Edinburgh

So on today's replacement class (today's Sunday btw.... what is life) of Science Nutrition class, my lecturer Dr Yati asked me about Edinburgh because it was included on her UK trip since she's going to UK for her son's graduation. I had a quick memory lapse of flashbacks of all the good times we had there.

It was a very beautiful, old but classy, and basically represent Scotland as a country, since Edinburgh was the capital of the country. Those pavements made out of big blocks almost make you felt like living in history, and the whole city architecture was brilliantly put together, creating this whole timeless effect.

Edinburgh was the first city that we went, at exactly the day after we landed at Scotland. When I looked back at those pictures, I sense a small silly grin on my face, because of how gloomy the weather was when we when. Haha. Typical Scotland weather, I tell you.

Of course, some picture to share. (note that the pic I share in this blog is an exclusive peek, I didnt post it elsewhere in social media because I am a very reserved person hehe)

On our way to Edinburgh! It takes around two hours of  journey down south from Dundee. But the journey was amazing with green view and white spots of sheeps. So cute 

Edinburgh city

Edinburgh castle, a must place to visit when you're there:) note the gloomy weather haha

Us and Edinburgh city


The sound of Scotland, Bagpipes. 

So many souvenir shops around city, at reasonable price and of good quality too. But best if you go to different shops first before buying so you'll end up with a good deal 

Halal shop was so easily accessible around the city (and UK too generally) we even have variety of selections to pick from, such rare situations in muslim-minority countries I think.
 And during our second visit to Edinburgh, we finally see bits of sunshine. Yayy
Look more alive, isnt it? 
Hills, stairs, pavements. Walk until your feet sore

The Princess Street
As for activities, not so much to do rather than sightseeing, so Farah being the experienced one suggested the Dungeon, sort of haunted house, but instead of house, it's prisoner's dungeon (which makes it even scarier) and boy we had a blast! Unlike the typical goosebumping, hair-standing, and stomach-trembling experience, it was surprisingly quite educational too, as they include the histories that lurks around the dungeon as you go along, told by the actors that plays their characters well.

Ummm. Let's just say we had too much fun LOL
 Funny that even after almost 8 months of leaving the country, the memory is still quite vivid, and of course, I longggg to come again and experience it all over again, but then I wonder if it'll be as much as fun when the girls are not around.

And that's it for now, I shall write about my Scotland experience in bits and pieces like this, when I had the mood to, so till then, thank you for reading this post. I hope you had a great day!

With smiles,
Copieee

Memory

You know I always take pride in how good my memory works. I can remember details, information, and able to retain & recall them whenever it is needed. I remember small minute detail of a person, what she/he likes or dislike, what they're allergic of, preferences, pet peeves, depending how close they are to me. I remember event and incidents that occurs, I remember the things people say, sometimes the wording they use, I remember the places and memories it carries-the people I go with, the purpose of going, and sometimes the exact dates if not month of the year. I remember random facts about thingsi studied in my degree despite not dealing with the subjects on daily basis. I remember very vividly the memories of people despite how random and sometimes insignificant it seems. No matter how useful a good memory does sound, Sometimes, secretly, I resent it. I resent that how memories are only pieces of you that you're meant to keep. Just because you remember the specific event ...

The ocean

We could've been the ocean Where the limits is not found The potentials, possibilities of what could have become But you chose the land The security, the certainty and safety that it offers You chose what is easy And that's okay Me and difficulties came as part in parcel As much as I can give you Or that I tried or willing to try to There are parts of me that isn't gonna be easy I probably can't give you peace And that's okay Maybe it's not that much of a fall It's the imagery of you that stuck And how it takes the shape and the idea of you But I'm beginning to understand now, or at least as of this current moment There are something to be blamed but not everything I hold no grudge nor that I bear any ill wishes I just prefer not to see the sight of you At least not until I let go that image of you And the thought of what we could have become And I free myself from this attachment and idea You chose the logic, the safer route And I will embark on a diffe...

The very defining moment

26th of June When we got into a little misunderstanding and you go to sleep upset and I went about my days pretending like nothing happened when in reality i was just as affected I think over the time i became quite good at pretending putting on smiles and working, as if it was all normal when the truth I keep on dropping things, i was all over the place I am CLEARLY not in a great mood and later that night you called me up and asked if I had my dinner already and all you said "bawak tupperware. Saya kat luar" Imagine the kind of shock I had When you are upset but still decides to go above and beyond for me I'm not sure what do I have in me but I just got lucky 27th June Another misunderstanding (lol) and this time you dropped by again late at night we drive and we talk I talk and talk endlessly We smiled and laugh (and in my heart i knew, I want this forever) I want to be next to you when I'm sad when i feel hopeless or just full of moodiness and I just wanna be sad ...
