the short wanderer

"I am just... not feeling good about today" "Today is just an odd day..." "...I think it's just generally this week" Kindly ignore this post if you're looking for something insightful to read. This exists just because I will probably die out of writing starvation if I do not keep myself engaging with my mental therapy session Well, I am not planning to rant about the things that didn't work out on that particular week  like not finishing my reading for tutorial, having less sleep, having to not remember to bring my laptop for a practical, having to missed a weekly review session with our second year tutor and so on,  but for sure my buoyant force for that whole week was getting smaller as each day passed that it was really hard to stay afloat. I, being the egoistic girl I have always been, had no idea how bad it was getting into me, until the day my buoyant force might have turned into zero, and even the water in my pool of tears was h...

It's that season again - the season of waiting anxiously for university offers for A-Levels and IB students aka UK prospective students! Being surrounded by these future undergraduates, I cannot help myself from not being anxious about the offers too!  I don't really know how does it feel to wait for such a long time for an offer since I only applied for three universities and I actually got my most anticipated offer in November, so...I can say it didn't really get into me that much, alhamdulillah.

Another break of the term, another place to discover. After comparing flight deals for a few places to go during our winter break, we finally settled for Prague, which I believe wasn't a bad idea at all. Instead, we loved it so much that both my partner and I agreed that we had a really chill and exciting moment while travelling this time, alhamdulillah. If you haven't heard of this city before, you might be wondering what is there to see in Prague? (or you might even wonder where Prague is in the first place haha) Prague is not a country, but it's a capital and the largest city of a European country named Czech Republic. Sounds not familiar? Czech Republic or 'Česká republika' in Czech language, is located between Germany and Hungary in Central Europe (at least that's the way I explained it to my family, hihi) Why don't I say between Germany and Slovakia ? Well, read more below to find out ;) Česko or CR was a part of Czechoslovakia, or '...
