First Week of Easter

Salam..

     The first week of Easter has been so exciting yet terrifying *don't get me wrong. It's actually a wonderful terrifying experience. tehee. Since the snow had stop falling although some still remain on the ground, we decided to proceed with our outing. And so we had a lunch at nando's before hitting the bowling center in the afternoon. Just an ordinary activity but at least it did bring the boredom away without having anything particular to do.

When Monday came, we went to Alton Towers, the day that I've been waiting for. It's similar to Genting Highland but I bet this one is more extreme. Our train to Uttoxeter was at 6.30 a.m and I woke up at 3.30 a.m, performed my prayer and made a fried rice in case of hunger. 

There were two interchanges we had to make before arriving at Uttoxeter station. Happened to be, Kak Mirah (my senior) was a bit late and we had to wait for the next train to Leeds and it dragged the schedule afterwards. But at last, we managed to arrive at Alton Towers even though it was an hour late than the exact plan.

The theme park was not too crowded from what I thought it would be. Anyway it's a good sign since we didn't have to queue too long for our turn to get onto the rides. Unfortunately, most of the rides were closed due to the snow the day before. Pathetic..

That was before we entered The Sanctuary, a haunted hospital. I swear you it was so scary that Akmal only made it half way. The ghosts appeared in every corner and they kept screaming and poking us.

The most scariest part was when we entered a room full of chemicals and there was a psychopath holding a saw and he kept drawing his face towards us. He then went to a lady who was lying on a bed, took out a baby from her tummy and brought the dead baby near us. Seriously, I was about giving up. Huhu..

This was the first ride we had a go at which left us hanging upside down. Thanks God I didn't throw up. Whilst on the ride, I kept thinking, what if the grip slipped off and I fell down like what happened in Final Destination. But the other part of me kept urging to have a try. Otherwise the 30 pound fare would be a waste, right?

Apart from these thriller rides, there were several other attractions in which I would consider suitable for the cowards like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ice Age, Marauder's Mayhem and so on.

I was aiming for the roller coaster and to my dismay, all of them were not operating. Anyhow, at about 5.00 p.m, when the theme park was nearly closed, they announced that one of the roller coaster was available after they've cleared the snow. Dapat la jugak merasa even for just a ride. Overall rating I could give is 4 stars since we didn't have a chance to try the most thriller ride due to the snow. And the weather was also killing. It was rather unsatisfactory for it didn't worth the fare. So, pay a second visit maybe? hehe..

That's all for now. Till then, Assalamualaikum

It's Easter Break!!

Salam..

 I think we are already in the spring season but what happens at the moment is the snow keeps falling for two consecutive days. It is even heavier than during the winter. How come?? I'm starting to unlike the snow despite of its cotton-candy look   =_=

      Since we have two weeks break, staying at home without doing nothing is a waste. See..what has the snow done. Our girls-time-out plan is cut off and to be in bed is the only option. *si pemalas memang macam ni

how thick it is

The weather is somehow making me feel gloomy. My windows are all covered with the snow and I could feel the need of sunlight in which I would try my hardest to get rid of it when in Malaysia. Huhu..

Monday..do come faster! As I'll be away from Bradford. It gets me annoyed being stuck in here.

Till then, Assalamualaikum

Eliminating Jahiliyyah

Salam..

        This week has been a bit hectic with a fully-packed schedule during the day and early bedtime at night. One thing I did realize is my disordered sleeping pattern. I could fall asleep as early at 9pm and and wake up just before the Fajr (Subuh) prayer starts. This is where the psychological role takes part to see the clock pointing at 4am, it feels too early to get up that I keep staying on the bed until 6am. In total, I'd been sleeping for 9 hours long. Ohmmyyy...

         But now since Fajr in Bradford starts at 4.30 am and lasts all the way until 6.30 *yess..the sun rises at 6.30am. It feels sooo weird, I have no options other than waiting for the prayer time and manage to stay awake. At least takde la rasa bersalah sangat sebab tido lama2.

         Last Wednesday, me and my housemates took part in an event called One World Week. It was organized for the international students to entertain and celebrate all of the different cultures on campus. We, the Malaysian students, opened up a booth that held some of the Malaysian traditions and food. It was so exciting when the people of different countries kept complimenting our food. In short, the event went smoothly and we did have a lot of fun.

        Regardless of the exhausting day, we still managed to conduct an usrah at night and the topic we discussed was something to ponder which is....

ELIMINATING JAHILIYYAH

           I'm pretty sure most of us are striving to be a better person, whether physically or internally. In other words, struggling to eliminate the jahiliyyah inside us. Sometimes we do realize of the bad things we committed but little that we tried to avoid them. I'm not referring to anyone because this is more to what I'm currently experiencing. I have a lot of things that I'm lacking of, things that I have to make a change, but there's like a devil inside me which insists me to stay the way I am. Of course, as a human, we are not perfect, but how much effort have we put to amend things?

          Up until now, I feel so blessed of how Allah arranged my pattern of life. He'd been putting me in a safe side. I am surrounded by several people who had much less contributed to who I am today. Alhamdulillah..

That's all for now. Till then, Asslamualaikum.. :)
