“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” - Lao Tzu

This is what I always tell myself, my wife and my kids about it. Live life to the fullest, make it better day by day.

"Nature is the best medicine for serenity. Peace, calmness, stillness. It's good for the heart" -  Karen L Madewell

Between home and Dublin.

It has been 3 weeks now we are back in Malaysia. Yes, we do miss Malaysia but at the same time we will always remember Dublin, the Fair City, because moments will always be the really important thing and matter in our life. Furthermore, the best part of life is when your family become your friends and your friends become your family.

It was hard but to ease the pain, we always say good friends never say goodbye, they simply say 'see you soon'. Personally, every ending is a new beginning for everyone. We will surely see you guys again and may our paths cross in the future. This 3 years episode of our life here has been a tremendous journey, priceless experience, awesome challenges, ridiculous storyline, rare plot yet we found close to heart friendship plus extended families. Everyone and everything here is very close to our heart. Syukur to Allah SWT, the almighty for this opportunity. Guys, memory last forever, never will it die... true friends stay together and never say goodbye. Our sincere apology for everything that we have done wrong. Keep in touch! And thank you for having us! Our ukhuwwah til Jannah. Dublin, you've been good to us. It has been a great 3 years stay in Dublin. Dublin... you have been so good to us and our heart ❤️ grow fonder each second and every day. I am Azilee Abd Aziz, signing off from Dublin, Ireland We shall be back....

Nasi Kandaq Baq Hang.....

Okay, here's the deal I would like to take a more appetizing jab at nasi kandar in Ireland or UK but it was only in my dream! You know what? We traveled to all nasi kandaq stalls all over Penang, Kedah, KL, PJ, Ipoh and bla.. bla... bla for 1 and 1/2 year stock up before we flew to the UK. Some says, it is a truly appetite for destruction, but who cares.... we eat to live. - eat drink sleep.

Eat Drink Sleep

It has been a year now in the foreign land. Frankly, we still miss home very much. This transit will remain and will be a memorable experience for all of us, very challenging, very inspiring. Dublin is very unique. It was a surprise for us to be selected to come to Dublin. Personally, this place is something rare and different. People love to go to the UK but not to Ireland. We are considered as the chosen one and those selected are only meant and will always be special. We are special!. So far, we have covered the whole island of Ireland, the big cities ranging from Dublin, Belfast, Galway, Cork and Limerick. It is a true fact that exploring new place enable us to open up our mind and extend our horizon. The kids are learning and adapting very well. Everybody will continue to learn, every second and every minute, here in Ireland.  It is good to know, while traveling, we do realize that when we are the minorities, we tend to stand close together and be close to Allah SWT, and the worst, the threat may not come from the outside but from among ourselves, from the inside, within our own community, just hang in there. So, dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. Experience your journey and enjoy life guys! 

Life as good as it gets

On a positive note...

'Life is unpredictable and you never know what is coming next. Don't ever get too comfortable. Always be ready for change'

'Blessed is the person who is so busy fixing his own faults, that he does not have time to look at the faults of other people'

'The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page' 

 “Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.” – Mohammed

 “To travel is to take a journey into yourself.”

 “When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.”
