| 2017 ⇨ 2018 |

The devil whispered in my ear,

"You're not strong enough to withstand the storm."

But I whispered in the devils ear,

"I AM THE STORM."

.

As I lay down in bed with the #kbrothers, I took a look back in my mind on what had happen in 2017 since 1st January itself.

The year started off with me keeping #lilprecious a secret in my tum-tum from everyone including his 'father' as well as kick started The Wedding by NAWF very first Baby Shower setup and dais.

After which, enquiries were super slow and clients were skeptical with my work and the promos were given a miss. But I still had faith and kept doing promos after promos.

I left my Full-Time job finally just before Chinese New Year and shut down B'Zyne Engineering to focus solely on The Wedding by NAWF which eventually picked up its pace in February.

Came the 2nd quarter of 2017, everything got into a mess! Quarrels were like an everyday thing and #lilprecious was eventually revealed. Everyone started to shun me out, but I still continued life as per normal.

Got warded twice due to lack of rest during my first trimester and #lilprecious was not taking it well. End of April, everything I wanted crashes down.

Coming to 3rd quarter of 2017, I picked up where I've left off and got moving - The Wedding by NAWF started running back once again while #lilprecious started growing like nobody's business. People started questioning and I answered, receiving the gossip which I've learnt to not give a damn about.

Not many knew about #lilprecious unless I told them about him or they saw and asked.

Lol.

Before he arrived, many have asked me to give up on him or let him go - which I have never thought of since I did the pregnancy kit thrice, I've never once decided to let him go.

The moment he arrived, everyone was congratulating me (which I was emotional but kept it in me, 😅😅😅 I am that strong already lah okay!), everyone wants to look after him, everyone wants him, everyone said he's a charm (Thank you I believe.)

Fast forward 12 months after I knew about #lilprecious, I am now moving on to the next phase of life, hopefully no more 'pests' after this please! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Following along, The Wedding by NAWF is already fully booked up till March - ALHAMDULILLAH!

I know many have asked how I manage and what keeps me moving forward - MY FOUR LITTLE MONSTERS definitely! They're the reason I am where I am. They're my most precious gift and rezeki ever.

My boys have thought me so much in life, they're my backbone, my strength, my wealth, my health, my happiness, my goals, my true love and my everything - My very own Mini Me!

Despite all that has happen, Allah's plan have never been wrong!

After clearing all the debts (thanks to that someone), I receive great news after news; feeling blessed at the same time - few loads off from this tired shoulder (how not when you gotta babywear a toddler and infant at the same time, hahaha - Ergobaby, have any gift for me or not?) 🙊🙊🙊 Kidding.

My resolution for 2018?

Work harder and keep moving forward with my little monsters!

Definitely need all the sleep I could ever get too please!

Strong women aren't simply born. We are forced through the challenges of life.

With each challenge, we grow mentally and emotionally. We move forward with our head held high and a strength that can not be denied.

A woman who's been through the storm and survived,

We are warriors!

Loving everyone always,
