Salam Maal Hijrah 1435 H

My phone was buzzing with all the Whatsapp messages since yesterday, with friends wishing each other Salam Maal Hijrah / Selamat Menyambut Awal Muharram.

Awal Muharram is also known as the Islamic New Year, thus most of them took this opportunity to seek forgiveness from others, and wishing them all the best for the coming year.

So in conjunction with this New Year, and also as a reminder that it will be 2014 in less than two months #wtf , I looked back at the resolutions I made early this year.

Damn I am ashamed with myself.

I think I did not achieved any of them.

Maybe I did a little, but a little does not go a long way on this matter.

Truthfully, I've made some decisions based on emotions these past few months, which I am now regretting a little, but I'm not allowing myself to mope.

I wish I was stronger.

I wanna be stronger.

So with this new year, and also with last 2 months of 2013 to go, I wanna be stronger and wiser in making decisions. I don't wanna be caught up too much with emotions. I don't want to give in to unnecessary temptations.

And I will love the ones that deserved to be loved.

I hope these 2 months will make me a better person to be able to face the coming 2014.

Salam Maal Hijrah.

So Sally can wait,

She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
