3 years to 2020

People say that when we want to achieve something, it is better for us to write it down. So that, subconsciously or consciously, we move towards that goal(s).

Here it goes

Soul Food
  • To understand the translation of my prayers. I mean, reciting it in Arabic is one thing but to truly grasp the meaning is just a different ball game. 
  • Pray on time because Allah is in control of what you are rushing for. So why the heck am I bolting through my 2, 3, 4 rakaats. I am not even in a race.
  • To not skip my Dhuha, if I have 5 minutes to play Clash Royale, I should be able to allocate 5 minutes for Dhuha.
  • To continue fasting on Monday and Thursday. Give the tummy a good break.
  • To constantly be mindful of my awrah. Just because you want to quickly grab something from the car, you might bump into someone in the elevator. Rightfully covered, yes?no?maybe?
  • Remember, to do more of what pleases Allah than the rest.

Mental and Physical Health
  • Enjoy Xian in February and survive the first ever solo trip. Terracotta armies, let's be best friend for 7 days.
  • Grab the ticket for Autumn (end of Oct, early Nov) to Korea, I shall experience the brown, green, red leaves once and for all. Naejangsan National Park fighting!!
  • Need to find my reading mojo again, lost it after I moved back from Singapore. Books are expensive in Malaysia but that's just an excuse (few stacks of books are waiting to be read by yours truly)
  • Complete the courses that I've signed up for R and Data Analytics for Excel. Please, you're enrolled for the 2nd time for both courses.
  • Keep track of my financials so that I can recover my savings. House and renovation put a dent in my balances, oh no. Not a dent, it's a FREAKING HOLE.
  • Successful people exercise. I want to be one so I should follow up suit. 30 minutes a day is doable right?
  • Cook more and dine out less. Gosh, spent so much money on that stainless steel standing cooker but up till now, still haven't bought the gas cylinder.
  • Find a new job that is more research and analytics centric. Missed being an industry analyst ;\

With consistent doa, continuous effort and tawakal, nothing is impossible.
