Kuala Lumpur

Home; shot by yours truly.

Living through homesickness, still learning how to cope. One important lesson learnt is that at its core, it's about feeling secure. Funny how this only occurred to me last night, at 3 a.m. just as I was forcing my eyes to shut after revising for my final paper this morning. I have developed a bad habit of idealizing my old life, forgetting about all the annoying little things that came with it and I realized that this attitude has kept me from appreciating what I have in the present. This is a tough thing to get through but I know that understanding homesickness goes a long way toward learning how to be independent. Baby steps, Fayra.



Being apart from my family honestly sucks.

Stumbled upon this place with daddy and younger sister, FAM while we were wandering around. Couldn't help but notice how most eateries in Kuala Lumpur have really well thought-out interiors nowadays, almost seemed like they were built for Instagram shots. But in all honesty though, I personally feel that more attention could be paid to the food quality – who wouldn't want maximum value for money right? FAM and I roamed around and took advantage of the classic black and white checkered floors and the whole setting of the place itself before heading to Quiznos for early dinner. Maybe I should start incorporating reviews on food and cafés on my blog. Suggestions, anyone?

Faith

No matter how much of a burden you feel that you are to those around you, take a step back to think and to breathe. Do not pull yourself even further down into that dark place where your thoughts fight more viciously than they did before. No pain comes to you without a purpose. Restore your complete tawakkal in Him so that you rely on Him alone. The harder the test, the greater the reward. But always remember that you are being taken care of by Ar Rahman, Himself. Allah knows what is in every heart. Trust in Him for He knows best.
