Girls Bonding Days

2014 brought with it significant bonding with my girlfriends – old and new.  My acquaintances become my close friends and I also made many new friends that are singles.

I made new friends at my apartment.  I have two new friends from my apartment and both of them are single.  One is a single mother like me and the other one has never been married.  Both ladies are very independent and powerful ladies.  One is an Entrepreneur and the other one is a Project Manager.  I now have companions to hang out at night with and we do morning walks together if time permits.  Of course, all three of us are also busy so time to hang-out together is really rare.  But at least we know where each other are and we can be of assistance to each other when needed.  I really want to ask them to go out to midnight movies one of these days.  Hope that opportunity will come soon.

My colleagues at the office who were once just acquaintances are not my close friends.  Although 3 of them are contractors and their contracts may not be renewed – for now we are having lots of fun.  Lunch time is the time we always look forward to.  We even have budget that we should not spend more than RM30 per day.  We explore new eating places, take turns to drive and share a lot of interesting stories together – from male/husband stories, cooking, baking, children, sightseeing, shopping, activities, etc.  One of my colleagues is also a single mom and both of us will go dinner or movies together when both of us have the time especially if we have to stay back at the office.

Did I tell you that I am the Social Committee President at the office? Well, with this added responsibility, I have to go to many meetings and have to meet-up my colleagues – both boys and girls frequently.  Many a time, we had to have meetings outside office hours as we are busy doing our office work during the day.  These meetings keep me busy and very entertained with the fun activities we are coordinating.

I still go for my Quran lessons.  I have my girlfriends at my Quran classes and we meet up every week and mingle with dinner together at times.  I definitely do jamaah prayers at least once a week – isn’t that a plus apart from reciting Al-Quran.

For now, I am quite happy to have my girlfriends with me and I hope our friendship will last forever.  I hope you single mom out there also have your Girls Bonding Days that keeps you happy and smiling all day long.

Till next time.  Have many awesome days ahead and keep smiling for that added tinge of happiness.  May Allah bless us in our daily activities and may Allah always keep us away from harm and sadness.
