Back From Turkey!

-
Assalamualaikum and a happy new year, everyone! I hope 2020 blesses you and your family with happiness and success!

I have returned to Malaysia after our long travel around Turkey, and I've actually been back Wednesday night so this post is a bit overdue. I needed to regain my energy a bit before writing a little summary of our trip. I've missed being home where it's warm, but my A/C decided to be warmer than usual so we'll hopefully get that fixed. Also, I'm only two days away from my admission to college! How exciting yet nerve-wracking.

In a span of 14 days, my parents, Yusuf and I had travelled across over 10 provinces of Turkey, stayed in 7 beautiful locations, and travelled almost 2,500 kilometres in total from Istanbul to Ankara. The trip had taught us many things as Turkey was a nation rich with history, from when it was under the control of Greeks, to the Byzantine Era, to the Ottoman Empire and to the beginning of the Republic of Turkey. This country also has a lot of natural beauty to offer, though I believe the view can be different according to seasons.

Of course there were a few things that didn't go as planned due to unavoidable circumstances, but we managed to negotiate around it and found our way to have fun!

Sorry for this short post. I'm still packing for college, so maybe I'll post my first day tomorrow night! Assalamualaikum and have a good year, everyone!

Assalamualaikum, friends! Today is Sunday. one day right after the end of my induction programme in my new college, KYUEM! That's right. I'm officially a college student now. I'll tell you everything about it (except for the things that should be kept secret from future juniors!). Tuesday morning, my parents and I hauled all my stuff into the boot of the car. Only my parents went with me because it was 6.30 in the morning, my brother was asleep and my grandparents would go see me later in the week. It wasn't too dark outside as we departed. Lembah Beringin was about over an hour from Bangi, so we expected to arrive at around 8 - 8.30am. Along the way, I took some shut eye and we stopped for breakfast at an R&R. I ate nasi lemak and took a soya bean milk. I didn't feel too nervous actually, but I was hoping that I gain some friends this week. Then we continued on the road and arrived around 8.40am. There were already a lot of people - seniors, juniors, paren...

Oh, How I Love Books!

Assalamualaikum and welcome again! Thank you all for reading this post. Today I'd like to write about my hobbies (mainly about how I love to read and write). If you view my complete profile, I have many interests. But all of them come from books. Storytelling, reading, writing, maths, science, mystery, adventure, even travelling, all come from books. Well, let me do this one-by-one. Why do I like books? I don't like them, of course, but I LOVE them! So, why? I love books because it's fun to read. Well, I prefer fictional books over facts, but non-fictional (which are facts) books are very interesting. I love reading mystery and adventurous books with mind-boggling puzzles and riddles. I even kept a book about spies, breaking codes, and even a book about how to code and decode. I also love the adventurous books written by the famous authors Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl. My father recommended to me a couple of books written by Dan Brown and my mother's friend onc...
