Passion. What's yours?


I always think of myself as a very dull person. If people ask me what I do during my free time, I will most probably say "I don't know ay?".

I used to like reading, but now I can't even finish a book (no matter how interesting the book is). The only reading I do now is for my courses- journal articles etc. 

I think I was into baking for a bit a few years ago. But it got too 'renyah' for me and I would always end up with a dozen of cupcakes with no one to eat it. 

I tried running/jogging, but that did not last. 

I don't really watch TV, I don't even own a TV.

I do like shopping, but I don't have the money to sustain that hobby.

So, what then? What do I like?

So after I did some thinking, I came to the conclusion that cooking is the only thing I never got bored of. I really enjoy being in the kitchen trying out new recipes. I'm not an expert or anything, but I do love it a lot. Whenever I'm stressed out with whatever is going on in my life, cooking never fails to make me feel better. I find 'peace' just being in the kitchen. 

So yep, I guess cooking is my 'thing'. My passion. 

The only problem is, I don't have an audience to try my dishes. I have my housemate, yes, but I think she's a bit bias because I've lived with her for almost 4 years now? She's probably already used to my cooking. Hehe. 

Anyway

Hopefully someday I get to cook for my own family, host parties etc. 

:)

Home soon.

In two days, I'll be going home for good and I am actually feeling quite sad. It's quite funny because when I came here 10 months ago, I did not like this place at all. It's expensive, it's hard to get around, and I kept comparing it with Wellington and how I wished I was in Wellington instead of Sydney. But slowly, I grew to like living here but now I have to come home. Oh well, that's life I guess. Maybe in the future ada rezeki I get to go somewhere else? InshaaAllah.  I'm so not looking forward to go back to work haha. Can I just be a student forever please?

Hypnobirthing

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of the first people I told was a colleague here in UniKL. Her name is Dr. A. I knew her because we had to attend a meeting together at one of the institutes. We were talking about random stuff when I suddenly told her about my pregnancy (I have no idea why I told her). She told me how much she loves the process of being pregnant and urged me to find out about Hypnobirthing/Gentlebirthing. She then told me how she made the decision to give birth to her second child using HVBAC - Home Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (read her story here: My HBVAC Hypnobirth Story   One of the reasons she made this decision was because of her traumatic first child birth experience. She, however, stressed the importance of being well informed about the process of childbirth etc. Anyway, a few days later she emailed me two e-books on gentle birthing and told me that I must read it!  I recently got around to start reading the books she emailed me (Th...

Alhamdulillah

Just a quick post- I just received back my marks for two of my units. Alhamdulillah, I think I did pretty well. I managed to get a Distinction (which is equivalent to an A grade) for Sociology and Education, which is still a huge surprise for me because I sucked at Sociology during my Alevel years (not even kidding, I used to get Cs all the time and my final result for Sociology for Alevels was also a C). Alhamdulillah a Distiction is more than I had expected so I'm very happy! I was actually very worried about this particular unit because the context is very Australian. All my assignments had to do with the Australian education system so I had to learn it from scratch. The unit also only had three on-campus classes and most of the time we had to do a lot of independent learning and listen to online lectures. Anyway, Alhamdulillah I am glad it is over and I did well. As for the other unit (Advanced Pedagogy), I only got a Credit for it (equivalent to a B) but I am st...
