Goa feat Girlfriends

Yay, I'm back. *a round of applause as bg music*

Assalamualaikum peeps. So, here's the thing, I should be doing my editing work instead of writing, but I just can't find the mood to do that. I guess my boss' head is burning inside out due to my delayed progress. For that, I'm sorry big boss, I'll try harder (I'll have it done by tonight #apromisetomyself).

A whole week of holiday had come to an end. A week's time isn't really long and to say that it was spent in vain, would probably be wrong. At the very beginning, I actually planned to explore Mumbai/Bombay, but as time goes by, I felt like I need some time to catch up with the syllabus, what with the crammed theories, I was surely in need of revision. Plus, there's really a countable lectures of which I didn't fall asleep in. So, it's my payback time, for my better future. Then, the idea was denied flatly after taking into account all consequences (mcm byk sgt consequencesnya).

Am still in a process of knowing and understanding myself when I realized, I can't stay in hostel for a week's time! I need to do sth about this! I just can't!
Here comes the middleman : Husna, Ema, Izyan & Hanisah. To cut a long story short, I went to Goa for the second time ,haha. Can't do anything about this since we weren't able to play watersports when we first stepped our feet in Goa. And here goes my Goa journey; Goa feat Girlfriends.


16/10/2017
Woke up in time to prep for the trip. Everything went well except that we didn't get signed permission from he-who-must-not-be-named. To avoid getting scolded and whatnot, we used the Mess' back door and waited for our driver who promised to be there by 7 a.m. 15 minutes passed, 30 minutes passed and the clock struck 8. The owner's excuses include my best driver won't answer calls while driving, my best driver drives very carefully plus his Ramdev Restaurant is "50 minutes" away, how annoying was that. On top of that, our driver came smiling to his ears, maybe in hope that his mistake was going to be forgiven.

And the journey begins. At first, the annoyed us weren't really interested in engaging a conversation with Sakha. But, as clock ticks, we tried to be as friendly as we can. We were taken to Harvalem Waterfall to appreciate one of His best creations while filling up our stomachs. Then, we continued to travel though the tortuous road. No one was badly affected but Bee did act like she was having morning sickness, haha. I'm sorry, dear.

Two rooms were booked in Jacinta's by the beach guesthouse, and the condition were extremely clean, just like what the reviews mentioned. We had our lunch before heading to Baga beach. As per our plan, we should be enjoying watersports on Monday evening. To our surprise, the price was quite expensive in Baga beach, so we decided to take a look at Calangute/Candolim/Anjuna Beach. Nope, they are 3 different beaches okay.

Thus, with the unmistakably ticking clock, we spent our time together, splashing water to each other while watching the beautiful sunset (am still sad because I can't capture the view, blame Hanisah please).







Ended our first day in Goa with a great dinner in a Punjab Restaurant. The funny part is that, our driver was at the opposite side of the road when we came out for our car. He was wearing his eye-catching orange shorts just like before. Funnily enough, with those bright pants (obviously we can spot him in milliseconds) he actually tried waving his phone's torchlight to make his position even more obvious than it should have been. Haih, Sakha (#hgmmgpelik)

17/10/17
Woke up to the knock sounds on the door, performed Subh prayer, had our breakfast before waking up Sakha (he really love sleeping, susah nau nak bangun). We told him to drive us to a non-veg restaurant, he sighed and drove slowly along the road. Out of nowhere, to the thought of delicious puree, we mentioned that we'd also love to have a pure veg breakfast. Sakha was undoubtedly happy and sped up. He really is a loyal, religious guy. (mixed veg & non-veg food is considered haram tau; for them la)

Our next stop was Candolim beach and there we saw the high tides of water with no signs of opened water sports business. Then we made our way to Anjuna beach, which offered water sports at a range of Rs 2200++ for a package of parasailing, dolphin show, jetski ride, banana boat adventurous ride, bumper ride (this one was believed to be the main cause of backache, neck pain and wrist pain as we woke up to our first morning in hostel after the trip). We went there with a group of 6, making the dolphin show a much cheaper experience as we need to rent a whole boat for this. And it is quite advisable to go with pairs; 2,4,6. This is just to ensure that you're not going to be a lone rider.

Details for each activity can be obtained by contacting any of the girls on the trip. I can't bear writing this long post, and it feels like writing an essay, not a blog anymore. Albeit, an unexpected trip isn't always the best, only exceptionally more enjoyable and memorable. Thanks guys. I'm indebted.

Here's to more beautiful pictures, sceneries, reminiscence, shoppings, book-free-days.

Belong

Assalamualaikum everyone :)

It's that time again, when I can't resist writing about myself, though it had never been as interesting as yours, but well, that's me. And I thank God for everything He'd planned for me.

I don't know whether you readers have ever encounter such difficulties. But, fyi, everytime I write my blog posts, the title would be much of a concern. Haha, funny but true guys.

So, tbh the title was chosen because I start to feel that I belong here? Because I don't feel like I'm an outsider anymore? Ah, could it be because I'm beginning to accept my surrounding? Or maybe, just maybe, is it because I felt like I'm finally contributing to this community?

I'll just leave the questions hanging. Since I don't have that much time to write and nag, I'll just share a few of my favourite moments for the past weeks.

Fiqh Medic
Oh, before I "curhat"-ing, I do hope those certain people will not read this post haha. I'll be embarrassed if they do. (even if you're the one I'm referring to, you wouldn't noticed, *evillaugh*)
To begin with, I was one of the FM committee which was one of our successful and biggest events of the year. I was a Protocol committee, and believe me, I've never been one. 19 y/o I am, but the life experiences in between, were obviously insufficient. So, there I was, being new and confused, accepting knowledge passively, until there's only a few days left before the event.

Allah made it easy, okay. I was in a team with Kak Aizaa (yang comel, lembut, baik hati-please don't read this), Naim ( offer KFC tapi tak belanja pun, haih- sorry tergurau kasar that day), Tinah (my babyboo, yang banyak membantu, I'm happy we're in the same team) and Syaz (cucu ceq yang rajin namatey, n terus fit lpas habis program, haha). I'm so blessed to be in this team, and to be able to learn sth new is a definite golden opportunity.
Now I knew, how every smooth events are being handled. BIG LOVE for you guys

kenapa mesti nampak kekedingan itu?
bila nak fit ni? aiyoyo, I is sad

Naim penat design oo

paperbag tu pon ajk protocol buat kay
kraftangan kau jah

happy us

keluarga besar kami

aku post gambar ni, sbb nak cakap,
aku serabut tgok juz tu hah, tu je

Undoubtedly, being a Protocol committee, we should be present earlier than the participants. I almost got a heart attack on our first day of handling FM, because we were supposed to be there at 2;15 (1/2 hour earlier than actual event), but I woke up just to see the clock pointing at 2:30. Adrenaline rushed within me, and luckily I was fast enough to be just a few metres ahead of our guests. Alhamdulillah

There, that's one of the flaws. If you guys happened to not notice that, He really helped us through. Of course, it's nothing big, but I'm just glad for that. 
This is out of topic but always relatable. Even if you see those people around you smiling 24/7, giggling, joking like there's no tomorrow, trust me, there'll be flaws. There'll be times when we can't understand what we're capable of, we can't accept the fact that we're just human beings. Remember, He'll never burden you with sth beyond your sabr limit. Pray and never stop hoping, okay?


I just said that I really should not spend much time on this, haha (you lie to yourself alin)


SPR
Nope, this will be a brief one. As a SPR committee, I can't help being pushed to do the multimedia 'thingy', just because I was involved with it once. Nope, I'm not complaining, but I do have so much to learn to be on the sma elevel as Muhsin, Naim, Kak Sofea, Zuhairy. Thus, I'd like to thank you guys for giving me another chance to prove and improve. May there'll be one day when I can really design like a pro designer, amiinn.

(Nak tengok ''rejected poster"? Haha, mana tak kena reject, lawan Muhsin kot - ibarat kalah sebelum masuk gelanggang bertanding)

ni lah yg kene reject tu, harap maklum hahahahahaha

May the odds be ever in your favour- TEEHEE
