9 months later...

Nine months later and no, I have not given birth to another child. That will be a discussion somewhere in the future and not at this particular moment in my life, thank you very much. Nine months later and there have been a few, if not significant, changes in my life. I have finally settled down in my job as a medical officer in a community clinic.

 

Dear KK Setapak, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

                      

Nine months later and i have gained not one, but two sisters-in-law who both, by the grace of the Almighty, happen to share the same name. Ammelia the Elder and Amelia the Younger... that's what i call them privately. Formally, it's Kak Amy and Amy respectively. I don't think the older Ammelia would appreciate me referring to her as Elder in person.

Hassan and Husain have grown into two boisterous little boys.

 

Mind if you guys share the joke?

Nine months later and I am almost at the end of my Journey to Become, Part I. It almost seems like yesterday that I embarked on this trip. Another three months will tell, and InsyaAllah the journey won't end in vain.

Nobody knows what Allah s.w.t has in store for us. This is our Qada' and Qadar. But I do believe that with a little bit of effort, we can change our destiny for the better. So what do I have planned for myself in another nine months? That will be for me to know.
