New Year 2k19 - NYE Celebration

Dear you,

Upon the new year's eve celebration:

Mia's verdict:

1. Want to go out for new year celebration.
2. Longing to watch fireworks live and big. 
3. Want to go out and have super duper fun like any other capable youth. 
4. Don't mind travelling to KL from Seremban on one of these days.

Koob's verdict:

1. What is the difference between fireworks seen on tv and live? 
2. Have watched fireworks in London, aint enough? 
3. It's hot. 
4. There's a lot of people.

Final verdict:

1. The fireworks in London from Primrose Hill was close to nothing, it was tiny from up there. (As seen in the last picture from this post)
2. I've longed for fireworks and celebration because my old folks was all about going out during celebrations when I was a little girl. Now that, theyre in their golden years, it is impossible for the to brave the crowd. 
3. Made an agreement for travelling -- I'd drive to KL, Koobs would drive back Seremban (But on the day, he drive both ways yay!). 

After one persuasion session to another persuasion, Koobs said yes to going out on new year's eve. Boy, am I not a happy girl? Hehehe. So you see, Koobs and crowd do not jive. He dislike crowd. He dislike hot weather. So when he did this for me, what a hero I got. Of course.... the persuasion included some heated arguments and me crying lol cengeng. I could use the term 'achingly' because that's how bad I wanted to go.

Onto the night, it was mostly lovely. We started our journey at 6.30pm from Seremban and strolled along The Curve - one shop to another and one restaurant to another. We finally decided on eating at 9.00pm. However, since twas the eve, we had to wait for another 30 minutes to be seated. We had our dinner at Italiannies, my treat to him for going my way. I had salmon and spinach fettucine and he had pepporoni pizza. Lovely food it was, loved the beef bacon especially. 

At 11.00pm, we head to the main street for the countdown -- just in time for Aizat's and Ruffedge's performance. Sang along to them, had the loveliest time. And then the event that I've been waiting for, the fireworks! Freaking 10 minutes show. My neck ached, and best to say it's enough of fireworks for a few years before I feel like watching again hahaha. And although it wasn't the nicest coordination, it was what I wanted to see. Koobs looked pretty stoked too (I wonder if he ever watched one growing up. And how he feels about it). And by 2.00am, 1st Jan 2019, I was already in my pyjamas.

Ah Koobs, I know you will never read this blog of mine. Because I like writing and literature, while you are completely the opposite. That sometimes, we have fights due to our inability to communicate our thoughts, expectations and frustration. But please know that each time I wrote, it was because I was inspired and loved. And the whole 2018, I felt it from you. Hence the massive writing on you (or us).

Who is the luckiest women alive? ME <3

Cheers,
Mia.

New Year 2K19 - A review in Mia's life.

Hello dear you,

So.... it's 3rd Jan 2019. I guess.... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2K19?! ;)

Well well... Twenty eighteen.

20-18.

2018!

... was overall a good year for me.

In 2017 I was dying. It was as rough as the waves in the ocean. My darkest time.

But it was my strength for 2018. I entered 2018 with a broken heart and self crisis - financially and emotionally. I was a nuisance to my old folks and family. But I bucked up and continue with my 2018's resolution of overcoming fear, self love and continuous improvement. Safe to say I kept up with my resolution.

I conquered my fears. I learned to swim. I started painting and blogging again. I followed my instinct, reenacted with my love of my life. I tried to come back home as frequent as possible to spend time with my family. I got my first proper job (in fact today's my work anniversary - 1st year of employment! Wee). I bought my first car. I conquered my bad shopaholic behavior. I started saving and realigning my money management. I decided to get married. And I could manage my anger better. Alhamdulillah alla kulli haal!

Basically, to put it out, me adulting was highly successful with my old folks' support. I will surely not be what I am without them both. I love my Mummy and Ayah too much. I cried. (During my year end leave, I had 10 days at home. One of the days, I was in my room when Mum suddenly came in reminding of the white garments and batik she has prepared when the day comes. I know it was good of her to prep but did it not hurt me? Of course it did. Secretly, there feels like a lump in my throat, unable to pass through. Phew! *crying again*)

And of course my family. Tho we're not the ideal-est set of siblings, absence of either one will have its impact.

And my love of my life - Koobs. For choosing and staying by my side despite what we have gone through.

And ultimately, big or small the achievements were, is all from the Lord itself - Allah SWT. For He surely holds the power to make it or make it not happen. Alhamdulillah for granting me such blessed life.

So to wrap it up, 2018 was a year of change as an individual. However, 2019 will be the year of change collectively since I will have to kiss the "Miss" goodbye. With the additional R in the "Mrs" comes the additional Responsibilty in my life. And then the adaptation to the new family, financial and future plannings.

But you know what, bring it on, 2019!

Love,
Mia.
