a new beginning

i'm obviously a day late in going about greetings of new year and resolutions but im gonna go thru them nevertheless. like every year, 2007 has brought many joys and grief as well. but im happy to say that overall, 2007 was a good year.

as of ystrdy, this blog has officially turned 1 =) this blog was never started for the public interest, its just a means for me to rant and rave about watever i feel like. but alhamdulillah, many frens have come across this blog and kept in touch. im not saying it was hate-mail free - i got my first couple of hate taggers during my 3rd or 4th mth of blogging? cant remember. but its been a blessing so far and imma keep blogging till i feel like it.

2007 was the year:

i officially had a 1 year-old relationship with current boyfren. we're still counting, people, so wish us luck.



i passed my first year of university which i am very grateful for. they say law is one of the toughest courses in uni so im glad that the kent law school has a critical approach to law which, personally, makes law a hell lot easier.

i started living with in the best house with the best housemates. okay, i may be exaggerating, but honestly, i cud not ask for better people to live with. i hope the feeling's mutual tho. hehehe



i discovered my love of sweating ie exercising. im no longer the rabz who shuns the sun but now i thrive and crave on exercise. nothing like a morning yoga session or a jog in winter ;p right bee? also discovered that i CAN cook and clean, contrary to my mum's belief. so i can be domestic when it comes down to it. 2007 was quite a year of self-discovery hehe.

i got closer to my cousins, which is great. blood really is thicker than water. i'm talking abt u loud, crazy, silly girls, kaka itah, kaka amal, cits, imah and huda. i love u girls =)

i spent my first new year's eve with the boyfren. thank u for everything u've done for me.

theres definitely more to it, like karaoke-ing in london with the best gang ever (azam rirah aufa malvern girls auntie tipah sanny etc), shopping in factory outlets (haha awu. nda pandai miss nie shopping ah) and the final harry potter book! it was a good year and hopefully i've learnt from my mistakes in 2007. 2008 will insyaAllah, roll in a better me.

as for resolutions? i believe new year is just an excuse for ppl to make any because if u really wanna change, u can do it anytime of the year. but then again, a new year calls for a fresh start, no? anyhoos, something profound happened to me lastnite and a conversation today made me rethink about what i am and what i do. so for 2008, following apip's footsteps, i vow to spend/shop less (and yes, dont laugh! if apip can do it, so can i) and bersyukur for what i have. i'll try to expect less from others so when others do make the effort, i'd appreciate it more.

lastly, thank u to all the colourful people who have come my way. happy new year and gudluck to everyone whos looking for a fresh start.

much love,
