"MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REST ON OUR LAURELS."
--
Pandemic has brought up a lot of things I need to heal through, and this is one of them: the idea of the "perpetual achievement". Sound familiar?
We glooorify it. What you did today is good, yeah - but what about what you'll do TOMORROW? You'd better be going higher, stronger, faster - never stop, don't you dare. Post the next ig picture. Generate tomorrow's tiktok content. Hope for likes. Touched the sky? Blow a hole through the atmosphere and torpedo straight on to the next burning star. The you from yesterday? We don't know her. We're better. Upgraded. V 2.0.
I've been living my life like this for years now, but the past 2 years have forced us all to BE slowed down and re-evaluate.
Don't get me wrong. Ambition & achievement are wonderful. (There are certainly many more things I want to achieve, and much coming up that I'm going to be sharing with you guys. Never stop dreaming.) But dreaming becomes a problem when it turns living into a nightmare, because you can't stop trying to put distance between yourself and yourself. Stop being the shadow you are continually trying to win. It's EXHAUSTING. Aren't you exhausted? I am.
So maybe the truth is this: that we were put on this earth to do ONE good thing with our lives. ONE properly good thing.
And maybe that's winning a great Waterloo style battle, or achieving a certain dream. Maybe it's finishing one great performance. One great thesis. A beautiful painting. An espresso magnum opus.
And then - we let that be enough. And we rest on our laurels. "Greatness" does not have to be continually proven. Likes are transient, clout & remembrance fade. Do what you do because you love it, and it is good, and it fulfils you. If when your day comes to an end you can say "I did this one thing to the best of my ability and it was good" - that is enough, hero. Be at peace. The bards will sing of that one deed. The song will be equally wonderful without infinite stanzas.
So rest on your laurels, goddesses. You've earned it.

I will always see my dad's eyes when he talked to me on everything about my future. I always saw in his both eyes that he wanted the best for my future with siblings too.
My dad will always give me advice and always teach me how to be better person on each day. I always talk to Allah too, when can I make him proud and having a big smile on his face.
He never tired of supporting me and always with me when i'm about to cry. I know i've had less..sometimes I make you feeling disappointed. But i'm so sorry for everything.
Abah, you will forever be "My Hero". Thats why i'm called you Iron Man because you fight on everything for me until done like Iron Man.
I'm so sorry for not giving a big surprise present for you. But i'm promise to you, I will make you proud of me and siblings. And we will give you a big surprise soon. But i need your doa too for my success career.
Ya Allah, Please give Abah the best healthy life. Ya Allah, please give me a chance to make my father proud of my success.
Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku, Engkau berikanlah kesihatan yang baik untuk abahku. Ya Allah, Engkau panjangkanlah usia insan yang aku sayang ini. Aku mohon padamu Ya Allah, Berikanlah aku kekuatan agar aku dapat terus membahagiakan kedua ibu bapaku. Sayang Abah dunia akhirat. aamiin
Happy Birthday Abah..Love you so much!

CADANGAN
Assalamualaikum WBT..
1. Bella cadangkan supaya pihak KKM tidak menutup ruangan komen.
2. Bella faham asbab KKM menutup ruang komen. Kerana ingin mengelakkan perbalahan seterusnya mencetuskan suasana panik dikalangan rakyat.
3. Tapi kini hampir 2 tahun kita dibelenggu oleh Virus COVID-19 ini. Something need to be done. Korang tak kesian ke dgn FRONTLINER? Tak mustahil satu hari nnt kita pun akan dimasukkan ke hospital kemudian doctor terpaksa membuat pilihan samada nak sembuhkan kita atau org lain. Yes that’s how bad the situation now.
4. Bella cadangkan kita gunakan ruangan komen di Facebook, Instagram & Twitter KKM ini kita jadikan sebagai ruang untuk kita sama2 bertukar pendapat & idea bagaimana kita nak mengekang wabak ini. Bukan ruang kita nak menyalahkan sesuatu pihak sahaja.
5. Jika masih ada yg komen negatif, kita jangan kecam dia, sebaliknya kita educate dia sambil bertanya “Apa masalah awk ek?” 🙄
6. Bella faham ramai yg terkesan, hilang kerja, kehilangan ahli keluarga, rindu nak balik kampung dsb. Sabar, InshaAllah semua ni akan berakhir.
7. The world is falling apart guys. Please don’t make it worse. Yg sudah membantu meringankan beban mangsa2 COVID-19 ni, tak kisahlah pihak kerajaan, NGO, perseorangan dsb, TAHNIAH Bella ucapkan! You are the truly HERO! Without a cape.
8. So now Bella nak ajak korang semua start bagi komen2 yg membina ok. Bagi cadangan yg bernas. Kalau kat tempat korang ada kilang & premis yg tak patuh SOP, korang tuliskan jugak kat ruangan komen tu. Kita bagi pihak yg berkenaan baca! Sekarang masa kita untuk bersatu hati. Xmo gaduh2 ok. Bella tau semua stressed. Trust me i do too 😔 Bila semua bekerjasama InshaAllah Bella yakin kita akan kembali hidup seperti biasa. Amin.
Love,
Nabila Razali

Nam Sang Wai is famous for its scenic wetland and the picturesque wedding pier. Located in Yuen Long, the best and most common way to get there is by cycling, although a hike or even a drive over is possible. If you are fast, you can get in and out plus photos in two hours, or it can be a leisurely half day cycling or full day hiking adventure. Here’s what you need to know about cycling/visiting Nam Sang Wai:
