My 22nd birthday

Hi and Assalamualaikum guys :)

It has been a while since the last time I updated my blog. It does not matter. I am always a busy person. Last week on Wednesday (5th October 2016) was my 22nd birthday. Yeay! Well, not really happy to accept that fact that I'm getting older :P

As usual, like any typical birthday girl, I would get so excited to celebrate and fill the day up with meaningful and lively moments with my beloved ones. And again, I am always away from my family. They are all in Malaysia (some are abroad). So, I was really happy and excited to start a great day (even though I still have lectures and meetings need to be attended). Later in the afternoon, my friends and I have decided to go out for lunch and spend some good times together. We haven't gone out having any proper meal together since ages.

One fun fact about my birthday is there must be any sudden, unexpected, sad thing or incident that would happen at some points of the day. never missed even a single year. I'm pissed off.
Well, it did happen again this year! oh no.


Since I am a final year student in Bristol, I, like any typical final year students, we have the Final Year Project (FYP) and of course, since I am a science student, lab involvement is a must :D On that day, I have a meeting (scheduled earlier so it does not matter). During the meeting, one of the PhD student whom organise and lead our project told us "maybe we can have a lab introduction session at 2pm today".

OMG OMG OMG OMG. What else to say, I have no 'rights' to say that I have something up to that day :( *crying inside* So, I canceled the bookings in the restaurant and informed my friends right afterward to have our lunch canceled. It's annoying really!

I finished my lectures at 1pm and we got 1-hour break to have our lunch (and prayers too since I am a Muslim). I was really not in my mood, feeling sad and angry at the same time. There are 365 days in a year, but why it must always always and always be on my birthday, I could not understand that. Back to my story, I went for lunch in Refectory after lectures, 'craving' for my favourite cheese and onions pasty. For god's sake, the cheese and onion pasty were all sold out and only vegetable pasty (suits me well since I can't eat the non-halal chicken/beef here). So, I just bought the vege pasty and that day, only on that day, ketchup and mayonnaise were not served! I was not in good mood and all of these small things really made me annoyed of life! hahahahahhaha

I finished everything at 6pm. hmmm, have got nothing more to say, I just want to cry (I did for real, hahah). Well, there was a fortnightly Malaysian gathering at my friend's place. We usually have some good food and reciting Quran altogether. To my surprise, my friends planned a surprise birthday party for me. I did not ever think about that. I feel loved. Thanks really to these bunch of people who made my 1/3 of the day meaningful. Or else I would go home crying over the bad day I got :P

I acted like a small kid craving for a lollipop. This is because I rarely celebrate my birthday. I could count it using my single hand. hahahahha.

In the weekend, I arrange a dinner for me and my best friends. So, we chat and updating our hectic life :D hahahahaha...So, we spent our time well together. I really love my life and thanks to Allah who gives me the good and lovely people surrounding me :)

Farah xoxo

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
