As usual, I usually discover my writing inspiration at odd hours. I am currently waiting for my next flight to Kota Kinabalu. Again, my entry is related to Kota Kinabalu; just like my previous post. HAHAHA
I will be on my end of year leave next week; and this time I will be enjoying my Christmas holiday at nearby country. This gonna be my 4th year having my Christmas holiday abroad; starting with Padang in 2014, then Taiwan in 2015 and Mauritius last year. This gonna be the most "full with hope" trip as there are some hiccups while planning for this and I will be on my first 2018 oversea trip in less than 45 days after next week's trip completed. It sounds hectic but I must admit I love this kind of life.

Moving from one place to another like Bedouin is simply fantastic for me. I got to meet various strangers, learn on many things that are sometimes outside of my normal thinking capacity but amazingly proven works at the most unexpected time, strengthen my faith to the One and Only Almighty, be creative in mix and match with the hope that my photobook later will be not a boring one and it opens up my eyes how having less stuff is actually enriching my life.
As a consequence of travel, I become less hoarder from time to time. De-cluttering almost once in every quarter has been my habit. I start to appreciate moments. I enjoy deep talk with the people that I care the most. I am more connected from time to time but the sad thing is the people that trust become lesser. I start to respect myself by not spending my time on irrelevant and insignificant people and matter. It sounds selfish but I have gain my own time more for self-improvement and enhancement. It is such an indescribable feeling.
Next year will be my sixth year in career and my last year of having an age that starts with figure number two. The year after next will qualify me to be part of the thirties communities. After all, age is just a number and we can always live young and healthy with good daily habit that covers all crucial dimensions of holistic excellent lifestyle; physical, mental, emotion & spiritual.

I suddenly miss the moment I flied for umrah last May when I saw a lot of special guests of Allah were queueing for check-in to Jeddah/ Madinah; on top of watching lots of my current & previous circles were currently performing their umrah via social media (of course they were not updating the social media while performing the ibadah).
This is my current reflection at current moment and hopefully I will have the determination to write again in soonest time; at least one entry before we enter 2018. Ameen. Insha Allah :)
Have a nice day. Wassalam~
