.getaway.

Oh hey readers! I just got back from Portugal and having cough, sore throat and etc. Still, I’m leaving Sheffield for another week to Bristol and London. O yeah, celebrating New Year in London.

In-flight madness, we had to stay in the plane for five hours because of the snow. Although we have got to fly, we reached Faro airport at 0330 hours. But!!!! Weather was really nice. We were all excited for it was windy and warm.


Anyway, covered four cities in Portugal. Faro, Lisbon, Sintra and Albufeira.
Different cities with different features.


.Faro airport at 0330hours.


.Lisbon at night, view from the top of Elevador De Carmo.



.Moor Castle, the breathtaking view in Sintra.


.Albufeira, got to eat delicious pastries and waffles.


.ho hey! group photo in Faro apartment before we fly back to England.

Well, more photos are on facebook. Sure, if you are a friend of mine, you'll get to see them. Cheers!

.which one is you.

What has been kept that makes you a bad or good person?

You are good if you:

*thought that I’m pretty/nice/kind-hearted/etc.
*compliment me.
*say welcome when I’m being thankful for the compliment.

You are bad if you:

*thought that I’m pretty/nice/kind-hearted/etc.
*think complimenting would make me brag.
*instead of saying the good things, you criticised.

So, good person always sincere with their feelings yet a bad person, no, it’s not bad. It is just jealousy. Get control of the feelings, and someday, you’ll know what this post means.

'I', could refer to anyone.

.being thoughtful, again.

This week is treating me, well. I’ve been busy with uni’s stuffs but still have times to hang out with friends. I am so blessed to have them as my friends.

Knowing you are all alone here, these friends, they really understand. As matter of fact, we are alone here and these friendships make us grow stronger. Not saying that I’ve forgotten friends back home, but we are experiencing different states. Different friends understand different things too. Isn’t it?

And I am enjoying my semester now compared to the two previous semesters. Maybe I am better at handling stresses. Hope it is. I am starting to enjoy time in Information Commons (IC) and staying late at the computer lab with friends, do works together, talk rubbish too. I don’t mind going out in the cold weather to have dinner with these people, and wait, it’s nasi lemak we are talking about. Who could resist when it’s England? Band hero too, just awesome. You know you don’t really sing, but you still want to sing when you are with them. Still, I still couldn’t let my real voice to come out properly, hah.

Although this is the end of semester before we start our exams, with all of the stresses, I am beginning to realize how doing well in university means. Academically, of course. That’s the reason I’m here. Life in university. How could I forget about it? Full of surprises.

What it means to a third year student? It’s not too late for me to realize though university life is coming to an end in blink of an eye. I am going to make the most of these two final years to enjoy life in university and then, to a path I could never turn back, work. Ahhhh spoiler!

Currently craving for wrapz. Gonna ask Zatesa to make one for me. :)

.knock knock.

Finally, I have gotten my new laptop. Ahoy! It’s red and it’s dashing. This has kept me waiting for almost two weeks. So, writing this using my current laptop.



YOU have served me for four years now.
YOU were there for me.
YOU knew exactly what I really want to write.
YOU kept the secrets.

For all I know, you’ve been a good companion.

.what you are made of.

Life is meaningless without aims.
Aims are not possible without plans.
Plans are created with passion.
Passion relies on one self.


And that one self, must know own capabilities and weaknesses.
You’ll get to know your strength.
Ultimately that strength makes you a winning person.

.sorry.

I'm sorry for all the times that I hurt you,
Cause everything inside it never comes out right.
