Coincidentally, I am writing this on my birthday. So where was I ten years ago?
That will be the year 2011. I just turned 27 and my husband will turn 31 in 2 days' time. We are newly married and will be celebrating our birthday together for the rest of our lives, Insha Allah.
We just came back from our honeymoon in Bali. I remember that was the first time that my husband travel free and easy style. Usually he will join a tour group to go to any country. That was the trend then. How times change.
Once we reached the airport in Bali, we went to a section filled with brochures of Bali's beautiful sights and interesting activities. During that time, there were limited information on the internet about what we can do in Bali. It is very different from now where you can google for info very easily and the maps are accurate.
(Took this while watching the sunset at Tanah Lot)
We spend some time collecting brochures before heading to our villa. It was this moment that sets the tone for our future travel adventures together. And till today, my husband is one of my favourite travel partners, if not the best!
Career wise, I was working at a well known engineering company. The work was so-so. But the friends I made there are now pillars of my strength. It was in 2011 as well that we travel together to Langkawi, all 10 of us. It was a beautiful, stress free trip. None of us fought. And everything just went with the flow. The laughs, the craziness and the food. Love all of them.
(This was at the Cable Car in Langkawi. It is no longer there. They revamp the place.)
I left the company 2 years later. One of the toughest decision I made but it was the best. It was time. The friends... they are still mine.
All in all, 10 years ago was pretty iconic for me. My husband and I wanted to go back to Bali this year to celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary. Oh well, hopefully soon.
