So how was your 2017?

Me?

A lot of things happened last year, well, one of it was me getting another baby out of my uterus XD Possibly the biggest thing that happened last year! (BET YOU'RE ALREADY BORED OF THIS LOL)

I've read about 2017 reflections a lot on my social media feed, and I was thinking about doing the same..just NOT on social media. On my blog instead, cause I've been neglecting my first baby for far too long.

Compared to 2016, I think 2017 was..tough. I had to learn a lot of new things; things that are so alien to me and I could feel my positive energy was slowly draining out. Be it personal life, career, etc - things were just a lot harder, despite turning 30s.



Giving birth, taking care of a newborn and soon returning to workforce - it was such a mindblowing experience for me. It was my second time of doing this, and yet I was so clueless and unprepared (when I thought I've prepared enough) that I felt like everything I was doing turned out wrong. If it weren't for Shahrul, this God-given angel on my side, I don't think I'd survive the whole ordeal.

Pursuing Master's. Harder than it seems. Especially when you have 2 babies to care for. But I'm learning so many things that I wouldn't learned in my line of work. Like, doing this reminds me of how much I used to love Add Maths back in high school - I was the type who'd do Add Maths textbook's practice (the kinds that every chapter would have at the end of the lesson) even though the teacher didn't ask us to do, with music blasting off my headphone. Not sure why I liked it though, but friends had even acknowledge this as my favorite pastime haha #nerd

Brushing up my cooking skill - we bought a pressure cooker late last year in effort to make homemade meals every day easier, and I'm happy to say it's been serving well! Happy days are when I reach home at 6 pm with these 2 babies hanging off my hip, and whipped out dinner by myself. Call me conservative, but yes those are the little things I live for, having a full-time job and being a mom to 2 boys T.T

Discovered Netflix. Can't remember why we have Astro anymore..

Oh, don't even get me started on those 2 boys - one is turning 3 next month, and one is turning 1 year old in 4 months' time. My biggest wish right now is having that button I can use to stop time.

Health wise, not very good. After 6 months of giving birth, my hormone imbalance strikes again which causes my skin to have breakouts (pregnancy hormones gave me good skin!) and now that I'm so fond of makeup, I'd have to pay more attention to my skin too. My back pain aka the bitch is back, and I'm having trouble bending forward or bending over because my back would be so painful T.T


Oh, hello, 30s. It's nice to meet you.
