~ life ~

26th October 2009

exactly a month after leaving malaysia. a lot of things came to my mind, everything rushed into me, begging to be remembered. i've missed my family, my friends, the food, the environment and everything about home. and still i didn't cry yet. couldn't put myself into it.

in a month, i've learned a lot about life, learned about living by myself and learned about living among strangers so far away from home. i've learned how to adapt to the new life, the weather, the people and my study. it proved to be quite a challenge, but i manage to get through. yes, i did. and so thats how life, its never stop moving until its time to be stopped by Him.

everyone asked me how was study, how's life here. it's great! and i'm not lying or trying to cover things up. i enjoy myself here. i've learned few shortcuts to my campus since my house is in the city centre, which i have to walk everyday to class. tiring but a good exercise! (since its hard to sweat here) i am lucky to lived in the city, easy for me to find food and shopping! haha..

last friday i went to London, just to have a look around that place.

thames river, this is where harry potter flew in the film!

The food are good. You can easily find Halal food anywhere, Subway, KFC (since i already miss it) and even Malaysian food. I really enjoy myself, eating! It's still like a dream to me to come to this place and see everything that had been all in pictures or TV before, in front of my eyes. I felt like i'm in a dream-like state, not knowing when this all going to end. This is real Aina, wake up! 

Well, i did felt myself contemplating over the decision i made about coming here the first few days. I kept asking myself whether i made the right decision. later, i accepted whatever have been set for me and embraced it gratefully. (i felt like i'm blabbering right now, aren't i?)

time fly quickly here, now the day become shorter and night is longer. maghrib is at 1650 and i have 1 class at 1700. imagine walking back from class in the dark when its only 1800! i'm still getting used to it. And so the day become colder as the winter become nearer. yes, its almost rain everyday. the road is slippery and i really need a boot to survive the journey up and down the hill to class! (sigh!)

Good luck to all my friends sitting for their finals, i'll pray for your success!

ai-na : oops, lots of homework undone! got to go..

~ happy graduation! ~

hope i'm not too late to wish happy graduation to my friends who are graduating last monday. i'm sad because i couldnt join you all there but i'm happy for you. 

after all we've been through, the hardship, the struggle, the stress, the failure, the achievement for the 2 years, i'm glad we managed to pull through. so now look foward!

so this is for you guys! haha, share ok. 

good luck in your coming final, do the best. not all the things you want will come in silver platter, you have to work hard to earn it. pray for me!

Yazid, this one for you since you didnt receive any.

ai-na : cold and damp.

~ creeping inside ~

the changes in the air
polluting the mind
pain clouding the consciousness
darkness overwhelm the light
in the point of no return

warmth seeping through
evoked new life
rekindle old, long forgotten passion
when mind no longer in control

your path is lead by Him

~ journey away from home ~

its cold! thats what came across my mind when we reached heathrow. yes, alhamdulillah i've reached UK and all went well. well, i did cried at the airport! haha! naz, i couldnt stand to be strong enough not to cry! after almost 13 hours of flight, doing nothing except sleeping, eating and watching incomplete movies (cause its stupid!) walking around the arriving terminal in heathrow was a bliss! then we start our journey to exeter by coach for another 4 hours of sleeping! well, not all 4 hours spent on sleep. there's lot to see along the highway. so please bear with me guys for i'd enjoyed the moment. haha! ok, in malaysia we can see plain trees along the highway but here there's apple trees! ripe, red apple! so cool! since i never see an apple tree before, i'm excited.

everything is nice and beautiful here. i loved it here but i miss home! missed the heat, missed the meal and most of all missed my family and friends.

so my first week are packed with school registration, school's activity for freshers, sightseeing, tour and shopping! everything here are cheap and affordable (dont convert!). i met few malaysians as well, made new friends and we became a pack in an instant!

that's our first week in exeter, tiring but exciting and enjoyable. so, class start tomorrow at 2. i have lots of free time, yeay! use it well, i know!

pray for me and dont forget me!

ai-na : naz, whatever happen look at the bright side k!
