  • And so I have a job.

    It feels surreal. I still can’t believe that I have a job and I have already been working for two weeks. Alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah SWT. I didn’t expect to get into working life this fast as I had planned to wait until my youngest is at least a year old in October. But…

  • Hello, love. An update.
