30 Questions Before I Turn 30
I can't believe I'm turning 30 soon. Honestly, I feel like makcik-makcik already with always wearing the tudung sarong. I have an active toddler now I need to be quick so either I reach for my tudung sarong or pleated shawl, I got no time to iron.
Speaking of quick, let's make this post a quick one. This post is inspired by Fashion Accro
Can I berangan like this is an interview from Vogue? Oh a girl can only dream. Let's begin.
I'm most proud of is when I decided to quit my job from a toxic environment and putting myself and my mental state as my top priority.
2. Who inspires me? Why do they inspire me?
My mom, for sure. I'm just at awe of her strength and unconditional love towards us family. She's in her 50s and she still has the energy to do so many things. I just hope that I can become like her one day.
3.What does my ideal morning look like?
There's a lot of ideal morning situations that I like but right now a sleep in would be my current ideal morning. I haven't sleep in like I used to since becoming a mom. I just need a little longer of sleep. That's all I'm asking.
4.What would I tell my future self / childhood me?
I would tell my future self to just do it. Do whatever I had in mind at that moment. Time waits for no one. To the childhood me, enjoy your childhood. Enjoy the time you had with our family and always be grateful with them.
5. How is your life going?
Life is going according to plan, well sort of. I'm married to my long time partner and we have a son together, all happen before hitting 30. I became a Graphic Designer, which was a childhood dream of mine, but quit a year ago to focus on myself and my family. I always imagined of having a successful career but I guess my priority shift once I had my first born.

Allah, my family, and my health.

8. What do you want most in life?
To have financial freedom. Not worrying about paying bills, buying things that my family needs. It's not about being rich or wealthy. It's about having enough to make a living.

Probably pregnant with baby number #2. I think I'm ready to give my firstborn a sibling to play and grow up with. InshaAllah.
10. What is one important lesson I learned this week?
If you want to do it, just do it. I've been worrying a lot lately about what I want to do in life. Like blogging, I recently developed this courage to just write. It doesn't matter if it's perfect of not. If there's mistakes, you'll learned from it. What matters most is you've tried.
