Salam ramadan to everyone across the world. Can't deny, with this Covid-19 virus going around everywhere, it has been tough for everybody, especially the muslim community. We entered the month of Ramadan without being able to iftar with our love ones, our friends, our families due to the Circuit Breaker in Singapore. Initially, it was until 1st May 2020 but the Prime Minister has decided that it will be extended till 1st June 2020. And that means, we aren't able to gather at the mosque for Solat Raya on the 1st day, no visiting our families, nothing. Although it's a good thing, considering that it will help a lot for the virus to go away, I believe, most of us are sad. It feels like the good vibes of the fasting month and coming Hari Raya wouldn't be the same as to compare to the previous years. But that's okay, everyone. We can do this! Our local cases has been declining and that's a good news, right? If we continue to stay home and be socially responsible when we're out, we're helping each other by battling the virus to go away as soon as possible. Not forgetting, the frontliners who are working very hard. Kudos to all of them and I pray that they will be rewarded for working very, very hard everyday to keep Singapore safe.
I believe that this is also a tough time for most of us who has mental issues. I couldn't stand the Circuit Breaker the moment they announce, what more when they extended. I'm the type of person who always stays outdoor to distract myself from overthinking or whenever I'm depressed. But ever since this Circuit Breaker, it was hard for me to get used to staying indoors other than getting active again like how I used to jog every Friday, back then. Jogging helps me to release my tension // stress and I'm happy that it has helped me a lot to also distract myself in this tough time. I'm glad I am still able to stay outdoor, doing things that I love. Here's to my people who is suffering from mental issues. We can do this. A little while more and we'll be free, insyaAllah. Okay? Nonetheless, I'm very grateful to have my love ones during this tough time, finding time to figure out together with me on the activities that can be done at home like netflix party, or sharing screen through skype and watching movies together, playing games to upgrade my rank on Call Of Duty, trying out new recipes for my baking business, etc. It has really helped me a lot apart from me going for a jog so, here's to my loved ones who've help me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys are wonderful. You guys are amazing and I am blessed to have you guys around. You all know who you are.
Through this tough time, I bought few books to keep myself occupied as well. Initially, reading was a no for me. Trust me, I could fall asleep the moment I read the first paragraph HAHAHA! But, I realise that I should read it out so that I won't fall asleep and it has helped since then. One of my close friend introduced me to ImanShoppe. It's a bookstore in KL and it sells a lot of Islamic books which I then decided to try out and purchase 3 books from them and they are : -
1. The art of letting God
2. Bersangka baik pada Allah (Think Highly of Allah)
3. A Juz A Day
Currently, I'm still reading The art of letting God and I've learnt a lot since then and I'm very grateful. Apart from that, having someone who has given me moral // mental supports each day to be positive always is one of the important factors that helps me to go through my daily life and I'm very grateful of this person. You know who you are. So thank you. I appreciate and am thankful that The Almighty gave us the chance to cross paths with each other. Here's to better days ahead, InsyaAllah. The book was an eye-opener for me and it helped me in realising that things do happen for a reason and instead of wondering and thinking why certain things has to happen, we shall not stop reminding ourselves that He is the ever-loving and He knows best. All of our life journeys are beautifully written by The Almighty and I'd always remind myself that The Almighty does not give us the slightest whisper of His plans and that we should be grateful when things did not happen the way we wanted it to be because He knows what's best for us and that we should always remind that everything that happened has a blessing in disguise.
Moving forward, my relationship did not worked out and I knew it was for the best. I told myself not to dwell on it or to be sad about it because why? Everything happens for a reason and there will always be a blessing in disguise. I'm glad that the people around me helped me religiously on some days and that's what encouraged me to be a better version of myself. I'm happy to have people surrounding me with love, to always remember The Almighty and to always be grateful of what I have and what He has presented me. And honestly, I am very blessed with my life right now. Never did I mentioned about being happy that my previous relationship has come to an end but I believe that certain things have to fall apart to make way for better things. Nonetheless, thank you for the memories we've shared together. May you be blessed with happiness and good health. Right now, I just want to focus on becoming a stronger woman and to always have patience, confidence in myself and a positive mindset to go through the upcoming challenges that The Almighty has planned out for me, InsyaAllah.
Here's to the last few days of Ramadan and may we see each other again in the next Ramadan, InsyaAllah.
