insyaALLAH.

I believe that I have made my final decision. Whatever happens in the mere future is in Allah's hands. I made up my mind to go for it, to reach my own dreams and to turn every cloud into reality. This may be the most exciting part of my life. It's either I'm dragging myself into deep sorrow or the other way round. I have no idea what lies ahead. I may be crying my eyes out the whole year, or I'd be happily enjoying the hell out of myself there. It doesn't matter how it goes, I just want to leave. ALLAH is there, ALLAH will take care of me no matter where I stand.

This Saturday, he will take me to the building, where I would register for the test. I'm planning to sit for it on the 31st of July, InsyaALLAH. Why on the 31st of July, you may ask. It's simply because my graduation is on the 4th of August, and I just want to have a great time on my convocation, not worrying about tests and other things. I hope everything turns out fine.

i wish to travel the world..

A cup of coffee and a good book in hand have always sounded wonderful.Travelling around the globe, jotting down things that you see all along the journey, sounds more appealing at the moment. It's more than just a cup of coffee and a great book, I'm telling you. Different smell, different sight, and you'll get a little bit giddy and jumpy because you can't wait to write down what you are feeling. That's when your writing gets a lot better. Thanks to the mix sensation surrounding that little head of yours. You need not have to pause because the idea seems flowing. Grab a pen and you're done. Rip a few papers and you're off.

You can write almost anywhere. On the grass, on a moving vehicle, under the willow tree, in your hotel room overlooking the busy city and its hustle or the wide spread ocean which blends nicely with the colors of sunset, on the highest peak of a mountain, between two valleys, inside the magnificent pyramids or even on the back of a grumpy looking camel.

I'm gonna list down a few places I've been longing to go, the places I've never been all my life, only in my dreams. And it's not in a order of favorites.

1) Adelaide, Australia

When I was younger, I read about Adelaide in the newspaper and saw the nice pictures of the place and have always thought it to be a countryside. I even kept the newspaper clippings along with the beautiful pictures. However, I could not seem to find the pictures that resemble the older pictures during my childhood on the internet. I can't find pictures of an untouched countryside and its' beautiful stream and trees. Has Adelaide transformed into this city or was I just fantasizing about the countryside? I'd better keep searching.

2) New Zealand

...is where they shot Lord of The Rings, my all-time favourite movie. Everything you see on this place is totally breathless.

3) New York, USA.

I know. It's like one of the glamorous cities in the world.

4) Istanbul, Turkey

The blue mosque is truly mesmerizing during sunset. The babies of Istanbul are also drop dead gorgeous. Can you imagine, how the westerns and eastern are combined together? The Istanbul people is the result of the mixture. So beautiful. I mean, both the place and the people. :)

5) Greece

Greek epics have always been one of my favourites. Epics always make me tremble for no reason. Athens- This is the place I've always wanted to go.

6) Tokyo, Japan

For the interest I have in Japanese anime and dramas. I think they might have influenced me a little.

And I'm gonna keep on dreaming of going to these places.

Versus

This is the place I've been planning to go.

Auckland, New Zealand.

Big plan: scratch every piece of dirt in order to get the money. RM100k is such a big amount. Phew! *Wiping off the precipitation that appears on the forehead* Thought I'd totally made up my mind to go on with the decision to go there when I suddenly stopped in tracks, questioning myself for the umpteenth time: Is it worth it? Being all alone with strangers and big numbers (representing the cost of living)? Being faraway from dear friends and home, catching up with new ones, new lessons, new life, new everything?

Or should I just stick here?

I'm indecisive.

yet,another vow..

Reading back my older posts, I vow to never abandon my blog again. Bukan sebab malas, (Ya, mungkin malas ada juga memainkan peranan minor), bukan sebab tak cukup masa (Time constraint memang selalu dijadikan alasan) tapi yang sebenarnya, idea yang tandus dan otak yang seringkali kontang. Sebab-sebab lain?

a) Leka meladeni kerja-kerja lain

b) Kurang aktif membaca, lalu fikiran menjadi sempit. Fikiran menjadi sempit sebab apa? Sebab kurang bersenam, bukan?

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” Sir Richard Steele

c) Terlalu aktif melayari Facebook, lalu masa yang sememangnya suntuk dah diperuntukkan ke arah tu.

Buka balik blogspot Zahiril Adzim, cemburu tengok dia ada masa nak update cyber-world dan jealous tengok keindahan entrynya. Mungkin life dia lagi meriah dari life Iqa, sebab tu dirasakan entry nya lagi menarik?

selepas setahun setengah....

June. Bulan terakhir yang Iqa janjikan entry baru adalah Januari. Setahun setengah berlalu, baru sekarang ada entry baru. Time flies like crazy. Nasib baik ada masa nak bernafas. Selama 6 bulan berperang dengan waktu, apa yang dah terjadi?

a) Iqa sekarang dah ada kereta baru. Book bulan dua, dapat bulan tiga. Kesian fishyku. Tuannya tak sempat nak cerita pasal dia dalam blog. Fishy tu Viva Elite berwarna biru tua. Meraung-raung nak kaler hitam, tapi maam tak kasi. Akur lah juga dengan permintaan ibu nak kaler biru tua. Or what they call as 'Midnight Blue'. Dah accident sudah pun kereta tu. Bukanlah accident besar-besaran, cuma terlanggar bahu jalan. Salah siapa? Salah tuannya yang terburu-buru dan bodoh. Malas nak cerita. Buat sakit hati je bila terkenangkan dua ratus ringgit yang melayang disebabkan kebodohan sendiri.

b) Iqa dah habis Thesis. Gembira bukan kepalang. Ulang-alik ke Dental, PPUM, minta bantuan Fakhrulisham Razali yang hebat pengaturcaraan. Akhirnya, buah terhasil. Result pun superb, syukur. Separuh gila siapkan semua tu.

c) Iqa tengah practical kat MARDI, di bawah label Pusat Penyelidikan Biotechnologi. Dah sebulan kat sini, malam-malam menumpang rumah Azrahani Abd Halim. Tiga minggu lagi habislah practical. Seronok. I mean, dah nak habis, not the job.

d) Iqa tengah menanti saat nak convo. Bulan August. Seronok. I mean, nak convo, bukannya sebab dah habis belajar. Get what I mean? Keseronokkan untuk memakain jubah convo dan berlari-lari di dewan DTC. Sedihnya, terpaksa angkat bag dari UM. -taknak!!-

Harap-harapnya, ni bukan entry terakhir. Haha.
