LUCKY PETITE: 2016

Good Friend

11:16 PM

"..if you have an aim, go for it! Don't always feel down. When you feel down, motivate yourself. Everyone has their own strength, we might achieve what others don't.." - FH

So, yesterday something happened and me being me, got excited over nothing. #mudahterhibur haha.

Long story short, my girl friend and I chatted (texting) for quite a minutes about it and I ended up feeling all humbled , self-conscious, inferior about myself which then brought out the picture's caption above from her. xD

You know you've got a friend #forkeeps when you met someone who's always reminds you of your worth and genuinely happy for you over the simplest things happening.

Happy 24th girl!

11:26 PM

Turning 24 today. Alhamdulillah.

"If I want to be happy, it would be my own doing"

I realized, there's nobody can make me happy from within if it is not me myself. Yes, other people do/can make me happy, but it will not last long. Happiness that comes from other people can disappear anytime the situation change, not like the one you created yourself. Or at least, it will stay with you a little longer :)

To all the well wishes, gifts and celebration I am indeed thankful. May God shower these people with lots of love and blessings. They will always be in my prayer.

To my housemates, thank you for accepting me for who I am all these years. We had our ups and downs, but still sticking together. Thank you.

To Kak Hana, your presence means a lot to me. You're such a gift God granted me that I don't want to lose. May our friendship forever be filled with love, understanding and acceptance. Let's be that good friend to the very end.

I don't know, but this year's birthday feels special (ok I know, I feel special on this date every year hahahaha think said the same in my two-two post haha). The wish from Kak Rachel really made my day. I miss her so much! Can't wait for the day we meet each other again, been so long..hope to see her next year! Not forgotten, Hana Rozunan's wish! Haha :D :D :D

And of course, the best part was the evening spent alone at a cafe. Just as how I wish my evening would be. From the first step to the last step (out and into home again) everything was super smooth that evening. As if God blessed my way. Alhamdulillah for everything.

felt so thankful, made nasi lemak the next morning haha

Now, how to refrain from getting too excited?

A Weekend Escape

11:47 AM

Just something I want to remember. Thought better tobwrite a bit before I completely forget . The nanny you know -_-"

Few days back, I texted Kak Hana : "Kak, Jom gi CS weekend ni", she agreed and..there we were, hanging around the whole day xD

Yesterday was..

Fun. Fulfilling. Relaxing. Just the way I would love the day be.

We left right after Obstetrics class and arrived at City Star around lunch time, so we headed straight to Mori Sushi. To be honest, they weren't as yummy as to when I ate them before. We ordered combo 33 set (to make it easy actually) but to fit our palate, I think it's better to order our own choice of pieces rather than go for combo. But anyway, I enjoyed the lunch.

We strolled around, window shop-ed, lepak-ed.

At the Virgin was the best. Laugh-ing, meh-ing, snap-ing over the quotes and titles they have there is such a bliss. Had so much fun with those books. If only they still have chairs like they used to have back then, I bet we'll not move our butt from there ^^ Well, lucky they don't xD

We walked like crazy looking for toilet, searching for prayer room, to find the exit door and many more lah. Lol guys lol. Me with my poor sense of direction omg may God help me with that. God bless you Kak Hana. Do take this nonsense as me helping you enhancing your navigation skills, sisturrrr. Really guys, I cannot go to any big mall alone. The perk of always going around absent minded -,-''

So, my catch yesterday was my very first bear that I actually bought for me myself and the diary-kinda-notebook that we bought as a friendship token. There was this one chocker with silver love pendant that I really want, but no enough money, so yeah ^^

Everything done yesterday was something I couldn't possibly do with "just anyone" (being the reserved person I am). But the fact that I can really enjoy the day with her, means a LOT. I'm soooo gonna cling onto you, like, forevahhhh. Habislah sisturrrrrr *insertwhiteghostemoticon* :D

For a great day, I am thankful.
#grateful #gratified

The catches. Meet Miss Hamleys (she doesn't look like a girl, but I decided it should be a girl ^^) my new company from now on xD

Kak Hana & me : waiting for food to be served.

Going back to our place : waiting for some other colleagues and the van.

At Virgin.

And now, I really should focus on my final exam. God bless us all. Love. xoxo.

Aidiladha 2016 #Zagazig

Happy Eid !!

Last eid in Egypt insyaAllah :)

Scroll down, look at the photos and you were like "????"

There's nothing much to story actually. It was just a happy eid morning with my friends.

Why stadium? Because basically, Zagazians pray in there instead of in mosque for eid prayer. Actually, there is one mosque that specifically attribute for Malaysian students but I don't like it there. Like, why would I be only with my community when I am here in Egypt, right? It doesn't feel right to always be in comfort zone anyway.

Finding Passion & Purpose

1:11 PM

I changed my mind.

Few of my previous posts were actually 'self-knowledge questions' for what I called my self discovery journey. At first I thought it will be a good idea to share it here, but thinking again, I don't think I'm ready for such exposure yet. Plus, most of the questions (from the book I read) are quite personal and some relates to future-thingy (dreams and all).

I decided to just save all that for my diary. **might share one or two here which & when appropriate**

So, what questions am I talking about?
The book talks about self-knowledge, about knowing how you, personally, feel about a wide range of issues. To invest just 5 minutes a day, interrogate yourself for priceless gift. It is to cultivate a significant sense of who you are so you'll see you are a pretty admirable person instead of being all shy, pessimist and inferior about yourself.

The plus value is that those questions that you'd think in advanced, might also be a great help later on - no more hesitation in any conversation, no need extra time to formulate your ideas and yeah you'll definitely look like one confident creature talking even if you are actually not :)

I haven't pass quarter of those questions yet, so let's see how first. Will post more questions (examples) when I'm done. xoxo.

The Way You See It May Not Be The Way It Is

12:33 AM

It's weekend and I am all stressed. Few things regarding our house still not settle and it has been a week now. So yeah, instead of being caught in those emotion, I thought, lets blabber here. Less emotion = less stress.

Back to main topic. Whilst I was lazying around, laying on bed, being all emo, what happened a month back popped up into my mind. Again. Haha (sooo me guys. I can hardly forget anything I want to forget). It was a regret. I don't want to blame myself though. To me, my intention and thought was correct, it just that the way I approached thing was wrong. But it's fine, I learned the lesson.

So guys,

In any interaction between people, there will always be:

The way they see it - The way you see it - The way it is

Take the example of Dave who usually arrives about 10 to 15 minutes late for a meeting.

The way he sees it : We are supposed to meet at 8 am and I'm here just after that. I don't suppose anyone expects me to be here dead on 8 o'clock.

The way you see it : Dave is so selfish, he just shows up whenever it suits him. I've been here since 7:45 so that we can start at 8 o'clock. He has no respect for me or any of his colleagues.

The way it is : Dave arrived at 8:12 am.

We can get extremely stressed/inconvinient when people don't see things the way we do.

Every human being in this world is different from each other; we are all as different as our fingerprints. Some of us are very similar and that's why we become friends with some people and even share our lives with them. However as you well know, even your closest friends and the person you share your life with still see the world differently from you. Your customers/staff/boss/colleagues see, hear and experience situations in different ways from you. They are not necessarily doing or saying something just to annoy you; it's just the way they see it.

Personal relationships ( mine too :(( ) often come to grief because of this inability to see it the way the other person does. The point has been made several times that we are all different. How often have you been to a play/movie and thoroughly enjoyed it, whereas the person you were with, didn't enjoy it at all. You think: "what's wrong with them?...."

When someone doesn't see things the way you do, there is potential for you to get stressed and collect negative feelings. What then happens is that you dump these negative feelings on the other person, and then you have difficult situation.

The way to avoid these negative feelings is to:

√ Accept people the way they are

√ Decide not to react to other people's behaviour (how I wish I knew this earlier!)

√ Be responsible for your own feelings

√ Change your expectations

√ Ask for help when you need it

√ Communicate from your thinking programme

Fire prevention is a much better course of action than fire fighting. However, fires will break out and behaving assertively will minimise the damage.

And thanks to what happened, I now realised the importance of maintaining a good relationship with others. Yes, I used to be that person who don't really care (I went 'meh'..right is right, wrong is wrong without even wanting to know the reason behind). -,-" . I bet, everything needs time, like me needing time to be more _______ ??

Till then, love:xoxo.

Aidilfitri 2016 - Zagazig/Egypt

5:10 PM

Assalamualaikum guys!! Hehe I am finally here again..after months of hiatus!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA..MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN

happy eid..eid mubarak guys!! minalaidinwalfaizin.

Another blessed eid fitri in Egypt this year..the last one insyaAllah.

It was a simple celebration with few other colleagues..many of us went back to Malaysia (including my housemates..yes guys, i'm alone at home for almost one month!! big applause for me myself! haha) so there's only small number of Malaysian (my batch especially) here in Zagazig this Raya.

The Raya morning, I woke up early..super early guys, because of my sinus allergy!! haha what a night! I ate squid that night and got the flu-like symptom right few hours after..yeah me and seafood, we can't get along very well. Then went to mosque for Solat Raya and guess what guys, I didn't manage to pray!! We were late..haha but there's a funny story beside. Lol gus lol. We were late, but I didn't know they already prayed. So, I put on my telekung right after I enter the mosque bhahnhaha not knowing they were done, and just sit there listening to KHUTBAH guys!! haha and only realized what's going on when the males rouse to disperse and I was like "HUH??? LOL NADIA LOL" and was super embarrassed! HAHAHA a story I can tell my grandchildren later on..haha maybe.

Then that evening I went to Za's house..ate nasi himpit, rendang and some cake..it was yummy..thanks Ain and Za :)) and the rest of the days, back to my usual daily routine ^^

And here are some photos of this year's Raya ;)
