Getting Started

When I first attended the orientation programme, I was in shock. The "Use Condoms" campaign, Party every nights along the freshers' week, and yes, free condom(s) in our goodie bag.

Don't worry, it is not a big issue after all.

What else?

Woke up at 2 or 3 am for the first few days due to jetlag.

Drooling seeing them eating palatable and mouth-watering food, knowing that we cannot eat them.

Loads of anatomy class (almost every day) and they made me -.-". Still, it's an enjoying subject compared to others.

Sleep in ***** classes.

The cold weather. Hiding under my pink with flowers-printed duvet is a blast. Teehee. Get used to the weather already, Alhamdulillah.

Lovely Irish housemates.

Walking to everywhere I go. 

Strolled around the town alone. 

Eat a lot. and cook a lot too :))

Can't think of anything else. 

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang berkata, "Tuhan kami adalah Allah" kemudian mereka meneguhkan pendirian mereka, maka malaikat-malaikat akan turun kepada mereka (dengan berkata), "Janganlah kamu merasa takut dan janganlah kamu bersedih hati, dan bergembiralah kamu dengan (memperolehi) syurga yang telah dijanjikan kepadamu.  

(Fussilat: 40)

Urmm, not all of us willing to remain in the right course (meneguhkan pendirian mereka). It is not easy though. May He ease.

With loads of love,
Atikah

University Life

Settling down, InshaAllah.

Thanks

Remember this book? I once put it as one of my wishlists on a blog post. Guess what, I own this book now. Thanks to a good friend of mine, who is generously willing to give this book for me as a present and had to sacrifice a few bucks for the air shipping.

Dear you-know-who-you-are, thanks a bunch. I really really  appreciate it. I pray that Allah will shower you endless happiness and blessings. May Allah grant us all the highest Jannah and reward us in dunya wal akhira.

No words are enough..

With love, hugs and doas,
Atikah.

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

Have you said "Alhamdulillah" today? Alhamdulillah for Allah had chosen us from the zillions of people to worship Him,  to remember Him, while others are sinning and forget Allah totally. The ni'mah of Islam and Iman are the biggest one could ask for. Cliche' isn't it? However, if you really try to reminisce your jahilliyyah and compare them with your current life, I am pretty sure you would be so grateful. Such reminder is often said in almost every thobur (read: assembly) back in Maahad, but I can only feel and fathom this after leaving the school. -.='

After those sombre atmosphere in my life (and my blog too), I am now feel rejuvenated. Seeing my BFF back in Maahad really cheer me up. Last week, I went to a friend's wedding and met a few darlings from Noli Me Tangere, MMP, and KEX'10. On the next day, I spent a whole day with Cals, and managed to spend time with my lovely desk-mates (Adnin, Bibah, Aisyah) Thanks Allah for sending these people for me.

and my family are more supportive than ever when I was having depression. I often found myself sleeping at sister's or mama's rather than my own room, sharing plates and suap-ing each other recently. Not to mention, some fights too. Hahaha.

and I am leaving all these lovelies soon. I'll be surely missing you guys.

So dear Atikah,

 Take care of yourself! you're a big girl now. ( Should I rename the blog to confessions of a BIG girl? :D)

p/s: jagalah hati.

Change of Plan

Change of plan out of sudden. I'm not going there.
