Moving Forward

Oh, almost forgot to mention,

I found a new job after more than 2 years of being a SAHM.

Mika is getting older and the more that I notice that he's missing something. Same age interactions. I tried to bring him out and let him mingle at playgrounds and play centers. He seemed awkward but enjoys it very much. He also lacks proper interaction response, meaning he doesn't know how granted It has only been only me and him most of the day.

So, I decided, it's time for him to go to playschool. But to do that, I need a job too. You know, to pay for the school.

So after almost half a year of actively searching for a proper job, I finally found one at WOBB. The location is a little far from our current home, but transportation wise, very convenient, plus there's a Montessori school very close by.

So, I got the job as a Video Editor, the company has been great, people are so friendly and accepting. I never had a company culture so proper and true. All this while my work has been the strongest survive (in both filming and event company).

Topet has never been happier that I finally got into the proper company system. He could relate so much with me now, even more than just talking about parenting. Of course, we had to sacrifice somethings, like unlimited holidays and breaks, but there's so much more benefits than the latter.

So, in the end, I got a job and a 'break' from being a parent for a while (don't get me wrong, I love being a mom, but I was seriously losing my sense of self-identity), Mika improving in his social skills and Topet is happy that I'm helping with the household income (meaning more money for saving, holidays and nice things). 

New Little One

Alhamdulillah...

I'm going towards my 2nd trimester with our 2nd child.

Mika is turning 3 years old at the end of this month.

I must say, we plan this very well indeed...

3 years gap.. huhu..

Speaking of family planning,

It triggers me that I was once told that,

"I speak as if I'm Godless..

To do family planning is not to trust Allah's plans."

I believe that Allah understands his servants' life sustainability, lifestyle, and needs.

We also need to limit ourselves every day to cope with living life in the city.

It's different compared to before.

People gave birth to many so, their kids can help them with work at a ripe age of 6.

We don't do that anymore nowadays.

We provide them until they're 18, sometimes even more.

From education, home, sustenance, protection, and affection.

It's a different age now,

So, we need to live in the current era.

"I trust that rezeki comes from Allah.

But, I also trust that we need to use our mind to limit ourselves"

In syaa Allah

"Ikat lah unta dan berserah la kepada Allah"
