Autumn(s)

Whitworth Park, October 2016 University of Manchester - Simon Building, October 2016 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. (I don't know why it is so hard for me to be committed to write on this blog. It's either because I'm a big bad procrastinator or simply lazy to write. Or I might be on a writer's block. Yeah, maybe that too.) When it is time to start uni, the most anticipated thing is the joy of seeing those yellow and orange leaves literally every where. Though the temperature will start dropping rapidly, the view is just nice that you can still spend your afternoon sitting at the park doing nothing. Just to make friends with these dying trees. Like how my dear friend described on her Instagram, they are undergoing a "beautiful death" (Mohd Fadzli, 2016). The coldness is sometimes unbearable that you wouldn't want to come out of the duvet. It'll be your best friend during autumn and winter every year. Seriously. That's the (petty) ...

Peace in A Land of Far Far Away

Mount Aspiring, New Zealand -September 2016 Both of the owner of these two pairs of legs miss this place so much. And at the time, that man with the bigger feet was forced to feature those grey shoes in the photo. But he still loves me anyway. Because I'm his sister. This time around, I am missing him. This place too. Always

New Year Post in 1438H

Having this feeling you thought you could never enjoy. After a year of feeling that you're alone, now that your life is full again, ain't that a gift? A gift from God who wants you to enjoy every bit of your time before the death arrives. Live good, will you? Make the most out of the blessings you receive and spread the love you want others to have. You can't expect to always feel grand (because this might just be because of latté you're drinking yknow?), you'll surely stumble. But just know that Allah is there to lift you up again. Biiznillah! Do this all for Him :)

Ahlan Wa Sahlan Second Year!

A big 'welcome' sign at Taman MMU, 18 September 2016 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. It has never occured to me that the three-month break would go by so fast and I'll be coming back to this country with a happy feeling I seldom felt before. Alhamdulillah for this new spirit! Summer has been wonderful but I wish I could do more for my family. To spend more time with them, to cook for them (though I know my cooking skill is not so impressive mehhh), to be such a good kakak and daughter.  We always feel that we didn't do well enough to have that real sense of satisfaction, don't we? And when we are at one place we'll be one individual and some other times we'll suddenly be another stranger who are totally different than the real self. Is this considered a personality disorder too? I hope not. Because I'd like to start anew. To learn from the mistakes I used to make so that I'll be able to cherish my present for a brighter future. ...

Pre-Ramadhan

So that you can recall; Ramadhan 1437H in the UK was during summer 2016. So that you will remember there was one time that you witnessed the sky starting to get brighter at 4 in the morning. So that you know when one part of the globe is shrouded in darkness, its other side has only just begun to grow stronger. May He allow us to enjoy Ramadhan this year with barakah and rahmah. May He keep us grounded even when Ramadhan has left. [Deramore Street, Manchester] [June 5th, 2016 - 29 Shaaban 1437H]

The State of Being Ready

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. * I am beyond glad seeing a super senior getting married to somebody whom I know personally. Though it is indeed surreal, I really can't fake my happiness. Looking at their wedding photos, both of them grinning at the camera, holding each other's hands~ They look sooo cute together! Alhamdulillah that they are united by Allah and I pray that their marriage will last forever, insyaAllah till jannah, for real :) aminnn (of course, this prayer is for my dear friend who got married last year too hihi) * I always like to discuss about the matter of marriage. (It might be because I accidentally bought the book 'Pemilik Cintaku Setelah Allah dan Rasul' when I was 14 haha. Maybe!) The idea of devoting a huge part of your life to a stranger and sharing (almost) everything with that somebody is just unimaginable. Not THAT unimaginable since we are fed with countless romance series on TV showing the lives of married couples - mostly based...
