A Blessing in Disguise

HEY. It's been a while I didn't blog. Um where do I start now? Perhaps a quick wrap up of my life, right? In 2017, I graduated in BSc Maritime Technology from UPNM. Landed a job in Singapore even before my graduation. Left my job soon after. Dad was terribly ill and I was depressed. I decided to go to Raja Ampat with a friend and worked for a couple of weeks there. Saw a Manta Ray, celebrated New Year 2018, went too far with my The Alchemist, had an awful bloody show and got myself admitted to Waisai Hospital. Went home and got busy prepping with my engagement and wedding. 2018 was just about organising stuff. Hopped to Alunan Resort Perhentian Island for a couple of weeks as well, for work. It was pretty much a dream. I had good times and sunshine every day. Loved it but had to leave the job as well coz my dad was not okay. And so I went home, got myself in trouble with some sort of backpain and got it fixed right before my wedding. 121018 I GOT MARRIED. And I left home for Kota Kinabalu. Wow.

Fast forward 3 months later, I got pregnant. And it's a BOY. He's 1 year old and 6 months now. His name is Kai Yusuf and I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART. 260919 he came and we instantly became parents. In between those pretty months, I got threatened miscarriage and was asked to bedrest for two weeks. Damn depressing. 2020, we got to travel a lot around Sabah and then, Coronavirus-2019 came. It crashed our dreams but not as bad as those who are struggling pay check to pay check. And realising that the pandemic was hitting THAT bad, I started my donation drive #KITAJAGAKITA. So proud to be earning over RM20k and distributed them to those in need.

121220 I lost my dad. And suddenly, it's already today 050421. Time flies. You really should be making the most out of today. Whoever you are, know that you're worth it and you deserve all the happiness in the world. Thank you for reading. :)

Hyperventilation

Hello there readers, I'm aware that my blog title says "Plotting Maps With Nel" but allow me to share my off-travel experience which I really think it's necessary for all of us. Last Monday, as I was updating my post on Kota Kinabalu, I had a very bad shortness of breath. It's a serious thing, I kid you not. I couldn't breathe well. I started to struggle for air and my hands and legs were cold. It was insane! I was starting to think that it was the end of my life somehow. I mean, how can I stay alive when I can't even breathe? I called my colleague to take me to the nearest clinic. I was really panic and I'm sure I was looking even paler than zombies. Thank you Kak Erni for taking me to Klinik Mediviron, Menara UOA for my urgent treatment. The doctor gave me a paper bag and let me breathe in it. The reason is that whenever you get hyperventilate, you tend to breathe in shorter breath causing your lungs to pump in more oxygen than you need. This breat...

Pulau Weh, Indonesia

Welcoming the sunshine. Spectacular view from my room during the day. Lazy tree almost kissing the ocean. Great experience diving at Underwater Volcano dive site. Marlies - the true Ocean's Daughter. She's from Germany. Crystal clear water of Pulau Rubiah. Diving in North Rubiah. The best place to enjoy your tea time though. Km Nol, where the land of Indonesia ends. One of the best sunset in the world is here, Km Nol. Somewhere close to Pulau Rubiah. Just look at how the nemos pose! Not a good ethic to practice but this starfish looks so lovely I want to hold it in my hands! Diving with Scuba Weh. They are so warm, you'll feel like home. Pulau Rubiah from the back. Crystal clear water! You can opt for snorkelling if you're a non diver.

Greetings from Oceanel

Assalamualaikum wbt and good day readers, I really thought I should start writing a blog tho since I have so many things in my mind. Well, the thing is that I don't really open up to everyone so I was kinda thinking that expressing out my thoughts to strangers would be a better option. I'm currently on my internship period and I'm af bored that I'm soo done with YouTube and all. So, here I am. With you. Through this blog. May you find something in between these lines that'll inspire you to go somewhere and discover your own self. Love, Oceanel.
