1.5 Years...

Assalamualaikum!..

Yes, after 3 months from my last post...This is an achievement!..I was bored to death and kept refreshing the Facebook page for the last 2 hours and suddenly realized that I have a blog that has been abandoned for like forever!..haha...well I've changed the blog title...excuse the name okay..:p..

Adam is sleeping now and I'm waiting to perform my Maghrib prayer..It's summer now and the daytime is very long!..From 3.30 am in the morning until 9.47 pm!..Can you imagine how the fasting month would be then?..Buka puasa maybe dalam pukul 10 kot!.hehe..

It has been about 1 year and a half since I left Malaysia for UK to further my studies..My studies is a little bit slow due to the pregnancy and maternity leave...but it's progressing pretty well now..I should write an entry about my PhD project later..haha...I'm a food engineer by background so I've been dealing with food since my MSc studies..not creating a new food but more to the design of the processing..:-)..

This is my output after 1.5 years in the UK..A healthy baby boy and a report..hehe..

Adam is 6 months old now and has started weaning...so mummy dah masak macam2 'lauk' for him..hehe...yeah and I should write an entry about that too I guess?..hehe...perhaps it would benefit people..:-)..and maybe about pram/stroller selection (I'm a pushchair addict and a very particular one!), changing bag and baby clothes?..wah takde keje la tu nak tulis semua ni..hehe..

My 6 months old prince..

and not to forget about all the lovely and nice places in the UK too...:-)...harap2 rajin la tulis psl ni sebab dah setahun lebih duduk sini tp satu cerita psl tmpt menarik pun takde...hehe...

Spring 2011

OK, I think that's all at the moment...Takde idea tiba2...hehe...Till then...:-)..

New Place...

Salam...

Alhamdulillah we've got a house to rent...situated in Brideoak Street, Cheetham Hill, The Greater Manchester...

Alhamdulillah...We've paid the deposit...I'm so grateful that my friend, Hafiz has helped me a lot...He is doing his PhD in the Uni. of Manchester and he used to be my classmate when I was in Form 1..hehe...and he is also a tutor of UPM's Electrical Engineering Department...Thanks so much pal!!..

My house is situated in front of a mosque...Alhamdulillah...semoga sinar Islam akan kekal teguh di hati...Aminn...Hafiz said this is a strategic place...near the Cheetham Hill market, shopping store, bank, bus stand, etc...:-)...

Something special about all the UK houses is that all the houses are fully furnished...hehe...My house is well equipped with all the necessary furniture and electrical appliances...According to what Hafiz told me, I just need to buy curtains, duvets, bedsheets...and plus a TV set...hehe...

Pray for me friends...berdebar sungguh rasa hati ni...

And...15th of January 2010 will be the day...I will be leaving Malaysia...May Allah bless me and my husband...and also my family...Aminn...

There is only 1 month left...and I need to start sorting and packing things...and to move out from my current house...We will be staying at mum's place starting from January...Hope everything will go well as we've planned...InsyaAllah...

Do pray for us guys...:-)...

When will it be?...InsyaAllah....

Salam...kebelakangan ni, asyik tgk pic baby yg comel2 bangat...kalau ade kesempatan jumpe all the babies, mmg confirm akan pegang diorg...:-)..Cute babies yg tak jemu2 dilihat...

My niece...Eryssa Nur Iman (yg kanan ye..yg kiri tu bukan..hehe)..

Ariq Hazim...Kak Azizah's son...comelll...

Mia Sarah, Kak Nadiah's lovely princess..:-)..adoi comel sgt dia ni...:-)..



and yang terbaru skali...Khadijah Zahra...my cousin's daughter...:-)...

I love babies...perhaps now is the right time to plan for mine...:-)....

InsyaAllah....

It's December Now....

Salaam...

Time flies so fast...It's already December...In just less than 30 days, 2010 will come....We need to move forward and no turning back...Let bygones be bygones...We need to improve ourselves to be a better person...better muslim...better ummah...

Contribute our skills, knowledge, money etc. to the society...To be specific, we should contribute back to our family, friends, nation and to all the people around the world since all the 'rezeki' are given by Allah The Almighty...Everything happens by Allah's leave...Don't forget who we are...since we will only be judged by our faith, good deeds and knowledge in the Hereafter...So brothers and sisters, let us do the self-criticism (al-muhasabah) to improve ourselves...

Maimun bin Mahran, a famous companion of the Prophet, used to say: "A pious person scrupulously examines and appraises himself more than he would a tyrant ruler and a tight-fisted partner!"

Alhamdulillah...Thank you Allah S.W.T. for all the 'rezeki' given....

December will be a very busy month for everyone including myself...My beloved sister, 'Aisya will be coming back to Malaysia tomorrow for holidays...can't wait to see her...and then we'll be going to Johor for my cousin's engagement...every coming weekends will be filled with activities...and my 1st anniversary is just around the corner..13th of December...:-)....It's nearly a year for me as a wife...

Packed with wedding invitations...meeting friends...and shopping for all the necessities of course..:-)...

Alhamdulillah...:-)...

InsyaAllah....

InsyaAllah will go somewhere in this map in a few months time...May Allah S.W.T. bless me...and may all the preparations go well....

Map of the United Kingdom...

This institution of knowledge will be the place where I will work hard & gain knowledge to complete my studies...InsyaAllah....

Kingdom of knowledge...

Alhamdulillah...syukur to Allah S.W.T. for all the rezeki given...

No objective....

Salam...My eyes are very tired now...dari tadi menghadap laptop...nak susun references dalam software EndNote ni..I thought I could do it easily...tetapi...leceh jugak rupenye..huhu..sakit mata and pening kepala...EndNote is used as a reference manager which stores all of the references...baik journals, patents, etc..

Masa buat Masters dulu, malas nak buat bende ni..skrg baru la nak start buat...padahal supervisor dah pesan since 1st sem...ini yg dinamakan procrastination yg melampau..haha...tu yg mase susun references kat thesis, mata sampai rase berpinar2..hehehe...so, skrg ni kene jugak buat 1 reference manager supaya mata takkan berpinar lg waktu buat journals nanti...:-D...

This entry doesn't have any objective...hehe..saje2 je...

p/s: dah abis baca Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella...best!!!...selepas setahun lebih tak baca chic lit, akhirnye dpt jugak ketawa bila baca buku ni..:-D...it's a good way to release my stress...terasa sedikit pulih dari temporary head damage lepas siapkan Masters...LOL...

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

Convo...Next Week!!!

UPM 33rd Convocation will be held from 8th of August until 11th of August...Master of Science graduands will receive their scroll during the 8th session i.e. the last session on 11th of August on next Tuesday...So, I'll be receiving my masters degree certificate on next Tuesday...:-)...

I'm currently thinking of what kind & colour of baju kurung and tudung to be worn...Am thinking to wear chiffon baju kurung in blue together with light blue tudung with sakura awning that I bought from Kak Maira...but need to test whether I can wear the mortar board with this kind of tudung...takut awning rosak...hehehe...

InsyaAllah tomorrow I'll take the Academic Regalia a.k.a. set jubah konvokesyen...I'm still having flu and sore throat rite now...hope will recover from it asap...:-)...

Below are the pictures during my Bachelor Degree convocation in 2007...

With Mom....

With my boyfriend (now my hubby...:p) with my parents in law...

For next week convocation, hubby will accompany me...nak amik gambar studio dgn hubby..:-D..

Berdoa diberi kesihatan yg baik supaya bole hadir ke concovocation...risau jugak dengan keadaan sekarang ni...musim demam2...

OK...that's all for now...wassalam...

My New Baby...

Salam...just want to share with all of u...my new baby...bukan baby=anak...but a new lappy for me to do all my works...and of course to save other stuffs too...

It's been a while since I bought my new baby...but I rarely used it since I was still in trauma mode before this...hehe...but alhamdulillah...I'm ok now...so sudah rajin menggunakan laptop ni...before this just gune desktop hubby saje and laptop ni kusimpan dalam almari saje...hehe...

Semoga dengan kehadiran laptop baru ni dpt memberikan sejuta makna dan menaikkan semangat utk terus berjaya dalam study dan dlm karier...InsyaAllah...lepas ni akan lebih berhati2...

I also got myself a new pencil case too...sebab sudah hilang juga bersama2 laptop..huhuh...lucky me that all the academic staffs dpt teaching kit which consists of pencils, pens, marker pens, erasers etc...now I just need to buy a new CALCULATOR...susah jugak tau takde calculator...especially time nak kira2 diskaun bile tgh online shopping...hahah...bole?...:p....

So peeps, in the name of Allah, I'm sharing with all of you my new laptop...

My new baby...Vaio CS in Pink...

It's pink in colour..my favourite color...it's quite purplish actually...so it's the combination of my favourite colors - purple + pink...

My previous laptop was Hp Compaq (yg masih kelihatan seperti baru..plastik pun tak tanggal lagi tau...huhu)...tapi mase tgh survey2 laptop, hati ni terasa sedih sgt bile tgk lambang Q kat cover Hp Compaq yg dijual di kedai2...so I decided not to buy that brand to prevent me from remembering my previous lappy...huhu...

So, I was thinking of buying something that is durable since I'm going to use it for my doctorate studies in the near future, insyaAllah...haruslah something that has a very good processor, big RAM and also HDD...after surveying in the internet, I listed out 2 possible laptops which were Hp Pavilion (which has the LCD screen that can be turned 360 degree..hehe..) and Sony Vaio...Hp Pavilion uses AMD Turion processor while Vaio uses Intel Core 2 Duo processor...

In doing postgraduate studies, takde maknenye bukak laptop sekejap je pastu tutup...we need to search smpai ke segala ceruk kat internet tu to surf for the related materials...bukak lappy for just 2 hours a day is not enough...kdg2 ada laptop smpai terpadam terus sebab cepat panas (due to its processor yg cepat pns)...so Intel is a better choice...setelah mendapat nasihat dari mereka yg pandai pasal laptop i.e. Cik Firah & En. Raman, maka, saya bersama hubby terus ke Sony Center and bought this Sony Vaio CS...The specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53 GHz) - mmg laju nih...hehe...

Memory 4 GB - ini mmg byk and laju utk buat keje atau utk hubby main game ker..hehe...

HDD 320 GB - storage yg besar adalah amat penting...

Graphics by NVIDIA - ini juga penting utk software yg berkaitan graphics..mcm AutoCad and Cartia ataupun game..hehe..

Semoga dengan adanya laptop ni, semangat akan semakin berkobar2...utk belajar and bekerja...Aminn...:-)...

That's all for now...Wassalam...

Dugaan...

Salam...yesterday was the saddest day in my life...I've lost my precious laptop..huhu...all the memories are gone...gone with the wind...The saddest thing is I also lost my organizer together with the laptop since I put my organizer in my laptop bag...same goes to my pendrives and my payslip...huhu...But I'm so grateful because I've finished my masters..if not,i cant imagine what will happen to me...huhu...

Last nite I went to lodge a police report...Although deep in my heart I knew that I might not get the laptop back...but I still hope that I can get my organizer back in some other ways...I'm hoping that the thief will throw away my organizer somewhere near the place that we parked our car so that I can get it back...huhu...

Actually me and my hubby went to pasar mlm yesterday...we have not been to pasar malam for quite a long time since we got married...but hubby was fasting yesterday so he wanted to buy food at pasar mlm ala2 membeli makanan di bazar ramadhan...I didn't know what had happened to me yesterday...I forgot that I've brought together my laptop and put it at the backseat of our car...after buying all the foods, we realized that my laptop wasn't at its place and noticed that 'bahagian tmpt masuk kunci dkt pintu kereta telah dikopakkan'..DAMN!!!!...

I was so shocked...I called my mom and cried my heart out...while hubby went back to the pasar mlm area to search for the laptop bag (aku dah kat umah masa ni)...but nothing found..then i called hubby to come back home and break his fast first before we went to lodge a police report...the policeman told us that all the thieves nowadays have some kind of detector that can detect the laptop eventhough you keep them in the car bonnet...huhu...

So...there goes all my masters memories...huhu...lucky me that I've received the award of degree...alhamdulillah...but I'm still praying to Allah..if the laptop and my organizer happened to be mine again, then they will come back to me...if not, I've to accept the fate...

Despite of all the sadness, I've received a good news just now...My salary has been increased to '2 tangga gaji'...alhamdulillah...Berbaloi juga berhempas pulas utk masters..Although in another institutions I have already entitled for lecturer post (DS45) with higher salary, I need to accept what Allah has rewarded for me...Kekurangan dan kepayahan yg kita terima, pasti ada hikmah utk kita...yg akan menjadikan kita lebih baik dari yg lain...may all UPM tutors be stronger and my we become the best in our class (same goes to all the tutors in UM and UKM)...insyaAllah...we are in RU level, so we need to be better than the other..

'Bila Allah ingin beri sesuatu yg baik utk kita, pasti Allah akan ambil sedikit yg kita ada...Supaya kita sentiasa mengingatiNya dan sentiasa bersyukur'...These words are my motivation for my current situation...

Aku akan redha menghadapinya...Amin...I've to buy a new laptop to do all my work...tapi aku masih di dalam trauma........

Wassalam....
