Of hiatus and obsession.

So here's the thing.

I still write, to, you know, vent my feelings out and stuff. But not here. Because I promised to write about my super duper awesome Eurotrip earlier this year. But unfortunately, no matter how I tried, I'm no mrnzmi, who could tell about a trip of two or three days in just one post. I'm just a Nadiah who needs a freakishly long post just about one trip day.

So I reverted my Day #1 trip post back to draft and when I have the time (hopefully) to finish all eight day of it, I'll post all of them. Insya-Allah.

Anyway, it's the time of the semester when I could actually compose a proper blog post; i.e. the start of the semester. It's the end of my first week and still no assignments. Woohoo! Anyway, I'm still behind in some of the courses and I sure need to catch up. I already have my personal tutor for thermodynamics and a new friend in two of my other subjects, so Insya-Allah I'm going to make things right again.

So, what's up with me? I haven't post anything here since the last semester, true. I've been writing on my personal tumblr, also not so much because last semester was definitely hectic. It was like a tornado-kind-of-semester, you know? Everything was literally everywhere. Blergh. I certainly do not wish to remember that semester.

During my semester break, I embraced my inner-mermaid-self and went to Redang Island in Terengganu and stayed, for the first time, at the ever-so-gorgeous Laguna Resort. Sure, it's a bit expensive than Redang Reef, but if you are a foodie, just like my family, Laguna is your food heaven on Earth. I gained a few kilos just by staying there for only four days. Went diving, after a year of absence from the underwater world. I'm still proud to say that I still managed to set up my tank and descended without any problems. I've missed spending my time in the under(water) world. And Insya-Allah, I'll make time for more diving trips after this. I also got a temp tattoo, those airbrush ones? Yeah, that one and went sun-tanning (or sunburning myself, tbh) afterwards. So now, I have a tan-tattoo! Haha, I feel awesome.

Also, I'm taking up playing guitar and thanks to my Dani, I don't have to buy a new guitar since he lent me one of his. I may need to spend on new guitar strings but that's it, I guess? And yes, the tip of my fingers stings. Right now also, even when I last played it yesterday. This hobby is using the "pain before gain" concept, literally.

What else? Okay, here's one thing. I'm hunting for Divergent's series books with minimal cover version. I am definitely crazy about minimal book cover design and upon knowing that Divergent series actually have minimal book cover design, I'm hunting for one. I saw one box set of it at Borders and until now, I haven't seen any at Popular or even MPH. Sigh.

So I guess that's it for this time. I'll try to make time to write here from time to time to improve my already-rustic writing skills. So till next time, bye!
