Mulan is Back for Good..

Dear,

Have been silence for years.. Try to come back but things just not in the right way..

Let me tell you why..

For the last 1 year & 4 months I was living on my own..Hubby was transfered to Sg Petani Kedah.. 

But being married for 9 years , it's not easy to come back after work to an empty house.This might works differently if I have kids .. Unfortunately not..

Hubby requested me to resigned & follow him to Sg Petani.. Been working for 16 years.. I don't see how I can stay at home.. 

So we continued with our life.. Being a weekend wife is easy.. but the loneliness is the worst.. Both side I guess..

After 4 months away, my house was broken into while I was at work.. Came back at 2am and that's was the worst nightmare ever...I'ts not the loss of all the valuable things that matter .. but part of my life was in tears.. The safety.. being alone at home.. it was sleepless night for me.. Stayed in the hotel.. my brother's house.. Even I took 1 week leave & stayed with hubby in Sg Petani..

But being away for 16 months also brings the best of our life..We appreciated every single moments , even a short weekend getaway... A run in Penang.. A bicycle Ride through Padi Field in Sg Petani.. and all the good food in Penang & Kedah.. Life is still good...

So many moments with mix of feelings .. emotions etc... and thank God we managed to overcome it ..

God works in his own mysterious ways, and protects me amazingly...

Ramadhan 1433H , was the best month ever as it also brings back hubby to KL after 16 months in Sg Petani..

No more breaking fast alone.. No more lonely nite.. No more long night phone conversation before sleeping..

Life is good ..and back to normal.. Alhamdulillah.

Welcome back myDear !!

A Friday to Remember...

So many changes in life , personal or even my work life made me a lil bit ignoring the blog.. how could I did such things... There's so many pending drafts & stuffs ..

But this morning.. While was on my way back home from paying all e bills in Puchong , it was like a wake up call listening to a song by Sheila Majid #DiDlm Emosi Ini not sure though which radio station was that.. but the song really blew me away.. and made me to write this..

#DiDalam Emosi Ini was my all time fav from Sheila M ! It was from the best Malay Album Ever #Emosi released somewhere in 1987-88 I guess.. that was 24 years ago..

And that was also the beginning of my teen life.. I was 16 in 1987.. and e beginning of the journey of all the upside down of my life.. Feel like crying when I think of those days.. but at times I can't believe that I'm still here .. in this world enjoying my life to the max..

I was confused , mixed up in life and it doesn't stop there.. I was a very " keep to myself my own secret " person.. will never shared it with anybody .. even BFF or all my beloved sisters.. and yes it remains until today..

I believed that you need to have a world of ur own and it just dedicated to you..

Named it from Ipoh then I further my studies in Science in Kuantan.. back to Ipoh for a year working and continue my Law studies in Shah Alam.. before I ended up working in a totally different industry .. that is Retail until today..

And looking back at my younger years, trust me if I would like to tell you the whole stories.. can't even finished it in a 24 episode of Sinetron.. It was such a long story... but yet I'm a strong person.. I knew that.. I'm a stubborn blonde.. a named given to a good friend once ..

Love , to be loved , lost in love was here & there.. Being with the wrong persons.. Ran away from the right persons.. Being so in loved , Ran away from loved .. everything was there.. And the people I've been with ? You will be suprised...

Even when I told not even half of the real story to my hubby he was like.. " Ok .. I've lost count on ur ex boyfriends duh.. how many & who & why you didn't ended up with them.. " and we will laughed away with it..

Love, Personal & even working life were always a drama , name it a good one or a tragic one.. I've been there.. & what made me really felt touch by the song today.. that I've survived all that.. Bring it on and I'm sure I'll get through with it..

For e last 1 month the emotions were at times seems to be mixed & confused too..

And I was trying my best not to think of it.. or at times even to face it.. that's my weaknesses.. running from a problem that ended up I'll face a new one..

Be strong , because strong people can't be defeated..

I'll always believe in that.. Always..

But at times strong people got feelings too.. and strong people got hurt too...

To all of you out there who've been part of my life all these years.. and

To all of you out there that once loved & care for me & accept me as what I am..

Thanks for all the memories.. you know who u are..

To my beloved husband.. who have always been there the moment I met him..

I owed you my whole life & I dedicated it to you...

11 days to go to venture into a whole new era .. And I guess I'm ready ..

Alhamdulillah...

#DiDalaam Emosi Ini

Welcome Back Mulan ;)

Exactly one month that Mulan After Work was abandoned..

Reasons.. so many things happened that deviates me away from this .. the last entry speaks for itself..

Anyway , games is over.. Dreams , Fairy Tales , just set all those stuffs aside..

In life , there's only 1 word : Reality .

Life should be back to the normal routine..

I was on my 1 week leave that will ended today.. taking a rest.. a long rest , mind , body & soul .

Tomorrow is a new day, tomorrow is a new Monday.. and I guess tomorrow will never be the same again..

Regardless, Mulan After Work will still be by my side thru thick & thin..

Mulan After Work will still be there listening to me.. my stories..

Mulan After Work will always there for me..

Maybe there'll be more entry than ever ? Maybe..

And for that I thank you !

God Works .

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words... These 2 pictures was among my favourites, were taken in Cameron Higlands few months ago..

Browsing thru old pictures does at times deviates me away from things that was bothering my mind...

My status on Facebook last Thursday was a bit down.. not a bit.. but I was really down.. Infact it was updated as soon as I got the news...

" God works in his own mysterious ways, I wish I knew the answer ;( "

I was really sad at that moment... it might be a small matter to certain people , or I was too carried away , too emotional , but I'm just human..that at times I cant hide the feelings.. can't run away from being very sad.. and thus broke into tears... yes, I broke in tears late nite when I was alone in the office ..

I was tought to be a strong person.. all my life I hold on to " Be Strong Because Strong People Cannot Be Defeated.. " but this time I failed.. I'm lost.. I'm speechless..

The issue of love, life & work is just a simple thing towards anybody..

I even reply thru my twitter , " my life is at times weird , no one will understand me." and no one will know what deep inside my heart .. or even my true my feelings .. cos at times, there's a dark side in my heart that I prefer to keep it to myslf.." will never ever let it go as no one will ever understand it.. never .

Yes, God Works in his own Mysterious Ways, I guess He knows what's the best for me..

A beautiful all time my favourite .

Do You Know Where Youre Going To?

A Gift For Mom..

Dah semua selesai, my mom with her Bday Card & the gift that we gave her...

the best part about my mom, dia memang susah nak mintak apa2 dari anak dia, apa saja dia nak she'll buy on her own diam2, so at times kita tak tau pun apa she really wants..

even if you gave her money, dia akan ended up bought things for the house kat kg , that will benefit everybody.. mcm heater kat bilik airlah, upgrade kitchen cabinet lah... nothing for her..

so, that's why all of us selalu will buy her things, cos you know that she'll never ask from you...

kalau tak for the house, dia akan beli pulak brg2 utk cucu lah....

hope she really like the ring from Habib, cantik sangat & I love it too.. he.. he..
spending the time with the cucu is what she loves best despite berkebun...

one thing that I tak dapat ikut dia is berkebun.. I guess none of us pun...
her touch that apa pokok yg dia tanam bunga ke, pokok buah ke.. mesti menjadi punya... then bila dia bagi kat kitorang, esp me.. alamat pendeklah nyawa pokok tu.. huh..

she always told me that kena selalu bercakap dgn pokok.. talk to them.. aiyoo.. mama, manalah ada masa kan.. selalunya tgok pun masa pergi dan balik kerja je.. itulah masalahnya...

Hanna & my mom now ni dah rapat & gang.. kalau my mom masuk bilik... nanti she will come , knocking the room & checking opah dia wat apa.. he.. he.. cute kan..
Meera & Hanna dok sibuk nak naik basikal, that was Meera's bicycle, tapi since dia dah besar, susah plak nak bawak the bike dah.. Hanna plak rasa she's big enough nak naik sorang 2.. he.. he..
the girl in Red & Pink.. so sweet...
