Alhamdulillah for everything that has happened for these past few weeks.
Sometimes I still cant believe Im actually living one of my dreams which was to live in an Arab country. Still so surreal and at the same time feeling very exhausted from the difficulties that come with it. What I imagined before coming here was slightly less difficult than what I am experiencing now.
In Singapore, I realized I was pampered and spoiled by the our country and its easy access to basic necessities and vast variety of goods and not to mention world class service. I did not have any worries whatsoever and I spent each and every day with a normal routine. My worries over there were less significant and sometimes I felt very unaccomplished and bored because there was no tension in my life that would help me grow and learn and eventually shape me to become a better person. It was very satisfying but at the same time monotonous with zero exitement. Which was why I really wanted to study overseas and experience new things (and get travel alot >-<)
Although starting a new beginning here was hectic and an emotional roller coaster, I finally feel comfortable and relaxed once things were settled and I familiarized myself with the uni.
Yesterday was our Imtihan Kafa'ah(entrance exam) and it was 2 hours all tested by mcq questions so all of us knew our probability was 50/50. There was English, Arabic and IT and Alhamdulillah I passed all of them so I dont need to take it as an extra subject and can straight away move on to the next level. Alhamdulillah x3 I seriously did not expect it.
Yesterday also during Isha, one of the many things that worry me constantly occured even though it was only Thursday. We had water shortage. Now it doesnt even surprise me anymore. It was out for 2 or 3 hours and we called the caretaker to inform him. Luckily it didnt happen when one of us was in the toilet even though that happened before...twice already. Ala kulli hal we promised ourselves we would bear with it till our contract ends. Oh how precious water is:(
Not to mention the language barrier....ammiyah is so hard I always end up just showing them what I want or using words that they know. Cant really communicate yet.
Sorry theres no pictures yet in sha Allah next post :)
Assalamualaikum!
