MasyaAllah it's the last day of the year and my previous post was back on the first day of the year. Alhamdulillah, I am alive by His will. Not the best of years I've had to be honest, but alhamdulillah, we move brother.

It's been nearly a year I have gotten married. Good to leave behind the stress of wedding planning and move ahead with the new challenges as newlyweds. Alhamdulillah for my lovely wife. I have not been the best as a husband to her. I do realise at times how I am 'slacking', and do what I can to snap out of it. With His mercy, we accomplished our travel goals of riding to Thailand and hiking at Nepal (more like my own goals to bring her along haha).

It's a bad year in terms of my job. I had some screw ups which led me to the lowest of lows. There were unbearable days but I pulled through them thankfully. Just as I thought last year that I was progressing well in my career, things really took a 180 degrees turn. I can't lie to myself. I envy those who work and have plenty to look forward to at work or at least find their work bearable enough. A career change is imminent. Ya Rabb, you know what's best for me. You're the Al Alim. Open the doors of rizq in ways only You can make it happen. You're the Al Fattah. May I set the right intentions in finding rizq and be blessed with a career that is khair for me. Amin 

Life goes on. Some people have to go to make way for the new. Such is life. I cherish my time with my family more now that I am living at my in-laws'. I have more friends who are married now, as well as more weddings to attend next year. May I be reminded of how ephemeral this dunya is and seek to attain His pleasure in all that I do. Laugh less, live more, selawat always, and to love dearly.

If you see goodness in Allah, there is goodness in this dunya. I am nothing without your guidance Ya Rabb. I belong to you ya Allah. May I carry out all my amanah well and be in remembrance of You.
