The week after umrah

Really a week has past since I'm back. A lot of I would say change or just eally an roller coaster. While, I got extremely sick the fajr Monday. Haha. Really non-stop mucus from the nose and just cough. Still, I went to work andd appointment the afternoon. Night was rough. Alhamdulillah, I decided to take care of myself the tuesday and got a mc and checkup. Alhamdulillah all clear. The x-ray and blood counts. Still, I decided to work on Wednesday. Talking about responsibility huh. I've got my period in midday. Surprise that I'm not too surprised. Also, surprising I've got into the bathroom right early in time. I decided to on the antibiotics mainly cause I was reminded of the 2 white dots near my arm during my umrah which gone right when I got back (fearing might be pus, so better clear out the infections right). 

Thursday, I guess nothing much except I was on my last page for my home journal. So yeah, Friday after contemplating the muji books (cause I've the pens), I went on with the bookshop near my workplace. Mainly because it's cheaper. While still ticked off the criteria of ring binding and acceptable cover (though I think quite cute). I'm really planning on saving as much so I'm trying to be in save mode like I was in my student era and get back into tracking. The main reason is I'm aiming to help clear my family debts as much as I can (mainly my fathers). During umrah, my mother really stressing over the business and debts. Also my father pre-umrah. Kind of my source of stress during that time, and really pushes me to make doa and figuring out a way out. So yeah. I passed out of Friday near 7, when I off my phone to make last hour Jumaah doas. 

After almost 12 hours, I was up. I missed my last night antibiotic dose! So the morning, super nice I've got into extended clinic work which I enjoyed working with someone I haven't work before. Surprisingly he's friendlier than I expected and the shift was not so busy, just in between, so yeah nice. Back at home, got into lunch and rest then quick nasi before going 4.35pm to locum. The night I forgot my dose also. Allahu. Perhaps I forgot because I had to cook indomie kaldu ayam cause rice is finished. I was contemplating on chilling late night family mart dinner before home. But in my head again, save money. The frugality somehow feels familiar and secure. Kinda like comfort too. 

Sunday today, got back into locum. Though sale for me was slow, in the shop was therapeutic. I like my locum job. Though I need to up my game. During the night and morning, I really headbutt on my mother on psychological manipulation. Her reaction makes me go allahu. But well, I don't expect people to change just better boundaries. I know better now. After lunch, I know there has been delayed for a discussion on the business so after asr. I need rest and reset my emotions baseline. The discussion I think bought clarity just now I am really praying for a massie business buyer as plan. Aamiin. Also, for a prolong peace between my parents. Aamiin. I'm grateful for myself, for being brave, for getting to know myself, how to handle myself, for investing in knowledge I have for myself. I just really pray for no debts for my parents, my family and my generation. 

Slight rain, so big prayers.

Umrah alone but not quite

Assalamualaikum there. I'm back. Last week me no post but that's a given cause I've been away for 2 weeks for my umrah. It's been 55 ish hours I'm here since I landed at 3.10pm jumaah. Weirdly but perhaps not so much weirdly I'm in my recovering post trip phase. Yesterday was a major sleep sleep, today's I'm like half-sick (if that's even a thing) so like half sleep. I feel better when I do a bit of work not too much though. I'm not ready to work tomorrow though I know I need it. 

I feel a little scared and nervous for tomorrow. Sadly but truthfully, umrah was like a big escapee from this world here, the distance I need but no other practical action I did other than doa. So hence the feelings. But the reality of this world I need to do actions to solve it with guidance of doa. This world is certainly tough. All I did there was go back and forth to masjid, definitely push my limits at madinah. Makkah has it owns charms though I did 3 umrahs, it's not a rush to go an hour before. Where you pray, early or late really depends on how Allah arranges it for you cause of the line, the queues, the doors. One umrah I did after a night hiking up Jabal Nur which was insane how the next day our feet were perfectly fine. 

This umrah, I was in better shape than the last. No cracked lips except a small tear in my first few days then just melecet sikit on one of my small toes after my third umrah I think. Being there, just to and back the masjid, in the room for food and cleaning up, time certainly went by too fast I didn't have time to do other things. Even journaling, mostly on the bus. My down time was in taif. I'm really grateful for my umrah because from what I see what I prayed for most part (just one part in madinah I can't go to mosque alone but I'm sure it comes with rewards for intention to help others). The hotels was near, food was great which weirdly I think my tummy half misses it. Anyhow, I cooked a half porridge for me with chicken stocks, eggs and daun ketumbar. 

Barely shopped except for laban. Did a little shop in taif. I found the indomie my dad ate during their stay. Can't find it any other places. Haha. A honeycomb, zabib, walnuts and that's it. I bought konafetto off of shoppee and praying mats. I spent my cash on ziarah and on others. So I still have half my riyals with me. 

I'm having the sniffles since asr oh well. 

Bismillah for tomorrow,

In a rush

Literally am in rush. 5 minutes max. Still half-clothes, writing this. Just when I wear my hijab, I probably be done. My flight to umrah day. Allahu. Still macam oh day hari ke. I'm feeling a bit rush especially after my dua book was delayed. Alhamdulillah done on fajr today. Just a little bits left. Breakfast don't forget! I feel not as emotional about this whole thing like when before I was booking the umrah and this past fews days, missing my fam. Probably good as I don't wanna cry at the airport. Ahh. I have to mention the thursday during family gathering, it does feel like wey I'm really going to umrah alone. All in all, Allah please protect me and make this an easy, beautiful journey for me.

I'm coming oh Allah,

The rezqi of now

The weekend was pretty chill, just 1 locum slot yesterday but everything else was chill. Peaceful in comparison of my roller coaster of emotions and thoughts during the week. Basically I lazied thru which I shouldn't. Anyhow I am finally done with netflix stories, it is somehow somewhat revealing of my emotions and wants. A way to figure what's deep in myself. I had a bit of fun for sure. Games.

While the week, the results for kontrak interim was out. After another scam on tuesday, the very next morning the group was check your spa. Despite reading the message at fajr, I didn't check it yet. I was ahh I don't care. So yeah, turns out I am curious so as I arrive at work, made doa for the best though I do want a peaceful umrah if possible, the results said SIMPANAN. A huge wash of relief and peace waterfalls down me. Alhamdulillah, I'm going umrah. 

It was certainly fine all throughout work until later the evening 2 closer friends of mine got it (while kswp syif). It was not jealousy rather grateful at least some of us got it, just the creep of ahh will I get the chance for a permanent stable job with decent salary too? I thought it was fine but truthfully I am scared of not having a job aka not having money. I need this. And thursday proves just my fears, another avalache of debts and worries from my dad. It's so hard seeing my parents split between their passion and responsibility. I do wish at the time for my dad's company to do truly well. It's painful to see trial and challenge after another with this. I really hate debt. And how much I loved this freedom I have with no debt to spread out to my family, certainly peaceful. Aamiin.

The pain with no tears, it's been a while.. Feeling that familiarity. Pain. Crying.

Exactly 1 week to umrah, In Shaa Allah.

Gaming sunday

What I am doing. Haha. Playing games the whole dayy. Yeah, I'm really bad when it comes to story games the last time I remember. It's fun being the character of a story having funn. Hehe. I am over-treating myself after checking off my work on coaching. Ahh and it's been a while since I enjoyed or played anything. Ahh. 2 weeks until umrah, I feel bad. Huhu. The struggles of being human. I planned to continue my doa list but oh well. I think I finish off buying all I need so that's Alhamdulillah and I did a bit of my doa list on wedsnesday. Also, the gsheet on thursday. Alhamdulillah.

The Friday gave me a scare on the whole interim thing. Not a big scare but I really hope it doesn't "usik" my umrah, either the dates or any else. Anyhow, we'll have to see for tomorrow. Had wedsnesday and friday off. While friday had lunch call. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the time. Had kswp shift on tuesday which was smooth Alhamdulillah. The monday, I asked on the recording and pluck the courage to ask on transcribing. And yes, I can transcribe (which was a horror due to all the filler words!). Just hoping for a pass. In Shaa Allah, aamiin. 

So yeah, back to gaming. Huhu. Haha. 

Handling myself

Nothing much on monday except prep for live assessment. Nervousness suddenly kicks with I'm underprepared vs this is just to try, not thinking of I have to be best to do the assessment. It was really hard on me tuesday morning at work, where I can't really focus. Should I dig in to able to manage it or just fix my mindset and embrace the feels without digging in. I know some parts of it came from a constant "I need to do well/succeed" but imagining I didn't pass is okay, so I just don't know at that point. The true thing is I don't want the hassle, the cert is a nice thing to have, probably a boost in my career development. Truer, I just need squeeze the gist of what I learn and put into practice? Good? Best? Not of all that, yet again I know I want to help others (and myself), yet I am nervous. Somehow, the nerve calm down at work. Just I really needed that relax period for an hour before starting. I did good, just wanting on the results. Just prayers now, doesn't help with it being late. Huhu. 

Wednesday and Thursday post work, are my break nights. I manage to squeeze in a session at work, so that's a pat in the shoulder. Major 10.10 shopping. Thursday night surprise, I got a message from K. Ahh. It felt good having to meet her after long and initiated by her. The kind of friendship that sure has a place in the heart. I supposed to meet up with F for a session on Friday lunch but Alhamdulillah somehow it worked out. Meeting K and talking to her, hearing her voice makes me feel as the time turned back to uni days. Also realised, she has a a more understanding than mines. Kind spirit In Shaa Allah. Submitted overseas application.

Then, the night locum. New intern. I guess somehow the girls in locum have good ears but I did notice I have the urge to talky talk with them. Haha. A new coffee machine which is nice. Gave me a delayed caffeine effect at 5. A lil early but okay. Saturday to umrah course. Picked up luggage and sending in the documents. It's nice experience with my sitting neighbour and grandma at the restroom. I'm praying still for Allah to choose me and many others. Aamiin. Met my pic, ahh. So she's her. Umm. Then, back at home for I sleep for one, then off to locum in the thunder rain. 

Sunday, somehow I did sleep in long the afternoon. I wish I didn't but it is what happened. So delayed my plan for writing in my dua list. Oh Allah, please grant me the energy and barakah in my time to do it. Aamiin. A lil visit from fam in the evening. Anyhow, I wish for more time. 

Prayers, prayers.

Another year, another cp day

Uhh. I wish I have another day off. This weekend has been productive with some me-me time which was just about 6-10pm today. Haha. Had a good thinking+emotion session. I really thought without all the gadgets (influence) what are my thoughts? What do I want? What do I need? Hence, although I have some consciousness over social media, it's scary my default is scrolling thought it. I just have to consciously pause myself and take a moment to myself. There's no need for the dopamine injection, I have time to be present. 

A productive weekend by saturday morning a farewell to my lil sis off to uni, then rush to world cp event (funny i'd just knew menteri kkm to my dad's acquaintance and the last time they met was when I was in hosp shah alam for teeth extraction//surgery). Then to bowling, I did fairly good. Better than worse day, so I'm feeling good about it. I did had a an afternoon off on weds for a bowlig sesh and that's pretty much that practice. I enjoyed both. And lucky draw! A guy's watch. So for my bro's it is. This morning a 4 hour usrah. Haha. I guess we had a good chat, just I was a little like ahh patut put my clothes out to dry and come late. But sokay, that's settled. Also did a coaching session before umrah. At least one is out of the way. 

Had my physio+ot appointment monday afternoon. A little tired from the weekend. Tuesday, usm news came for my little sis. This week was a major roller coaster for her and impacted my fam. But Alhamdulillah, Allah plan a place for her in meds still. Weds night did a little coaching session, when thursday came the big news hit. How the world is so money-oriented. Huhu. It is what it is. Thursday night had a late celebration for L's birthday last month. Anyhow, Alhamdulillah. 

I paid off my umrah. I need to save money more, but now I have to admit not "treating" myself is hard especially I learn it's okay too. I'm still learning. Just somehow conflicted which says I love myself? Spending or saving? Probably saving now, but not depriving. 

Anyhow, signing off. Bismillah to a new week.
