"...the questions that probably run through your mind would be, 'What's next?' , 'How do I proceed with my life right now?'... " Nur said. "Those are genuine questions that a lot of people asked after being in a long-term relationship , after they have invested all of their time , all of their effort , and they have expressed all of their love for that particular person. They have cared for that person for so long." Ustaz Mizi responded. In my case, it's not a person. It's a long term relationship I have been in for the past 15 to 16 years. A relationship that has formed quite a substantial part of me. I have sacrificed my time, my energy, and even my love life (?) for it.  ... (Okay I'm not really sure about the last one - well, when I was in school I don't think that a love life is necessary anyway, and knowing my 'easily distracted' self, I think it would probably bring more harm than good to my studies huehue) Funnil...

Pepohon cintaku kian merimbun Semakin dicantas makin bertunas Tidak mampu mendustai hatiku Rasa cinta fitrah manusia Have you ever felt so restless, having someone at the back of your mind almost all the time? Have you ever wondered about how someone is doing almost every single second? Have you ever felt like you wanted to meet someone so badly, though you have just met them recently?

Denial, I said, as you started to find reasoning or excuses behind everything that you're feeling;  “Ahh, that can’t be it, I haven’t known him for long.” “Ahh, maybe I’m ...

I have a thing for movies or series that are adapted based on real-life stories. Frankly speaking, those are the only things that I am interested in watching; for some reason, I'm not really into fiction nowadays. During my first week of self-quarantine, I was caught up with watching this series which is inspired by real-life personal essays from the New York Times column, 'Modern Love'. I think the first episode is still my favourite, it was about a relationship between a girl who was living alone, and a doorman with a fatherly figure. The second one was good too, though I admire the chemistry between the interviewer and the interviewee itself more than their personal love stories. But that episode made me realise that there is actually no time limit in forgetting someone who used to be so dear to you. I hate to break it to you (or maybe to myself) that it basically takes...ermm.... Forever 😌 The girl in the third episode, Lexi (Anne Hathaway), kind of re...
