May '14 Life Update

Hi :)

Been a while since a real life update here. Alhamdulillah, I've been accepted and registered to a nearby University to my home-to-be and current workplace in their MBA program. I'm a part-time student during (some) weeknights and Saturdays. I get Saturdays off from work without affecting my AL, yayy! So I have to travel about for 30 minutes to school from the house that I'm renting now and it'll be almost to an hour from where I'll be living soon.

Work is under control, not as exhausting as last year. I can honestly say I can adapt here, it finally feels... effortlessly mine. Yup, in a good way. Hoping to do more and learn more. There's so much more that I still don't know. Apart from the actual technical work, I learned a lot on how to deal with people. And how to control my feelings, anger mostly.

I am blessed, with every achievement and givings. I'm in debt with the loveliest people in a way that I cannot repay. But I do keep in mind that life is an inevitable karma. "Have you ever felt so happy, then a second later you're scared because you bad things might happen right after?" - Abby. Yes, B-love, I feel you.

And another thing. Please pray for the wedding to go smoothly and marriage to last. I have never felt this way. Thank you, readers.

P/s: This is probably the only written diary I have for keepsake. I destroyed my hard copy diary during my dramatic (only in my head) teen years when I thought that I hated life. Heheheh.

Lets re-visit this http://syueee.blogspot.com/2014/02/investment-of-trust.html

A baby of mine

It's actually the Team's baby. RWNA's Welding Habitat (W3P Enclosure System) at Seligi A.

Alhamdulillah :)

Phineas

Yes, I'm the King of the world.

Little joys

Just some things that I miss. The little joy that sticks forever, iA.

I will turn life around, I will sort it out.

Tiny

That is me and Tok Wan. Arwah Tok Wan is my grandma's grandma. My sister sent me this picture a few days ago. I was so tiny just like any other babies. It's weird looking at your baby-self when graduation and job applications is just around the corner.

Now this is vintage ★

Rant about home

After almost 26 hours of flight, I'm finally home. The journey became unbearable after the first 12 hours. It was crowded and the sound of a baby's cry annoyed me. I was cranky mostly because of hunger. No matter what they serve on the plane, I didn't think I can bring myself to finish them, I just had no appetite. But all this I will endure with the thought of going home.

I met Azam, one of my coolest friend ever, at Doha an turns out we were going on the same flight home yay! The last flight felt like a drag omg! I literally cried a little after touchdown :')

Home? Home is always this familiar and safe place where my family is around me. After a bunch of hugs and kisses and bag raiding, I took a long shower, ate lunch and slept.

I love my family. I'm so blessed for having them. My mum took an MC just to pick me up from the airport. It's been 18 months and I totally understand. Dad kissed me on my cheeks for so long it made me almost cried all over again. I missed everyone, my brothers, my sisters. My living room hasn't changed much except for the new curtain and wallpaper. I feel like my room is shrinking for some reason. Maybe it's the light or maybe cos I was used to my big room in Spartan Village. But it's okay :)

I must say, it feels like something's missing. Soon, everything will be complete.

Yes, Zaid is way taller now.

Day Off

Today I'm taking a day off.

YES, A DAY OFF!

From the EB.

I haven't been home on weekday morning since God knows how long. 

Heheheh, okay day off from EB doesn't mean that it's a day off from studying.

I need this.

Okay okay, let's get to work with a huge smile plastered on the face :)

Good night.

p/s not mine, took it from the web

Takbir!

I just got back from Takbir, organized by the MSO.
I miss the sound of takbir on TV during the night before raya. I miss home. I miss the warmth. I miss family. Sob.
I'm more than grateful to have wonderful friends here, who give me the warmth without even realizing it.
Tipulah kalau tak rasa sedih, tp dah kurang :)

"Belajar rajin-rajin, jangan lupa solat" ?
when it should be,
"Solat rajin-rajin, jangan lupa belajar."
Kejar akhirat tapi jangan lupa dunia, bukan kejar dunia tapi jangan lupa akhirat.
Akhirat comes first, a reminder for me and you.
I admit that I have that disease, a disease called "wahan".
But I'll try my very best to cure it, with iman as the cure. iA.
Manusia cepat lupa, so let's keep reminding each other shall we?

In my shoes.

Can you fit in it? For just day?

Be in my shoes and tell me what it feels like.

I know you can't, cos I can never be exactly in yours or anyone else's.

So respect my opinion and my thinking.

Add yours, I'd be glad to listen.

But never dismiss and degrade mine.

Because I have my reasons.

And if I am wrong, correct me.

Please and thank you.

Another matter that is totally unrelated to the post above; A stab on the chest. Saudara tak Islam pun kau kawan. Tipulah kalau tak terasa. So it was all just a cheap talk. Okay bye.

fish in the sea

There are plenty of fish in the sea?

Are you sure?

And you want that particular species.

With that exact trait.

And a little something special of your personal taste.

p/s Sort of unrelated to me at the moment. I just think that the photo is cute :)

un-distress

It was Friday evening, and I baked, by myself, hehe.

I did it in less than 2 hours.

So this is my carrot cake, covered with frosting.

There's pecan in both the cake and the frosting.

I made 2 of these, another one is in a round pan.

I have no idea how this tastes like because I was out and now, I need to get some sleep.

Selamat malam, Salam.

You just gotta love Phoebe! :D

indahnya sungguh dihari raya
