Grateful

It’s autumn now. I have experienced two season apparently. The first one was summer back in May 2007 where that was my first time touching UK. I have been here for 5 months now. Alhamdulillah, the journey is getting better day by day. Although in the beginning I was so sad to leave hometown and missing my family and friends so much, I managed to control it now. Well, I still feel it though but it isn’t as strong as before. I am a person who has capability to ignore any unwanted distractions in my head I reckon. I never thought I would be here, apatah lagi nak kerja di sini. Long long time ago I used to dream of going to oversea so much. Why? Because when you’re coming home, there will be lots of people celebrating you at the airport and it makes you are the man of the day hahaha. Isn’t that funny? I just felt like He, The Almighty has granted my dream. It is so unbelieveable. Sometimes you just don’t realize your wish has actually come to reality until you sit down, think back of what you’ve dreamt of before.

Couple of days ago someone came to the house to do the inspection. They normally do it quarterly but somehow it has been 6 months they haven’t done any. Hence, don’t be surprised to see my room is neat and tidy hehe. In fact, I always wanted my room to be neat. In a few weeks time, I thought I wanted to decorate my room a little bit. Not major decoration. Just something to lighten up the room. Maybe a few framed photographs on the wall would be nice? We’re about to see it soon. Haven’t printed any photographs yet but I heard in here, the standard print size is 5R where in Malaysia, it is 4R size isn’t it? That could make such a different. I always loved to see photographs with big print!

The weather three days ago was so fine. I couldn’t even say anything other than enjoy the warmth. I was on my way to the shop when I saw the sun was about to fall. It was so beautiful. I’m glad I got this shot. In fact, the shot would have been better if I had telephoto lense. Nevertheless, I always learn and try my best to make use of any equipments I have although my heart always says “I wish I had this and that”. But when I think back, I just realize how lucky I am to have such a great tool to capture anything I want rather than have nothing at all? I always remember this quote – “Always look down if you think you’re unfortunate and look up when you’re succeed”. It means, if you look down, you will see there are a lot more people are suffering than you can ever imagine and when you look up, He, The Almighty will always remain number one. I have to say, we should be grateful then.

Just before I end, I would love to share this photo where my niece Arisha fell asleep at Tesco. If only I had her video recorded. Those two are her brothers.

Love,
