: I received a lot of posts now.

Watching movies has become an escapism for me.

Oh, I need to go back to my sanctuary.

.........................

Since I was in my early teenage years, I have been a fan to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. I love the adventures that this fictional 'consulting detective' had with his best friend, Dr Watson. I still remember how excited I was upon finding the books of this Holmes. At that time, I was more than willing to cycle for quite a distance just to go to a not-so-near library and read all the books. Not just that. I even had a notebook to write the synopsis of all the adventures. I wrote the year of each case and I even tried to decipher the codes that are featured in the adventures. Oh, how extremely obsessed I was with this detective stories. 

And unfortunately, though people said that through time such obsession will fade away, in my case, it didn't. One fine day, while I was wandering in the land of Tumblr, I found a few screencaps of a BBC drama series entitled 'Sherlock'. To tell you the truth, upon knowing the existence of this drama series, I had tried my best to stay away from this Sherlock. You know, I don't really prefer watching drama series which are adapted from books or novels but hey, curiosity finally gets the best of me. I watched this drama series like two weeks ago and here I am, totally in love with it. 

Why, why on earth did they ever think of doing this type of drama series? Whyyyyy? Oh, I fall in love with Sherlock again and again.

I have watched all three seasons of Sherlock. 

Here I am, officially not jobless.

Aku merindukanmu, setengah mati merindu

Things were so hectic these past few days. I had to head over to JPN Kelantan to finally get the name of the school that I will be teaching. Oh man, the emotions and the expectations.

I am posted to Batu Melintang, Jeli which is quite near to Grik; which also means that I am about three hours away from home. So close yet so far. Three hours away from home? Wow, it sounds so close but looking at the Grik highway (come on, google it if you don't know), home sounds so far away. 

I am lucky (indeed) for having another friend of mine who is posted to the same school. I am blessed for having a familiar face who I can pour my frustration out every single day. I am more than grateful to have this lovely friend of mine with me. However, being away at this place with only Coolblog stall as the only luxury we have is making me feel miserable at times. Oh well, maybe one good thing is, I will learn to appreciate more things after this. Anyway, say alhamdulillah, dear!

We are currently staying at a homestay, which is fairly in a good condition compared to the other place we have been offered. Oh the house rent here is ridiculously expensive. RM500 plus for a house with nothing in it? Fuhhh. That is why we decided to just rent this homestay for the time being (and the future, but well, I'm not sure yet). And as the new teachers, we are already being given a lot of positions and activities to do. Hurraaaaaaaayyyy *insert sarcasm here*

Anyway, despite everything, every day we live in is a blessing. Please pray for us; mainly our safety, security and well-being. Please please please. And dear self, let's rock each day that passes by and let's be grateful for every experience that you are going through and will go through.

To all my teacher friends, 

all the best wherever you are.

Be a good teacher (and warden hehe).

We will get through this before we even realise it.

And here I am, missing you guys badly.

Take care.
