After years of hiatus..

Assalamu'alaikum wbt,

So.. I decided to write again. Although it somehow feels a bit surreal to be back to this space. SubhanAllah.. Who would have thought this old self of mine is still sane enough to keep this long-abandoned blog alive again. I miss writing though. I don't know what really brought me to this but I guess there could be something that is there to fill the 'void' I have in here.

My iluvislam blog has been terminated by God-knows-who. It was devastated to figure out that the blog is no longer there. So many cherish-able thoughts and writings that was very very close to my soul now buried in an unknown space. I've tried so many things to retrieve my old writings in there but to no avail. Ada laa hikmahnya tu kot.. And at last, here I am, in the middle of the night, not being able to sleep, trying to familiarise myself with this thing, updating my 'first' entry ever after a VERY VERY loooongg break.

I feel like I have got SO many things to write but yet, I don't know where to start. Doing this actually brought me back to so many previous memories, be it good or bad. Somehow I feel a little bit mixed inside, unsure of how to steer my mind and heart to set the 'momentum' of this blog. My intention is only one: to get back to writing so that I could share the goodness that I received from my current life with other people, for the sake of Allah of course, insyaAllah.

And oh yes, I am now in my maternity leave for probably-one-year so yea, I basically have not-so-many things to do at home (as if! How I wish.. Huhu). May Allah guide my intention right and may people get as much benefit from this blog as possible, insyaAllah.

"I tell you to keep going, not because it’s easy. Not because it doesn’t hurt. I tell you to keep going because there’s no other way. To stop is to die. Life is in motion. In growth. In change. Life is in seeking and in finding. Life is in redemption. Each moment is a new birth. A new chance to come back, to get it right. A new chance to make it better." -YM
Just one thing though: the new 'deynarashid' is now hopefully more matured in writing than the old one eheh. So, whatever you read in this blog prior to this entry, may not reflect the true character of my current self. Haha. Nonetheless, I really do appreciate constructive criticism and reminders, so, please do correct me if I'm wrong, insyaAllah :-)

May Allah bless.
