Initially, I only wanted to ask for permission from Syahiran to join this short course. But when he saw the brochure, he said, "Why didn't you invite me too? I nak join jugak!"
Then we started to plan very carefully. If both of us were to sign up for the course, then we'd have to bring our two kids as well.
So many worries. So many what ifs. And deep down, we knew it was going to be very challenging.
And here we are, one week at the University of Oxford, and my heart is full.
Walking the same halls where history, knowledge, and inspiration intertwine has been nothing short of a dream. Every lecture, every conversation, and every quiet moment of reflection has reminded me that learning never truly stops, it only deepens.
I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to grow, to be challenged, and to see the world through new lenses.
As the cherry on top, the last day of school also marked our 3rd wedding anniversary.
Sharing this milestone with TLOML and witnessing the same drive and passion he has makes me love him a little bit more.
And not just that, sharing this experience with my girlfriends (and their husbands) and the beautiful bond that we've created makes this study trip even more meaningful. Nanti kita repeat main White Man lagi ok
Alhamdullilah.. Grateful for the love that grounds me and the experiences that continue to shape me. Here's to more learning, unlearning, and becoming.
Oxford, you've definitley left a mark on me. - UA
