A sums up of summer

Well, new year has come and I've moving on to my final 3-2 weeks of summer classes. It was daunting at first. Starting the classes I felt almost at my lowest point. It was my first time being almost totally alone and far away from all I knew. Most of my friends have gone on holiday or back home for summer, and I had almost no one to turn to. Yes, it did get really boring and lonely on some days. Even going online was a mood killer cause I'd feel so low once I see or hear one of my friends enjoying themselves and/or doing the stuff that I should be doing if I didn't stupidly fail my maths in my first year.

But I coped I guess and learn to deal with my situation. I tried to stop thinking about what has passed, and I am working harder and concentrating more on my work. I actually understand what the lecturer is saying in the lectures compared to before. Alhamdullillah, the results of my first two maths class tests came in and I got 9/10 for both of them which is something I'd never thought possible. Maybe its the monotonous work reminiscent of high school brunei days. Maybe its the lighter work schedule. Maybe its the fact that I'm spending time away from people who depress me. Maybe its because I'm praying more. Maybe its all of that or none. But, whatever it is, its working for the best.

And when I think on the positive side, summer is not that bad. I actually more independant which is what I wanted when I moved over here, and I actually got to experience Sydney at some of its greatest times of the year (xmas, boxing day and new year). And I'm also so lucky that Miza and Laila, my two other friends who are stuck here in sydney, are such good sports. I travelled more and did more spontaneous stuff than with any of the other friends. Life's not meant to be spent waiting around for something to happen, and I've think I've finally understood that.

I'd like to thank Miza and Laila for keeping me company during these pass weeks. Thank you for all those random outings, rants, compulsive baking, beach combing, dog scaring, train tunnel suffocation, chair falling, bus backbiting moments that made what would have been a most stressful time for me more torable than I ever thought it would be. I'd also like to thank MsSixOhSIx for keeping me company on the net. Having someone layaning me for once is such a welcome change. Hope u are enjoying ur well deserved holiday in Brunei...or Singapore...or wherever. haha.

Anyways, sorry no pictures in this post. Pictures take too long to upload. I leave you with some art from a comic that I've been working on for awhile. Yeah, if you didnt know, I am an engineer who loves art. I'm gonna start putting some of my artwork here, cause it shows a little bit more of who I am. hehe, enjoy and assalamualaikum.
