اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَا تُهُ

This post here has been on draft since...ever. Not really. It's been there for weeks. Yeah, that's right.


Anyway, I made this as a means to relay what (I/we) (am/are/had/have) been going through in UK. Tapi tak tahu lah nak tulis apa... Hence, the draft comprising only a single-word title and salam.



So, to avoid this master procrastinator from further procrastination, I figured I'd just write something about anything. Having said that, I think prior warning is necessary: THIS WILL BE A PIECE OF UNCOORDINATED WRITING. If any of you are allergic to such styles of narrative, then by all means, stop reading NOW!!



Here we go.



(For simplicity's sake - both yours and mine - I'd like to breakdown this post into 5 basic parts, thank you)



What I See

Lots and lots of greenery. Let's face it, this place is a nature reserve compared to where I came from. You get huge trees everywhere, expenses of lush parks where people (and animals) can come to play. And flowers! I get a nice view from my window, mashaa Allah :')


What I Feel (physically)

A large spectrum of sensations every hour of the day. You start the day with a beautiful morning sun. A few hours later, it drizzles a bit. Then strong winds sweep it all away followed by heavy downpour. If you're lucky you get thunderstorms, meteors and candy falling out of the sky all in the same day ;)


What I Smell

I don't smell anything here. My nose is (for the most part) frozen and non-functional.


What I Think

I think I should take some of the trees here and bring it home. I just hope they can survive the weather back in Malaysia.


What I Feel (emotionally)

Life's here a bit taxing. You walk wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more in a day here than you ever have to do in a year there. (Maybe I am exaggerating, but who cares?) You have to find time to prepare for lectures, cook, study, attend lectures, prepare for and go to seminars, eat, clean, save the world, do dishes, bathe, exercise, do your groceries, socialise, solat, sleep, and still keep a few hours for yourself to do what you love. You'll get used to it after a while, I guess.  Still...



And that is it. I have work to do, so bubye! :)
