LETTERS TO JULIET
Wednesday, June 4, 2014





After many, many days of irregular sleep, I nearly had to force myself to write something tonight. But I think I'm having writer's block often these days. Sobs. It's hard to put to words what the mind thinks, that's the problem. Hmmm. I'm getting sleepy now but just staying up a bit more so I can sahur and puasa hehe. Goreng telur, kicap and nasik! Hahaha. To hell with that diet. Hiks. 

Anyway, I had that dream again last night granted I was super tired because of my exam. In any case, it was strangeeeee because I want to forget that particular person as soon as possible. But ironically, he keeps appearing in my dreams. So ok, everyone's dealt with it before. I've dealt with it before. And its not all too unfamiliar. Just give me a liitle more time, it should be okay, hopefully. But I know myself better, it won't be that easy, it will take as long as it takes.





Ok, abaikan that crap, have you guys seen Letters to Juliet? I am obsessed. The movie was awesome for two reasons. One, because it was just so super sweet and second, the message of romantic love being timeless was very well portrayed. Hehe.

Another reason for the awesomeness of this movie is, the fact that there was a bit in it discussing about letting go. About how we keep resentment and anger in ourselves over something that has happened in years past. Many people leave imprints on you. No doubt about that. They leave marks where they have been or more precisely, by what they have done. Sometimes, people get over it easy, and sometimes people take years and years to just let it go.


 


So how's that for serious analysis from a movie? Hahaha. Sorryyyy! Hmm. I've been to Verona, Italy few months ago. Just because I want to write to Juliet. Hehe. I am stupid, I know that. But somehow, I am really waiting for their replies. Hahaha. 




Dear Juliet,
How to win over someone that doesn't like you?

 


Hehe. Love is in the air :). Everyone was smiling and the vibe was good. Padlocks and love notes bersepah-sepah! Yours truly pun tak terkecuali untuk join the crowd and letak surat cinta kat situ. Haha. #Justforfun ok. Sila jangan cerca. Only hopeless romantics would leave love notes to Juliet and I'm one of them. Hehe. Haih. Assignment punya lah liat nak buat, bab-bab ni kau laju je kan! Hahaha.





So this is the place of William Shakespeare's romantic love tragedy, Romeo & Juliet. The courtyard was really packed, full of tourists. One could barely move around. But, I can spot Nini from here, hahaha Hi Nini!

A visit to Verona is not complete without seeing Casa Di Giulietta, or kalau nak senang, panggil je Juliet's house. Hehe. It must be on the check-list if you are going to Verona.





And a lot of people here having their picture taken with Juliet's left breast in their hand for good luck in love katanyaa! Hahaha. Pelik-pelik je manusia kan. Khurafat sangat. Tapi memang that part a bit clean, sebabbbb it has been polished by all the visitors who have rubbed it haha. Soooo inappropriate!




Fida was here. Hehe.







Can you see my pink letter inside the letterbox? Hehe. Dear Juliet, please reply me...




And lastly, a postcard to my family back home.

VENICE IN PASTEL
Friday, May 30, 2014





At times like these, I want to travel, travel and perhaps... travel some more.





So hmmm, I somehow looking for the pictures of Venice again today. Just because it is very healing and it got my pulse racing. I miss the place, strangely. I suppose I would, given that my second visit some time in April this year, I was determined to take the gondola ride which I can't afford during my first visit in 2012. 20€ per pax but trust me, it is definitely worth every euro. An experience not to be missed. Expensive, yes. But worth it, absolutely!





And this postcard is sooo lovely. Don't you think? I love the pastel painting on this postcard, hence I bought one.





Well, the trip has been eventful. I've seen the most beautiful scenery, alhamdulillah.

I heart you, Venice!

And see you again this summer! Hehehe.

Here's to an awesome, awesome trip!

Last but not least, good morning good people :)

WHEN IN ROME
Wednesday, April 23, 2014





When in Rome...
I've been pick-pocketed! Hmm.

But...there's no need to over-react la kot. Benda dah nak jadi. My abah selalu positive and he told me everything happens for a reason. And thank God, I wasn't attacked nor injured. I just lost the mobile phone. And at least it wasn't my passport or credit cards or cash. Will explain in details later if time permits but for now I must admire these people who do this as their trade. Years of practice, they are quick and less likely to be caught. I hate you!




So they stole the pink Nokia phone and THAT WASN'T MINE. Sobs. And I had problems with my Samsung Note, it won't turn on! Dah lama dah benda ni jadi lepas balik from London after UKEC event. Early April kot or end March? Entahlah. Lets just forget the apps and the smartphone for a month. Hehe. Since then I had to use my friend's phone just to make and receive calls. Back to basic. Sobs. And all I want now is my whatsapp! Hahaha. Sunyinya hidup tanpa  talipon pintar uols. So yes, sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga, sekarang people can only contact me via FB or Skype je. Sepi... sepi aku sendiri. Tunggulah 2 May nanti, I'll make a comeback with my new smart phone all the way from Malaysia. Thanks mommy! Hehe. And all that shines really is GOLD. Hiks. Everything happens for a reason, remember? Haha.





Do I really love ROMA? Maybe NOT! I hate Roma before (my first trip in 2012) and I hate Roma now. But ironically I'll be going to Rome again this summer. Sobs. My brother is coming to town so kena teman dia tengok Colosseum again. And kali ni hopefully dapat pergi Vatican City, the World's smallest state. 




So what happened in ROME stays in ROME, ok? Hehe. Received a card from a random guy named Leo and yes the men are all good looking in Roma. Haha. He gave me this and and dia cakap "whatsapp me if you want to have some fun tonight". Kataaanya. MOTIF??? Rasain lorh, aku ni handphone pun takde, whatsapp apatah lagi. Hahaha. Crazy, they just approach random people for fun? Sobs. Ingatkan dekat Birmingham ni je orang macam tak kesah mintak phone number from strangers that you meet on the street! Cray cray the world we live in nowadays. 




COLOSSEUM ROMA, ITALY


See you again ROMA in June. Please be nice to me the next time we meet ok baby?

And last but not least, please enjoy Bulan Ditutup Awan by Yuna. Love love love this song. On my repeat mode at the mo.





Kini engkau pergi jauh membawa diri
Tinggal daku seorang dalam sunyi sepi

Nun bulan ditutup awan
Terkenang hati bertambah rawan

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - KOSONG!
Wednesday, July 3, 2013






My friend asked me;

"Fida, bukan sangat ramai orang ke kat Trevi Fountain ni, macam mana you boleh sorang-sorang je kat sini"

And I answered;

"Of course ramai gile orang tapi I suruh ketepi. Hehe."

Hahhaha. Well...

Hmmm... Kosong la sekarang ni.

Kosong kosong kosong!

So empty.

And youuuuu I hate you. :(
