045: She's OK

Feeling: Alright

044: Tempo

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest.

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time.

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus.

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?

043: Penny boardin'

Moments before the epic fall.

040: Cycle like the Dutch

Fell in love with Amsterdam. Not just because of the bicycles, but also the pretty scenery and the friendly people. Sara and I managed to cycle about 30km, visiting a couple of villages outside the city. Cycled through rain, hail and sunshine - and made it alive, just in time to catch the ferry back to the city to return the rented bikes. After 3 days, with a heavy heart, we returned to London. 

And as it was Guy Fawkes night, we saw fireworks going off from all corners of London from the plane. Never have I seen fireworks that small, but it was a magnificent sight! Alhamdulillah :) In my head, it was as if London was saying Happy Birthday Ayne!

Every year the eve of my birthday has always been more exciting than the actual day. So this year, I spent my birthday in the library finishing my essay till about 7pm. Then, the flatmates (plus Sara and Haniza) and I had dinner at my favourite restaurant! Yummy yummy.

Twas a good way of turning 22! Alhamdulillah :)
