It has been a while since I last updated my blog.But I don't think it matters because it just has a few readers.
The entry I posted before were written in Malaysia, and now it seems everything's happening too fast that I'm now in London, studying in Imperial College London, pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering and yet still struggling to improve my English.
Yeah, despite the fact that I already have a very tight schedule- 9am to 6pm - I take up English classes to help me to be more fluent in speaking and writing, which is on every Thursday ends at 8pm. I just hope that it's gonna be worthwhile. I like the teacher, very helpful and supportive. I remembered there was a time when I got almost all corrects for my grammar-preposition-fill-in-the-blank questions and he said to me "you sure can do it while you close your eyes, huh?". He even said that he should put me in other group since he saw me completed the exercise that he gave us. Well I guess if I want to improve myself, I am the one who should put lots of effort to realise it.
I think nothing much to say about London because I myself haven't been to many places in London yet. Why? Well I guess the answer is that because I don't really have friends to accompany me to go sightseeing. I admit that I'm not good at making friends and to make it worst, I am the only malay girl in my batch who's studying in ICL. Nothing to boast about. I am still holding tight to my faith that there's a blessing in disguise. Lots of questions are playing in my mind such as why am I destined to be alone here in London when in fact I'm not that good in socializing, why am I destined to have a roommate who doesn't have any religion when in fact I myself do not have a good understanding in my religion, why am I destined to be in Imperial when in fact I'm not that intelligent?
My sister told me to let this moment to define me of who I am and for me to discover my inner strength, but as days passed by, I still haven't discover anything. I find myself boring, what even to know what others think about me. I refuse to go to most of the events because I think I have no one close to me for me to go with. Plus, I am worried sick about my English. Can you imagine someone who is not good at socializing being stuck in the middle of the crowd with her bad English? How I hope my sister is here with me but then if she is, I will never learn how to be independent.
Yeah so I can say that everything is like a whole new experience to me, be it enjoyable or depressing. I hope it can make me a stronger and better person in future. Wishing myself the best of luck, I would like to quote on several lines from two songs- Stand by rascal Flatts and Beautiful Day by India Arie
Beautiful Day by India Arie
Life is a journey
Not a destination
There are no mistakes
Just chances we've taken
Lay down all your regrets because all we have is now
Wake up in the morning
and get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all the things that I am grateful for
Early in the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
I'm gonna do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on the mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you've got something to prove
remind yourself that there's only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks for who you are
Stand by Rascall Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture in a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
'Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
'Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before it's gone
Start holding on
Keep holding on
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
