Emotional year it was

2014 has arrived 39 days and I haven't updated my blog at all. Aduh, the M disease has eluded me since I finally moved back to KL for good. Yay! I haven't have a chance to recap 2013, which is compulsory for this blog tradition so let's do it now.

2013 was an emotional year where I battled with extreme happiness every Friday and extreme sadness. I'm lucky I have a strong heart, if not my heart will not bear this emotional roller coaster for 10 months. It started in February when I moved to Miri for work leaving my lovely husband and comfy home. Honestly, never in my life I thought I would be weekend wife and I swear I will not do that again, InsyaAllah.

I collected a chunk of air miles points within these 10 months from Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines from the weekly travel MYY-KUL-MYY. At one point, I just cannot bear travel by air anymore. Not only that, I also collected hotel points - Marriott and Starwood when I stayed a month in Miri Marriott and a month in KL Le Meridien. Oh sungguh indah... Haha.. TQ to my company for this generous benefit.

Learned to live in Borneo, ate their food, spoke their language and adopted to their culture.Though we are one country, but we are so different. This makes us unique. And of course make tons of new friends and colleagues.

In term of traveling, we just focused on the South East Asia - we went to Brunei in February, Bangkok in May and Jakarta in September. As usual learning the culture of our neighbours and enjoying little shopping. Brunei is only 30 minutes from Miri, so it's not only 1 trip there but few trips to enjoy the yummy sushi shops that they have there.

I guess 2013 taught me something, going away from home for work is not the same as going away for studies. Don't ask me why, but in my opinion, the road is easier when I was away for studies than working. Maybe Allah smooth the road for those who seeks knowledge than money :p.  "For him who embarks on the path of seeking knowledge, Allah will ease for him the way to paradise."
