Quills for the writing heart. . .

Picnic seems like a good idea for the weekend and therefore this weekend my friend and I decided to go for a nice picnic by the beautiful sea in Batu Feringgi, Penang. Here's a photo of the beautiful place from where we sat down.

Hi there everyone! How is the week coming up for the rest of you? It's been pretty amazing I must say to be able to live alone. Firstly, I've always liked apartment because for the price you pay, you have access to wonderful facilities. As for my apartment now it has sauna, gymnasium, badminton court, tennis court, squash court, swimming pool, reading room, conference room you name it! I like how everything is so close to me. On top of that being so near to the working place, I am able to come back home whenever I want to whether to eat or so. The best part is waking up late! I must say that I've been getting enough sleep though maybe for now haha! But still I'm grateful that for these few days I have some time on my own to get enough rest first after the whole process of moving here and there. 

Staying alone has lots of benefits for me and also I would consider the period where you figure out things for yourself. For instance, what do you prefer most, how would you like your room to be, how would you arrange the things you have in the kitchen and what now. You even get to decide what mug to use and to every small detail that sometimes when you are on your mood swing matters. I also enjoy my shadow accompanying me. I think it is really important to be able to cope living alone and feeling comfortable to do things your way and on your own. I am extra thankful for the nice house-mates I have. And with this, I've also started to cook on my own. Which I actually don't mind so long as I have my own space to do my things. I feel great! 

I took the chance staying so near to the sea to walk along it as often as I can, I love how the breeze gets into my face and hair and how I could just sit and think clearly. It is very crucial for me to have the space and time to do all the thinking, sorting out my thoughts and making judgements. I feel as if I am able to work more efficiently this way. From this, in the future when I have a place of my own, I would like to have my own study room to do my work and everything should be looking bright and neat. It helps my mind a lot. Well, some say the mess = creativity and I think so too, been there, done that. However for this job now, most of the time I am going to need my mind to think clearly therefore, the tidiness would be a great favour to myself. 

oooh! And yea I also get to organize my meals timing which is awesome and somehow I find grocery and food stock shopping very interesting. Hmmm..... That should be about it for now, till then!

Hi peeps! I hope all of you are doing wonderful! Hmm... it wasn't as easy for me as I thought it would be to stay away from the people who are close to me and that thought was in my head when I started thinking of it being for years as such. However, in a way, if you wish and put in some effort, you would be able to pick out the friends you would love to keep and somehow you will try your very best to make contact with them. As for now, I've got in touched with the close friends I have on Skype so that we could do more of video calls and that goes the same for my family members & relatives. 

I have so much blessings to count for everyone whom have helped me throughout the whole process. Firstly to my loving boyfriend's parents whom treated me nice food before I leave for Penang and ensured I have everything I might need when I am there. Then it was my uncles & auntie giving my household items that I will be needing, and the one I appreciate most is the Spaghetti Spoon! LOVEIT! and I've bought my spaghetti & sauce! Besides that, all my friends who tried to meet me before I left for Penang. It's not a big thing leaving to Penang actually; thanks to the 1 hour flight distance and for AirAsia making it cheap so that everyone can fly, but rather the time we may not be able to catch up whenever we want to due to work commitments and the difficulty in coming back to Melaka for long period. It takes 2 days for the travelling, to get a bus to the airport and later the flight, so yea... I appreciate all of that! Also the nice treat they gave me <3

Later, upon arriving at the airport, the ever loving godsister I have, Nishantel my really best friend picked me from the airport helped me with all the luggages and what's even better, helped me in the unpacking process which was done in just an hour! How nice! So at the moment everything looks neat and nice now, all sorted out,organized, well labelled & arranged. I took some time to walk around the area and discovered how nice this place is whereby I only need to cross the road and walk about 5 mins to reach the sea. A beautiful place for me to relax and do some reading (keeping itin mind). Bought everything I need for the time being from the shopping mall and I have a feeling I would be indirectly building some muscles by carrying all the items I bought back to the apartment. That includes a 5kg packet of rice and lots of other stuffs I had with me earlier. 

The one VERY IMPORTANT thing I forgot about since the last time I stayed here in Penang was during my attachment 1 1/2 years ago, it's NO PLASTIC BAG policy. I've got to get my recycle bag the next time I am at the shopping mall. 

With that, here's the view from my apartment, not the nicest of all but I love how I could see the sea. 

Have a good day all!
