when life is too sedentary

Looking back, life is too relaxing now. Back in the HO days, running around, oncalls is a daily routine. Weight gain was never a problem. But I had so much fun despite the bickering adn complaining at the end of the day.

Now that life is too stagnant waiting for things to happen.. i wish i am back then. But then again, i better becareful what I'm wishing for...

One of my senior colleague sort of advised me to take it easy now and enjoy the days. Go with the flow. Read books. Learn. Maybe she is right. So by the time I start, I hit the ground running :)

But I hope this super long stagnant period of relaxtion will not put my brain, stamina and motivation to halt. I am still young and there are a million things I want to do!

This is human nature. The way we are created is to never be fully satisfied in whatever situation we are in. If we win 1000 bucks, we wished it's 100000. If we got 10 straight As, we wished it's 11As. Wishing for a bigger house, higher salary, better looks, nicer food. And the list is endless!

Please remember to thank God. For He knows what is best for us. Although we thought this is the worst situation ever, it is actually for the best. He created us and have been looking after each and every one of us since we are just a small nutfah. He knows us far better than we know ourselves. Hence, alhamdulillah... in this relaxed situation I am in, I thank You God, for always looking after me and putting me in the best situation possible. Thank you.

Have you said your thanks today?

have i been the laziest blogger in town?

may peace and love be amongst us today, along with Allah's blessings and guidance.

I have to agree if u want to nominate me as the laziest, most out of touch blogger ever. I am ashamed to call myself one as the stark vacancy in the entries deserves a national boo! i apologize. :S

A lot have happened through out the past few months, hence, i shall tell u all about it in numerical order. And of course, all praises to God, for His countless bounty towards me way.

1. I am pregnant! :D
I am now a healthy pregnant mother to iAllah a healthy girl (from the scans- which hopefully not misleading in my case). I have got another 3 months to term, and finding pregnancy a time to reflect on my nonpregnant days. The times when I am not as tired and able to do more for Allah, but then, no thanks to pure laziness and syaitan laknatullah's whispers- ended up not doing as much ibadah! Thinking of those fit slim days, I wish I put a lot more effort and energy into the good things. Haih..
Well, now I just have to chin up and strive hard to do the extra ibadah on top of the wajib ones.. no matter how tired and sleepy my eyes are..

2. I am now a doctor in a university! (trainee lecturer)
After long months of unemployment (personal choice :P ), I am now emplyed and alhamdulillah it's a brilliant job. It will allow me to further my studies in a field I chose next year, which is perfect timing too, because, by then I will have delivered the baby, and completed my confinement. Its wonderful timing, thanks to Allah, for He is the best Planner :) Just leave everything to Him, wo worries, he will sort it out for u and me. All we have to do is try our best, pray hard, and work hard. He will iAllah look after u ;) the way He always look after me.

3. We have found a house to move in by the end of this month iAllah.
Its a lovely house near my workplace, hence, I will be able to commute to work without much traffic jam! (and save on fuel, and be able to not contribute so much towards carbon emmision :D ) *yeay*
At the moment, I am travelling 1 hour plus, up to 1 and a half hour to work, and again the same amount of time spent back from work. Its a hassle! And I was furious at first to not be able to get into this house ASAP after I started work. But again, alhamdulillah, it was a blessing in disguise (hikmah). Last week, this house was broken into and lots of stuff were stolen. Luckily no one was in the house and the tenant only lost a few items of not great value (but it is still a lost to them). I hope that if they are patient, these trials will earn them good deeds and iALlah will help them to enter jannah with ease :)amiin.

These are the big major things that have occurred. I will keep u updated more as time comes, and hopefully iAllah this time, I will make time to write. I have been somewhat preoccupied with interviews, and whatnot for the past few months, but those were over now :) Pray so that we have a blessed life here and after, and more hikmah willcome our way. amiin!
