Anggun pointed to a framed picture on the wall and happily exclaimed, "No-nel!" (translation: McDonald's)
I looked the direction she was pointing in. And realized it was actually the Almighty's name, Allah.
On one hand, I am impressed by the cognitive skills she displayed, being able to recognize the curvy M shape, even when it is upside down. On the other hand, I feel like I might have failed as a Muslim parent. God forgive me.

Boss, I Quit My Job!
So I have tendered my resignation. The 3-month probation period has started and a week in, it already feels like it's winding down a long, polarizing road.
One minute I'll be like so composed and sure of this decision, like I can see the light and the rainbow at the end of the tunnel, the elf with the pots of gold waving frantically at me, and the next I'll be like 'shit, what had I done?! Can I take back my letter, I want to plead insanity at the time I sent it in, pleaseeee let me retract it!'
And when employee submits in his resignation letter, my company seems to adopt this policy: This too shall pass. They will act like nothing happened! No acknowledgement e-mail, talk or letter until two weeks before the last day. So it feels like I am walking around with a giant pink elephant on ym back that everyone can see but just chooses to ignore. Awkward much.
When the HOD of another department asked me about this one day in the presence of everyone else, I was like "THANK GOD YOU ASKED!". There, there.
Scared as hell right now, but I know I need to do this. Maybe it's good to push myself out of the comfort zone, so that I will not be living in retention, so that I will hustle more. I pray to God that this will work out for the best - I am forever thankful though for a very supportive mother and husband. Ok I'm gonna go cry now.
