Finally, it is the last day of the year. Had been through a lot. Tears, sweat and a taste of failure and success. Bittersweet memory. 


Cant believe time flies at such pace. Time waits for no man.


My 2017 resolution lies in this piece of advice;


"My heart is at ease knowing that whatever is meant for me will never missed me, and whatever missed me is not meant for me" Imam As Syafiee


Some more i would remind myself;


When you put Allah at the highest rank, everything else falls second. 


Always always be grateful. Have syukur a lot. And sabr too 😊


Keep positive! 


May the coming year will bring a better me. Ameen.


The Kitchen Boy

Wednesday, December 27, 2017

I came across this video in You Tube which i don't want to lose sight of. I am yet to watch it, but i must.



It is about the murder of four Russian princesses and the family after being imprisoned in a secluded house away from their people.

There is a fictional book titled The Kitchen Boy in which the author recreated the scene of the final days of the royal family.

I managed to read the book twice, once during first year student and the second was during Masters study. I think i wrote about the book once, i'll try to find the link.

It was an engaging read. I enjoyed it so much both feeling thrilled and scared😢

The author nailed his work, the scene of the murder was illustrated in meticulous details you wouldnt want to remember but you keep imagining it. 

How the princesses and the parents were locked up with the promise someone might come to rescue them which they already got prepared for it. 

The night they were awaiting for months came when the soldier(or so) asked them to gather in a room at midnight, only to realise that there will be the crime scene. 

I was startled to find out that this fictional book was based on a real story, a friend told. She learnt the subject in History. I was more than impressed.

After the first year, i tried to search for the book again but to no avail until recently. 

I would buy the book if it is still in print.

Tonight, let's just get through this piece i stumbled on google. 

I dedicated this to anybody who happens to find me here. This is for you :)



Dear friends,

Find balance in your life. Work hard but do not let work take over your life, you will lose yourself.

Love, but love for the right reasons. 

Life is too short for anything mediocre. 

Know who you are and know that you are worthy of reaching your dreams and that is never too late to start creating the life you have always dreamed of.

Do not compare yourself to others, that is just deadly. No two souls are the same. You are your own person, you are beautiful and you are unique. 

Put your trust in the universe. Some things are just meant to happen, and some are not.

Let go of whatever is stealing your happiness, it could be hard but it is worth it. 

Embrace change. Embrace life. 

Everything happens for a reason, sometimes you just need to breathe, trust and let go. 


Trip to Perak

Thursday, November 30, 2017

Assalamualaikum. As promised, here is my snap shots in Perak. Enjoy!

I went there accompanying Standard 5 students. I have been to Perak once when i was so small i couldnt remember. So, lets just think this is my first official trip to Perak.

We departed from school compound at 10 a.m, 2 buses. We went straight to our first destination, Lost World of Tambun. I only heard about it before and the name sounds good. Hence Im grateful to be there. Beforehand, we stopped for lunch at a nearby restaurant and prayed jamak qasar Zuhur and Asr prayer at a surau. The students changed clothes for swimming.

them thrilled for the pool

DESTINATION NO.1 : LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN

the entrance



We checked in into Lost World of Tambun at 3.30 pm and went out approximately 3.5 hours later. This is only my second time being at a theme park, first was in Mallaca, so allow me to make some comparisons. Mallaca Wet Land is far better. The pools in Tambun wasnt so good and i dont feel like going into the water. The pool area is somewhat small and not inviting (to me). So, i just sat there and stare hehe. One hour passed and suddenly it rained. I was somehow wet too. 

2.5 hours passed before i knew there was  a petting zoo and amusement park behind the pool area. What a waste! I maximized the hour left by playing the thing that swirls up and down (so scary) + boarded a train to surround the place. Only then i realized there's plenty of enjoyable things at this place. No wonder the pool area is small because it accomodate many other exciting places to visit like Petting Zoo, Haunted House, Coffee Shop etc. 

These are among the shots i took on the train surrounding the place. 





DESTINATION NO.2 : PERAK MUSEUM 



Emm, you should be well equipped with history. The most popular museum that i visited during school days was Terengganu. I went there multiple times i felt like a disloyal Kelantenese (because i've never been to its museum -_-).

them queuing up before entering 

in case you wanna have a peek of the inside 


I'm not sure if this is really the state stadium or if there's any other Perak Museum elsewhere because this one is so small, the size of four classrooms maybe. *oh, i forgot that the second level was on renovation mode. 

my mom lived her childhood in this era - with this type of iron

There's one attraction point here located outside of the museum. See photo below. 




can you see them lining up to enter the tunnel?
Everyone took the chance to pass through the air raid shelter and we end up getting out of the tunnel somewhere at the lower level. Forgot to snap the photo. That's it. 


DESTINATION NO.3 : GUA TEMPURUNG 

Last, we went to Gua Tempurung. I cant wait to see how does it looks like. We were inside the cave for about an hour headed by a ranger. this cave is over 400 million years old. Masha Allah. The ranger showed us many formations in the cave that are intriguing and scary too. hehe.  It lasted until 1 p.m. Everyone is fatigued and hoped the bus will arrive soon. 





A short briefing 

That marked the end of our 2D 1N trip to Perak. Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. 

We stayed at Tower Regency Hotel & Apartment, Ipoh for a night and i love the place. It is spacious and convenient :)

*hope i could stay there longer :p

See you again and Wassalam. 
















Why Blog?

Thursday, November 30, 2017

Bismillah.

The sole thing i loved about blogging is i dont know the audience(if there's any) unlike the social media we have now.

I could pour everything here to know that i can come back here one day to reminisce the past :)

I regretted i had not blog about my life during uni days. It must be wonderful and funny to walk again the road as a student.

I am the old person anybody would know before except i think am getting impatient. Im working on it actually :)

Recalled the day i first sign up for blogspot. Went to Azira, use her notebook and she helped with the stuffs. I was keen on writing but hasnt improved
That bland and boring me hehe.
