3.56 PM

3.56 PM, October 27, 2007, Tengku Iedildzuhrie Putra (Iedil), Deputy Chairman of UKEC 2006/2007 committee have declared that the committee now, led by our one and only one of a kind leader, Wan Mohd Firdaus, has officially STEPPED DOWN.

For a moment there, I needed something hard to hit me in the face and snap me out of the dream. Is this for real? I didn't want the AGM day to end... But it was all a reality, I had to go through it whether I liked it, loved it or not. Reports were presented, account balances were shown and were closed, all Malaysian Society Presidents were present in the what I felt like a numb-environment Malaysia Hall, throughout the day. Truth be told, I was enjoying the last few hours before that 3.56. I miss the previous committee already. *sigh*

Earlier in the morning, Hafiz was so cute and funny man! He came to assist me in the voting session for Queen Mary and ended up going to Whiteleys halfway! haha...Good thing Ron, (My Ex President) came along to fill in his space. But then again, it wasn'texactly the right thing to do, listening to candidates presenting their manifestos with Ron, he makes everything sounds funny and I started laughing! :D Bottom to top : Not much competition and debates between A CONTESTANT (for most) and all were nice and smooth...

Well not really EVERYTHING though.I thought Shahril's (Candidate for 2007/2008 Deputy Chairman) was quite complicated! Just him alone took about a WHOLE HOUR to end. But anyhow, Shahril did a great job in tackling all, and I mean the millions of questions posted to him, and for that Congratulations Shahril! To be honest, I thought the questions and debates were going in circles and not heading anywhere,hence I suggested that Firdaus take a break to allow the Muslims to perform their Asar prayers and to the rest, to take a short breather. Things were starting to heat up in the hall, it wasn't funny anymore and started diverting away from "Why am I running for Deputy Chairman of UKEC", not too much to my liking. Everything started to head towards the political side...*penat penat nak layan*

UKEC, Malaysian Student Leaders SUmmit 2007. Our baby project! Alia and I couldn't have done it if Firdaus wasn't in his mood to save the world this one day after Projek Amanat Negara!

Khai's turn was a lil late dueto the prolonged Q&A during Shahril's hence just a short one for Khai's. Anyhow, Khai is now Firdaus's successor and the current President of UKEC whilst Shahril won for Deputy. Congratulations to the whole new committee!

(From the first pic : Khai is the one seated on my right and Shahril, the one directly behind Khai)

Jaga UKEC baik baik k :) May you be able to take UKEC to a higher height and achieve further!

The new friends I made, society's Presidents I haven't seen for long like Alyaa! Then Kak Shasa who dropped by to see us, and Shak whom I managed to catch up with, and Elina too!

For what happened afterwards...only certain some of you might know and I really want to say Thanks, ESPECIALLY to Firdaus for the encouraging words before you left, Hana and Ari for your great concern and rationality on the situation :) also, Alia my housemate for being there for me all the time, Lopes the ever ready listener, Fazril for comforting me, Dad who rationalized the situation and opened my eyes and also Mr President, Khai for understanding and calling me at night. Then Aliya too whom I met on the way home. Thanks all of you guys! Means a lot to me when you guys were there for me when it happened! Sayang korang sangat :)

P/s : Wished you were here Shura! I just had the worst day :( Managed to speak to my best friend for the longest time yesterday, a London-Melbourne conversation that made my day!

Btw, thanks for inviting me to the open house Edgewarians :) The food was yummylicious! Sorry I didn't eat that much, my mind was stuck at the Malaysia Hall sekejap. hehe....But it did manage to pull me away from UKEC nightmares for a bit.

it's 3.30 AM and I am wide awake...With mixed feelings

UKEC AGM is tomorrow. My days with UKEC are officially over. Nostalgic moments and working on the last night before the AGM with the whole committee was the most happiest thing I could ask for. Thanks you guys! :) It is now 3.30 am, I need to get up at 6.30... I don't wanna sleep. If I do, tomorrow will then come faster...no? The whole UKEC supreme council from outside London have arrived and staying in Malaysia Hall.

Oh well...Great experiences, been there, done that. COuldn't ask for anything more valuable.

I don't wanna go through this, can I? *sigh*

Anyway, Dato Azman is here, and so is Reez and Hasli and Dr Nung. Now that's a happy thought, at least :) Jan and the others from KRIS arriving soon. Sorry Hasli I couldn't make it to your open house! and thanks for the invitation btw :D

UKEC revisited

UNITED KINGDOM & EIRE COUNCIL for Malaysian Students

Today...My inner self got the better of me I guess...

It was a lovely walk across hyde park earlier in the morning. The cool breeze and the friendly community. The hyper puppies and the happy babies, all running around with nothing to worry about. It was all nice and pretty, topped with a beautiful background of the greeens :)

Then, the rest of the day...Firdaus is here! YES, WAN MOHD FIRDAUS. I helped Firdaus sort out UKEC stuffs prior to the AGM. Malaysia hall was like my second home whenever Firdaus is around. Anyway, we arranged everything in the room to a systematic-way of arrangement and I was given an extra task of settling all the photo albums and paper documents of all ukec events.

This was when...Going through the pictures...paper works...documents...letters and replies and having Firdaus' company brought me back to the old times when we were busy organizing all these events. Nostalgic. I'm going to miss UKEC.... Period

AGM is this weekend. Alia and I have the MSLS report to present and votings to do. Who do I vote? Who do I want in the next committee? Can I not attend the AGM...It's just too much for me to go through I think....My inner self thinks so.

Anyway, all the past experiences I went through came running in my mind all over again when I was sorting all the things in the UKEC office. The hard times we went through, the times when I was hurt, the good and happy times, everything! I love the committee and I wished it was the first day when I joined UKEC all over again! The day we discussed about Projek Amanat Negara, and how Firdaus described me as the 18 year old who's doing a few degrees...heh? (Well, it is Firdaus man. He ends up describing everything and everyone in the simplest way! ) hahaha...And in the end Tock came up with a name for me which was "Baby of the UKEC".

The whole helping Zarif out for career's fair as a start, to mind boggling Projek Amanat Negara, and at last we were able to bring ourselves together, going through the most difficult obstacles and organized the FIRST Malaysian Student Leaders Summit in Malaysia.

How I started getting involve...it's history. Too long to be writing bout it, but I must say it was funnily a coincidentally kinda thing, and I cherish every single experience I got from working with the UKEC. I sayaaaaaang UKEC and it's current committee :D

Well, after this, honestly, I guess it's time for me to slow down. As much as I wanna be involve and gain more experiences...I'm in 2nd year, and I know at times, UKEC involves loads of time and probably ....just maybe, I have gotten too attached with the current committee. I have gotten Hana's consent to be a nerd, kan Hana. hahahaha...EEEE!

After this, I'm going to miss the orders and pressure and stress I get from Mr President, his rush here and there attitude and his weird character that pops up at odd times, all the ups and downs and also the hyper lil Firdaus in him, that comes out when he's tooooo engross in his work! I will miss you very much Firdaus! The one president which I personally think is one of a kind :D Thanks for getting me involved and giving me the opportunities which I think I would never have gotten if I did not get involved.

You've given me something really valuable, couldn't ask for anything better!

And then, the rest, Iedil, Lopes, Tock, Kak Ain, Zarif.... and also, Faezah and LIana (but I'm always at your house, so no difference! hehe...) *sigh*

Oh well...Some things are meant for you to go through it and gain experience, not to get too attached to em.

And Alia S, thanks for being such a dear on the way back! Sayang ness you roomate! :)

and so...I had a GREAT TODAY. Nostalgic :D

Good luck to all the candidates who are running!! May the best candidate, by merits, win :)

thoughts that runs in my mind...

Exactly a week since mum and dad came and today's my first day coming back to my own house after a week staying at the government apartment. Mum and Dad have gone to visit abang and the rest in Ireland. I'm surely enjoying the moment that they are here in the UK :)

Last Friday mum decided to cook dinner and invited some friends over namely the edgeware houses and the bayswater! It was superb and everyone had fun. Nothing much really happened, just more open houses over the weekend and more time spent with mummy and daddy. Crashed through Kak Rush's Petronas open house, and then made it to Kak Shasa's and by the time Faezah and I decided to leave, I was too knackered to accompany Zril to Aimi's at Kilburn. Anyhoo...everything was good. As usual, everytime I go to Kak Sha's, we'll end up playing Wii :) Met Hana, Basyar and Ridzwan!!! It's been soooo long! Oooh and Firdaus is here already! Excited no more for me coz now like Alia said, it just means that I need to finish up on my report cepat. All my things came in one piece, thanks Firdaus for bringing it and thanks Liana and Pian for taking em :) Oh oh, and YUMMY FAMOUS AMOS too! Sedddaaaap!! Next time bring more k Firdaus. Met him for a short while yesterday to pass his luggage bag which I think weighed like a gazillion tonnes! *bleerghh* Khai and Zarif came along too. Kinda miss seeing them ever so often back in Malaysia!

UKEC AGM is just around the corner. I need to sit and finish up the MSLS report with Alia and go through it before Saturday. ( Note to self : Discipline Discipline!). Good luck to all those running btw! Something to look forward to or not? I miss the stress and pressure working with the ukec actually...and all the Krispy Kreme we used to get whilst working!

Been seeing a lot of Zril lately and yes, he's been de stressifying me, which does help :) The walks to Argos and Faezah's, the hanging out and snacking and fattening me up with cookies and high calory food. THANKS FAZRIL! :D but then again...too much of Zril means he is trying hard to transform me into a materials engineer! *Imperial Style*

Anyway, I came back home today to see yummy chocolate brownie waiting for me, thanks to the housemates! It was yummylicious, I finished the whole tray! *ooops* :) I've missed them both and I surely did manage to catch up with the roommate, Alee with her 20 minutes pillow talk. And then there was this funnily-weird conversation with Phoebe. Kelakar kelakar :D I swear the housemates thought I was crazy laughing at the laptop! Phoebe's fault eh!

Oh well, courseworks are getting tougher like as if they plan not to let you graduate! hahaha...Exaggeration giler! but it's ok I guess, coping coping. My student oyster is here btw!!! Weird looking Alia on the card man! *giggles*

Anyway, gotta hit the bed soon or I will not wake up early esok, but then again I have a day off tomorrow. I'll probably get some work done at high street ken.

*I miss mummy and daddy and abang and kak Azura and the lil nieces*

Nites!

Feeling so happy!

Mum and Dad are in London!! I'm soooo happy!! It's been good and I've been a happy girl :) Gone jalan jalan with them, hung out at the apartment with them (high street Ken is soooo pweeettttyyy), eating a lot and and....just being happy being around them. Ooooh, and I got duit raya from Malaysia!! Thanks Uncles and Aunties and all the working and married cousins! I love it when they datang! And abang, you owe me duit raya too!! since you make us pergi Ireland to visit you for raya next week...ooohh...I can't wait to see you and Kak Azura and the lil lil rascal nieces!

I miss my housemates!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alia and Kiran, dimanakah kamu berdua? hahaha...Yar right the house is quieter without me around! TIIPPPUUUU GILER KORANG NI!!!! *grins*

I'm trying to coincide our timings ni sebab you suruh I balik, I balik tau! but...you takde kat rumah pun la doink! :)

I'm not that noisy please in the house! I hardly see you two anyway! I'm always in the Uni, balik I'll be in the room!! *except when I'm hungry, I think you'll see me running about in the house more then*. hehe....I miss korang! :D Cepat la datang tonight! Mummy and daddy can't wait to see you whacko housemates of mine!

"The house is different la without ALia around" and "I wanted to bake brownies, but you takde, tak jadi nak bake la babe" were the two sweetest things Kiran and Alee told me when I was away!Oh well, but I talk to Alee hari hari!!!! BEST :D Eh hun, tak mati k kalau I tak pergi holiday with you! But anyway, yes I am going on that trip with you housemate! Just for you! I can't wait!!!!

The whole week has been a happy week! Seeing that I was staying at high street Ken, went to Faezah's and spent time with my four external housemates, was SUPPOSED to go for Hyde Park rugby but ended up staying at Faezah's and started snacking till the boys came back from rugby (sowwiie Iedil and Lomon! ), hung out with Jared, Zril and Iyngy (heh...so muhibah! Multi racial us :D ) which was super nice, and been spending time with mum and dad. Ooohhh...and it doesn't help that dad is always up to some naughty mischieves and making me happy! and mum...she brings me jalan jalan shopping! hahaha...I'm loving it!

Right now, I'm waiting for my two sayangs to balik from school and then I'm off to see mum and dad :D "Alee and Kiran, if it ends up macam semalam, you tak balik by the time I keluar, then tonight I shall make sure you suffer!! hahaha..."

Tomorrow, there's Petronas raya open house and and.... FIRDAUS IS COMING FROM MALAYSIA!!! YAY!!! Bring famous amos! It's been a while since we saw Fido, don't think there's anything to catch up except for the things that has been happening during raya la. Tak nak tau pasal your work, boleh tak?hehehe... ;)

*Smiles from ear to ear*

Just happy :) 4 weeks have gone by, another what..? 7 more to go before it's the winter break! and I've booked my ticket to Spain already for the hols!!!!!! and then and then...I'm flying to Ireland to see you Abang! I'll celebrate new year with the family this year k, so that you cannot complain if I beg you to come to London. Why not you turun London huh? You're the working Doctor and I'm the cashLESS student k! doo doo!

*Abang and Kak Azura and my two rascal nieces Raja Erin Sofea and Reana!*

Then the Raya messages and cards from the Khazanah peeps made my week too!!! All the 'Mel Udara' and text messages!! Jan and Dr Ras, cepat la datang!!! and we shall go to Surrey k Jan!! Cepat cepat, I'm waiting! and to the rest of em who are coming too....eeeee...Can't wait! I've missed ALL OF THEM! SELAMAT HARI RAYA TO YOU GUYS TOO! ;D

Pictures worth A lil more than a thousand words

Raya this year was all unexpected BUT...It was SPLENDID!! I LOVED THIS WEEKEND TO THE MAX and I'm feeling extra happy and semangat-ed! Met so many friends and people from around UK, got to eat yummy Malaysian cuisines...All the rendang and ketupat and kuih raya, all the continuous open houses! WHOA!!! I wanna turn back time! It's such a happy thought and times. What more

Phoebe came down to London!! :D

Anyway....

In simple words, we went to so many open houses mainly, Pak Ya's (MSD Warden), Mr ambassador, Datuk Abdul Aziz, Encik Zaki's (Student Attache), and then the BIG MALAYSIAN STUDENTS DEPARTMENT OPEN HOUSE! Next week, Petronas, JPA, and all the other friends of ours :) mmmmm.....I love eating! It's been a great raya with the greatest company! Thanks to all my London family!

*With Usop, Iedil, Zarif and Alia...Somehow rather, it's spells UKEC in my eyes! haha...*

The "lower 6" batch at Hyde Park

Phoebe's down in London!

First day of raya as the day kicks off!

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin!

It's all so unexpected. EVERYTHING!!! I'm not ready!!! :( *SIGH*

Anyway, Raya has been declared dah and it's TOMORROW, OCTOBER 12TH 2007!!!
A day earlier than expected!
so,

SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN!

Everyone is here at my house at the moment. We just had our buka together and got the news about raya at the same time. It's a happy-sad thought. As much as we wanted Raya to fall, we really did not expect it to be on Friday. We have classes, lectures, courseworks due and class quizzes! Some are already planning to skip man...but how am I suppose to? I have a coursework due and all courseworks are equally as important as the final exams as it is counted into the finals. I can't bunk just to enjoy those extra hours which could affect my coursework seeing that my head is not in the raya mood now. Oh well....

Anyway, sembahyang Raya is at 8.30 tomorrow, Malaysia Hall! Yay!! I'm going :) After that only will I go to school. Going to get my baju raya out!!! EXCITED NYE!!!! :D

Earlier I called abang to wish him Happy Raya!! He wants me to go and celebrate raya with him and Kak Azura and aunty and my two lil rascal nieces Sofe and Reana and my cousin Fara!!! But how...? I need to get a flight ticket to Ireland then and it's quite last minute, it'll be sooooooooo mahal. "Abang, why don't you get me a ticket since I'm your *ahem* favourite cuz". It would be so nice if I were to celebrate with my family members in Ireland *dreaming about it*. Mum and dad are coming too!!! I sooooo can't wait!!! Maybe after that will we go to Ireland then and after your exams k Abang? And next time, it's your turn to call me! The older ones have to call the younger ones to check on them ler....Kodi la abang ni! hehe... :)

Back home in Malaysia, raya is on Saturday, so just wanted to say Selamat Hari raya to all my family members back in Malaysia,Mummy, Daddy, Bang Long, my friends everywhere including that one sesat one Firdaus, Lopes and Wan Zhu and those I know from all around ; KHAZANAH included!!

Plans from now onwards :

• Finish up my coursework
• Iron my baju raya
• Wake up for sembahyang raya at Malaysia Hall
• Go to school in Raya clothes *oo...bestnye! Macam tourism Malaysia*
• If lecturer is nice enough to understand bout Eid and let us free, then it is the open house at His Excellency Datuk Abdul Aziz's!!! High Comm open house!! (Hmmm..is this where the duty of Msian Society President comes in? To emphasize on the importance of Raya for the benefit of the Malaysian muslim students? hehe...)
• Wait for Phoebe to arrive from Birmingham

For now...I got to sit and finish up my coursework!! and it will be the first ever NO-RAYA YEAR for me.

IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

QMMS Dinner

YAYNESS!!!!!!!!!!

Queen Mary Malaysian Society Fresher's Dinner at Holiday Villa Hotel, London has OFFICIALLY ended successfully :D

The week which I feared I couldn't handle most dah habis!! This whole week, I had two courseworks due on Tuesday, a presentation for my economics module (yes, publis speaking,bleerrgghh), TV coverage by RTM 1 and TV 3 to be broadcasted back in Malaysia two more coursework came pouring in due a day before Eid (crazy Uni!), UKEC Malaysian Student Leaders Summit report which Alia and I will be working on and the Queen Mary dinner! Streeesssss..... I swear it's the worst week ever I've been stuck in the room practically 24 hours of the day!

The past three weeks since I've been back in London, we, the committee have been planning for this upcoming dinner to welcome the new Queen Mary freshers and to also welcome back the old students. Decided on Holiday Villa and afterwards, all the planning and settling of things and arrangements started kicking off, with me dealing with Holiday Villa and using my skillful skills (hahaha...) to negotiate for the best price, Hafiz the super duper helpful vice, promoter, supporter and handle-r of sticky situations, Helen the super promoter, Aaron sending out the emails and handling the list of attendance, Min Hui guarding the budget, and Eric the entertainer and the one with super practical ideas :) I love my committee!

We were expecting at least 30 to 40 to confirm their attendance seeing that we've promoted our event well and have also got the best deal from Holiday Villa.Well...it turned out....90 of them confirmed their attendance for the night and on that night itself, including gatecrashers, it came up to a great total of close to 120 who turned up!!! Good thing we saw this coming hence, there were no "tak cukup food la, no place la". Everyone was catered for, and I'm so glad :D

It was a great event altogether! Everyone got to mingle around and got the opportunityto make new friends. The 1st years opened up and started fitting in, the seniors were more than friendly in welcoming the newbies (Yes, especially you Emmanuel!)...It was just SPLENDID!

Pictures will be up soon! at the moment, I've got Linear Algebra due on Friday and next big thing is Raya celebration this weekend! I can't wait *smiles*
Phoebe's coming down to London tomorrow and Mum and Dad too are coming sooooooooooooooooooooon!!!


Feeling happy!!!!!!!!!!....*runs off to do Algebra*

Disease....

I don't know what has gotten into me, but Malay songs have been playing frequently on my iTunes!!! Whacko kid kan? So patriotic la tiba tiba kan!

One day you play basketball like a pro, skipping to school happily, doing homework and going to classes like all other kids around and the next you are not able to estimate specific distance, slow at responding and reacting, unsteady and clumsy motion of the body due to a failure of the fine coordination of muscle movements....all due to a disease called spinocerebellar degeneration. No cure has been found thus far..... It brings me to think how lucky I am to still be able to run around, move about, talk normally etc.
just a true story which moved me

Anyway, covered by sweet strawberry smell decorated with ALL-GREEN decos, the room is really a condusive place to do work and I'm not complaining :) Yesterday we went grocery shopping to stock up the house and to be honest, I don't think it was a good idea! At night afterwards, all us three housemates paid frequent visits to the kitchen!! aaaggghh! It seems like we live to eat and not the other way around. *grins*

I've been bogged down with courseworks and so many other matters that my own housemates don't see me often eventhough I'm IN the house. Yes, IN THE HOUSE! I've been staying in the room, it's just as good as staying in the student halls. Damn! So anti social man. But no la, seriously, after all works are done, I'll make sure I'm seen in the house skipping about being hyper and irritating everyone else :D hehehe....For now, it's just me, the scented candle,tea/coffee, music and loads of work. and the routine circulates around this - wake up-do work-more work-even more work-brain dead-buka puasa-work-sleep. *sigh* I'm tired...Sleep deprived...But it's ok. I CAN DO THIS!

Last night, Phoebe and I listened to Hairspray musical whilst accompanying each other do work and it turned out I managed to finish up my required readings! Yippee!!! and...Today, Shura woke me up with her presence :) Oh I miss my best friend sooo much, and we spoke for a good one hour before it was time for her to buka. It was good to hear from her. She wants me to go back in December so that we can claim our 'just-the-two-of-us' times, but it's not gonna happen unless mummy and daddy decides to allow me or maybe if Shu agrees to pay for my flight back. hehe...Oh well. Next summer then hun.

Later, we had this tv coverage thing by RTM 1 and TV 3 which I thought went really well! All of us were nicely dressed in our traditional clothes and everyone looked reeeaaally nice. Watch out Malaysia! We will be broadcasted on Malaysian TV soon :) Then Mr Lopes yang cool agreed to spoil me with Krispy Kreme when he comes to London which will be in another 19 days!! Woot woot! Krispy Kreme addiction is the greatest sickness ever! Thanks Mr Iliyas Jamil aka Lopes :D

To the housemates, thanks for the yummylicious dinner btw! Really appreciate it :) Though Alia masak pedas giler macam nak bunuh I. hahaha...it was still delicious. And Kiran's personal acid-ish desert, unique in it's own way :D I sayang both my housemates!!! At the moment, one's out there in the living room....last I saw her, she was dancing with a mop! hahaha...and Kiran's in her room, on the comp as usual.

I'll go see them in a bit :D Now back to more work....Coursework is killing me! It can be classified as a killer disease if Universities do this too often :(

and so...life goes on

Thanks to Belkin , I am now fully connected :)

Current status : Knackered

Mood : Moodless

Song Artist : Letto

Surrounding : The same-name housemate is ironing clothes and getting ready for school

The past two days have been hectic. With soooo many things to settle and unpack, the stress and pressure to endure, all because we just moved in from Flat 5 to Flat 3. I'm missing Flat 5 and the extra whacko housemates, Lin, Faezah, Aisyi and LIana! Anyhoo, both Alia (s) are finally the permanent tenant of Flat 3 and are loving it, turning it into an IKEA furnished home and decorating the room Green. YAYNESS! :D

October 3rd was the worse but a memorable day. Everything just did not seem to fall into place! Early in the morning we had to meet Shaida at 10.30 AM at Docklands which is in Zone 2 and which required us to take the DLR instead of the normal tube lines to come to terms bout the tenancy agreement and receive the house keys. Just as we thought that everything would go smoothly, IKEA decided to call and deliver our goods between 10 to 1 whereby if no one was home it'll be extra charge for another delivery. *How IKEA burns our pocket*

So I went back to the house, whilst Alia and Mudha went to meet Shaida. They came back to the house at bout 11 ish and there was still no sign of IKEA! *sigh* Wasted our energy panicking pagi pagi je. hehe... The whole day afterwards was cleaning, clearing the house and construction work in progress! We started to assemble the IKEA goods with the help of Mudha the superman :D *Thanks Mudha* What to do, we bought an extra wardrobe and a big bookshelf. God, it was soooo tiring I tell you. We were constructing into the night before we realized that it was time for buka. Hungry, tired and stressed up all in one! The house was in a complete mess with limited space to move about freely.

Alia S decided to skip school the next day so as to settle all other house related matters ; Water, Electricity, Gas, etc. Me? The house is just outside my Uni! Doesn't require much energy to actually walk to lecture halls, so I diligently went for class, all tired and exhausted. Lomon came over to help later in the day. I can tell you, both nights we were dead tired , we slept almost immediately when we laid on the bed. What more, we couldn't bring ourself to wake up for sahur, hence the weakness during the day.

Oh well, you win some, you lose somee. Tired and hungry but at least the house is spic and span now. In a good environment to start doing work at least. Alia S just went for class, so it's me, the laptop and work loads. I miss the simple summer lifestyle at home, where you wake up and take things as it passes by.

October falls

On Saturday, I called my adorable lil tikus Doctor whose there in Birmingham!!! It was a good long phone call and I'm so happy to hear from her :) I miss Phoebe and the best friend Shuey in Aussie :D

Mum and dad called!!!!!!!!!!!! *happily running around in the room*
We spoke for so long about everything that happened the past week since I reached London. It was great!!
I'm so happy. Oh, don't they make my day. The whole week, I spoke to them thrice? now including this recent looooong phone call, makes it four :) I was planning to sleep in, since it's a nice cool Sunday, when I received the call. Afterwards, I went through my first-week's notes for a bit, seeing that everyone were still in dreamland ;D

Mid morning, around noon, Faezah and I went over to Usop's at Bankside. He just arrived from Malaysia. It was like walking down memory lane :) I remembered those times when I used to walk down the same road to Bankside beside River Thames, close to London Bridge to visit Faezah. It was a nice Sunday walk, but seeing that it is next to the River, it was sooo sejuuk! Got my baby blue Specs from Usop which I'm soooo in love with and mooncakes (yummy yummy) :D Now, let's see what Firdaus and Iliyas will bring when he comes! Spent the whole journey time with Faezah, we used the internet for a bit at Usop's, hung out with him and headed home afterwards.

Wawa was already at home when we balik and we did nothing after that but went through the Argos catalogue for no reason. It wasn't helpful as it only made us wanna buy more things. *grins* I think I woke up so early and walked so much with an empty stomach during the day, I was pretty knackered by then. Fell asleep for 15 minutes which seriously felt like an hour has passed by. Then, Faezah took over after that! hehe...She slept way longer :) We decided not to play touch rugby with Iedil and Lomon in the end, coz we were all too tired and it was so cold outside!

Alia and I went out for some fresh air in the evening and bumped into Afif for the second time this week! Then we headed home, and decided to cook nasi lemak, Negri style! hahaha...Pedas giler the sambal!!!!! Faezah's Wan made it from Malaysia. Whoa...I had to gulp down so many glasses of water before the sting went away!!! hahahaha...And and..The housemates just found it funny! Then, Liana, Lin and Sufian went over to the boys whilst Faezah, Alia and I stayed back to watch a series sekejap.

Later at night, I did some studying, a continuation from where I stopped in the morning and I managed to finish up everything that I wanted to with the help of Aisyah's soothing songs playing from the ipod and Aisyah's company and also the one up there. It was a nice feeling by the time I went to sleep as I've settled everything that I planned for the day.

Monday morning is the worse! hahaha...The monday morning blues. There was no Smallville on tv today, so we slept straightaway after subuh. I went to Uni and halfway, met Sabby and Yi!!!!!!!!! Oh I miss em so much :) I thought I recognized the girl with the pink highlighted hair in front of me. I called out 'Sabby' and it was her. hehehe...Sabby + Me is not a very good combination though. We go crazy! hehehe.... Even during our internship days, when we go for lunch with Ifen and Sue Mae and the other Petronas interns, everyone agreed that we make a bad combination....But I love it :D

Anyway, class was...super hard today. But a message made my day! Yay! Got another one later today, and then balik time :) I have 9 o'clock tomorrow man! *sigh*

I'm counting the days till Raya (and we can carry out our super plan, us 6 housemates) and till mum and dad arrives!!! Cepat cepat! :D

Oh btw, this is something I found quite amusing :)
