Syukur..

Alhamdulillah...Syukur atas rezeki kurniaan-Nya...After being married for 1 year & 4 months, this is a gift from Allah S.W.T....My husband and I are ready for this new life...Syukur Allah S.W.T permudahkan...to be frank, mmg dah mula rasa perlunya ada org baru...:-)...At the age of 26, I feel dah smpai masanya...:-)..

Segalanya berlaku atas izin-Nya...Syukur...Semoga kami berdua kuat and sihat...Walaupun badan terasa lain sikit, tetap kena kuatkan semangat and gagahkan diri utk ke School...Alhamdulillah...so far belum ada 'morning sickness'...:-)...Tapi hari ni, dah mula rase nak mkn benda masam...hehehe...So I ate apple just now...and now feel slightly better...

I met the midwife last Thursday...and alhamdulillah, based on normal cycle calculation, I'm in 5 weeks of pregnancy...still very early...kena rehat byk...jalan slow2 ke school...Alhamdulillah, kekuatan masih diberikan oleh Allah S.W.T...:-)...InsyaAllah the due will be on 28th December 2010...:-)...Semoga semuanye dipermudahkan...

I aim to submit a 3-month Progress Report within this month...InsyaAllah...skrg ni dah nak siap...tinggal touch up sikit je...Syukur masih diberikan kekuatan utk siapkan keje...:-)...

OK...nmpk gaye mcm dah tumpul sikit skill menulis blog...kuikui...

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...:-)..

Alhamdulillah...

Salam...just wanna inform that I've arrived safely in Manchester..Currently at my friend's place...after Zohor prayer, we'll be going to my house...and then have our lunch...and after that, shopping for necessities...I'll update later..

Thanks so much everyone for the doa...May Allah S.W.T. bless all of us...amin..(^_^)v...

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...
