Looking back at life.

It's December now, how time flies. It's towards the end of 2011 and this is the best month to reflect on what had happened throughout the year. When I look back at my own life, when I reflect the many events that had happened, I am amazed at how things have changed, at how my goals have changed, at how myself has changed.

I believe that I have grown to a more matured woman with new vision and goals, with new mentality and even with new strength. Things that may look impossible a few months ago, now are proven possible. Life is a miracle itself, don't you think so?

The highlight of 2011 is I must admit the relationship I have with Heartbeat. People may think I am stupid for having a nickname for my love of life, but heck who cares, don't you have your own nicknames for your loved ones too? If your boyfriend's name is Mohamad Kamarudin, won't you be calling him 'Honey' or 'Sayang'? Don't tell me you call him Mohamad Kamarudin. Well no, Heartbeat is not Mohamad Kamarudin.Whoever Mohamad Kamarudin out there, please take note that your name is for illustration purpose only. *wink*

Nobody is perfect and we are no exception. There are flaws in me, so is in him. There are times when we can't tolerate each others' weaknesses, but I'm glad we take our time to sit down and talk and let our hearts out. We bring out each others' strengths and work on polishing them. I'm glad that we actually hold on to what we have and keep reminding each other of the wonderful things that await us in the future. I am learning, he is learning, we are both learning.  

Then, family. I am more than blessed to have a second family here in Kuching, his family that I can call family too, seeing that my own family is so far away. When I was so sick, I can always snuggle under the blanket with his family around, when I want home-cooked meals, I can always rely on his family. When I want to feel 'at home', his home is where I am heading. It's a blessing,

I still remember one night I was crying, not because of sadness but I was so happy to have such a 'family', I thanked him. But more than that, I thanked God, because He knows what I need the most.

There are times when I feel helpless in life that I feel like giving up, but Heartbeat keeps reminding me of the things ahead of me, I'm revived. My journey with God has been a tough one, I have neglected Him so many times in my life, even now I still do, forgive me dear Lord.

2011 has almost come to its end, I can't wait for the great things in store for us in 2012. The post seems so melancholy, blame the rain outside. It has been a very gloomy day but inside my heart, I'm at peace.

Love while you can. ^_^
