Touch Base ~ Life is...

-
I can t remember the last time I wrote. definitely quite some time ago. Work never ends. Juggling home and office requires more than just time and energy. Life is giving us things ranging from pleasant to the unpleasant. But all in all, thankful, we managed to get through it Alhamdullillah. for all the things that painted colors on our canvas of life. At the end it is going back to what makes our life meaningful. How our existence really has been in full use as we utilize all what we have to strive for a better day each day making us a better person in the eyes of our Creator.

Life is ...
Our questions unanswered. How pleasing others can never really happen in a real world.  Accepting truth can be painful. What is good to us may not be best for others. Things we thought we do good may be viewed negative by some. How negativity affects our ways of looking at things. How we can get carried away sometime with we do.

Life is just another day passed by. Another hopes and wishes created. Another meaningful life created just the way we see as we learned every single things happened in our life marked something significant to ourself as a whole.
The best part is, we have the autonomy to define.. What
Life is...To us

Alfatihah for mom & dad. Muga tenang disana.
We miss you Ayah!  Our 7 years of Loss

Reflect on the soothing sounds of this meaningful song

The Meaning of Loss Part 1 (my parents my permanent inner strengths)

-
When mom died, that was my greatest loss and most challenging experience I ve ever had. Unexpected and sudden. Not prepared, seemed unreal & unbelievable. The first few years were hard for us. Everyday, I woke up, I wished, what I had, was just a bad dream. Never had I thought, I would lose my mom so soon. Never would I thought I would be motherless at a very young age. much younger for my sisters.. Everything seemed bleak. It was like being a raft and the water took us down the stream. We were so lost that that we followed the stream, balancing the waves in between the journey and dad was the captain who was just experimenting the journey with us behind us. We had to hold him tight as well. The profound meaning of losing someone important in our lives, only we can we define. never knew ot could be so painful. For many years, I went through life as it takes me to many other wonderful journey. Could not remember how many clases and course have I attended to be a b...
