As I bid farewell to the Emerald Isle

Image
It has been an excitingly incredible journey. My 10-week period of stay is filled with adventures of a lifetime. Knowing Frits is an amazing memory. He is a man of wise, experienced and honest character. He teaches me not to give up and to give it all. To test yourself to the limit, he also put me in a situation where I am at peace with myself. He opens my eyes that I am a beautiful lady, being that deserves everything that I deserve. I deserve to be happy and because I am keen, he says I should demand a man in an equally stable relationship. This is for future reference. Anyhow, I feel sad to leave him but we will surely keep in touch. Hope so. Friends (now family), To say I know you is a false claim. I don't and won't know you until we spend a 24-7 together. If I were given a chance, I would do Ireland all over again with both of you. I love you and I know you love me too. You are so precious to me. Now, let's get home.

A letter to my best friend #1

Assalamualaikum. Dear best friend, I hope one day you will read this. On this fine day, I hope things are going well for you. I hope your life is on track and you find what you have been looking for. I hope you are surrounded with happiness and feel content by doing the things you love. Little did you know that you are a great friend to me and your presence is what I value the most. You have taught me, mentored me, consulted me and been there when I needed a friend. We may differ in genders and interests but you know, I found our common points slipping through. You were the one who told and reminded me of what was right and what was wrong. Despite your tone and way of speaking, I understood and took it as a way of you saying you appreciated and love me as your friend. We argued a lot and I will miss those times. As I get to know you more, I am slowly feeling sad realising the fact that we will soon part to our own destiny. I must say right now, I will feel empty not having you aro

Officially a traveller

Assalamualaikum. As I'm reaching 23, I now finally acknowledge myself as a traveller. I am a traveller of the world. Just listing out a few countries I've been to : - Arab Saudi (Mekah & Madinah), 2004 - Indonesia (Bukit Tinggi), 2012 - Cambodia (Pursat & Phnom Penh), 2013 - Japan (Tokyo, Kawaba, Asakusa & Shibuya), 2015 - Hong Kong (at least 2 hours of flight transit), 2017 - United Kingdom (London for 28 hours but I'll say the amazing 28 hours), 2017 - Ireland, 2017 My passport is an incredible album of my journey. Stamped somewhere in there were the moments of my life. If the incident that I almost went to China alone for a conference in 2016 had happened, then another one would be on that list. This is another story not worth being told due to the ignorance of the educational institute. I cannot say that I am not proud of myself for Ireland. I am proud of myself because I had the courage, took all the effort and went bravely. Despite all, I went.

Rough day for my emotions

Assalamualaikum. It has been a while since I wrote about things happening in my surroundings. You see, I was busy living. So as I'm writing now, I'm a bit distracted from life. It's April 12th, half past nine in the evening. I'm living with three old friends and two new friends. This is family, currently. I regard this bunch as family. I'll be back in 18 days. You see. People can get so honest when you know them very well. When you know others well, you'll just find out the very honest side of them. And little did you realise that you're exposing your innerself to them too. Some just ignore, disregard and reject what others think of them. I understand that is just their way but you see (again), try to be conscious. A little, at least. Take what you can, leave what you can't. It won't kill you to do so. It's stupid when others have to bear their ears and listen to the bad things people say about you and not say them to you directly because the

Untuk malam ini sahaja #7

Benarkan aku berbicara Untuk malam ini sahaja. Kini di kejauhan Rinduku membuku Naluriku merayu Cintaku menyubur Padamu di tanah tumpah darahku. Ruang-ruang kosong Yang tercipta di celahan masa Alur-alur kecewa Yang melalui sisipan hari kita Semakin terubat hendaknya. Namun janganlah Sedikitpun hujahku tidak kau endah Hati kecilku pinta diambil kisah Apakah sebenarnya sukar dan susah Dari dulu kasih dan sayang kau curah Kuharap kan kekal terserlah. Ballyrisode, Ireland, 8 April 2017.
