The Main Quad

so this is the main building of my uni (this view is taken from Paih's phone while waiting for my class to finish), and it's on the uni's logo..the name of our online student portal is also originally related to this building, Portico. which i Googled, means ..

A portico (from Italian) is a porch leading to the entrance of a building, or extended as a colonnade, with a roof structure over a walkway, supported by columns or enclosed by walls. - Wikipedia

i am, obviously, so excited with all this old building as my Monash building was totally different from these classic 1800s building...  wait till i take more pictures of the Cruciform building, which is now our library..and again, it is totally something to be excited about since it is a 24-hour operating library, yeayy!! (not that i will be there day and night, but the idea of unlimited access to books and knowledge somehow excites me)..

i am yet to take couple pic with Paih in front of these wonderful building! will wait till the crowd is less on campus..

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

Albert Einstein
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)

That was on the first slide today during our intro week.. a lot to share, honestly..but still a little bit overwhelmed with this whole room/studio searching thoughts.. 

the thought about 'is this the right decision?' kept lingering my mind every time our search failed. i kept thinking about the comfort zone we were in back in our own country, with good pay checks, reasonable power of purchase..suddenly, we became like 'err..that'll cost us 1pound extra!'.. so yeah, until we've found a good place to stay, i think i will keep on worrying about our decision..not that i regret this path, but..doubting our ability to stay strong.. 

leaving everything behind.. we sacrificed.. hopefully for a better future...insyaAllah..

hopefully i can soon say, 'apart from the hassles of house-hunting, London is great' like other bloggers (including balqis's fav blogger) had mentioned hundreds of times before.. i'm not alone, every newcomers found this house hunting very depressing (unless you have unlimited financial source)... 

Packing is hard..so many things to keep, yet so little space to take..

Patut ke tak bawak bear-bear ni?

Patut ke tak bawak bedsheets?

Patut ke tak bawak iron sendiri?

Patut ke tak bawak A4 paper?

It wasnt this hard last time.. Tapi siapa kata jalan ini mudah kan? 

Bercampur pula tenaga sekarang tak sebanyak tenaga ketika remaja dulu.. I'm aging! 

Wishing us all the luck in this world...

My new 4 apps! Excited la jugak sikit-sikit kan.. Risau sebab takut setahun tak cukup masa nak live my dreamlife.. 

Saya berangan nak dating-dating kat park sambil study..

Saya berangan nak visit all the famous places with Paih...

Saya berangan nak capture the moments  dalam susah senang kami mencapai cita-cita..

Dan akhir sekali harapan kami menggunung untuk bergambar bersama dengan graduation robe and hat.. InsyaAllah.. 

Jalan ini tidak mudah...
