Ok, so it's taking me much longer to jump start this blog. I am still finding my mojo.
Not because I am unhappy but because there are just so many things to do and I am still struggling with my daily schedules. Yes, the schedule is up but not completely followed yet.
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Ooppss... Master Yoda's fans would say, "Do or do not. There is no try".
So, let's do, InsyaAllah...
Anyway, I have pretty much sifted through all my blog posts from before and re-posted only those worthy to be up again.
Let me re-introduce myself. Am married with 4 children whom I fondly nicknamed H3D (you'll figure out the reason if you don't know already). I used to work with Andersen until it merged with Ernst and Young for 4 years before moving on to Malaysia Airlines for 10 years, and now I am a full time housewife (for the time being).
Working in a big firm taught me how to be a responsible and dedicated worker. Working long hours on days end, however, was not suitable for my soul, so to speak. It took away so much time from my family although at the time I only had Haikal, who kept falling sick.
And when I really have had enough, the door opened for me to join Malaysia Airlines. The working environment was totally different and I was given opportunities to experience so many things, professionally and personally. For that, I am ever so grateful.
The circumstances, however, led me to where I am today. Honestly, yes, I was sad and quite down for a while. But looking back now, I can truly say that Allah has actually answered my prayers. Maybe I will reveal more as I go along. For now, let's just let it be.
So at least I have one more new post. Hey, it's a start :D.

It's all in the mind and in the attitude
One of the achievements and magic moments in my life - reaching the top of Bukit Kutu :).

When you really want something, that's all it takes. If you say you can't right from the beginning, then most definitely you can't.
The key word is try. Whether you succeed or fail, it's all up to Allah. But the satisfaction of trying and subsequently succeeding is worth all the attempts... Yes, attempts as you won't know how many it will take until you succeed.
My latest H
And so, this completes my H3D :)

After Haider, I didn't think that I'd be married again, much less have another baby. But, Allah had better plans for me and granted me Muhammad Hanif bin Mohammed Asri to add to my collection of precious little darlings, Alhamdulillah :).
He was born on 9 June 2013, a whole month earlier than expected, which left me somewhat "unprepared" but Alhamdulillah, I made it through.
This was the announcement of his arrival posted on FB, of course ;)

It's gloating time!

Much as I would like to believe that I am a humble person, the event that took place today made it irresistable for me not to post this entry. And since this is MY blog (note the emphasis on "my"), what the heck right? If you readers can't take it, then do stop reading but I would say that it's your loss. You know very well I can be pretty darn entertaining :p.
Anyhoo (nope, it's not a typo), Alhamdulillah I am blessed with a youthful look. I've received many comments to say that I look very young for my age. Even my big boss called me a liar the other day when I told him I have 3 children and one of them is a 9-year old.
Of course there was an issue once upon a time with my credibility at work due to my look. I don't normally wear makeup simply because it's time-counsuming (really, I don't have time in the morning for this extra effort to "look good" while trying to get 3 kids ready for school in the morning). The most I would do if I remember is to put on the lip gloss. However, I make up for it by dressing up as professionally as I can.
Back to today's event... (laughing first before continuing :D).
Yes, remarks have been made about my youthful look, but when this person made the remark, I was actually shocked at first but burst out laughing uncontrollably. Had I not been in public, I would have probably rolled over on the floor. Anyway, I tried to refrain from laughing too much so as not to hurt the feeling of a loved one, but I failed miserably :p. Yeah, I'm pathetic when it comes to refraining from an emotion, be it sad, happy or whatever.
But, I feel I should not detail out the remark made for fear of daulat from my loved one ;).
P/s: I love you Papa. Love, Along :D

Once upon a time...

Ok, that doesn't mean that I felt otherwise before. It's just that it's been a while since I really feel the adrenaline rush at the workplace. I'm picking up the pieces and sometimes in chunks in this current job that I'm doing. It can be overwhelming at times with requests upon requests from the stations within the region that I'm handling but I'm loving it! Boss is also starting to let me handle some things on my own - a sign of trust, which I like.
And today, I managed to complete many different things and the satisfactory feeling almost made me proud of myself :D. Having good peer support is also essential and I'm getting enough. The following was a conversation that took place today with the other Route Managers (all of us ladies in the early thirties):
Hema: So, Faza. Boleh eh bagi kat I B747. I nak kene transport ministers ni.
Me: Boleh, but let me clear the 3 pax on first class dulu. Suria, sorry tak boleh cater to your request coz my flight is full on the date you requested.
Suria: Tu la. Nak buat camane. Now I have to find alternatives.
Hehe. I feel so powerful :)
