What's up

 It is... *gulp*... 2026?!

Betik la kan.

😨

I've gone ghost mode for a while sebab macam-macam happened at the end of last year up till, well, now.

My cousin had lost a loved one. Our kitten had died. 😢

Hari Sukan (yes. at the end of the year.)

And partly, it's me getting into pickleball.

Pickleball.

AHHAAAAKK! DON'T BE FOOLED! I'M TERRIBLE AT IT!

But mak tanak kalah. Mak nak eksesais punya pasal and it was getting boring just exercising at home. 

In all honesty, it is a costly thing to get into. To book a court, to get our own paddle, the balls some more... even i was extremely skeptical and annoyed at the sport - is it a fad, is it worth getting into if it is, what if i like it, what if i takde geng main, what if i invested so much only for me not liking it, being bad at it, or just stop playing because it's just a fad - you naur?

I'm not exactly a millionaire, which is why the investment mattered. A lot. Before this, my friends and i were doing jump-roping, which was, you naur, cheaper. No need to book courts, the jump rope pun tak mahal macam paddle. Gi padang je. 

So, yeah.

I'm still not good, but i do try to play at least once a week. I don't deny that it is a good social activity with friends. It builds agility too and it's not hard on the knees like jump rope... Yeah, it's nice. I main gitu-gitu je la. Not aiming to enter tournaments or anything 😊

Apart from that, my eldest child had a lot that needed my attention - her final exam, preparation for next tier of education, a new phase altogether. 

It's not that much of a big deal, but since it is my first time having to do all of those things, of course i have to be certain and do lots of research. Not just that, she also wants to be with her friends and all before they get to different schools, so there were lots of taking her and her friends out, bawak jalan2 and whatever. Also, not to leave my son behind, i had arranged things for him and his friends too so that there's no favoritism issue (something i hate so much and wouldn't want my kids to experience... but don't know la if i ni pun betul. Kita buat je apa yang kita rasa betul.).

Best ek jadi budak zaman ni?

Tapi i suka jugak my childhood. Best, dapat naik beskal gi rumah kawan.

And now it's 2026?!?!?! Febuari lak tu!

Assalamualaikum.

How is life? May Allah bless you and your life. As bulan Ramadan coming closer (next week!), may Allah bless our ramadan, make it easier for us all, improve and accept our ibadah, bring us closer to Him and allow us to istiqamah even after ramadan.

Amiiin.

Take care everyone, and doakan untuk our brothers and sisters in Palestine. May Allah bless them...
