a random photo I took on my way home from work
Assalamualaikum. Hi.
I just finished reading LENNE's blog, and instantly I felt the urge to start writing again. Just like her, I had this blog at the back of my mind. I kept logging in and out, blogwalking, tonnes of writing ideas, but I just wasn't ready to really write until I read her latest post. But what kept me from writing was just my hectic life - I called my life hectic, even though it's merely the same routine every day. More like an excuse, I guess.
So much had happened halfway through the year 2025. I finally submitted my application for PhD study. I was told that there will be an interview for that in September, so I need every prayer that anyone could give me. My sister in law gave birth to a baby girl last week, our first grandchild in the family. I could feel all the happiness in our family following her birth. It was wonderful.
And that's that.
The second half of the year is approaching, and I'm unsure of what to expect. Having submitted my PhD application, I would start the semester in October, but somehow I feel like I don't want to anymore. For now, I just follow the flow of what's coming in that matters. In terms of my job, I had the busiest schedule compared to the years before. I felt like splitting my body into parts so that I could handle every job at the same time since most jobs had the same deadline.
I also went for a girls' trip with my friends for the first time since I got married. We went to Genting Skyworlds Theme Park and had our stay at Signata Hotel. It was fun, a much-needed me time, escaping reality for a bit. However, there wasn't so much progress on spending time on my physical health and hobby - which is this blog. So for a better year, I plan to improve myself in that sense. Typical, I knoww.
I just hope for the best, for a better version of myself in the future.
How was your first half of the year 2025? And what do you expect in the next half?
Till then,
Lya
