Let's Pick Up!

One of my biggest regret is I don’t write as often as I did in my college years. Heck, who am I kidding, I don’t write nothing except lesson plans nowadays. Or on the whiteboard in my class. I didn’t write about my wedding, or my pregnancy, or my baby’s birth story, or any of the milestone he achieved! yes there were so many things to write but I was such a lazybum! I kept drafting and drafting and drafting and leaving the drafts on cold hard grounds called blogpost.

Ok, so here I’ll cram everything in one post, a short one I promise!

Update no 1: getting married!
I got married on 30th August 2014, which is actually 2 years ago. To the guy I was engaged to, whom I met while I was doing my practical. (WHAT? I didn’t tell you how we met?) More on those later la. Don’t worry I’ll remember it like it was yesterday, it was such a sweet memory to both of us.

Update no 2:I finished my studies!
It was some time in November, I finally graduated in B.Ed TESL in IPGKPP Penang. I was soooo psyched and elated at first, goodbyes to all the assignments and tutorials but actually today there is nothing I long more than to sit at the back of the class with my 18 classmates from TESL2. Missing them like crazy!

Update no 3: my father passed away.
I used to blog a bit about him, my old man. He started getting sick late October. The doctors didn’t know what it was. He was hospitalized for a while, before being paralysed and got discharged. We found that he had infection in his brain, and was sent home with pills. He was actually recovering the last time we took him for a check up, but passed away on 3rd December 2014.

Update no 4: I got pregnant!
It’s funny what time can do to you. In 2009 when I enrolled in college, I was me, that clueless girl (still pretty clueless). I didn’t know what I was going to do, or anything. But the last week in college, 5 and a half years later, I found out I was pregnant. It was in a clinic in Bayan Lepas, the doctor was a Chinese named Reuben. I still remember the moments, we told the doc the symptoms, he asked us to check, I peed, the lab gave me the result and I peeked at it and Alhamdulillah a positive! I was pregnant.

Update no 5: I got posted!
I finally got to know my posting result on 29th January 2015 (writing that here for future reference, need to remember that forever!). My first school is SK Changkat Lada 3, a school in Kg Gajah, in the district called Perak Tengah. Quite far from Ipoh, a quiet residential area that is totally different from the Ipoh or Penang that we are used to. I am currently living here, renting a house (yes we now don’t live with our parents anymore. More on that later. Maybe next year.)

Update no 6: My son was born!
Muhammad Atifurrahman bin Muhammad Akasyah. 13 July 2015, 10:26am in Ipoh. Caesarian, not exactly my birth plan, but after 17 hours of labour pain all I wanted was to get the baby out. Alhamdulillah, he’s a year plus now. Has yet learnt to walk, but can call Momma and Poppa! The spitting image of me.


Ok so I guess that’s all from now. Let’s all pray that I will be consistent in writing this blogpost! Toodles!
