My Routine

Assalamualaikum...

            My health condition is not at its best at the moment. I'm currently having a full package of sickness that the fever comes along with the flu, cough and headache. It's been over a week yet they have not shown any signs of recovery. Sobbss.. Takpelah, seandainya sakit itu pengubat dosa. In syaa Allah.. The condition get worse since I'd been ignoring it. I should have had a rest and I wanted to but the situation just didn't allow me to do so. Abundance of things came passed by and I had a rough time just to keep everything in place.

 Now I admit that the second year is a lot hectic than it was during the first year especially during Monday when the lectures end up at 4 p.m and as soon after that I need to take my turn to cook for dinner. The next following day is a bit free and Wednesday is when I love the most because of the practicals themselves.

Anyway, life is not always easy. Friday is when I always have the same terrible feeling. Supposedly it has to be a day full of barakah and it actually is but the COCS (Clinical Optometry and Communication Skills) practical had always made my heart skipped a beat. *or two beats maybe? Having a thought of dealing with the supervisor alone could agitate my sleep. It is basically a practical that I'd done before during the first year but what makes it different this year is that we are going to be assessed by the supervisor throughout the routine and they will rate us whether competent or incompetent. Initially I was chasing for that competent level and how I always felt bad whenever I was not able to achieve so. But as time goes on, I've realized that the feeling of contentment is not only when I get competent but it could be as well when I've prepared enough and tried my best or the supervisor will at least gave a compliment even though they did not rate me that competent level. After all, it's not the result that you achieve, but it's what you learn throughout the process that matters, right?

I'm happy that my schedule is now packed. It means I will have less oversleep time (selalunye kan terlebih tido.hehe..) and less thought of unnecessary things and less shopping in which I usually do once a week but now since my house is a long way from the city, it has somehow lessen the desire to spend. Thank God for that!!

Till then, Assalamualaikum

Eid Mubarak 2013

Salam..

      How's your Eid everyone? hehe.. Mine was great. Alhamdullillah.. Being surrounded by beautiful friends and seniors made it feels like home. Excitingly we celebrated it twice, one was on Tuesday and the other one was during the weekend.

We've got a 3 hours lecture on Tuesday starting from 11.00 a.m, so there were plenty of time to perform our prayer at the mosque but unfortunately as soon as we arrived they had just finished. Sobss.. and we just sat there listening to the khutbah. It's every woman's problem I guess to consume many hours to get herself ready.. well occasionally maybe :D  *hari rayalah katakan..

Since it was our very first time wearing baju kurung to lectures, it's kinda compulsory to have some shots aite?? ngeh3...

Gadis-gadis bunga

We did skip one of the lectures on that day without the feeling of guilty since it's allowable. hehe.. That's the bonus of studying in Bradford where the Pakistani forms a major population in here.

Today's event was fun as well but since the laziness is empowering me at this moment so let the pictures do the talking!

The hungry faces

The people

Back to Reality

Salam...

        It has been two weeks since I left Malaysia which also means I'm now back to reality. The classmates had been asking me how was my summer break and they could imagine how excited I was to be able to get along with the family. Yes.. undeniably the well-spent time with the family was precious but that 3 months break was torturing me as well. Laying on bed at all times until I reached to a point where I could stare at the ceiling for 2 consecutive hours. How would that be?

So when the time to leave Malaysia was approaching, I had been experiencing mixed feelings. Part of me felt miserable to leave my homeland (even pergi KL pun rasa sedih nak tinggal parents ) and the other part felt eager to start a new productive life abroad. heheh.. even though we had been given an earlier caution that the second year is going to be a lot busier than before, still to get right back on the track is a relief.  

In celebrating our homecoming, we had a dinner at Lahore as well as celebrating the Septemberians, both birthday girl and the belated ones *nak jugak...We had also moved in to our new house which I think a lot comfy and safer even though it takes a longer time to reach the uni. In short, all is well for now. I'm happy to be back.

Just a couple of days before the class started, I'd got a problem with my state of health. It was something I'd never experienced and the pain was killing me regardless of the pain killers I'd taken. Happened to be, the process of seeing a doctor was a bit complicated since I wasn't sure who my GP is and it is the policy in the UK that you need to be registered under your own clinic before you get the treatment. It's totally different to Malaysia where you can just walk in to any clinics or hospitals you want providing your pocket or wallet is full :D 

The other excitement to be back is to meet a junior of our naqibah, the cute little Suhail.. The babysitters were delighted to look for a new winter outfit for Suhail. Sebenarnya x sabar nak jadi mak sebab baju baby semua comel2. huhu..

Till then, Assalamualaikum..

Pain. No matter how deep it is, no matter how long it takes, it will eventually end. Just give the heart some times and everything will be just fine. The same goes to happiness. They both eventually end too. 

So the question is, how do we adapt with these different phase of life as they will just alternate randomly. As for me, I keep reminding myself to be moderate, to always stay in the middle.This is like standing on a safe side in which whenever life offers you either happiness or pain, you are hardly being too immersed with the situation you are currently in. As so you will be easily letting it go whenever the time comes. 

To my dismay, I've grown up to be someone who do not much care of things happening around me which has much less affected me in making decisions. Not that I didn't care at all but sometimes... I feel like why do I have to constantly think of the same things when everything is going to end fairly soon. You've got to live your life no matter what happens. I never know what the future brings and so I have nonchalantly made some decisions in life. Little that I know this so called 'pegangan' of mine eventually made me regret. Yes..I have to slowly admit that I've been regretting this one thing I made. Uhh..

Okay sebelum makin banyak merapu baik tido. Bye

Venice At Its Best!!

Salam...

          It's a great relief to finally arrive in Malaysia after a tedious journey from London. Travelling around London with a 30kg carriage each was not a good idea I shall say. London is way too crowded with its people are always in a state of rush. And for the beginner in London like us we had to make sure to not standing in the middle of the people while looking for the directions to avoid from blocking their ways (that's what we always did..mihmih..). A week before strolling around in London, we already had an amazing trip to Venice. So, I didn't really feel the sense of excitement to be in London when I was the one who urged my housemates to stay there for several days before getting back to Malaysia =_=

Initially, we didn't plan to go outside the UK this year but since the flight ticket to Venice was just only 30 pound, how could we resist it? hihi.. Those 4 days duration there was satisfying enough with lots of pictures taken for sure :D

Day 1 

We set up early in the morning and took a taxi to the Leeds Bradford Airport and reached Treviso Airport at about 11a.m. As soon as we landed, everybody started complaining, "oh panasnyaaaa..." haha... but still we could put our jackets on. From the airport, we took a bus to Venice and settled down at our own accommodations before gathering again to begin our first day. *sorry I can't mention what is each place called. Not only that I forgot but the name itself is hard to memorize. ngeeee..

Awal-awal sampai wajiblah semua tercengang-cengang

Some were busy looking for directions

We did plan on trying the gondola ride but since it was too expensive, we took the water bus instead and it was fun as well. The local people were laughing to see us being so excited..haha..

We spent our third day until midnight just to experience the night scenery. Well, those who came for honeymoon would love it since there were abundance of orchestra performances during the night. And I love it too!!

Day 4

It's time to say goodbye to Venice.. I really had a wonderful time there with my fellow friends. Hope to be there again in the future. *okay ayat karangan zaman sekolah dulu. hikhok..

Hanun's 20th Birthday

Salam..

       This is a last month story in which I had to put it off for a while due to the 'busyness' for the preparation of the final exam. *konon la busy hewhew

the ex-birthday girl

Regardless of her childishness, Hanun is actually the second eldest among us but it seems like our sense of maturity overwhelm that of hers. But that's fine.. at least we do have someone that cheers the situation whenever it is too tense, cook for us on each Tuesday, managing the monthly expenses of the whole house, dealing with the house's agent for any troubles and most importantly, someone that completes the five of us. Eh eh..lebih-lebih pulak dah puji =_=

So this time we decided to make something different and came out with the idea for an outdoor's celebration at Lister Park. Me, Akmal and Syimir went a bit early to set up the place but unfortunately after we have done with the preparation, the rain poured down. We were thinking of cancelling the plan but..

luckily the weather turned back to normal..yeay!!

Well it was just for a few minutes before a slight rain poured again. =_= Anyway we did have a lot of fun gathering, eating and snapping pictures!!

Going back home..

These past few days had been a bit hectic since we planned to move out from our house. Surveying several properties looking for the most affordable yet safer and comfortable was really tedious. Luckily we managed to find one and the problem with the current agent had also been solved. He kept persuading us to stay but when thinking of our own safety, we had better moved out.

But there's this one problem which has not yet been solved. It's not yet the end of the month but my expenses has really gone beyond the limit!! Haha.. Paying deposit for the new house, spending a lot of them at the designer outlet (since I'm going back to Malaysia, a gift for the relatives is a must) and paying the flight ticket for next month's vacation. Hmmm

Let's just forget it for a moment because.. June is going to be awesome with full of vacations and right after that, Malaysia is waiting. Yeay!!

Till then, Assalamualaikum..

L.O.V.E

Salam..

Cukup cintai dia dalam diam

Bukan kerana membenci dirinya

Tetapi menjaga kesuciannya

Cukup cintainya dari kejauhan

Kerana hadirmu takkan mampu menjauhkannya dari ujian

Cukup cintainya dengan kesederhanaan

Memupuknya hanya akan menambahkan penderitaan

Sekiranya di pengakhiran dia bukan milikmu

Maka cintailah dia dengan keikhlasan

Seperti kisah cinta suci saidatina Fatimah dan saidina Ali

Yang pada mulanya diingini oleh hati

Namun akhirnya Allah pertemukan jua

Cinta itu suci namun janganlah kita manusia mengotori cinta itu dengan nafsu semata-mata. Tekan butang pause di minda dan tanya hati, 'adakah aku sedang mengikut panduan wahyu atau panduan nafsu?'. Simpanlah cintamu untuk yg halal. Cinta adalah fitrah yg perlu dikawal oleh hati, raja bagi segala kerajaan setiap individu muslim. Jika cinta Allah yg kita letakkan sebagai prioriti, urusan cinta sesama manusia akan menjadi mudah kerana kita mencintai, menyayangi dan berbuat baik kepada manusia adalah semata-mata utk mendapatkan cinta Khalik, Pencipta manusia. Biarlah kita segagah Yusuf, seinsaf Zulaikha. Mana mungkin cinta suci bergaul dengan cinta penuh noda.
