Me in London...in front of London Eye...

Me in Manchester...

Salam everybody...wahhh..it seems so long since my last entry...I really didn't have even a single chance to update this blog previously bcoz we still don't have internet at home...but today, I'll do it here at my postgraduate office...hehe...

It's been 2 weeks and 4 days since I arrived in Manchester...Alhamdulillah everything went well for me and my husband...eventhough there were slight problems last week, I hope everything will be OK soon...

I'm officially a postgraduate student at the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science, The University of Manchester...once again as a student...but at a very different environment from what I used to have back in Malaysia...

I admit that I really miss Malaysia...my family, my friends and my workplace (UPM)...everything is so different here...but we're trying our best to suit ourselves to this new culture and environment...and so far, everything is great for us...we're learning and learning from zero...

These are some of the activities that we've done in the past 2 weeks until today:

• Stayed at our host 's place for a few days until we moved to our own house...

• Our house is located at 11, Brideoak Street, Cheetham Hill...

• We went to shop for necessities at Manchester Fort, Primark, Asda & Tesco...berjimat cermat membeli brg2 murah sbb masih tgh membiasakan diri dgn life kat sini...:-)...
  

• We had already registered for NHS which stands for National Health Insurance...that enables us to get medical treatment here...

• Take bus from Cheetham Hill to Manchester Piccadilly which takes about 10 mins...and then walk from Piccadilly to School for about 15 mins...mmg menyihatkan...tp skrg ni tgh winter, teramatla sejuknye...hehe...

• I met my PhD supervisor, Dr. Peter James Martin on 28th Jan...he is a very nice person...he introduced me to all the students under his supervision...and he took me to the laboratory where I'll be working in this very near future...hehe....and he took us for lunch on Friday...:-)...

• I met a few friends here...Helen, Vicky, Linda and James...they are all very nice and warm...looking forward to meeting more friends here...:-)...

• I also met a few Malaysian here...Abg Muammar & Kak Yati (who had helped us a lot), Kak Ucu, Pian (who is very nice to us since day 1)...
  

• It was snowing last Sunday..that was our first time ever to see snow in our life...syukur to Allah S.W.T..

• and finally, this morning hubby got the National Insurance (NI) number which entitles him to work legally here..hehe...

Alhamdulillah....OK, I've uploaded a few pics in my Facebook...but I'll upload some of them here later...I have a group meeting this evening at 3pm...James is going to present something about his work...and I'll do an introduction presentation next Tuesday...heeeee...need to prepare couple of slides this weekend...:-)...

Doakan kejayaan saya di sini...:-)...

Till then, bye2...

Wassalam...

It was snowing yesterday..on my way back from school...:-)..

1st Anniversary...

Salam...Yesterday, 13th of December was our 1st wedding anniversary...we didn't make any specific plan to celebrate it...we wanted to take it easy as a first timer...hehehe...

We went to celebrate Miza, my friend's wedding...it seems that times do fly fast...last year she attended my wedding reception (on 14th of Dec 2008) and yesterday, I was attending hers...It's been a year already...I miss that moment...:-)...OK...let's reminisce the moment a little bit...hehe....

Thanks hubby (Mohd Hafizul Ismail) for all the love, support and everything...may Allah S.W.T. bless both of us always...and may both of us be together forever...aminnn...

After akad nikah....

On the reception day...

Okay done...hehe...actually before going to Miza's wedding, we went to mum's place to send some of our belongings to be kept at her house since we're moving from our current house....Then only we went to the wedding...Oh, actually Miza's house is near my mum's house..hehe...

After the wedding, we went back to mum's place to lepak2...and after Asar prayer, we made our move to...shoppingggg...yay!...

But we didn't go to shopping complex...we went to the largest IT heaven in Malaysia...Plaza Lowyat in KL...hehe...Hubby wanted to buy himself a laptop...so he did buy one...makin canggih skrg semua laptop...dah pakai Windows 7 pulak skrg ni...sabar ajelah...time diriku ini membeli Sony Vaio bulan July lepas, masih Windows Vista...huhuh...terlalu laju teknologi bergerak...jadi janganlah kite ketinggalan...heheh...

Despite of buying the laptop, we had made our greatest buying of the year...it's been our dream to own this macho-stylo-thingy....hehehe...we had discussed about this purchasing earlier...to make sure that we won't make any mistake...

And yesterday it seemed that, we both had made our mind...for the first time...to buy something that is very new to our life...something that we will dedicate our interest on...something that is worth buying...

Introducing....our new lil handsome baby...Nikon D3000....hehehe.....

Our Nikon D3000...

We will learn how to use it together (hubby knows how to use it a little bit...hehe)...we will also try our best to capture breathtaking pics (cewahhh...bole ker?...insyaAllah..)....

We finished our shopping at around 10pm...kedai kamera tu mmg dah ready nak tutup dah time kami nak kuar...heheh...

So..there goes our day...we didn't plan for any romantic dinner or any special celebration together...but we did spent our time together (and spent our money too..haha..)...rather than going to watch a movie and even having a romantic dinner at a 5-star hotel...kuikui...

Something that is worth to be done...something that I haven't done for quite some time...something that gives me passion...SHOPPING!!!...hehe...Thanks B...:-)...

Okay friend...Till then...

Bye2...

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...:-)...

Recently....

Salam...wahh it seems so long since my last entry...was so busy these last few weeks...went to Perlis last weekend...Next week will be going to Ipoh to celebrate AidilAdha...

But before that, need to settle the visa application...will be going to Visa Application Centre this coming Tuesday...All the documents are ready...I've successfully obtained the ATAS clearance in just 5 working days...cepat betul..heheh...

I will start my holiday on this Tuesday until Sunday...After the visa application appointment on Tuesday, we will be going back to Ipoh...Hope the visa application process will go well...

Last week was so busy...we need to ask for Pejabat Agama Islam to give the English translation of our marriage certificate...and also to ask the Commissioner for Oaths to translate our birth certificates to English...Alhamdulillah everything went well...:-)....I'm hoping that the rest of the process will go well...InsyaAllah...

Weekend ni kami masak...since we ate at gerai so frequent last week due to our hectic schedule and keadaan rumah yg dipenuhi barang2...hehe...actually, we have started to pack our things at home...hubby is so helpful in this matter...since I am so busy with the visa apps thingy...hehehe...gune kan all his 5's knowledge in sorting all the barang2 at home...:-D...thank u so much B...I lep u lahh!!!

Oh...btw...my sister, Ecah will be coming back on 3rd of December...can't want to meet u sis!!..and then we'll be going to Johor for my cousin's engagement...Selamat Bertunang Huzir and Sabrina...:-)..

Okeh...that's all....GTG...wassalam...

Progress...

Salam...

This week is really tiring...alhamdulillah i've finished doing the executive summary for the curriculum review...tomorrow i'll be attending the curriculum review meeting for the whole day...I'm giving my helping hands to the department before I further my studies in January 2010...InsyaAllah...just to contribute back to my beloved department...:-)...

This morning I went to Immigration Department in Kajang to do my passport together with hubby...Gosh...There were so many people...we took our queue number at around 9am...my number was 1128 and hubby's was 1129...at that time, the number in process was 1060!!...we had to wait for 68 people to submit their form before we can submit our form...but luckily we went there together...so there were so many things to be discussed and talked about...hehe...mcm la kat umah tak sembang kan...kuikui...so after about 2 hours waiting, we managed to submit our forms and pay the fee...rm300 for 32 pages...and we had to wait until 1.30 pm until we can take another queue number to take the passport...okla...seperti yg dijanjikan siap dlm 2 hours...we went to have our lunch together and went to the nearby KWSP office to check our KWSP accounts...we were so surprised by the amount available in the account...alhamdulillah...ada juga simpanan di hari tua nanti...

At around 1 pm, we went back to the immigration dpmt...Lucky us...we didn't have to wait until 1.30 pm...our passports were already available for collection...so, this is the first time I ever have my own passport!!!..hahahaha...

OK...so the next stage is to apply for Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)...For individual who wish to enter the UK to further their studies, they need to apply for this ATAS clearance...It is used to help stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (this definition is taken from ATAS Office Website)...only after obtaining its approval I can apply for my VISA...

This ATAS process will take around 5-10 working days...and even longer for Chemical Engineering course...huhuh...my programme of study is under Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science..so it seems that I have to wait for...say 2 weeks??..huhuh...I've registered for the application of ATAS just now..so now I can just wait until they give me the password...cepat2 la dpt email from the office...I want to settle this asap....

Apart from that, I've asked around for the house rent in Manchester...the most suitable place up to this point would be the Cheetam Hill...but i haven't finalized it yet..since there is another option...so the progress of house searching is only 20%...since I feel it is still early...and I don't have to rush to find a house...yeker??..haha...

Ok...I think it's better for me to stop now...since I need enough sleep to gain back my energy for tomorrow meeting...Ok peeps...that's all for now...

Wassalam...and gudnite...

To be completed within 3 months....

Bought all the books last week at MPH Mid Valley...I wasn't searching for the latest books but I was searching for books that suit me...suit my soul...(^_^)v....

Reason for buying those books : To fill up my spare time...so I will not be bored to death...hehe...

Currently reading : While The Light Lasts by the famous Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie...

Next book to be read : Either one of Jane Austen's books....

Estimated time to finish all of them : Next 3 months....

Why it takes so long to finish them up : 'cause I have lotsa things to do la...since I'm a dedicated employee and devoted housewife...hahaha...

Why I'm writing this blog now: 'cause I just wanna fill up my time...Tired of looking at the tutorials that need to be marked...hehe...

p/s: Waiting for tomorrow to book 2 tickets to watch Papadom on Friday...Wanna book them via online....it's easier and faster...:-)...

-------------------------------The End--------------------------------

It's all about Raya...

Salam all...

I've just finished my tutorial class...and have quite some time to update this blog...hehe...I'm gonna share some stories about this year Hari Raya...the 1st Hari Raya for me as a wife...It's quite hectic but it was exhilarating...(^_^)v...

1st Syawal

Okay..on the 1st Syawal we were at my mother's home in Cheras, Selangor...After Hari Raya prayer, we forgave each other for any wrongdoings...The 1st person whom I asked for forgiveness was my husband..of course la kan...and we didn't make it for public view...hehehehe...

As always, I cried when I asked for mom's forgiveness...huhu...I can't resist that... We took several pictures together with different poses as usual...but I only have a pic of all of us...I haven't asked my brother for the rest of the pictures yet...hehe...so I only have this one...


After the sesi bermaafan, we headed to Malacca...our kampung...we stayed at a homestay in Ayer Keroh...but our kampung is in Serkam...so it took around 30 minutes to reach there from Ayer Keroh...we were so happy even though it was quite tiring to travel and beraya on the same day...Everything was good but unfortunately we forgot to take a lot of pics at kampung..bz beraya jer..haha....so nothing to be shown here...

After beraya bagai nak rak, we headed to our homestay around 6.30 pm...since hubby and my brothers wanted to watch ManU main bola...hehe...

2nd Syawal

On the next day, after having our breakfast, we went back to KL around 10 a.m...I went straight to our house in UPM to feed our beloved guppy fishes...hehe...and to take our luggage for our next destination, Perak...mom went straight to Cheras...

After taking our luggage, we went to mom's place for lunch...mak beli jer kat kedai mamak sbb tak larat nak masak..hehe...

Then around 2 pm, we headed to Perak...we arrived at Tapah (hubby's kampung) around 3.30pm...beraya dengan saudara mara di kampung sampai mlm...around 10pm, we headed to Ipoh...sesampainye kat umah terus mandi, solat and dozed off....

3rd Syawal

On 3rd Syawal, me and hubby went to visit my grandma at Permatang Pauh, Penang...rindunye kat Tok...sesampainye kat umah Tok, we were astonished by the beauty of the living room...It was Madam Hana's touch...cute betul...:-)..... So lepas makan2, sembang2 and tolong Tok layan tetamu beraya, kami pun pulang ke Ipoh...on our way to Ipoh, sempat beraya kat rumah kwn hubby... Sampai kat Ipoh, sembang2 dgn family and terus tido... Amatla penat...3 hari berturut-turut travel dari negeri ke negeri...huhuh...


4 Syawal

Ok...4 Syawal ni hanya duduk je kat umah...and prepare for Majlis Cukur Jambul and Naik Buai my niece Eryssa...I helped in the decoration of the buai...It's the fusion of traditional Malay buai & English style...bunga2 pink putih tu yg nmpk mcm English nyer...hehe...traditional buai tu my mother-in-law punye request...and the English look was definitely my taste!!..hehe...


5 Syawal

Majlis Naik Buai Eryssa and also open house...so makan2 je time nih...:-)....and tolong jadi gadis pemotong daun pandan dan pembawa dulang...hehe...





6 Syawal

Nothing much to do on Friday...just went to Mak Lang's place for Majlis Merisik our cousin...

7 Syawal

My sis-in-law went back to Perlis on Saturday...before that, we took the family pic together...and also several other pictures...





8 Syawal

We went back to KL....we still on leave the next day (Monday) but balik awal to avoid the congestion...

So, I think that's all for now...Hari Sabtu lepas ada 4 open houses...On Sunday, I celebrated my bestie's (Jehan) birthday at Mid Valley and then went to 2 open houses...banyaknye makan.....

Satu gambar pun tak amik time open house...mmg terlupa..huhuhu....syok makan je keje...:-D..

Smlm dkt MPH Mid Valley, I bought a few books....from Madelaine Wickham, Dan Brown, Jane Austen and Agatha Christie...teringin nak baca Christie's...so beli la smlm..hehe...Next time (perhaps 3 months from now kot..:p) nak pi MPH lagi and beli koleksi Sidney Sheldon pulak...dah lame nak kumpul..I've read 3 of his books...and they were awesome!!!...will definitely read the others later...hehehe...

OK...till then...Salam..

Selamat Hari Raya and Back to Work...

Salam all...

I'm back to work today...after quite a long Raya hols...I feel the urge to update this blog because it's already 'bersawang'...hehehe...

I have Process Control and Insterumentations laboratory at 2pm...I've quite a free time now since I've finished typing the questions for the Process Control tutorial..I've also corrected the previous tutorials this morning...but sikit je la larat...kene ada mood yg baik baru bole marking paper...kalo tak, serabut kepala!...hehe...

So, last week was good...On the first Raya, we went back to our kampung in Malacca...On the next day, we went to Perak pulak...On the third raya, we went to Penang to visit my grandma...huh...really tired but we really enjoyed the sweet moments...On 5th of Syawal, my in-laws family hold an open house...so many foods to be eaten...I'm gaining my weight now...:-D...setiap hari pun makan2 jer since all the activities involved food!..hahah...

I planned to post an entry about our beraya moment...since my sis Aisya yg jauh di perantauan dah call mintak update stories about Raya...hehehehe...sabar ye cik Ecah...I'll post the stories later..need to collect all the pics from my younger bro Syafiq, my hubby and my sister-in-law...after I've collected all the pics, I'll post an entry yer Cik Ecah...

OK..till then...wanna perform zuhur prayer and then off to the lab...Daa....Salam...

This Ramadhan...

Salam all...

Today is 12th of Ramadhan...this is the first Ramadhan for me as a wife...It's a very different feeling...This is the first time I need to wake up early in the morning to prepare food for sahur...and I can say that it is not really difficult..It's quite exciting...heheh...

Hubby was so helpful...he did help a lot in the food preparation...we divided all the tasks accordingly...I did the cooking...hubby helped to wash all the dishes...but for the sahur, I need to get the food ready by my own...of course la suami tido lagi..hehe...

The 1st until 3rd Ramadhan, we were at my in-laws house in Ipoh...I can't helped feeling so happy...That was the first time I met my niece Eryssa..she is darn cute...but as a baby, of course she did sleep a lot...but according to my sis-in-law, she started to wake up quite frequent now...baby Eryssa, mak lang can't wait to play with you and gelak2 with you..plz grow up fast ya...I think by 3 months old, Eryssa will start to laugh and play a lot...bole la mak lang belikan lotsa toys for you...:-)...

Eryssa and Mak Lang...

OK..beginning from the 4th of Ramadhan I prepared the sahur and berbuka...normally we just bought food from bazar Ramadhan..but we cooked the rice and prepared the drinks by ourselves...just lauk and kuih muih saje yg beli...on 8th of Ramadhan, we berbuka at my mum's house...I bought lotsa lauk yg sedap and kuih from Serdang's bazar...because I can say that the bazar at mum's place is not so up to standard as Serdang's bazar..hehe...sedih benar tgk lauk yg ade..kuikui...So, to add the happiness to my siblings, I bought all the foods they requested...puas hati saye!..I'm happy that I work in Serdang area...with lotsa foods available around...(^_^)v...

On 9th of Ramadhan, hubby asked me to cook for our berbuka...I wasn't very confident at first since I never cooked for berbuka puasa..dengan tak dpt merasa makanan, I thought it was difficult...but then I took the challenge...because challenge is exciting..isn't it?...hehe...so I decided to cook sup ayam berempah, sambal tumis ikan bilis and ayam goreng serai (it looks and tastes like ayam berempah)...hah, that was so brave of me...entah ape ntah rasenye nanti...but I tried my best...I followed my instinct...I started to prepare the ingredients at 3pm..and started to cook around 4pm...I finished the task by 5pm I guess...So, in the end, the outcome was not as I predicted at first...I can say that I got the talent..:p....hubby said all the foods were good...mane tak nye, I bubuh all the rempah ratus yg ada dlm sup tu...hehe...

Sup Ayam Berempah ciptaan saye...ok la for first time nak masak for berbuka...

All time favourite...Sambal Tumis Ikan Bilis...

OK...today I got tutorial class at 11 am...Process Control and Instrumentations...and I'm handling the laboratory for this subject too...mmg mencabar task mak sem ni...huhu...since last year dpt subjek yg 'membunuh' utk ajar tutorial...last year was Engineering Math...wuwuwu...I really hope that I can handle the tutorial for Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics or Physical Unit Operation...those were my favourite subjects...but I think next sem I will not be around bcoz I need to continue my studies...PhD or some people might call it 'Permanent Head Damage'...kahkah...

OK...that's all the babbles for today...till we meet again ya bloggers...

Happy fasting to all Muslims...

Salam....

Convo pics....

Salam..these are the pics during the ceremony...

Wah...sopan santunnye...hehe...

Alhamdulillah...Tibe2 nampak muka Prof. Saleh kat blkg tu...The Dean of Engineering...

Kelihatan amat berisi pada waktu ini...huhu...

Ok...that's all...tunggu minggu dpn pulak for the studio pics...hehe..happy nye next week dah nak bulan Ramadhan...:-)...1st time nak berpuasa dengan suami tercinta...

Wassalam...

My Convo...11/08/09...

Salam...today is my convocation day...Snapped a few pictures...Will collect the official convo pics by this week...and can't wait to collect the studio pic of hubby and me...hehehe...

I felt relax during the convo...unlike during my Bachelor Degree convo 2 years ago...excited+quite nervous...I was also excited during this second time convo...but the excitement was different...

After u get a Master Degree, u'll feel so relieve that u've finished the degree...It's not an easy task to do especially to obtain a research degree...You have to sacrifice so much...sometimes u'll be so happy when u get the desired results...but sometimes, u'll drop your precious tears...and cry your heart out over a few things that might hurt you along the process...Ohhh...it's such a learning process...When u walk during the Graduands Procession, the feeling is different too...not the same as your Bachelor Degree...when you walk into the Hall, u'll feel that all your hard work and sacrifice are paid off...

I'm happy and proud of myself...In my own way...

Ini baru Masters...I heard a lot from my colleague about her PhD convo...the feeling is much much more different...of course since it's a PhD anyway...oh it's hard to define the 'different' feeling that I've been talking about...hehe...only people in my position will understand...

OK..that's all for now...ada lagi pics...tunggu dah dpt nanti bole la post kat blog...:-)...

To all the graduands and graduands-to-be, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thanks to Firah and Rohaiza for coming during my convo...That was very thoughtful of two of you...Thanks so much for the pressie too...Muaxxxx!..

It's me on the big screen...:-)..

It's me walking after taking the scroll...hehe...

Me and the special 'thing'...:-D...

The only difference between the Masters and Bachelor Degree Academic Regalia is the 2 silver lines at each lengan jubah Masters...Bachelor Degree ada satu line saje...And muka saye juga telah meningkat dari segi kebulatan berbanding 2 tahun lepas...heheheheh...

Wassalam...

Little Perak in Bangi...

Salam..hehe...menarik tak tajuk entry kali ni...tadi lepas keje, terus ajak hubby makan kat luar sbb tak larat nak mengemas2 dapur mlm ni...sbb mlm ni nak balik Ipoh...hehe...Jadi, kami pun terus ke Bangi cari tmpt nak makan...Lepas tu, jumpe la cafe di bawah ni...

Ini dia...Nu-in Corner, Little Perak in Bangi...

Hehe..mmg best sgt rase bile jumpe satu cafe yg ada nama Perak di tgh2 Selangor ni...hubby pun kate dia seronok dpt jumpe cafe ni (sbb dia orang Perak sejati....Ipoh mali lagi...)...kuikui...So, makanan yg kami makan ialah Nasi Lemak Ipoh...hehe...ada juga Nasi Lemak Perak...tapi Nasi Lemak Ipoh ni nmpk lagi best...

Nasi Lemak Ipoh

Sedap betul nasi lemak ni...Sambal sotong dia, ya ampun...sedapnye...nasi pun best...Rendang ayam pun same...hehehe...

Air yg kami minum, jus mangga (for me) and Teh Tarik Ipoh (untuk beliau rakyat Ipoh)...hehe...teh tarik ni..rase dia lain dari yg lain lemaknye...tak terlalu manis mcm yg biasa kite minum kat kedai mamak tu...Ni rasa dia milky but light..Rasa mcm dia letak whipped cream dlm tu...hehe...dia punye frothy, ade la nak dekat seinci tingginye...:-D..mmg puas hati...

Teh Tarik Ipoh and Mango Juice

Saye juga ternampak ada keratan majalah yg ditunjuk kat kedai tu..Katenye kedai Perak ni ala2 Starbuck suasana dia...So ape lg, alang2 Starbuck pun saye sudah ban, bole la jimat duit pegi Little Perak ni...Dekat sini ada jugak Frappucino, Cappucino, Latte...lepas tu, kebanyakan makanan and minuman yg dijual, mesti ada nama tmpt kat Perak. Contohnye, Mee Bandung Menara Condong (if I'm not mistaken la...but nama Menara Condong ni mmg ada..:p)...nama Tanjung Malim pun ada...so, kawan saye Cik Firah bole la dtg makan kat sini...bwk sume warga Tanjung Malim dtg...kuikui...

Glamer model2 ini...hehe...

Setakat ni saje la story pasal mkn2...nak kemas baju..malam ni around 10 pm nak bertolak balik Ipoh...mari bercuti2 and tenangkan fikiran (tapi bawak kerja yg melambak ni jugak balik skali)...hehe...kat sane takde internet...jadi kurangla gangguan..hehe...hopefully dpt manfaatkan sepenuhnya masa kat sana...:-)..

Till then peeps..Salam...

Happy Birthday Firah

Salam...sudah lame rasenye tak menulis di sini...sibuk kebelakangan ni...ditambah pula dengan kesedihan yg melanda akibat kehilangan laptop minggu lepas...Minggu ni dah 90% recovered dari kesedihan...jadi baru la semangat sikit nak tulis blog nih..

Hari Khamis lepas, 9 July 2009 saye telah meraikan birthday kawan saye iaitu Cik Firah yg ke suku abad (25th)...hehe...mmg hampir2 terlupa sbb asik fikirkan laptop yg hilang tu..huhu...tapi bile tgk kalendar nmpk 9hb, terus teringat...hehe..So, khamis pagi tu, saye ajak Cik Firah keluar...memandangkan saye pun nak tenangkan fikiran...

Jadi kami ke Mines...and we decided to eat at Secret Recipe...Makanan sempena celebration yg tak seberapa dari saye ni adalah seperti di bawah...

Chicken Lasagna untuk birthday girl....

Beef Spaghetti untuk saye...

Orange Apricot Slushy (for me) and Juice yg tak ingat namanya (for Firah)

Saye dan Cik Firah...

Kami juga order kek baru...tapi satu slice sorang jer...hehe...saye amik Caramel Cheesecake yg sgtla sedap..Firah order kek baru gak tapi tak ingat namanye...ada perasa coffee sikit kot...:-)..Lepas makan, kami pun survey laptop jap and balik ke tmpt asal iaitu UPM untuk menyambung keje...Thanks Cik Firah kerana telah membantu saye melalui proses menggembirakan hati minggu lepas...May Allah bless u always...Happy Birthday To You...:-)...

Back to Work...

Salam...today I'm back to work as a tutor after a long study leave...this sem i'll handle the 'amali' of Process Control and Instrumentation subject...I've just came back from Kursus Kenegaraan di Ulu Sepri, Rembau on Monday...masih terasa sengal2 lagi otot...the Kursus was a very good course for us Malaysian...mengigatkan kembali tentang sejarah Tanah Melayu dlm menuntut kemerdekaan...tentang Perlembagaan Negara...sehingga lah apa yg Malaysia sudah ada dan hadapi skrg...

I'll write an entry or perhaps two entries regarding the BTN course...

Fikiran terasa tenang kat sana...jauh dari segala kesibukan kerja...dpt menumpukan perhatian...enjoy semua aktiviti...menghayati sejarah negara...dpt kenal dgn ramai kwn yg pastinye semua golongan professional yg bakal melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara...ada juga doktor2 pakar yg ingin menyambung kepakaran mereka di luar negara...akauntan dan arkitek yg ingin meneruskan kepakaran atau pengajian dlm bidang masing2...so much to be shared...

For me, BTN is NOT a 'boring' course like other people might say...I love and enjoyed the course...org yang mengatakan BTN ni bersifat perkauman mungkin tidak menumpukan perhatian dan tidak berminat langsung sepanjang kursus dijalankan...jadi terjadilah statement yg bersifat 'bias' begitu...kalau nak tahu ape yg dilakukan di BTN, silalah membuka minda dan hadir ke kursus BTN yg diadakan setiap bulan...

I will collect some pictures from my group mate yg juga merupakan tutor UPM and will plan what to write for my next entry...:-)...

Till then peeps...Selamat bekerja dan berkhidmatlah dgn seikhlas hati...be in the front line...jgn takut utk maju...

Ok...take care..Wassalam...

Kak Jun...

1) Kak Jun adalah seorang insan yg amat berbakat...pandai menjahit, pandai mekap (ni saya baru tau after baca blog kak jun) and yg terbaru sekali, pandai membuat cupcake and cake yg cute and gorgeous!!!!

2) Kak Jun ni dulu dia seorang journalist majalah Jelita and Cosmopolitan...mmg seorang yg byk pengalaman dlm bidang penulisan...sebab tu saye suka baca coretan dia di blog yg canggih manggih Bahasa Melayu nya...Kak Jun jugak rupenye pernah jadi mak andam...tapi sekarang dia layan cupcake and cake jer...hehehe...

3) Kak Jun ada 4 orang anak...iaitu Alia (nama sama mcm saya..hehe), Amir, Arina and Kasih...nama anak2 Kak Jun mmg indah2...:-)..

4) Rumah Kak Jun ni letaknye di Seksyen 4 Subang Jaya...rumah Kak Jun style nye ala2 bali...bile masuk, terasa mcm ada kat SPA pulak...dgn kolam ikan dan dim light kat rumahnye itu..sgt2 menenangkan...patutla idea Kak Jun nak berkarya mmg mencurah2...:-)....

5) Kak Jun mmg seorang yg peramah...wlpn baru 1st time jumpa, tak terasa kekok langsung...kalau seharian lepak2 dgn Kak Jun borak2 pun tak boring...wlpn hari tu jumpa sekejap je, tapi mcm2 cerita kami kongsi...Suami Kak Jun and adik Alia pun peramah org nye...:-)...

OK..itu serba sedikit psl Kak Jun...Jadi skrg tugas KEDUA ialah penerima mesti menyatakan 10 fakta menarik tentang hobi atau diri sendiri...

1) Saya sewaktu kecil dulu mmg gemar menulis cerpen dan karangan...agaknye ikut ciri2 emak saya yg bekerja sebagai penulis buku...mcm2 saye tulis...padahal umur baru 11 tahun...saye jugak suka membaca novel kanak2 yg mak bawak balik dari office...rumah kami dulu ada satu almari besar penuh dgn story books...jiran2 siap dtg pinjam2 lg...skrg ntah mana semua buku2 tu...yg byk kat umah mak skrg ni kamus...mcm2 kamus ada...hehe...skrg bila dah besar ni, masih gemar menulis...tulis2 journal hasil penyelidikan...bahan2 bacaan saya skrg adalah journals and buku2 yg berkaitan bidang kajian saye...Amalkan budaya membaca dlm diri...hehe...

2) Saya masa kecik penah suka dgn jahitan...masa tu umur 10 tahun...sekolah kat Penang...Cikgu Rahmah (guru kelas waktu tu), ajar kami menjahit jahitan crosstitch..bestnye waktu tu..di zaman kanak2 yg begitu innocent...kami menjahit dgn riangnye...buat corak bunga la, buah la and mcm2...dulu saye simpan barang2 jahitan saye seperti pelbagai jenis benang and kain dlm satu bekas aiskrim yg besar...tapi biase la kanak2...sekejap je minat...lepas tu dilupakan..skrg ni dah taktau kat mane semua barang tu...tapi hasrat di hati, nak menjahit jugak nanti isi masa lapang...bole jugak buat hiasan...:-)...

3) Saya tak reti duduk je tanpa buat ape2...wlpn bukak TV, buku atau journal atau majalah mesti di tangan...hehe...

4) Saya seorang yg suke promote apa2 sahaja barang2 yg saye rasakan menarik utk dikongsi bersama...contohnye yg terbaru ialah tudung...hehe...tudung Ariani la,De Zahra la, Hajaba, tudung ala2 Siti Nurhaliza and tudung2 DIY...(^_^)v...

5) Saya skrg suka buat online shopping jer...kdg2 bila mata dah tak larat nak tgk microsoft word atau powerpoint, pandangan saye dialihkan pula pada sales blog yg terdpt dgn byknye di alam siber...dah bykla juga benda yg saye shopping secara online...tudung, kasut, baju...hehe...cantik2 semuanye and harga jauh lebih murah..:-)...

6) Saya skrg dlm proses meningkatkn skil memasak...tiap2 petang msk resipi lain2 sejak akhir2 ni...maklumla hari tu tgh sibuk nak siapkan tesis, tak bole nak fokus buat benda lain..so skrg ni dah start rajinkan diri...i can say that my cooking skill is improving...suami pun senyum smpai telinga balik2 keje je isteri dia dah pakai apron di dapur bersama sudip kuali...hehe..gembiranya hati bila suami kata masakan semakin improve (sbb dia seorang yg sgt teliti dlm setiap makanan yg dimakan)...(^_^)v...out of 10 selalu dpt 9...tapi sambal tumis semalam dpt 10...hehehe....happy!

7) Saya suka kek lapis Sarawak yg berwarna warni...:-)....sedap!!!

8) Saya suka makan aiskrim dan milkshake berperisa Vanila...kalau pegi The Coffee Bean pun mmg suke mintak Vanilla Milk...

9) Saya jenis suka duduk rumah..kalau takde perkara2 menarik utk dibuat kat luar tu seperti shopping and melancong, saye lagi gembira kalau duduk rumah jer...:-)...

10) Saya ingin berjaya dlm hidup...Sebab kesusahan yg pernah dilalui byk mengajar diri ini supaya sentiasa tabah dan lalui semuanya dgn positif...(^_^)v...

Dear John, the BTN is postponed....(^_^)v...

Hai everyone...well, as mentioned above, the Biro Tatanegara course has been postponed to 25th June until 29th June...so, I will be home this weekend..huhu...I've cancelled a lot of plans because at first I have to attend this course from Thursday (tomorrow) until next monday...but it has been postponed...btw, it has nothing to do with John..hehe...

So, I decided to fill up my time with reading...I haven't read novels for a long time since I started my masters study...Now it's the time to read...hehe...I chose to read a story entitled 'Dear John' by Nicholas Sparks...It's a love story...This story is one of the 4 stories compiled in Reader's Digest Select Editions which I purchased a few months ago...I asked mom to read them first and recommends which stories are worth reading...hehe...since mom was quite free last month, so she finished all the 4 stories in just a short time...ngehngeh...Thanks mom...:-)...

Ok...these words caught my interest to read this story first compared to the other 3 stories...

"When a man's a soldier, which comes first - his duty to the armed forces, or being with the woman he loves? John thought he knew. But then came September 11."

Hehe...so I wanna finish all the ten chapters in this story...Reading English books is a way to improve my English...To Firah and Jehan, kalau ada buku2 cerita best, plz recommend them to me okay..:-)...

Till then...Daa...

2 Hari di KLCC

Salam peeps..last week I spent 2 days at KLCC..Wednesday and Thursday because of SMIDEC 2009..my fruit peeler di pamerkan kat situ under booth MOHE (Ministry of Higher Education)...but penyelidik adalah dialu2kn dtg sebab yg akan jaga products are staffs from RMC...so kami dtgla sekejap2 je...
