That 16th February.

Last night. Early birthday bash.


I turned 28 today. Looking back on the past 27 years and 364 days of my life, I have only one question to ask.

What am I doing with my life?

One thing’s for sure though, I have done a lot of things. Good and bad or even a combo. But none are as significant as, like ending world hunger, volunteering for Gaza or getting the US to stop bombing innocent people all over the world in the name of fighting terrorism.

When I was a little girl, I always pictured myself in next 20, 30 or even 40 years old. At the age of 12, I've realized that I want to be someone, somebody rich and famous. I want to have a huge beautiful house and all money in the world. Money is everything for me at that time. I've pictured everything includes the husband, the very handsome-charming husband with 4 kids of ours.

When I reached my 18 years of age, I know I've all grown up. I was waiting for my SPM's result and at the same time got my driving license. My uncle of mine asked me to pick what car that I want to drive after my result come out. I smiled. I said I wanna have my first car with my own money, from scratch.

At the age of 24, I've graduated and working. I leave, run, and live my own life. I wanna my parents to let me be. I know what I’m doing. Friends be the most important things in my life at that time. I live life fast and relax later. I live life by my own rules. I wanna have everything, no matter what were the consequences. I live in the here and now. And worry about the future later or sometimes not worry at all. I just wanna be left alone with my life.

As for today, being 28 years old, I've learnt everything. I hope this age make me wiser. I really hope so. I know it is still long way to go. I will be better in every possible ways. InsyaAllah. Please pray for me.

Sometimes, one can’t help but wonder what are the priorities in life. Maybe this is the age where I'm considered mature but not old. Bright prospects but not overly rated/paid. Or maybe being 28 is when I'm considered stable but not comfortable in life.

This new age phase is the perfect time to try new things. I don't have anything in mind yet but your ideas are most welcome. Other than this, there are things that I need to put in perspective. Being a bachelorette that I'm, I began to wonder if 28 is the perfect time to settle down or should I wait 2-3 or 5 more years. I welcome all suggestions regarding what to do with my life from now on. I'm at all ears.

As for now, I’ll be perfectly content to just live my life like I should, one day at a time, slowly. Who knows, maybe new opportunities are just around the corner.

Until then, I’ll ramble through life at my own pace. With or without you. :)

p/s: Please don't judge. Huhu. I wish nak kawen cepat last night. Haha.

Salam, Cahaya.

I wish that you have a bright years and life ahead, as it does to your name. I wish you have a beautiful years and life ahead, as it does with your smile. I wish you have a happiness life in years to come, as it is who you truly are.

Well, in life, we have to make countless decision and the biggest one is how to live the life the way we want it to be, but sadly, not all what we want in life will be granted by Him.

Things in this world (and life) comes in package. With its pros and cons. You see, what you really want to do in this life, is not for us to determine, even how one may suggest. We always wish for the best, but somehow, if you look at it closely, we sometimes got carried away that we may wish for the bad ones, without we even realize it...all in the name of we want it to be that way, in our favor.

I guess, at this moment of time, in 28th years of living, you should have made few decisions in terms of career and love life, and the rest will follow suits. 28 although is just a number, if you aint do something about it, all I can say is : "sigh...age..it's just a number". So what YOU really have to do now is to list out what really matters to you. There's no harm to try as many things as possible while you are still blowing 28 candles for the whole year, and there's no harm to go beyond that..but blow the candle one by one with hope, pray and action thereafter...which means : get off that couch and do something real good to yourself and to those who matters the most to you. Go ahead and do some extreme games, kill off that 'can do or not' thought in a snap and just go ahead with your agenda...so that by the time you reach 29..you will think back of how you spent your days while you are still 28.

Me? Count my blessings :)

Happy 28th Birthday, Cahaya.
