Scotland 2016 trip (2) Ben Nevis

Hi and Assalamualaikum peeps :)

For this Scotland trip, this is my day 4 in Scotland and we have rambling (Lake District) and hike (Arthur Seat). So, today is the biggest day in my life. I have double celebration.

I have just found out that I passed my exam the day before and that day, I was overjoyed that I decided to hike the Ben Nevis, Fort William.

BEN NEVIS, FORT WILLIAM
I made up to the top of Ben Nevis :) it took me about 9 hours return. It is tough to be honest but it is even tougher to convince myself that i can make it happen. The negative thoughts of being unfit enough to hike the Ben Nevis, haunted me all this while.But i found a quote which move me forward, you need to love to do something that you hate to 😆 since that's the only way for you to challenge all your limits and capabilities.
Believe it or not, my capabilities are beyond than expected. If the normal hikers take about 3.5 hours from the foothills up to the peak. I took about 4 hr 45 minutes. Yeah, they are the experienced climbers whereas i am the beginner. To simplify it, I cannot compare somebody's Chapter 20 with my Chapter 1 😝. That 9 hours journey took me about 2.5l of water, sweats, half bar of chocolate, adapted with the cold weather and mist that limits our view.

When we almost reach to the top, the other climbers would approach us and say "Keep going, you are nearly there"...."you are almost there, it's only 10 minutes if you keep walking".... Well, sometimes those words motivate me to keep me going even though it's painful
If we look back to our life. The moment we decide our future, keep in mind that the path you will take, there will be lots of difficulty and pain. It requires everything that you have. The mind and body need to work together to make it happen. Being empty-minded and follow the flow are sometimes work 😉
If you feel like giving up, take a glance to the path you have taken, how far have you went, then you will realize how close you are to the 'peak'. Also, having someone to motivate you to keep going is a bonus. And now, I'm surviving another tough year in Bristol. Hope to find my 'peak' soon 😁😊


Here, I've attached some cute but not really photos :P





This guy in red jacket is really awesome, he can speak Malay, oh gosh, I've never thought to meet somebody like him . lol

When pain felt really painful

Hi and assalamualaikum peeps  It’s March already and I just have a few months before graduations. It’s either I graduate with flying colours or otherwise (nauzubillah hope that won't happen). I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs (obviously mine is filled with more downs than ups). I don’t know how to express this but it feels so hard. I feel constantly demotivated most of the time. Exams and projects haunted me. I have no idea how to deal with it. I am depressed, to be honest. Tears rolling down and the worst, I don’t know where to channel it. I do have friends but I seriously do not want to burden them with my problems. I told you this is not my first time dealing with study difficulties. It happened a few times already when I was in Form 4, in Foundation center and here, in Bristol. I will explain in details in my next next post (hopefully it would be soon). For every difficulty (higher level as I get older with more problems), I need to come out with new skills a

Spain 2016- Part 1 (Seville)

Hi and Assalamualaikum :) Peace be upon you Seville is the capital and the largest city in Andalusia (Southern Spain). It was founded by Romans, and Seville was known as Roman City of Hispalis In 7 th century, the Moors, Muslims from Africa conquered Seville. It was the capital for the Kings of Umayyad Caliphate. In order to become the city with organised administration, one city should have these 3 ‘pillars’ but my bad, I could only remembered 2 of them: 1) The place for worship purpose, 2)Palace. I got this info from Mr Aswad, the tour guide for this trip. As usual, the Muslims built mosque for them to pray and there’s Giralda. Islamic influences still remains. Giralda was originally built for by Muslims as minaret. Giralda is now part of the gothic-architecture of cathedral. It is remained as the bell tower of the cathedral. We arrived there pretty late that we cannot really witnessed the great design of Giralda. I (as usual) shot a few photos even though it could not be c

Scotland 2016 trip (3) Glasgow

Hi and Assalamualaikum peeps :) So, today's post is about my last stop in Scotland, which is Glasgow. This city of Glasgow means a lot for me, do you know why? It is because this city and university was supposed to be my dad's university. He was supposed to attend this university back then :) I've copied from my fb post, I got no time to think about new words and sentence for my blog :P GLASGOW Yesterday was my last stop for this Scotland trip and all I could say is that day was the most meaningful day in my life. Being emotional and happy at the same. That offer letter dated in 1982 was my dad's entrance to University of Glasgow in Civil Engineering. I thought he's bluffing when he first told me that made up to enter Glasgow University but he didn't study there :) Until when i saw thi ... s in front of my eyes, I now believe that he's telling me the truth. Hahahhahaha. Back in 1982, he didn't enter Glasgow due to financial problems even
