2016... goodbye

3^rd day of 2017…

2016 was a challenging year with few bad incidents and some good things that happened.

Bad Things

I was working without pay since April and counting..  Yes, still.
I had a few meltdowns, I was at my lowest. I wish I had the courage to tell my parents that I am going through difficult time but I just can’t.

I lost blackie on auction in Oct, it hurts.

I was served with writ of summon for my personal financing. Went to court for the hearing, was given a time to settle the dues, expecting the salary to be cleared but nothing yet.

Good Things

I managed to keep snowy with me and I am slowly accepting the fact that blackie is no longer mine

I managed to do full settlement on my ocbc credit card, thank you to little brother for his help (technically I borrowed from him)

I managed to settle some of the outstanding dues for my cash financing, thanks to someone dear who have helped me continuously since April.. to her I owe my sincere appreciation and I am meaning to pay her back

I got my salary, but not in full. Alhamdulillah with that 10k, I managed to settle some outstanding for snowy/ the cash financing and few others. The Company still owe me 29k as at Dec 2016

I got promoted with a huge raise on my payroll and bonus

I survived

My hope for 2017

To have all my outstanding salaries

To do more good things for my family especially my mom and dad.

To be a better daughter/ sister/ friend and on top of that to be a better muslimah.

To recite the Quran everyday even if it just one page

To save more/ spend less as 2017 is predicted to be a financially challenging year for everyone,

To start tabung Umrah for Mom/ Dad and myself

So happy new year… 2017, I am ready.

Dear Allah, please keep me humble before you, and firmly grounded in the correct belief. Protect me with your hidayah, and keep me in your IMAN.
