Thirty Eight

Took a day off on my recent birthday. After the first school run, I video-called my Dad since he was away. Thanked him for having me, for raising me, and for being there up until today, thank you Ba. Then it was the second school run before fetching Mama for some quality time. Breakfast was lontong and cokodok hitam at The Kopitiam, followed by a canvas painting class. Lunch was croissants, cinnamon rolls, and pesto pizza (though I wished my sister was there with us too). Sempat juga packed up some of Ilyas' outgrown clothes to pass down to our family's upcoming little one. School pickups with my better half and ended the day with a memorable dinner together with the kiddos (terima kasih Sayang). And it's a wrap! I spent my birthday doing the simple things I love, with the people I love. Cukuplah.

Menuju 40 ni, above all else, I pray for good health for everyone. Iyalahhh money is for sooo many things. But good health is the highest form of rizq, say no more. Syukur masih dikurniakan rezeki suami yang masih mampu keluar bekerja, rezeki mak ayah yang masih sihat ke sana ke sini, adik-beradik dan ipar-duai yang semuanya dalam keadaan baik, dan anak-anak yang membesar dengan sihat (minus the demam selsema tu, biasalahhh). Alhamdulillah.

Semoga ada rezeki lagi to have my birthdays alongside my loved ones, InshaAllah Amin.

Love, Kin

Ilyas Is One
