Apologies!

I'm really sorry for not have blogged for quite some time. I'm currently busy with my university projects. And also things that I didn't expect to happen.

I barely have any time for myself!

InsyaAllah i'll update soon.

Salam. Hope you are all well!

3rd Month Anniv.

Happy 3rd Month Anniversary to you sayang. It's been a wonderful journey. Looking forward to more wonderful months ahead.

I miss you.

Thank you for the love.

Hi all. Hope you're all doing good. I apologise for not updating recently. Been really busy with my work. As you all know, parents have been around for two weeks. They flew back to Malaysia last monday. As we speak, my brother is en route to Birmingham from Dubai. Can't wait!

Anyway it's been a brilliant journey. I was kinda depressed for a bit through the weeks. It was really heavy. A burden i don't think i could explain in words. But Alhamdulillah Allah hasn't given up on me. Syukur.

Apart from that it's been wonderful. Now am working on 4-5 briefs at the same time. Got two done. Need to get the others done QUICK. So i'll post something soon ok? :)

Take Care! And EID MUBARAK. AIDIL ADHA to all Muslims around the world. May our sacrifices have a great meaning to us all.

Salam.

I don't need one.

I just need Allah. Right now more than ever, cause I'm about to burst.

Ya Allah, help.

A little too soon.

Heyy. Sorry for the lack of updates. Been caught up with Uni work and
parents. They've been around for a week or so. Heading back to KL on
Monday. Sure am going to miss them here in the UK. :'(

I'm trying not to get too attached. Cause it's difficult if i am. It
gets too emotional. But anyway I've done this before. Insyaallah it
should be ok. And besides. A few moths more and I'll be home. :)

Other than tonnes of Uni work that needs doing, we've been shopping
alot. I hope not too much. Alhamdulillah we're still given the leisure
and opportunity. We'll be in Manchester tmrw for Old Trafford and
sightseeing. Belfry Golf Course before that.

Sad news. Allahyarhamah Wan Pulau as she was called by us grandkids
passed away today Malaysian time. She's not been in the best of
conditions the past few months. I've had the chance of talking and
joking with her when it was Eid. May Allah bless your soul and your
family. Insyaallah. Inalillah. From Our Lord we came, to Him we return.

It's 3am in the morn. A little knackered from doing Ads. 2 briefs done
by Monday. And a presentation for Tuesday. I'm praying hard so I get
through really well. Amin.

Ya Allah, I pray for success and please ease my burdens. Amin. Ya
rabbal al Amin.

Really not me.

Ya Allah, akulah hamba mu yang lemah. Di waktu yang senang ku memanggil nama-Mu. Di saat yg susah juga ku memanggil nama-Mu.

Ya Rabbi, aku mohon dari Mu apa yang di mohon oleh mereka yang lemah dan di saat keperluan. Janganlah Engkau larikan dari aku apa yang aku perlu. Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim. Aku mohon dari-Mu pertolongan. Agar Engkau meringankan bebanku dunia dan akhirat insyaAllah.

Akulah hamba-Mu yang lemah. Allahumma La Sahla, Illa Ma Ja'Al Tahu Sahla. Wa'an Tataja 'Alul Hasna Syik Ta Sahla Ya Allah.

I've got only four weeks to finish up my first semester. Things are looking really slow. Oh my Lord, please.

Amin

Happy Birthday Hilmi =]

Alhamdulillah. Praise be to Allah. I've lived 21 years and now
stillgoing strong. Many achieved, loved and more to come.

Thank you all foe the well wishes. May God bless you all. This year's
birthday came pretty swiftly. Unfortunate my brother and girlfriend
couldn't b here to celebrate. Next year perhaps?

Anyway, had a good day in Harrods today. Terrible dinner at 'Jom
Makan'. They are so unfriendly and food was disgusting. Not even
saying thank you for our patronage and tips we gave? Too much there.

Anyway Oxford Street awaits tmrw. Maybe Westfield as well. Received a
wonderful present from papa and mama. Thank you for the beautiful
family heirloom (I consider). It will stay with me till my sons. :)

Happy 21st Birthday to me!!

Project PapaMamaIra.

Hey! Cheers from London. Am blogging straight from my phone. Currently
papa, mama and ira are all asleep. Jet lagged? Hehe. I've got some
work to do. Maybe till about 11pm, I'll get to bed. :) anyway it's
nice having them around. Feel rather warm although the weather's
pretty cold and harsh today.

They even got through the checkpoint nicely alhamdulillah. Rendang,
Dendeng you name it. Woooh. She cooked it the day before and packed it
for me. Thanks Ma. We had rendang and toasted bread for dinner. In the
middle of London? What more can I ask for? :)

The bus trip to Heathrow was ok. Had these old couple behind me
talking about their travels and how this airport and that airline
screwed their trip. Fascinating. Haha. Had the earphones plugged most
of the time anyway. From Birmingham to Banbury to Heathrow. 2hrs
45mins. Woooh. Tiring that is.

That's all for Day 1. Will update more soon. Oxford street?
Knightsbridge? Covent Garden? Here I come!

Sushi Sunday!

Had loads of fun today! Bari and Yin travelled down from Stafford and the three of us made sushi together. Not only that, Tempura seafood and Salmon Teriyaki! It was quite a feast. We didn't even finish the first set. And there was another pot of sushi rice boiling. We're aching in agony now. Stomach full of food!

Alhamdulillah we've also settled a few things regarding LensaMata. The three of us decided to get together and combine our photography styles. Each of us contributing a little bit and insyaAllah we'll have a working photography agency of three people doing weddings, events and even potraits. Stay tuned for more info!

Parents are coming tomorrow! Excited? Of course. I've still got a ton of work to do. But in my heart I know that He above knows best. He must have something planned for me. InsyaAllah. Like they say " Bismillahi Tawakkaltu Allallah" Tawakkal. I've written a whole post on tawakkal. Which means to do your best and Allah will do the rest.

Anyway I've got to take the coach to the Airport tomorrow. 2 1/2 hour journey?! What WILL I be doing on the bus. Making sure every eletronic is charged, clothes packed and sort. I'll be in London for the next few days with my parents and sister Ira. They'll be here to celebrate my birthday. Oui? Haha. I'm turning 21 this coming wednesday! Excited? Very. I've not celebrated my birthday for quite some time now. Been away and of course, at some point it never became of any importance. So yeah. But this year it's different. And I am thankful to Allah for providing me with such beautiful parents and siblings. Beautiful friends and a wonderful girlfriend who is FAR FAR away. Can't wait to celebrate my 22nd with her next year.

Anyway I'm calling it a night. Really knackered. Gotta finish up packing and I should be well on my way. Please pray for my success. I really need all that i can get. It's not easy Final Year. But not impossible insyaAllah.

salam. And have a wonderful week!

p.s: ill be in London, so i MIGHT not be able to blog properly. I might do entries from the iPhone. Stay tuned ;)
