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 tho he already secured a scholarship. He was raised up in a poor family that he cannot even afford to buy books when he was a kid. So, financial problem was a huge problem back then. Then, he went to the local uni, UTM and became the UTM graduate :)

Today, he managed to send his children abroad all over the world even though sometimes our family faced the same financial problem. I am proud to be the daughter of this great man. Nothing is impossible for him.

Lot more to say about my dad :) He's amazing back then and still an amazing person now. I am dedicating this photo and post to him. I hope I can have and imitate his determination.

O Allah, I maybe not a good child of him, I maybe hurt his feelings sometimes, but there's only one thing I want, I sincerely hope that You grant both of my parents Your blessings and heaven. There's nothing more i could ask from You. They raised me and my siblings very well that I couldn't ask more from both of them. O Allah, I hope I can make them feel proud and I hope I could be a good child who would send them to heaven and not otherwise nauzubillah :) Ameen.

Lots of love from Glasgow 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 ne...

Scotland 2016 trip (1) Arthur's seat, Edinburgh

Image
Hi and Assalamualaikum peeps :) This may be looked like an ordinary trip post. Since this is for my future references, so I want it to be a motivational post instead of the usual cliché post :) This post is the #throwback of my time in Edinburgh. To be honest, I just love this cityyyy, I cannot expressed it through words because it's more beyond words can explain :) ARTHUR'S SEAT I hiked up to the peak of Arthur seat hill, the main peak of Edinburgh. It only took about 1 hour and half to reach to the top. It's maybe a piece of cake for frequent hikers out there. But as for me, it's such a high achievement. I am not a frequent gym goer nor an active jogger to be honest. It relates to my life, being a slow learner is hard, tears always rolling down. Frankly speaking, I am not a high achiever in Bristol but i am proud of what ha ... ve I achieved. It may be not high enough for others but it doesn't matter, it is the effort that counts. Working ha...

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...
