Good morning everyone I was googling some interesting motivation topics to write this morning and this one caught me instantly. I believe all of us can relate to this because we are surrounded by people. People you love, people you like, people you are comfortable being around, maybe people you dislike or people you have to connect with because of circumstances and the list goes on.  Before I start writing I would like to share some of these quotes I found on wiseoldsayings.com: "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."  Oprah Winfrey "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, suffering, struggle, loss and have found their way out of those depths."  Elisabeth Kubler-Ross "I've learned that people may forget what you said and what you did but people will not forget how you made them feel."  Maya Angelou ...

Good morning :) It is such a beautiful morning, the sun shining brightly from my balcony. All calm and peaceful alhamdulillah, the horses outside not seen yet and probably still asleep. Its a Friday morning and every Friday is always a calm day for me, one of my favourite days. Also because its near the weekend so I feel more relaxed.  When I recall the events of the past week, Monday was my brother's birthday, Wednesday was Independence Day and last Sunday we went to Sunway Lagoon. My summer has been so so amazing, I thank God for His reward to me for working hard these past months and years. The last time I had a relaxing long holiday like this was probably summer 2014 because I was doing a full-time internship last summer and for my course, we do not really have Christmas or Easter break. During these term breaks, its more like a study break for me because our mid term and final exams fall directly after these holidays. Exam time is most hectic so definitely no carefree,...

Dear all, Today I was thinking of writing a motivational article and thought of something that might be useful or relatable to many people and that is 'Forgiveness'. This topic is linked to the relationship with people and all of us encounter people in our daily lives, its inevitable. You meet family, friends, colleagues, shopkeepers, your boss or teacher or even simply a passerby who you have never known or met before. Upon interaction with other people, there is a tendency or likelihood to be hurt at any point of your life. It could be by someone you barely even know or somebody close whom you trust. In either situation, both would be hurtful and depending on the situation, could affect you in one way or another, physically or emotionally.  It is near impossible to change people. Sometimes you wonder why do they say that, why did they do this, why didn't they do that or why me or what did I do wrong or why does it always have to happen again or do they not underst...

Every year, my family and I try to plan a family trip together to a place we have never been before. I remember in 2012, it was Cameron Highlands and Bukit Tinggi, 2013 Singapore, Port Dickson, UK and Legoland, Johor then 2014 Sabah, 2015 UK again, Langkawi and Sarawak and this year Bangkok, THAILAND :) I would consider myself a family person because family trips and family time are always my favourites. When I say family, yup my direct family members as well as some extended ones and even very close friends. In this context when I am referring to the trips above, its direct family. On Day 1, we went to the airport by taxi to KLIA and flew there by MAS. It took about 2 hours to reach there and in the plane, we were delighted to be served hot food once and then dessert and hot drinks later and for the first time ever, I received ice cream on the plane! I have been on several airlines and even long ones but never have I been served ice cream before. It was like tiny magnums chocolate...

Dear readers, Hope all of you are doing great and having a positive week so far :) A few weeks ago, I received a request, asking for me to write a post on surviving university life. While I was thinking for a suitable blog topic, this came up and I thought it would give a more positive impression on university life as opposed to the word 'surviving'. The truth is many of us are trying to survive university life. It is a challenge, no joke. To me, it is much much different to school life and one of the main reasons is because I am now in a different country. In the midst of trying to survive, I discovered many new things, new friends, new perspectives, new talents, new hobbies and many new things in life that I never did before. I always pray that it changes me for the better, rather than the opposite. One physical change is that I started to wear the hijab after my first year in the UK, a confident decision that I did not manage to do before.  Making the best of universit...

Dear all, Its July 2016 and now 2 years since I decided to wear the hijab. I always wanted to write a post on this but was not sure how and what to say.  One thing I know for sure is that I have always wanted to wear it but did not have the confidence to do so. I was worried then if people will accept me or look at me differently. If my capabilities were limited or if I would be discriminated. Especially since I am studying in the UK and the majority of people there have different beliefs. I kept this intention deep in my heart and mind and let it be. I thought I would go with the flow and wear it when I would feel comfortable enough and not end up taking it off afterwards. Sometimes it bothered me, thinking why am I making it hard for myself to do something that I want to do and be influenced by the society and people around me. I admit I do not come from a family background that is super religious. Alhamdulillah both my mum and dad practice Islam and show a good example. ...

Hello there! Selamat Hari Raya to all :) Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying whatever you may be doing at this point- may it be studying, working, holiday-ing hehe. The key point to staying happy is to stay positive and content with  what you are doing,  where you are, who you are with, whenever you are doing it and for whatever reason you are doing what you are doing today. Life is certainly not perfect but it is those little imperfections that build our character and the amazing person we are today. Yes, there is always room for improvement but always stay thankful for who you are and what ever you have achieved in life and believe in yourself. One you do your part, let God do the rest.  I'm on my summer break and thought you might be interested in something I have started doing to help and reach out to all my blog readers especially students. Motivating and inspiring people is something I always want to and keep on doing. Although university life has certain...
