Moving

The decision was made merely a month ago. I must say its quite sudden and my heart almost not prepared by it. I wanted to go back but not as in settling in. I felt that with the new baby in the family, I would want to stay longer for his sake. But, we never here for the kids. We are here for my husband. And he's done with it, so we must follow. 

As I started to packs our stuffs, I began to feel excited for another new beginning. Irfan will go to Primary School, Year 1. We need to find Izyan a play school and I'm quite nervous to think that she won't be in the same school with Irfan. Ihsan will stay with me. I will be a full-time housewife again but in a new surrounding. Adapt is a keyword. I don't know how housewife's life in Malaysia would be like but I had in mind that it'll be tougher especially timing wise. And the fact that our place is just far from everything is not helping too. I had a feeling that we'd be rushing here and there. Izzal need to find a job. pronto.

We'll missed the crazy, unpredictable weather here, no matter how much we complaint. But I'll welcome the sunshine and rain, still. You know what peaceful to me? I remember this a lot and I can imagine it right now. Storm and heavy rains in the evening in my huge bedroom. The kind of weather that dozed you away in your dreamland. But, I don't like if the electricity went out. That just creep me out especially when the house is empty and big. 

I'll be waiting the moment when the pilot said, for Malaysian, welcome home.

The title basically summarise of almost a whole year of hiatus. I can't believe the last time I wrote was in January. What did I do the rest of the year?  It is almost end of 2018! Anyway, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Ihsan last July. My parent came down for almost 2 months to take care of me. Izyan went to Reception and Irfan in Year 2. Since most of my Malaysian neighbours have gone back for good, I made some friends with new moms at kids school and they were very nice. I completed 2 online course. Izzal now a researcher at Imperial College and we'll be staying here in UK until 2020. 

The other day I was thinking of setting up a new blog. You know, just to start it all over again, - again. But I couldn't come up with a good blog name so I'll just stick with this one at the moment. I love writing and pouring my thoughts, idea, feeling in words. I think they were much more understood rather than me talking. Or maybe I love typing. See, I'm a good typist. Or rather a fast one. I can type without looking at the keyboard and make almost no spelling mistake. I used to have journal but my handwriting is so bad and they always not consistent so I hate it. 

I don't have anymore random thing to jot down. So I'll see you in a few months. 

Or maybe next year.

2018

Wow, my last post was like 4 months ago. There have been lots going on since then.

1. Kids settled down at school. And yes, I've been 'nurturing' myself very well since I got a few hours to myself in the morning. So many of my checklist has been ticked. Went to breakfast at the cafe, went shopping, relaxing and chilling at home just watching TV or surfing internet, wandering around central London by my self, have a quick lunch or meet up with husband, window shopping at the mall........ Basically, I've been doing lotsa things when kids at school. Life. Is. Great.

2. October was the busiest and it went by without me realising it. Mainly because my sister and my parent came visit. So we spent time going here and there. My parent stayed for over a month and we even went to Switzerland for holiday. So nice.

3. When my family went back to Malaysia, I started to fill in my time with taking up some few online courses - Online Business Course, Understanding Autism and also went to 10 weeks Nurturing Programs at the Community Centre. I went to Baby First Aid Training. I was so glad that I finally took up the courage to learn something new. It wasn't easy to get a head start to do something that is so different with what you used to do, but I am so grateful that I found the right person, the right source and finally triggered my own motivation and determination to do such things.

4. Husband finally graduating and completed his PHD. A huge relieved. Phew. And now he embarked on another new journey and hopefully all of us get through with it just like we've done before.

3. Lotsa friends has been going back to Malaysia for good. We bid farewell to too many people these few months. Sad.


Then, its new year. At the moment, we are still here for another year. We had a fair good start and hopefully the vibes continues as we go through the end year, which still a very long way to go.

To 2018!
