Gratitude Post

 Alhamdulillah, its Friday.

Manage to read Surah Al-Kahfi after lunch today. Made a small donation for Gaza as well. Remembering to Salawat to our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW too whilst I wrote this short post.

I have not written a proper gratitude post in awhile. I have been blessed all through out the year. I manage to spend some time with my parents last weekend. Took them on a road trip to Penang in my new car. Visited a durian orchard, ate a lot of durian. Such a blessing to still have their support and love. May Allah keeps them well and safe in this world and the next.

I went to get dinner with my youngest sister. Having her close by is such a gift too. Eventho she prefers to keep to herself most of the time, to be able to have dinner with her once in a while is really nice. 

Thankfully work has been slow and steady. We got a favourable decision for the case filed against us in Penang. The Plaintiff intends to file an appeal so, the matter is still open. I am grateful that I get to work in a corporate setting. A nice office, great colleagues, pretty surrounding and very near to my house. I hope I will not take these for granted. Share price is climbing steadily. It reached RM7.97 yesterday.

Eddy has been great too. He drove us to Penang, bracing the traffic and the challenging road conditions. Annoying but lovable at the same time. Thank you Allah for all these blessings.

Stop Doom Scrolling

Seems like nothing is going right with the world. Absolutely nothing. War in Gaza is still on going. Ukraine is getting bomb again. It seems like whenever I go on my social media. there are more bad news.

I want to be able to not doom scroll so much. I want to be able to just focus on 1 task at a time without getting distracted. For example, this is actually the second draft that I've been rewriting all over again simply because I cannot focus. I don't usually complaints on my blog but I've been putting these complaints on hold for so long. 

So much is going on with my life. I feel like I just don't want to deal with any of it and just go with the flow. Its not that I'm not flexible but, I rather plan things out in advance. I have not been able to do that as much as I want because ... I am either too busy doom scrolling or just tired of managing everything that is going on with my life right now.

An email just came in. Am I feeling this way due to the lack of emails to attend to in the office for the past few days?
