Makan-makan

Semalam kami buat makan-makan nak habiskan stok makanan..Menunya; nasi putih, sup ayam, sambal, kari ayam, udang & ikan masak merah..+ dessert yang Jehan bawak lagi..fuhh..sangatla meriah..

Jemput Jehan & Kak Ina sekali..seronokk..Thanks to Jehan & Kak Ina sebab sudi menerima jemputan kami, walaupun terpaksa bawak pinggan sendiri..bak kata Jehan, lawakk ok...jemput orang makan tapi takde pinggan..Haha..kami hanya merantau di sini..hehe..sorry!

However, we had a great time last night..makan sampai kekenyangan tahap maksimum..tapi sebab excited sangat nak makan-makan sambil gosip yang takde full stop, lupa pulak nak ambik gambar..hmm..rugi sangat rasanya...(nak kena mintak gambar tu dengan Jehan la..boleh?)..

p/s: I shall not be updating my blog for sometime..I am going to london and then return home..

will be back in a week time..check out for more stories!!!

Happy Mood

Hepinye rasa hari ini...berbunga-bunga rasa hati..rasa nak senyum je sepanjang hari..The pictures sure have lighten up my day. That is the first thing that make me happy..

The second thing is the fact that this training is coming to an end and I'm going back home in a week time!!! Waahh..seronoknye..

Throughout this one-month training, I have learned a lot..explicit knowledge..tacit knowledge.. There are many times I came to a point where the training became more and more complicated, the pressure were overwhelming and the burdens inside my head were unbearable..but now..that sort of things had gone, for good..now I am happy..very happy indeed..

just can't wait to be home..

My precious..

I opened my email this morning and got one interesting email fom my husband, which contains pictures of my dearest son..I am tremesdously happy..Amazing isn'it? Receiving pictures of someone you love can give such an effect in your life..

..and here are the pictures that have made up my day..that will keep me smiling for the rest of the week..

Ashmal posing dengan kaca mata hitamnya..dia memang suka sangat dengan kaca mata hitam tu..

This picture was taken when he just woke up from his sleep..bangun-bangun je nak tengok Thomas & Friends, his favourite character. So dalam mamai-mamai tu nak tengok tv memang la tak larat..

Kat sebelah kanan ni pulak gambar Ashmal dengan sepupu dia, Marsya. Ni time ok la ni..sebab Ashmal suka usik Marsya..sebab rambut Marsya ni memang la comel, pegi mana-mana mesti orang tegur..comel!

Ashmal has just turned to two years old last month, and Marsya is going to be 4 years old this November. I still remember when I just gave birth to Ashmal, she was just about 1 year and a half, still a baby herself..everytime Ashmal cried, she would come running..with a diaper and a bottle in her hands, thinking that might sooth Ashmal's cries.. macam kelakar,kan? Dia pun kecik lagi, tapi dah pandai nak jaga orang lain.. Sekarang ni dua-dua tu nampak macam kembar lak..with their heights almost equal to each other..

Dear hubby, thanks a lot for the email..it means a great deal to me!!!

Bicester Village

Last Saturday we went to Oxford..travelling by bus. A tip if you're travelling in UK, make an early plan, get an early ticket..you'll be surprised on how much you can save.. We bought online tickets for our trip to Oxford (with Ms.J's help..tq!), it costs only GBP6 for each return ticket. Or else a one-way ticket costs about GBP10..see..how much we can save...

Ok..back to the original story....It took approximately 3 hours to get there and on the way there we 'dropped by' one of the famous shopping spot in UK..the Bicester Village. This place is more or less the same with the factory outlet in Ashford where you can find almost all the branded items, just name it..

However, we managed to control ourselves this time..we didn't do so much shopping here..indeed, I didn't buy anthing from here..opss..except for two pairs of clark sandals, each for my son & my niece..hehe..

Not only Polo Ralph Lauren, but Polo Ralph Lauren Children can also be found here..Pn.Sue's gonna love this, if she was here then.. the price is very cheap for a Ralph Lauren's shirt..around GBP4.99 - GBP10..On the right picture, there's Hugo Boss boutique..

The middle picture shows Tommy boutique, the left picture shows Dior & Timberland boutique. I'm so sorry for the moderate quality of the image..I do not own a DSLR camera..kesian saya,kan Josh..?

After a few hours spent at this place, we continued our journey to Oxford..unfortunately I can't show any picture of Oxford here since I don't have the photo. I unpurposely left my camera in Suw's room that day..sedihnye..

p/s: perhaps Pn.A would like to share the pictures in her blog..someday?

Tersasul..

Cerita 1:

Pagi pertama berada di Cambridge, saya dikejutkan oleh suara-suara orang sedang sibuk mengangkut sampah kat bawah bilik..dalam keadaan mamai tu saya terpikir.."Alangkah bagusnya orang kat sini, kerja angkut sampah pun pandai cakap orang putih,,"...hehe...masa tu tak ingat memang saya ada kat negeri orang putih..hehe..

Cerita 2:
One day, when I was walking down a street..a man bumped into me..he looked at me and apologized. Spontanously I said, "takpe..takpe.."..I didn't realize that I've spoken the malay word out loud until I saw the man's face..opps..tersasul lerr.. sorry!

Cerita 3:

This is not my story..it's Pn.A's story instead. This happened when we were looking for J.A. in the Genetics Department. Since we failed to find him, we asked a student about his wherebout..and she said, "Oh, you're looking for J.A., is it?". Spontanously Pn.A answered, "a'ah.."..hehe..tersasull lagi..

Satu kisah di Fitzwilliam Museum

Semalam saya & Pn. A pergi ke Mill Road untuk mencari bahan2 makanan yg halal..kat situ banyak kedai2 yang membekalkan makanan yg halal untuk orang2 muslim kat Cambridge ni. Siap ada jual kicap cap kipas udang lagi tau..perencah-perencah adabi pn ada..

Dalam perjalanan balik, kami ternampak la bangunan yang cantikk ni...the Fitzwilliam Museum. Memang dh jd kerja kami sejak datang ke sini, nampak je bangunan atau pemandangan cantik mesti nak ambik gambar. Kat bawah ni gambar2 Fitzwilliam Museum yang sempat saya rakamkan..

Sedang kami sibuk berposing2 tu..tiba-tiba ada dua jejaka ni menyapa.."Hai..datang melancong ke?"..alamak..orang Malaysia la..malunye...sebab masa tu memang tengah posing sakan..tapi dah orang tegur, kami pun menjawab le, "a'ah..". Then abang tu cakap, "oo..dah agak dah..dari jauh kami nampak dok posing2...". aloooha, malunye... borak2 lagi rupanya abang2 ni kawan kak lin..lagi la bertambah2 malunye...kantoi..!!

Punting Day

I really hate this awful feeling..so I went through all the pictures I had in these few days..to look for something that can switch off this 'unhappy' mode.. These pictures of the day when we went out to punt attract my attention and I thought it'd be good to share them in my blog..

So..the story is... Last Saturday, right after we had lunch in front of the King's College, we went to punt..cost GBP8 per person, but the experience we had is worth it..

Along the riverside, there're many eye-catching sceneries..beautiful gardens and old buildings. They're just amazing..don't know how to describe it..Anyway, here are some pictures I'd like to share.

Pn. A and I were sitting in the boat (sambil kontrol ayu..hehe..)

In the picture above (on the right), there're Pn.Sue, Cik Suw & Ms.J, sitting in front of us in the boat.

This is the punter who brought us around in the boat that day. He uttered so many information about the things we saw along the riverside..the history of each college we passed, the story of each building..but I can only hear some pieces of his story as I were too busy snapping pictures, and so did the other fours girls..kesian org tu, penat je dia cakap2..Anyway, the punter did a good job, he brought us back safe and sound..

p/s: entry ni bukanlah satu usaha untuk buat Ain-ain dan Josh jeles ye..

Feeling blues..

I don't know what I'm feeling at the moment..I'm lonely, upset, demotivated..most of all, I'm missing amal & Ashmal like crazy!! I spent some time listening to the song in my blog, the song by Josh Groban, you are loved.. somehow the song has lifted up my spirit, well a little bit.. but it'll do for now..

A few days ago, I was given this task to be completed within less than 8 days time..need to analyze a set of data to find the transcription factor..and at the end of the training, I'm expected to write my own program to analyze it..wow, sounds interesting, but can I finish it on time..? Plus, the trainer will be around the globe for this two weeks and I can only communicate with him via email..

I'm left alone to sort it out.. I doubt myself..thinking of it is depressing enough..However, I'll do whatever I can..nothing is impossible, right?

Ya Allah..give me strength..

King's College

We went to the famous King's College yesterday..I've placed a picture or two (don't really remember) of this college in my previous entry. Its buildings aged more than 400 years..and its architectures are magnificent! I can't stop myself wondering what kind of technology used in that age to build such a beautiful structure..very detail and perfect, I'm impress!

Some glimpses of the king's chapel. Some facts about the chapel, which quoted from the brochure I got at the college's entrance.."The chapel is 88 metres long, 12 metres in span between piers and the vault is 24 metres high. The fan vaulting, the undoubted glory of the building, was completed in three years between 1512 and 1515. After this the glaziers could get on with the task of installing the 26 sets of stained glass windows, which took around another 30 years."

The other side of the college, there's a stream where people use to punt.

Indah sungguh pemandangan ni...tp cuaca hari ni kurang baik, sejuknya tak macam summer..sampai terpaksa pakai glove sebab sejuk sampai ke tulang...eeeeeeee....

Selepas penat menikmati pemandangan yang cantik kat King's College, kami singgah kat satu kedai makan yang halal, located right in front of the college. Walaupun kepenatan dan kelaparan, tapi masih lagi nk posing depan kamera..hehe..

Pose masa tengah tunggu makanan yang di order. .and below are what we had for lunch that day. The tastes were not as good as they looked..tapi boleh le untuk mengalas perut..

Our special lunch hour

This is Jehan, my ex-student who is now pursuing her M.Phil at University of Cambridge. Today she brought us to have lunch at this spectacular place, Pembroke College which is located only 5 minutes walk from our departments. However, it took us about half an hour to reach it.. nak tahu kenapa..? We're kind of stuck at so many photography sessions around the park on the way to Pembroke College.

Tengok saja la aksi-aksi model amatur kat bawah ni..

Ni baru on the way je..and now, here is the spectacular college..

Cantikknye tempat ni..never seen it anywhere else, not even in my dreams..

A special entry for Pn.Sue

Upon Pn. Sue's personal request, I dedicate this entry just for her..nothing much to tell, perhaps the pictures below would do the talking.

Ni gambar masa on the way balik dari lab tadi..pantang dia nampak bangunan yg cantik sikit, mesti nak bergambar,hehe..Guess where is this place? You won't believe it..!

Pn. Sue's exausted face after spending the whole day shopping in Asford..barang dia bertimbun2, macam nak balik bukak gerai kat pasar malam..

Tengah meng'adjust' kedudukan untuk posing di celah2 bunga, mcm dlm cite hindustan tu..

Sedang memeriksa kameranye yg canggih..kamera DSLR lagi tau!

Bergambar dengan Tiger Wood..siap pegang2 tangan lagi..jgn jeles ye Mr.S..

..and this is what she does most of the time..Pn. Sue and her handphone, bagai isi dgn kuku.. nk ambik gmbr pn sempat lagi gayut..

I'm upset..

I am a little bit upset today..to see such a sight to start my day. This morning, when I looked out the window..I saw this sight which has touched my heart deeply inside, making me feel helpless..and this is the sight I saw this morning..

Some homeless people were sleeping just under my hostel room..what a pitty!! I can't image how cold they were as I was freezing in my comfortable bed last night..It's getting cold lately as it has been raining on and off for the pass few days..

Dear Allah, we're helpless..we're begging for Your protection, for none of this happen to us nor to anyone we love..Amin.

Cuba teka apa diaorang buat?

Baru teringat nak cerita..this happens when we were about a few metres away from the huge complex of factory outlets in ashford..check out what were these ladies doing..hmm..

Pn. A's acting like she's planting the flower and Pn. Sue's acting like she's a professional photographer on the move..haha..

Can't wait to be home..

Despite all the great activities we've done and all the good times we had here in the pass two weeks, all of us are still counting the day to return home.. All of us missing home like we've been here for ages..we really want to go home..!!!

The study culture here is great, but we can't really fit into the culture. Why..? Hard to tell..but perhaps I'll narrate about it later..

The second plan

The second plan is to visit the london eye and Madamme Tussauds..masing2 bersemangat, bangun pagi2 nk pegi visit. It's barely 9 am when we arrived at London Eye..it's a good thing though, coz we don't have to join a long queue!

Here I am..giving my best post, hehe..behind me is the trademark of london, the big ben and the house of parliment. Cantikk kan...(I mean the background, ok..)..kan...and I think I should upload this image too..Gambar Pn. A and Pn.Sue posing berlatarbelakangkan kota london, chewaaahh...

Walaupn gayat, berjaya jgk saya naik london eye..hehe..bangga..bangga..

Then we headed to the famous Madame Tussauds..Had agreat time there, even though in the beginning, we couldn't really enjoy ourselves because there's too many people in the there. We can hardly spot the wax figures in the sea of people..anyway, it's worth it..we got to take pictures with world's famous figures..(Josh jgn jeles..heheh..), siap bergambar dgn Shah Rukh Khan dan Aiswarya lagi..

Bergambar dgn Queen Elizabeth...looks so real, isn't it?
