Malaysia

Alhamdulillah.. now I am back in Malaysia safely.. it is truly hot, but that is Malaysia.

I don't have any mood actually to jot down much about these past days. Just wanna say that, whoever wish to contact me, please do so via SMS since it is quite infrequent to get internet connection once back in Malaysia. It's not because I'm living in an isolated place with no internet connection but time has changed... no more like a student as before which most of the time if not at Uni then you will be spending much of your time in front of your laptop. True?

To those who haven't got my mobile number in Malaysiaand wish to have one, you can send me a personal message whether via Facebook, Friendster, email or YM. k? =)

Until we meet again, inshaAllah..

S.I.C.K.N.E.S.S

I was mad today.

Being mad because I HAVE to do something that I don't like.

I am sick of it.

Sick!

.. and I am NOT joking.

Everytime during and after doing it, I will really feel sick.

With the head starts to pound, the stomach starts to discomfort, the legs start to feel exhausted, the throat feels of vomitting... and everything... everything...

.... and wanna know what is that thing that always makes me SICK?

Shopping.

aaaarghh!!

Danish Haziq

so people, here is my first ever nephew, 2 months old.. isn't it sooo adorable? =))

Towards the last days....

Some people might be puzzled, where have I been, disappeared for quite a long time. Indeed, it is almost 1 month without any entry.. well, there you go :

20th June until 1st July 09 (11 days)

Manchester - Nottingham - Birmingham - Cardiff - Bath - Oxford - London - Manchester

6th July till 8th July 09

Manchester - Stafford - Birmingham (buying Queen Anne, hehe) - Bicester Village Outlet Shopping, Oxfordshire - Stoke-On-Trent - Manchester

^^

That had been really tiring but exciting journey with a lot of experience, lessons, and also blessings from what I would rather call it, "My hope on, hope off journey." Well, now I prefer to just be at home, enjoying my free (last) days in Manchester.. gyming with close friends... feeling great when sweating much. =)

BUSY-ness

I used to think that I would be so much free without anything to be bothered with when it comes to July. But I am totally wrong. Having thought to spend much of my free time to read and cook various of dishes, I noticed that I hardly found time to those two things, even to just be in the kitchen to cook for more than 5 minutes! Haish. What a poor me.

A lot of things actually need to be done before I leave the UK by the end of this month (inshaAllah). Sometimes I think that I should choose to go home in August instead of July. So one month truly holiday in the UK.

SUMMER?

Yet, I don't know whether to call this Summer or Autumn or... rather rainy season? Last week, there were some days with very hot weather, reaching the temperature of 34.4 degree Celcius..but this week, it has been cold again.. back to the temperature of 13 to 15 degree Celcius..with rains in the morning and evening..

-sigh-

Although, I will miss UK temperature once I'm back in Malaysia.. nice..not too hot... and to tell the truth, I haven't been in Manchester (or in the UK) in July or August since 2006. So I did not really know actually what Summer is like, rather I heard from my Malaysian friends around me that used to stay in the UK during Summer holiday that it was hot like in Malaysia. . even hotter. Hurmm... I think it's not applicable anymore this year.

GRADUATION

The graduation day is approaching... and it is actually scheduled to be tomorrow. Aah, I almost forget about that actually, with my mind packed with anything else to settle with. The other reason why is that, is.. because I am not attending the ceremony, so it is like in the very last row of "What to do in July" list. However, I am still going to the hall (inshaAllah) but will be just waiting outside... waiting for my friends to come out of the hall to take pictures together as the last memories.

Why I am not attending the graduation ceremony?

- Smile-

It's just.. because.. I don't want to.

That's all.

Well.. to me, it's nothing. When people say, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you know. You should go. Otherwise you will regret it. After many years of hard work, now it's over. Why not going and get your reward for it??"

and my answer is: "No regret. It's my choice. The certificate can be obtained from the Student Service Centre what, not necessarily from the graduation ceremony..and.. I did not study at the University for this reward."

Allah has brought me here for something more important than that.

- Smiling -

I'll see you again on some other day (inshaAllah).

Until then, do take care.. (",)

The bless..

Alhamdulillah.. today was full with bless.. good news.. happiness.. and gratefulness.. (",)

So here, I would like to express my utter gratitude and also to congratulate these lucky people :

:: Hey, thank you for your kind intention to buy me the BBQ Wings from the Chicken Cottage too. Second person ... hehe.

We will see each other again.. inshaAllah.. (",) ::

Somebody #3 and somebody #4

:: Alhamdulillah, I am so happy for you two that the spouse finally got the job. The truth is, it's not easy to get that job due to high competition every year, but you just made it.

... and on 26th June the shipping people will come to my house to collect the boxes. So, everything must be completed by 12pm tomorrow.

Will see you all again.. inshaAllah.. until then, do take care.. (",)

It's NOT the end .. yet...

She just officially finished with MEng!!!

She really wants to talk about the final demonstration that took place yesterday. But.. maybe in later time..... a lot of things are lingering in her mind now..that she really needs time to arrange her next life accordingly. Yes school has ended, but it's not the end for everything.

Indeed, relief not yet reaches her heart.

............................. life goes on ..............................

After so long..

Silent

I have been silent for so long right..? Seriously the journey towards the end of Uni life keeps me busy all way long... and the time I am writing this, it is another 6 days to go! Uhh, am so looking forward to it..

My group (and also other groups) has submitted the Final Report that was due last Thursday, 28th May. The five guys in my group stayed back late that night before in the computer cluster at our department to finish the final touch-up with the report, editting and so on, in fact they did not go home that night. Not a nuctural person I am, I got the excuse from the group manager to go back earlier that night with my other girl friend after being asleep for a couple of minutes on the PC desk.

Finally... it's over...

Birthday Wishes

First and foremost, I would like to thank to those who have sent me the thoughts and wishes for my birthday last Sunday, 31st May.. my apology for being late to say my utter gratitude for those sweet wishes/prayers... I really do appreciate that..

.. and also, I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to one of my close friends today, 5th June.. May Allah bless your life, grant you happiness, make everything easy for you in this life and in the Hereafter... (",)

Final Year Project

Today, another Friday has just passed...and this is the second last Friday before the end of the school term.. I went to Wigan today, which is 1 hour journey by car to do the track test for my group electric go-kart Final Year Project. It was supposedly done last Wednesday but due to some technical problems, it has been postponed to a later date that happened to be today.

Last touch-up before leaving to the track

The weather was nice the time we started off from the Uni to the Three Sister track. Getting lost somewhere but finally found the way to the place, we arrived at the track at around 1.30pm, half an hour late from our booking schedule.

Steve was the first person driving the kart. It was such an excitement to me to see this small "baby" of ours finally moving smoothly around the track after so long... yeah, after about 9 months of just working on a stationary kart in the lab. What a joy that really made me so eager to drive it despite of my unconfidence to give it a try at first. (Scared... hehe)

Finally, our "baby" is on the track

Not to miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I took the challenge, getting the helmet from my groupmate and sat myself on the seat. Chris took picture of me on the kart before I started off.

Ready to go.

Press the pedal...

and... go!

Accelerating.. hehe

Wow...

.
.
.

I couldn't believe this...

that I was driving an electric go-kart! So smooth and fast....it was a reality..!

I just managed to make 1 lap drive because everyone in my group was also waiting to have a try. Then I gave another go after everyone has done with their turn at which I made another 2 laps... Haven't driven for a long time.. and really, it was such a great satisfaction to drive that kart and to be able to accelerate it until its maximum speed of about 38mph.. not that bad right? =)

It started to rain lightly at around 2.30pm but our excitement was much over that. Having another half an hour to go before the booking ended, we continued driving the kart one by one, taking pictures and videos for the demonstration purposes that scheduled to be next Thurdsay, 11th June. What a great group-day-out. Sorry rain, you were failed to stop us.

Our joy.. (",)

After taking some pictures with the go-kart as the whole group together with the supervisor, Dr Nigel Schofield, we then departed back to the Uni. At last... this awaiting has over.. and the thing I started to notice within myself is, I like to drive and race the go-kart! So smashing! ^^

Memory, 5th June 09

Ok peeps ... will be continued later.... inshaAllah..please pray for my success yea... (",)
