Good Luck

Today, I was preparing for the final battle - Public Information Campaign Exam.

Then, I receive a message from my mom. Receiving the advices and good lucks from my parents.

I was happy when I got that message.

I also receive the wishes of good luck from my friends back in Malaysia.

Really truly happy that I have great friends throughout my journey. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

To all Mass Comm students and friends, wish you all guys good luck for the exam. This is our final battle.

Once it's all settled, we all can go crazy and party. Not to mention, a few more days before leaving and go on our own separate ways. Let's make every single moment a memory that we will never forget.

P.S: Happy Merdeka Day to Malaysia.

Choices

This was taken during my trip to Wicklow, Ireland.

Remember a poem by Robert Frost? "The Road Not Taken"?

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

It's just like this picture and poem. We have choices provided and we can only choose one or plan out. We all go to different ways of life. We choose one path with no regrets.

Our summer semester course going to end in 2 weeks time. Time really pass by so fast. I'm sure miss the wonderful moments with my friends in UK.

My story and experience in UK shall be said

.....

right after I finish 2 assignments and 1 exam. XD

Now, I have my own space to think because I have a lot of thoughts that I think about lately. Guess what is it?

Till then.

Cheers.

I Miss You So

Over the past few months, I did make phone calls to my close friends and family back home in Malaysia.

Telling them that I'm fine. Telling them that things are okay when they ask me how I am.

When it comes to problems, I give them a call. Sharing these things while at the same time I shed tears.

When I think about them, I cried and hold my tears until these tears fell from my eyes. Not to mention, when I give them a call. For some people who are really dear to me, I cried really hard.

There is also even tears of joy too.

If I don't make any calls to them, for sure will be out of contact. Yes, to me, family and close friends of mine that are like a family to me. I miss them dearly.

It looks like a sign of homesick but then again I can't stick to them like glue 24-7. The mission I hold on to is different from others.

I believe that no matter where I go they are always be in my heart and soul including my thoughts about them.

In a few weeks time, I'll be back in Malaysia to settle with my general student visa. At the same time, I want to spend every moments with them before I leave to UK to continue my Masters.

I'm sure that every precious moments that I will encounter, I will keep them like a precious treasure box within my heart and lock it so that it will not be lost and forgotten.

All I can say is that. Treasure the precious moments you have with your loved ones especially those who are really close to you like a bond. Keep in contact with them when you are in a far distance. Remember that close friends and family are there for you when you need them.

Even though they are not there, you have to stay strong and independent and keep telling yourself that everything will be alright. You got to deal with them with all your might.

Like what one of Phil Collin's song title "You'll be In My Heart". That song really represents a lot of what I said. Friends and family are there in your heart.

Edinburgh Trip (30/7/10- 1/8/10)

It was a 3 days 2 nights trip to Edinburgh with Brain and Elaine. Edinburgh where parents used to live there for two years during the time when my dad study there in Scotland.

It was either a sunny or a cloudy day when it comes to weather.

We stay over at the GlobeTrotter Inn and met new friend from Brazil. His name is Rapheal.

Places I've been to:

Edinburgh Castle

The City Centre of Edinburgh City

Scotch Whiskey Experience

Textile Weaving Factory

Ghost Tours

Calton Hill

and many more...

I even ate Haggis and I got to admit. It's not as bad as my parents told me about their experience with Haggis.

Been to the Elephant House for lunch where J.K. Rowling write her ideas of Harry Potter books.

The one thing that I love here in Edinburgh is the sceneries which I had taken. It's truly breathtaking.

Too bad I did not had the chance to climb to the Arthur's Seat due to time constraint and rainy weather. Oh well. There will be a next time.

Back from the trip and the study mode is on yet again.
