Otw Home #1

Assalamualaikum!

Kami otw balik! Hehe first time balik berteman. Kalau tak, sendiri lah pack sendiri lah drag bag yang berat tak pernah tak capai 30kg+7kg tu sorang sorang haha. 

Walaupun balik kali ni penuh berita berita yang bukan nak kita nak dengar. Btw sekarang ni otw dalam bus from Cardiff to London. Tibe tibe teringat time travel ke Paris.

We wanted to buy a monopod near Sacre (I forgot the name). A bangladesh guy ni he wanted to sell it for €10 but we said we will only buy if it's €5. Tawar tawar semua. Try cakap English, dia tak paham. Try cakap slow slow pun tak paham. Siap tunjuk sign 5 dengan tangan. Pun tak paham. Then we just went off. 

Pastu kawan dia dekat sebelah (assuming kawan sebab Bangladeshi jugak since in Paris ade 2 orang asing yang abundant - Bangladeshi and Nigerian) macam cakap cakap lah, tegur dia. Kenapa kau tak reti nak cakap Engkish yg basic pun tapi kan kau nak menjual. Cemtu lah. 

So kita pun terpikir lah macam mana lah dia punya gamble datang Paris from Asia just to cari rezeki despite not knowing to speak English and not even French. Kesian. May Allah protect and ease every single soul that has hope and effort to make a better living. Aamiin!

Teringat ayah selalu cakap, "This is the survival of the jungle. Only the strong wins." Oh boy, this concept memang applicable sangat for studies as well 😊 So kena lah usaha keras dalam hidup ni hehe 💕

When LIFE kicks you

Assalamualaikum folks,

How are you doing? Cuz if you were to ask me...

Of all the time in my life, honestly this is the most challenging moment. When I am young and naive (not that I am no longer this!), I always thought that the adults and experience people are absolutely poyo for giving this statement - “When you grow up, you’ll be busy chasing everything and yet forgetting everything you own let alone, to be in the moment and lastly regretting it. So, enjoy better your life.”

Aku macam, hmm yeah yeah whatever.

But then, recently life kicks the hell out of me. Well actually, since a few months ago. Till recently, I could not bare the pressure any more. THE MOST MASSIVE ULTIMATE breakdown I have ever experience. Haa gittuw dia punya exaggeration! I really do not have specific reasons to why it happened. I guess I was compressed a little to hard that even small things that don't go my way could tear me down. Another issue apart from the breakdown is, you got to play along and show happy me to the world! Tu yang paling susah kot! At this point, faking isn't going to work. But that's the least you can do to conceal kan sebab outsiders takkan tahu (actually more to you dont want them to know). Not even insiders. Unless if you really barged in, because who would ever show the pain kan? I definitely would not.

Tapi alhamdulillah lah sekarang recovering. The fact that I would want to open up on my problem is a good sign kan. Thank you to the Al Mighty for still blessing me with beautiful souls that care about me so much! Hikmahnya, at my lowest point, I get to know how much people loves me and truthfully, I now value my love ones even more!

Sekadar bercakap melalui pengalaman, andai kata kawan kawan anda tu at the state like me. You hug them! Give cliche quotes or kata kata semangat, because Lillahi "life must go on" and "be strong, as a leader EQ kene tinggi" really comforted me! MashaAllah, especially to those yang hidup jauh dengan family, and friends je yang kita ada. Selalu lah amal amalkan. It might help the well being of others, in a way that it would help yours. Trust me. Sekarang ni, take your phone and call them tanya khabar! Go now! Don't care how awkwardly and how long you guys have not being in touch with them. You might discover something hehe.

Remember this, orang yang selalu ceria tak semestinya tak sedih :)

Another one thing, back to basic, to Allah!

P/S: Ini baru ujian mental hidup sebagai mahasiswi. Not yet to deal about love ones leaving for good. Hopefully when the time comes, I will be ready and prepared :’( 

Yours truly,

Amirah Nasir.

God Bless

Assalamualaikum folks,

So today is the weekend after Sheffield Malaysian Games 2016. What can I say apart from Alhamdulillah? Everything has ended apart from the post mortem meeting. MashaAllah lots of things learnt from managing the event. From people's behaviour, to verbal and written commumication, dealing with meetings and most importantly decision makings especially on the day itself - with the non ideal weather. Feedbacks from the event were brutal mashaAllah. Like bullets passing through the heart and head. But what doesnt kill you make you stronger ayte?! 

Again, alhamdulilah is all i can say.

So you can tell how grateful i am that this weekend arrived! I got the time to myself, tidied(?) up my room, did 2 weeks worth of laundry (opps!), stocked up food and whatever mischivieous stuff that have long gone but who has time to go to tesco and do quick shopping hahaha.

Anyways, because of the previous hectix life, whatever i do now, i choose to do something that makes me feel closer to home. Hence, shopping at a big tesco instead of tesco extra or so. Went with  le housemate, Syira. Took random pictures in there! 

This as you can see is a unique packaging of grapes here. Cuz the usual ones is packaged in a fixed shape plastic. Hard to explain tho. And those watermelons, oh god you dont know how terrible i craved for one! Juicy mouth watering wotahmelon! 😭

Taugeh boleh takkkk hahahaha

And lastly, me and my friends 😈😈😈

Amirah Nasir.

Housemate

Assalamualaikum folks,

So my final exam is in less than a week, thankfully dah buat revision but still not satisfied with my progress. But that is not the bad part. The bad part was, I was down with fever for the past 3 days. It come and go. Hence, lack of focus and yknow it's always bad to be sick before exams.

To make it a story, my housemate did what a housemate should do (i guess, common sense of living together.). She made me porridge and cut some apples. Well to me this is the least you could do kan, but honestly rasa terharu. Being away from home, you just want people to treat you nicely especially when youre sick. Kalau dulu duduk student accommodation, tak dapat lah mcm ni. Kalau sakit, sakit sorg sorg je. 

And for this ya Allah, i thanked you for your mercy and these little angels. May You forgive us all :')

Jazakillah sisters :') besarnya hati ini Allah yang tahu!

Yours truly,

Amirah Nasir.

Life Update kononnya

Assalamualaikum old folks,

I am sorry I didn't update about my life here in UK that frequent anymore (or worst, none for this term!). Obviously was so busy and still am. And definitely more workload and commitments. 

One of the reason i still have not give up on this blog is simply because writing posts improves my writing skill (i hope) and helps me develop my cognitivity and vocabulary as well as verbally (because i tend to speak what's in my mind out loud haha).

Nothing much going on with life except my exams are in 2 weeks and wallahu I just started revising my notes for the first time because I was too focused on my third year project before. Yet i still have to meet my supervisor next week. Hence, extra work for researching. Oh oh got 6/10 for project presentation that day. Was pretty excited because that was the first official formal presentation in the UK. Time for suit up, aint it?! Hahaha and and last weekend, Sheffield had snow falling for an hour :D Not to forget my Sheffield Malaysian Games, we're working real hard to make it the best for players and everyone who will come. Dont forget, 20th Feb 2016 hehehe.

That's all that I could think for now. More pictures soon maybe. Chiow!

Yang ikhlas, cantik dan solehah,

Amirah Nasir.

Proud Daughter
