Home sweet Home

Heya!

Im home...im back in Liverpool. Thank Godness. Don't tagur my spelling of godness because i do mean Godness...not goodness. Hehehe. The train ride was bloody long...kusutku. THanks to aidah, jirah and umi for dangani-ing me to Euston station to carry my stuff. Thanx banget gitu lho, without u guys inda kali ku tebala bawa segala luggage and kotak2ku balik ke Liverpool.

The other thing is that.....IM SICK!! Fudge it to hell. This is the second time i've been sick in the 3 months i've been in the UK. And that is not good because i never get sick. Ask echam, i never get sick. My antibodies are quite strong you know. Ahaks. But yeah, i've been attacked by the flu and cough bug. Thanx cham, i think that was your parting gift to me. LoL. Im not blaming you tho, maybe it was time for me to get sick. Mwahaha.

As i am blogging, i am comfortably settled into Noor's comfy couch and begumpal in blankets and duvets watching Love Actually. Oh, its Christmas Eve by the way. How fast time passes by..Sighh.....baik jua ada Noor....kalau inda..i go crajie in halls kali. Wahaha. Thank God for SKY TV as well.

Exam is in 2 weeks, essay is still in progress...research for it hasn't even started yet but me thinks me can do it. As always....amiiinnn. DEar God, please help me out on this one. To tell you the truth i am really scared about the exam simply because its the first uni exam of my life and i do not know how to go about it. Sigh... Ah well...time will unfadge everything. I hope i'll do alright...amazing i hope. Amiin.

Im gonna rest for a few more days...do a bit of reading and research *insyaallah* and i am so looking forward to BOXING DAY SHOPPING and everything else under the foggy sun. Hehehe. I wanna see what i can get at a cheaper and more reduced retail price. YAY! I will keep u updated on how that'll turn out.

For now, i will get back to recuperating from my cold..blast it all. Bleegghh.. Hoping to lose my appetite? Yes but i don't think it'll happen anytime soon. Masa winter tah lagi...ALUUUMMM.

With a parting word...

"Love is actually all around"

Cold cold cold COLD

Heya people,

Greetings from London...Brunei Hall to be exact. I have been here for the past 2 days and its been alright. Just buntu kdg2 thinking of places to go in the cold. I know its London and everything but to me, its not all that its cracked up to be. I think if u have loads of $$ to burn, then you'll fit right in with the London social scene of clubbing, shopping, dining out and everything. I know its ...whats the word....very capi of me to over-generalize the situation in London because you can have a good time on a budget sini if you know the cheap and affordable places to go to.

But for me...its still way too expensive. I would love to live in a city as bustling as London, like you'll never get bored..there's always something to do. Kalau ku ada sugar daddy atau laki kaya atau aku a successful professional who earns like millions every week barutah kali tu. Wahahaha. Amiin.

We left Cardiff on Thursday afternoon and when we said our goodbyes to the girls, elush cried. Kesian. Mcm aku pun kan nangis tapi aku tahan. Because alum tantu when we'll be seeing each other next and she made us feel really2 welcomed in Cardiff. I loved the days i spent with her, i love her housemates, Jules and Emah...as crazy as they are..they are just lovely people. I think i even fell in love with Cardiff just a teeny tiny bit.

Anyways...eventho im in the heart of the Uk.....swinging LONDON...i can't help but feel restless. I can't wait to get back home to my bubble where everything is sort of familiar...can't wait to get back to Liverpool. Can't wait to get back on my feet and get some studying done. Exam in 2 weeks yo. I have an essay due masa reopening of school. The hellll.... booooo.

For now, its a happy christmas and a good night.

Ciao bellas,

Be happy with the one u're with...spread the love. Make it a merry KISS-mas. Mwwaaahhzzz

Welcome to Cardiff...Hawddamor tua Caerdydd

Assalamualaikum,

Greetings from Cardiff.
Hi!! Me and echam arrived in Cardiff on Saturday masa last week and met up with elush and her funny2 housemates, Emma and Jules. Right from the start i knew id like Cardiff. Its such a cool city. Bisai lah. So different from Liverpool. I mean Liverpool is great but alum sampai standard Cardiff prasanku.
So...when i got to Cardiff, elush bawa saya balik so i could drop off my stuff and rest for a while. At 3.45 pm we went back to town to pick up echam. Atu ya when we got to the train station, she came running out and gave us a huge hug!! It was like a mini reunion...so mcm siok lah.
Lapas atu kami ke Chicken Cottage coz echam lapar berabis..and when we got to chicken cottage, she ordered 2 sets of 4 BBQ lamb ribs, Chicken and fries...onion rings and minuman.. Yatah saya tebangang coz banyak..so i asked..."Are you ordering for everyone?" And she answered me with a straight face....."INDA". Hahahaha. Classic jawapannya atu...
After kami kenyang...we went back home to Elush's place. I like rumahnya...apart from it being cold..its very cozy and homey. Come to think of it, rumah diBrunei slalunya be-air conditioning jua...so i dunno y the cold is bothering me...but it does kadang2. Pfftt..what the hell..im on holiday. Hehehe.
On Sunday, the girls and I went to the city and we did the environmental thing and walked to the city through this pretty park. The only problem with the park is that there were a lot of dogs!! Bekeliaran...they weren't even on a leash. And it was so funny, everytime ada kuyuk, we all wud get into one line and walk to a side...hehe...ketara wah takut ahh. Then after we went to the city, since kelaparan, kami mengaga this place called 'BALI' its a mix of singaporean, indonesian and malaysian cuisine. I was in heaven coz lama udah inda makan makanan melayu bah. I had the nasi goreng and elush had the singapore noodles and echam had the sambal ayam with plain rice. NYaman!!! Udah atu kami kekanyangan mcm ular abis makan a whole buffalo. Hahaha. Nasib saja we walked..at least inda jus burut sangat.
We also went to Winter Wonderland yg opposite the Town Hall and the Museum.. The place wasn't that huge but there were a lot of people. Happening lah. There were merry-go-rounds, ferris wheel, skating rink and mcm2 lagi. Me, echam, lush, jules and emma went on the ferris wheel. We were excited kan naik ahh..like little school kids.
Bah...atu saja dulu...my creative juices has been used up and im hungry....Lushhh.....FOOODD!!!
Ciao Bellas,
Merry Christmas

Christmas Break!!

Assalamualikum people,

I have been missing in action for quite a few days now seeing that i am already in the holiday mood and uni is just BLEEEGGGHH now everytime i think abt it. This week has been pretty eventful and productive somewhat.

Well...for one thing, last week i passed up all my major assignments...three essays handed in on 3 consecutive days. Almost pengsan saya membuat...but alhamdulillah i got thru it. As soon as i handed the last coursework in, my mind went into hyper holiday/relaxation mood. Inda kira ahh. Hehe. And that weekend's BruManch talentime made it go into overdrive...i was that happy with handing in my work and not having to care about it anymore. Kudos to aidah for bringing us around and staying arah ka syidah punya place. Nda rugi ku ke manchester. Aidah fed me well..
So, this week is a very long weekend prasanku. I finished school masa on wednesday, but technically i finished on tuesday coz on wednesday atu tutorial ganya....abt 15 mins. Then me, sue, aimi, noor, sanny, razif, amal and dk went to watch 'The Holiday'. It is sooooo gooooddd.. I recommend anyone to watch it. Bring a friend...most likely of an opposite sex...its so siok. After the movie, me and sue slept over arah aimi and noor's house. AKu suka rumah drg coz they had the one thing aku rindu berabis....a TV and SKY. Hahaha. I was in heaven the whole night...inda lapas the remote from my hand. Hahaha. Sanny and Razif joined us and we slept so late.....around kul 5 pagi. Sanny tu....hyper....we were all hyper because of Noor's teh-tastic teh tarique. I like...
Tomoro morning i will be headed to Cardiff to go see my elush. I havent seen her in 2 months so its gna be great.And Echam's gna meet up with me there..Hehe. I was actually supposed to sleep over arah dk and amal's place tonight then bangun awal and head to the train station since inda jauh, but then tonight is pretty crappy coz its been raining and i dont want to have to go all the way to the city in the rain...esuk sama jua...baik saja dari sini. Kan kan kan? Kaaaaaannnnn...
So i will be on break for abt a week and a half. I will be in ardiff for abt a week and london for the weekend. Then back to sweet old Liverpool on the 24th of Dec. But i will be staying arah rumah noor sampai whenever...alum tau. Hehe. Then it'll be studying time for exams in january. Cursed exams....booo.
Anyways...thats the update for now. I will try my best to blog over the holidays...but don;t hold ur breath waiting for it. Okay? I promise some pictures and everything. Insyaallah.
Orait geng, assalamualaikum and have a good christamas break.
Ciao bellas.

People I Miss

Assalamualaikum all,
Felt a bit blue and all today since its such a gloomy day, so decided to put up some pics to nyamankan hatiku. Plus, i have loads of pictures i wanted to show, so might as well. HAhaha.
So here are the people i miss habis didunia. If i could just spend 10 mins with them pun alhamdulillah.
1. My younger sisters, Jim and Pis. They can be annoying tapi i would do anyything for them...within reason that is.

2. My cheeky cheeky cousins..tapi polite. Amin and Amir (the twins) and Nazmi (a.k.a. OWEN)

3. Mama and Bapa (goes w/o saying)

4. Si JIM. Aku suka adiku.

5. Kakaku..

6. My cool as woolies aunties, makayah and teenoi.

7. The rest of the angel's squad..especially ezah.
8. Everyone in this picture..termasuk org yg mengambarnya dan orang2 yg kepalanya terpotong dan those dudes with the tupi haji.

Bah, kalau i missed out anybody gtau saja..tapi right now, this looks about right. Cham, aku nda rindu kau coz ko malar telipun aku and aku jumpa ko masa Xmas break anyways...plus ko urg UK udah, nda jua ku payah ngunjar sangat. Wahaha.

Love one another

Peace in the world.

Ciao bella

Gail Force 9

Sssuuupppp...

Ever experienced winds so strong that it could literally pick you off the ground? Well my friends...i experienced such winds today. And it wasnt sekada "winds" ganya....it was GAIL FORCES to the power of 9 i tell you. And i so did not make that up. Haha..welll...thats a lie..i did. =P Tapi kan...aku mana exageratting coz the winds were really strong.

So, i woke up late today, but the day looked sunny except for the super strong winds..at 2 pm it looked pretty fine. And it looked like a good day to get out of the house and get food stuff. So, after i finished mandi and everything, i looked outside and it was turning dark and it wasnt even 3 yet. Somehow i knew it was gonna rain but i was hopeful that it wouldn't. So i kept asking God to delay the rain which he did until i reached the city. Thank God the rain wasnt as heavy but the winds were such a bitch and i was sensible enough not to bring an umbrella coz my the angin would've kicked my umbrella's ass by tturning it inside out.
Then, went to ICELAND, this super cheap store where u can get your groceries in bulk and at cheap prices. I went crazy in there. Bananas, apples, juice, keropoks, biskut..siok ahh. I was apretty happy shopper until i got to the checkpoint and memikirkan cana kan mengangkut. Baik jua saya ada bawa beg sikut. Atu pun, not everyting muat. Carrying it over my shoulders with 2 more plastic bags in my hands and up a hill to get to my place wasnt an easy task my friends. TORTURE habis.
And all the while im thinking...okay im gna have really nice muscles...HAHAHA...baru ya..optimistic banar. Tapi udah ku balik...banar ih...ada definition. Cham and lush...nanti ku nunjukkan ahh. =P Hahahaha. Then, when i got home, had to climb 4 flights of stairs and open 3 doors before getting to my room. After that i was so tired and hungry..i ate 2 bananas, 2 kropoks and a bottle of water. Mcm belumba marathon...masa ribut taufan. And i think some small pebble hit me in the cheek coz mcm merah cheekku..tapi nda sakit. Bloody GAiL Forces 9.
Anyways, aku kan goreng popia dulu...lama udah ku mengidam popia. Popia frozen pun jadilahhh....asal ada.. Alhamdulillah.
I will probably blog again seeing how bored i am today..so keep-a-reading.
Gail Force 9...over and out!

Reality calling..

Mi Familia (minus kaka zee, ampun ka!)

Assalamualikum everyone,

Today was another lazt day for me, again i set the alarm clock for 9/10 am and somehow my subconcious is really really stubborn. Inda ya mau bangun....its made up its mind to just wake up at 1 pm anyway.

Well...to defend my subconcious...and me also..dimalam payah tdor coz bunyi diluar window atu mcm ribut taufan. It was raining cats and dogs and the wind was howling like mad...so that disrupted my sleep lah. So aku ahir bangun is JUSTIFIED by that. And i prasanku today i woke up early than previous2 days coz i was woken up by mama's phonecall.

She always catches me offguard that woman, like masa ku tangah nyaman2 tidur where im all buruk and suara nda mau keluar. So, as usual, when u've just woken up and kan answer the phone, u test out ur "answering phone" voice. Usually goes.."Hello...hello..HELLO...eh helllo" and i tied that tadi. Let the phone ring for a few seconds, then i answered all chirpy and perky like. SEkali......twang twang twang....she didnt buy it. Mama somehow knew i was faking it. Sheesshh..payah2 saja ku praktis suara telfonku. Mwhahaha.

It was good talking to mom, when i hung up sedihku coz i miss her so much. She can be funny at times and can be annoying when she doesnt listen to what u're trying to say padahal u're in front of her udah..but I LOVE MY MOM. haha. Iatah that quirky and zany personality of hers yg saya rndu habis2. When she called, it brightened up my day and somehow reminds me what im here for..what im meant to do. So reality came-a-calling and i really liked it.

Ciao bellas,

Catch up with u later...

Can this weekend be anymore boring?? Seriously..

Assalamualaikum semua,

A big shout out to my sister, kaka ziah, for being a faithful follower of this blog. Thanx ka. Hehehe. Im working on getting a tagboard on here, it will take a while, ko tau how computer illiterate i can be. Wahaha.

Well..about this weekend. I can sum it up in one word...one word!! BORING!! Seriously. Kan menangis saja ku inda memikirkan ahh. I mean, compared to last weekend's activities such as Liverpool Games and the raya closing open house at DK's and Amal's..this weekend is proving to be very bland indeed. The only thing to look forward to is finishing my effin assignments...atupun ick.
My weekend started on thursday night essentially coz my i dont have class on Fridays. So, instead of studying and getting a start on those assignments...what did i do? I went ahead with my Grey's Anatomy marathon. Its addictive!! And im starting to use words like "SERIOUSLY" all the time now. Curse u GA. Haha. And i think im a nocturnal creature, i dont do well in daytime but i flourish at night! I sleep kdg2 at 2 am, even 4 am during weekends. Cubatah class ani malam2, baru ya. Gets my brain working tu. Hahahaha.
So, on Friday, woke up late, went online and chatted with wei and jim and a couple more people. Showered, prayed and waited for sue to come so she could borrow my luggage. I was happily chatting away online when i heard a booming knock on my door...sekalinya siapanah? c Sue!! Haha. For such a tiny girl, she knocks like a freakin' giant. LOL.
Since we were both bored and had no idea what to eat for dinner, we decided to go out. Kami plan kan bawa urg lain, but since drg ada plan masing, it was just the two of us. We headed to the new KIMOs and sat there talking and eating. We went out at 6 and i went home around 9. Siok jua udah tu. Siok coz i was getting out of the house and had someone to talk to. And no...i am not pathetic...im just bummed these days okay.
Anyways, that was the highlight to my weekend. Theres still Sunday to look forward to, but....apa ada? I have no plans. Unless you call finishing up 2 essays a plan...bukan plan tu...thats torture with a capital T. The highlight of today was my sister calling me, thanx for calling ka! Love u to the very2. Gila...sukaku mendangar suaranya ahh and i didnt mind being put over loudspeaker...hahaha..biar suaruku bergema di Brisbane. Mwahahaha.
This was meant to be a short post, but its MEEZ you're talking abt, i NEVER write short posts. Boooo.
Oh guys......i need ur help. Please pray that i'll finish these bloody assignments in time. Amiiiinnn.
Will catchup with u people later, yes?
Love u to the highest mountains.
