Choose happiness.

so today is the first of December. Also it's raining in the morning which marks my favorite season of the year; winter!

and it's a month before exam which the typical me... getting anxiety and freaking out over it. I don't know but I guess it's good to maintain my focus and study. Juggling with everything right now it still okay but i just felt i want more and still.. the 'more' is unknown. I'm still searching, still experimenting so that i will not worry on just wasting time or just being ordinary, doing the same thing over and over and not growing and experiencing new things.

so, i want to start this new chapter now, even it's not even new year yet. Wish me well.

not too much, not too deep.

Peace be upon to you.

You know when you slept after Asr (the late afternoon; almost sun set) and you woke up feeling moody, uncertain, sad and confuse? This is the state of my mind right now.

It’s not that I’m insane or what it just somehow calming in this state of mind and I can hear my thought crystal clear and I wanted to jot down this feeling because I woke up just now wondering about a lots of thing. Ya this few days quite a day for me.

Everyday I would walk around and ride the bus going to school and classes, everything going as scheduled but I also lost the track of the things that I had to do with the student association that make me face-palm myself a few times because I am not supposed to forget doing all those work cause I already jot it down on the sticky notes and who knows what happened.

I liked being having a job, work to do and a day filled with stuff to do is satisfying because you know you’re being productive but sometime it’s kind of too much and everything just a messed up.

This new year in uni I tell myself that I don’t want to skip class anymore, even when it’s not my subject to present; and those cozy blanket eating me every morning plus cold fall breeze is quite spirit-killing too. Okay. Note here; I’m might be not stable yet from the post sleeping madness so if you’re like wth right now I understand you. Sorry for this because I’m in the mood of writing down all of this sound in my head.

Another thing to tell, I went to Maher Zain album launching and album signing session 3 hour (THREE HOUR) before the event and went praying Maghrib and came back the space was filled!!!

Here the thing I want to rant about. They don’t even consider making a system so that people can have the signing session like A HUMAN instead they just let people do like uugghhh. Sorry, this is my biggest pet peeves. People cutting lines, chaos and you know what are more disappointing? I was about a few inches from meeting him then they decided to stop the session. I was like @#$%^&*. Thank goodness I was able to pass my album to Pyka; a friend of mine who happened to be strong enough to be in that battlefield hahaha. What a day.

Okay enough with this. Thank you for lending me your time by viewing this, I owe you so much. Bye.

how much is too much?

peace be upon to you. Hello.

so..

been a lot lately but thank goodness; i managed to settled it all. It's another year, a new semester and like previous year, everything is hell yah scary. I'm still figuring out the subject, lecturer's lectures ( especially when they utters the special words for specific things and i'm like... wtheck is that?

also i'm still struggling with laziness of being so spoiled back in Malaysia and it's has been almost a month!

i got a new portfolio this year, as a vice secretary which i'm not really cool about it just because i think people are expecting me soo much in that field and i've been doing that job since like... school. I guess I can try.

enough with that.

Have a special November :)

Alexandrina

Assalamualaikum and hello people.

I just came back from Alexandria for a short-packed vacation with few of my buddies; I guess all of us needed to wind up a little bit before the class is starting and everything is spinning out. Actually it’s not planned at all. It just randomly come to my mind when they said they want to go there “I’m in!” .

Montazah, King Farouk Castle.

It’s quite a nice one although the first one is my favorite. I’ve been there last summer and this time is still not the same. I love that place. I love seashore; I love the sound of the smashing wave, the smell of salty water and the blue-greeny color of the sea. It’s so calming and worth it. Also we walked a lot, hell ya like 30k steps a day and I like it. I always love walking while wandering around…

excuse our tired-face lol.

Also, the people there are different from Cairo like earth and sky differ especially Syrian people who mostly working in food industries there. There’s particular restaurant that I like which is ‘Aruuus Dimasq’ or عروس دمشق at the streets of ‘Asafirah’ عصفرة  and a Syrian ice cream shop which sell one of the best ice cream in the world, Trifillo at the same place just in front of the sea. The people who works there are also nice, eye-catchy and surprisingly… they can speak English well!

I was having Faransawi Syawerma and I tell you what, it's nyummy!

the must-try ice cream here!

Not to forget, I personally think that Egyptians like native Alexandrian are differ than one in Cairo just by their common courtesy. For an instance, most of the drivers will stop/slower their vehicles and stopped others beside and behind just to let you crossed the streets and that is a very major common courtesy that I think rarely happened in Cairo. Secondly, when I was in a train and I offer an old lady my seat and she happily thanked me and asked me if there’s anything that I’m selling so that she can buy *how nice is that?* and one time we (our group) in bus one of us offered an old man a seat and he thanked him and asked my friend to leave his bag to him so it would not burden him and.. the list goes on and on.

Citadel of Qaitbay.

Sorry for this quite a long rant but I just felt like typing down this though out  and… here some of the photos that I managed to capture when I was there; or you may view it through my Instagram account.

I guess that is it. I definitely am coming back there, if I may and with that… thank you for reading.

off coldness and coziness.

Well hello October. Hello my favorite time of the year; fall/winter. I love the cold, coziness of this time when you get to be in the warmness of the blanket, having a hot cup of tea and yeah.. night get longer than day.

Class didn’t start yet so I got a few time to figuring out few things, also I finally started to read me before you by Jojo Moyes and all I can say I regret myself for watching the movie first rather than read it so that the movie will make a lot of sense. Note to self: next time, read it before watching it!

Another thing is… sports shoes here are crazily expensive! Like triple the price! I was about to buy an adidas shoes back in Malaysia but I thought I still can buy that in here but yeah… I need to think for the second time when figuring out the price, hahahaha. I ended up buying a new coat for winter since I need that anytime soon. The shoe? maybe next time.

Hurm, I’m feeling quite homesick especially the food! But yeah.. I know I belong here so, stay strong!  I don’t really worry about this semester’s subject but next semester is quite a challenge. I guess this time is not only I need to change the gear but also the maintenance. Hahahaha.

I guess that is all. Bye :)
