Food for thought

Whenever you feel like you're on top of the world, when you feel like nothing is above you, nothing scares you, nothing will stop you, when you have that powerful confidence that soars within you . . .

Kneel. Touch the ground. Make du'a. Say Alhamdulillah. It keeps you humble.

Less on the blog

I wouldn't say that I've got a lot going on right now. Because I don't. But it's pretty exciting. I finally get to be myself again, fully myself - after realizing that I wasn't feeling too much like me the last time. The reason is simple - things were just wrong in so many ways.

Now that I feel freer and more content, you can see why I don't blog that often. Plus, it's my final year, yo! I can't be on these social network sites all the time. Then lambat laun, I pretty much grew out of it already. I almost deleted my Facebook account because... what is it for again lol. But I have a 'family only' group that keeps me updated with my family and extended. So there you go, a reason to still keep Facebook. I still love Twitter though. It's my daily newspaper. Tumblr tu dah berhabuk rasanya. Blogger... still here. What else... can't even recall.

And as always, about school:

Final exam starts next week! Gila oi rasa macam baru semalam landing sini. One more semester afterwards then I'll be on my way to different places. I've so many plans and I don't think I can do it all, duh. Some plans are just undoable. Sigh!

Me and my friends (a group of 13 students) are joining Relay For Life Canada early next year. Another RFL woohoo!

The end

Eid ul adha

After being pushed to update my blog (Zzzzz.....), I decided to make a post about my trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia last month for Eid ul adha. It's my third (or fourth) visit to H-town, I think. It's the closest main city to Freddy. Takes about 4 hour drive to get there. So I rented a car with my friend and embarked on the journey the night before Eid.

Day 1: I slept in that day and didn't go for eid prayer. Too exhausted! We made roti jala, rendang ayam and pulut nasi that day. Then, we went to the park for a Salam Perantauan photoshoot. Hehe! At night we joined the Eid celebration by the Dalhousie Muslim Students Association. Got inai/henna booth and there were so many people waiting to get their henna done so we did our own henna design :)

The park was also a historical site. Behind us is The British (or French?) forte

 Day 2: Had all-you-can-eat sushi for lunch and another photoshoot!

We were fooling around and dreamt of becoming duta The Poplook (wishful thinking gila punya), hence the pose. But Poplook is doing an Instagram contest and I hashtagged this photo. Ha... Semangat?

This too was hashtagged thepoplooklove

 Took a panoramic photo of the lake we visited. App name: Photosynth, a 360 degrees photo stitching app.

Day 3: Went out shopping at the mall and baked with my girls! Made Red Velvet cupcakes and two Pavlovas. First attempt. It's decent. It's just that I'm not a big fan of pavlovas so....

Day 4: We had an early coffee session in front of the harbor, overlooking the wide open view of the waters (connected to the North Atlantic Ocean). One of my sweet girlfriends treated me Pumpkin spice latte :) Only one of the best lattes ever.

I had a really good time. Love them :)

Serendipity

Serendipity: "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise"

I'm so glad that I didn't turn my back on fate. I'm so glad that I believed. I'm so glad that I knew for sure. Looking from the point where I stand now, I see what was wrong then. And now, knowing what I lost was something that I NEEDED to lose, that's a bless. I'm just glad. Life is good and I thank God for that :)

Happy Deepavali

I see it now...

I see now why the kitchen floor has been squeaky clean lately . . .

Someone has been scrubbing the floor! Mystery solved!

David

Probably one of the few things that makes sense to me right now is David. He's gorgeous. He's got them deep green eyes, muscular body and pointy ears. Silent but deadly. Mischievous. Manly face structure. Oh he's real I tell you. Here you go, you're welcome.
