Assalamualaikum.. May peace be upon you.. This morning  I was walking  when I saw a normal tall tree with some peculiar  fruits. To be honest, the fruit is on the ground. A lot of them actually. So, I picked one of them and began to observe it. It has the shape of peach fruit ,its skin is covered in a fine,velvety fur. It is strikingly red in colour and have the top like persimmons fruit. Actually it comes from the same genus with persimmon. The scientific name of it is Diospyros blancoi. After doing some researches (reading some Wiki sites)  . It's edible. Yay!  It have soft, creamy, pink flesh, with a taste and aroma comparable to fruit cream .That means,  I will definitely pluck them next week. I was rushing to Arabic class when the encounter happened. And after the class, I have another phonetics class but I managed to pluck a ripe yellow papaya which I have eaten just now. That's the benefit of studying in UPM. You could eat fruits for free :D...

Assalamualaikum . May peace be upon you... The struggle is REAL every time I tried to write an entry. Even at the introduction, I often lingered for at least half an hour just to start a writing. This really bothers me. Maybe I should start any post with figuring the title first, then decides the content. But ,that obviously will violate any writing rule. Maybe... Or ,maybe I should do some a bit of research first on the topic that I want to write and make it a little formal ,yeah like a research paper .But, I really have a strong feeling that it would be super duper boring. Like all scholar assignments .Oh. Talking about scholar, it reminds me to UniPutra. Looks like my two month and a half semester break are going to end  soon. A few days more and yeah bye bye Home and HELLO Third Semester  * imagine I said this with a wide shitty smile and grin* I'd already arranged my schedule in a colourful timetable to ease the suffering and pain that I will suffer in next semest...

She also inserted the 60s trend where most of ...
