as always, one night, one moment i'm inspired.. always happened after midnight.. here it goes~

bila minda bermain kata

self always wants to make sense of everything
self believes impossible is nothing
one question came up: to what extend? who am i to reach the sky?..

my initial thought: i wasn't good enough
not good enough to pat myself
then, i realized
my deepest fear is not that i'm inadequate
my deepest fear is the power beyond imagine
the power once unleashed comes with a big responsibility
the attention that requires constant perfection..

will i be able to put up with that?
will i then fear of being inadequate?

i am the person who always finishes everything she started
the next question raised: will i start this new journey?
the journey where there is possibly no ending..

i've been a student for 17 years
there were always exams towards the end of each academic year
how about in real life? as a worker?
will i be the type of worker that stays in one job until she retired?
will i be that person who chose comfort over self-satisfaction?

fear nothing
except the feeling of fear itself
the feeling of fear within that holds you back

normally i keep my 'special' poem-like thoughts
write it down in my 'special' book
decided to share it tonight :)

alahai... seminggu udah ku di Brunei... parutku kekajutan dengan makanan-asli-brunei-yg-penuh-minyak-&-berkrem...

aku mau makan banarnya.. tapi tu parutku inda dapat menerima.. makan sikit udah tah kan meluah balik..

contohnya, malam minggu.. Arifin bawa aku ke birthday party kawannya.. kami dine-in di Rizqun.. beberapa suap udah ku nda tahan... mau tau how serious??? aku kan nangis rasanya, kan muntah ani bah..

Arifin inda dapat antar aku balik sal kami ikut urang... jadinya terpaksa ku talipun driverku, bawa aku balik... alahai~

arini, aku cuba amalkan makan setiap sejam setangah atau 2 jam.. makan makanan ringan macam raisin bread.. wholemeal bread sama avocado... minum byk2 aing (ada masanya aku minum ampat butul 1.5L)

alhamdulillah baik lah rasanya sikit.. mesti ku amalkan cara2 permakanan ku di Australia ke Brunei... in other words.. AKU-MESTI-MASAK!!! hmmm.. liatlah sejauh mana "permikiranku" macam ani bertahan..

Dahriah + Cooking = don't get along well

it just kicked in..

i've finished my degree.. last Monday 15/6 i had my last paper... so my return to Brunei is for good now, InsyaAllah..

so, i'm going to edit my side profile... no longer currently in Perth, etc...

also, my attitude at the moment is more relax.. i don't really push my extremely-punctual-pain-in-the-ass style... i am still, but more controlled version... no rush... it's not like i'm going anywhere right?.. hahah

so yeah.. chill~

yesterday

referring to my previous post "diet malfunction".. i had to do my version of groceries shopping

gotta have muesli.. i bought wheatbix the other already :)

so mom and i ordered dry penang noodles... and guess what? these was given~ hahaha.. (ani ganya kan di makan ka??) wawawa

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmyyy!!!!

the things that always makes me smile

Today

i started my 'normal' meal today :)

the outcome

late afternoon today, my tummy was really upset... i didn't have anything to snack on.. plus i haven't consume a whole lot of fibre.. in Perth, i've consumed at least 30g of fibre.. in Brunei?? not sure 5-10g??

so i was hunting for BrownBread.. no luck.. i only managed to get RaisinBread and WholeMeal..

p/s WholeGrain is way better than WholeMeal.. and boy i miss my brown bread :S

UWA was the only available option for me.. little that i know UWA is the best university in Western Australia... alhamdulillah

UWA has the best science department in Perth

UWA is the favourite spot for newly weds to do photoshoot

the path to my department

the gym

new building for the reception and few new offices for the staffs

another new building specially build for exercise physiologists

the mini lounge area

aquatic area

where i shredded so many tears, so many memories

through the new reception

lecture theaters

the student that was 'always' used an example in nutrition and weight training topics

it is time to end my journey..

the final countdown

owh yes, my new lovely sweet friend (only been friends for few days) Twinkle asked me to dress up.. she asked me to do so because i've never dressed up in college..

Ning, Dahriah, Nurul

i felt like a celebrity.. seriously~ they made me feel so important and special.. gosh why did i waste time trying to befriend with that mean heartless girl...

but one thing for sure i left perth with beautiful memories and wonderful friends in my heart
