Assalamualaikum.

Two weeks till new year. Where did all the time go, ayy? Damn, I think 2016 was a quite a year, at least for me. Haha, come to think of it, it's kinda funny, don't you think? I rant all day long about how I can't face the day but look where I am right now. It's amazing how every single year, we thought the same and ended up still alive, Alhamdulillah. Anyway, I'm currently in my study week right now and umm still have a lot of work to do. But that's fine, I guess? Because I think this is just a little tiny bit of what's coming next semester. The final semester, insyaAllah.

Anddddd I've been thinking, I wanna do a recap of my 2016. So bismillahirrahmanirrahim, here we go.

1. Guys, I had a breakup early this year. By far the happiest breakup. No offence but it was and it still is. When you know it no longer work for both of you, just let it go. It did justice for me (and I hope for the guy too). I said so because many of friends noticed my changes(?) and they didn't know I'm already single. They said I look more energetic, I became the 'normal' Aqilah(??), and my face lit up. I don't know but to be frank, I do feel a lot better after so long.

But babe, I'm enjoying life :)

2. I'm in my final year! I've said this so many times already but I wanna say it again. Degree life is fukk. It's so so so so much different than my diploma years. Still have one semester left and I hope to grad on time. Wish me luck!

3. I will easily get emotional when I think student life gonna end soon. I've been with the same classmates since 2011. How can you not be emotional about this?! Six fcking years together. The longest relationship I've ever had. Just a few weeks ago, we had a paintball game and BBQ later that night. One of the joyous moment in 2016. I'm gonna miss all of that and couldn't be happier to spend the rest of my student life with them.

Thank you, Allah, for all the glorious friends I have.

4. I HAD THE BEST INTERNSHIP EVURRRRRRRRRR.

5. Also the year where I finally get my first car. At first, nak beli kereta bila dah start kerja but when I knew the construction site for my internship is in Johor, I decided to rent a car. But Ayah didn't let me because it costs a lot for a short period of time. So Ayah said use his Saga. I'm fine with it as long as I have trasnportation. And then a few days later, Ibu called and she asked, "Akak nak kereta Saga warna apa?" Lol I thought they were gonna give Ayah's black Saga but instead they wanted to buy a new one. I said silver.

Half an hour later Ibu called again. This time, "Akak, tak jadi Saga. Ayah suruh ambil Iriz. Dia kata sedap drive" LOL my old folks. Just so you know, it's me who's gonna pay for it monthly! Haha. TQ Allah for both of them.

6. My sister is coming home for winter break. Hehe.

7. And the best thing of all ---------- I was selected for Japan trip next year!! Exciting innit? CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING IN JAPAN FINALLY I CAN CROSS ONE WISH ON MY WISHLIST! I've never been on a plane for more than 2 hours. So this is new! It is in Kyoto for environmental program, named Sakura Program. A lecturer in Environmental Department, FKA personally contacted a few students to go through screening process and I passed. Wish us luck for our next step :)

With all these thing happened, I must be doing something good. Or I must be doing something really really bad that Allah wanna test me... I hope it's not the latter.

So far, I'm happy. Alhamdulillah. And I pray this good vibe will continue next year!
