau' jika kita nak persoalkan tapi siapa kita kan?
Allah yang Maha Besar. bukan kita bukan siapa-siapa.

terlalu banyak Sabah mengajar saya menghargai setiap saat Allah beri udara.
terlalu banyak Sabah mengajar saya erti sebenar kehidupan susah payah mencari makan.
terlalu banyak Sabah mengajar saya pahit manis kehidupan bila jauh daripada keluarga.
terlalu banyak Sabah mengajar saya siapa kawan siapa lawan.

perjalanan dalam kehidupan tak pernah berhenti selagi nyawa yang Allah beri pinjam masih ada.
sama seperti menuntut ilmu.bukan sampai negara China malah jauh lagi sekarang.

the kids too scared to hold the snake so here we go

bongek tak ada padi. so this kid is too happy when she saw the paddy field

and part of my little family here in Sabah

alhamdulillah.alhamdulillah.alhamdulillah.

12 months here and I learnt a lot. dunno whether I'll be able to get the same experience elsewhere.

sebab itu kena percaya setiap ketentuan Allah tu ada hikmahnya.

kalau tanya sekarang pun masih tak percaya.

its been a year and too many things happened.

someone text me and asked, "bila nak minta balik?"

tak semudah tu nak balik. emak abah tak panggil balik. nak kata calon suami pun tak ada lagi apatah pula perancangan nak kahwin. memang belum sampai masa Allah nak hantar balik ke semenanjung duduk bawah ketiak emak abah lagi. hantar duduk jauh. belajar berdikari. belajar uruskan kewangan sendiri. belajar uruskan masalah sendiri.

friends are getting married. friends gave birth.

congratulations everyone! trying my best to attend your wedding invitations tapi kadang-kala doa sahaja dapat dikirim. it is not that easy to go back selalu. so please jangan kecil hati kalau yang kawan yang duduk 1013 batu jauhnya ni tak dapat hadir majlis bersejarah kawan-kawan lain.

2014 coming and i'm excited for next year.

can see few important pending tasks waiting but never mind i've another big agenda next year, insyAllah.

received best friends' wedding invitations almost every month next year. february,march and april.

insyAllah semoga Allah mudahkan urusan tahun kedua di Sabah.

insyAllah semoga Allah murahkan rezeki tahun kedua di Sabah.

Happy Anniversary, sayang!

with love,

betty
