Highlight of this year.

Hello, its the last 1.43am of 2013 and thanks to a long evening nap I'm wide awake now. I know I'd look back to each passing year reminiscing the highlight of it. The road not taken yet is full of thrilling possibilities and frankly I'm not sure to be eager or scared.

Alhamdulillah, new friendship buds and I'm as grown up as I can afford to be ;) Learning never stops in any branch that I decide to reach. Family has been far and distance is never easy, but there is never a stronger bond than blood. Not just to fall back to when times are bad, but to share the happiness from little joys to significant achievements.

And I (and my significant other) & our families decided to mark the end of the year with an engagement. I'm engaged to a dear friend whom I trust to give and share my whole future with. I'm still overwhelmed by our meeting and so forth and whatever that will come next. Here's to everything that's worth in this world and may the future union be the best for both, dunia and akhirat.

To each falling, there is hikmah, and so everyone keeps reminding me that (thank you!) and now I'm reminding you and myself. Always be grateful of the countless blessings; something that is so easy to slip from our minds. A simple act of sincere smiling would spread a ray of sunshine on others. Be positive, set your mind to turn into an optimist. And ask for forgiveness, from the Almighty and other beings.

Remind me if I ever get my heads up too high. Good night :)
