A place to call home...

Edinburgh the city of many surprises....

Two days ago I hopped into a cab and I was baffled why the cab driver started dissing the cyclists.. quite passionately he curses them. But at the end of it he said " funny that I'm... a cyclist myself" I couldn't help but crack up! that was funny. A much needed laugh when I had a long day of classes, assignment worries and sorts. He goes on like a stand up comedic. I was thoroughly entertained, I'm falling in love with you Edinburgh. 

Today I was startled by the ringing of my doorbell. I opened up the door to find a woman at my doorsteps. I wasn't sure what she wanted and I was just standing there with questions in my eyes... To think of it now I should have said hi.. but she spoke in a soft voice and said that she was just cleaning the stairs leading down to my front door and that she'd just used water and some detergent. That's fine I said, how much for that? i questioned. Owh no, no, she'd said. "I live upstairs and the owner of the place doesn't seem to bother with... so I'm just cleaning it up" 

Oh wow... what an amazing woman. I was so taken aback by her thoughtfulness.. all I could muster was thank you.. thank you... Edinburgh you are so full of surprises.

Up anD aWay

Here I am again... making a much overdued update.. blogging is less trendy now I guess..? hahahah 

Far away from home... feeling the homesickness but surviving hooraaahh!!

Trying to enjoy me a good time... although not as wide eyed and eager as the first time around.

The perks? I have more money to spend than I did the first time... In disbelief that I am here.. the first month felt as if a dream.. Now, I slowly sink into reality. It is fun. 

So what have I been up to?...

The ferris wheel that had me screaming..

My first meal in the faraway land...

the room that was home...

 Suffice to say i'll be away for a couple of years... and hopefully getting what I intend to do.

what a day...

Ever felt like you no longer hold the reigns to your life?... hopeless rasanya..
Lost an Uncle... in a split second it felt... never expected it coming... even now it feels like a dream... a nightmare more like.. I wanna wake up from.. desperately... Al-fatihah... moga ya bersama orang-orang yang beriman.. aminn... I cant begin to immagine how the family must feel... But they have been strong through it.. kudos to the dear cousins and aunt for being so brave..

Then I discoved something that felt like a revelation... all this time i think i knew it all along.. just refused to believe what was blatantly obvious... I pray that justice prevails... and sit and watch as days go by and wait for news that always seem to find its way to me even without asking.. interesting. Aaahhh life... slow down a bit please I need to catch my breath..
