Hazmi's arrival

A few days before Hazmi arrived, i was really2 restless. Kept doing the countdown... counting the days-to-go and started to count the hours when there was "only" 46 hours left. That Monday night, i can't seem to do any work at all. Gave him a wake up call. Then waited for awhile, allowing him to take a decent shower before calling again and read him MY checklist =p Then, my playlist played a song that i think suit my mood very well, at least the 1st 2 lines. [Enrique Iglesias - Be with you. "Monday night and i feel so low. I count the hours and they go so slow".] Anyway, after that i went to sleep only to wake up EVERY hour until he safely boarded the plane.
The next morning, Mimi called me nearly 10 times and i didn't even realise the phone rang. We were supposed to go to Tesco with Aida to buy some "ration". I was kinda shocked myself coz i always wake up whenever my room phone rang. Too tired, i guess. So i hurried up and didn't bother to take a shower =p. Bought some food; biscuits, quiche, etc. Had brunch with Mimi after that. Ate very2 little compared to usual.
That afternoon, Mimi accompanied me to the airport. (THANX SO SO MUCH) Only she can describe my condition & feelings that time. Of course, i was excited, very excited that i was scared, maybe for not seeing him for quite sometime (duhhh!!! 3 months only. cam tak biase plaks) or maybe i was afraid that the imigration wouldn't let him into London (happened to a Malaysian family just a few weeks back). Whatever it is, i was really2 nervous. Mimi wanted to tease me using the saying "Makan tak kenyang, Mandi tak basah, Tidur tak lena" only to realise that ALL of them are TRUE. hahaha. =p
Now, that he has safely arrived, i am glad to say, i am VERY VERY happy. He flew all the way from Malaysia to see me =D Feeling restless himself, he couldn't sleep in the plane. Even ended up standing for like 1/3 of the journey. I am also glad to realise, after more than 2 years of being together, i still have the butterflies-in-the-stomach to meet him. The spark is still there. Or again, Mimi said "i can even see fireworks". hehe.

Not so mature yet, huh...

Today, Mimi & i went to Disney Shop in Oxford Street. The initail plan was just to buy Disney Paris tickets. However, i managed to waste 3GBP on a keychain. Since i need it, i guess that's fine. Then, Mimi wanted to check out the 1st floor. Hehe. We found this glass ball thingy for half the price we saw downstairs, 5GBP from 10GBP. Being the childish me, i really want that thing. They remind me of my Disney's play pocket collection. Brings back memories of my toys. haha. At first, Mimi recommended Snow White. The carriage is nice but i want Sleeping Beauty too bcoz she has found her prince. (I've found mine too. hehe.) Unable to decide on one, i bought both. There u go. So much for saving money...

After that, i followed Mimi to the library again. The 2nd time after that last entry. Was already sleepy that time but was thinking should use my time wisely. So i followed her. Did some reading on accounts, didn't understand a thing. Tried to do MA100. Can't concentrate. Was really2 sleepy. I blame the whether. Was kinda gloomy and cool. Take a walk, read some article from a book i found at the rack. Return to my seat. Still sleepy *sigh* So at last, i decided to go back and have a good 3 hours sleep =p

I WeNt To tH3 L!bRarY tOdAy

Haha. What an achievement. Followed mimi to library from 11.30am till nearly 6.30pm. Nerd mode turned on. [This is considered a big achievement since i've never stayed in a library for more than an hour if i was not obliged to do so.]

Syg sgt comel!

{u don't want to be reading this. seriously. heh}
Hey, all. This is not an entry to actually tell any1 anything. hehe. Just fell like writing this down. Exactly this time next week, Mimi, Aida, Hazmi and I will be going to Paris. Can't wait for the moment to arrive. But the faster the time comes, the faster it's gone :( . Hazmi just finished his last paper today, this morning in Malaysia actually. The last one out of 5 papers. (Proudly i gave him wake up call for all the papers ;) ) I need to wake up early today so i asked him to gimme a wake up call at 3pm Malaysian time. But at approximately 1.30pm, i call him to say that he need rest and should just go to sleep. I'll try to wake up on my own. (Felt guilty that he had to sacrifice his sleeping time after all the hard work and had to top up his credit to just wake me up for not so important reason. Not like i'm having a paper or something.) When i called him though, he sounded like he's in a rush. He said that he need to take a shower immediately and would call me back. I didn't even get a chance to tell him the reason i called. But i waited anyway. Not more than a minute, the phone rang. He called. I was like "hmm, cepatnye mandi???" Then he said, when i called, he was sleeping. So when he heard the phone rang & it was from me, he taught he was late for a 3 o'clock exam (when he actually has to call me) Hehe. Sgt2 CoMeL laa budak nih. That's among the reasonS y i love him SoOoOo much. He's going to scold me if he knew i post this on my blog =p
p/s: he did gimme my wake up call; 1 at 8.30am (he's not late. i postponed the time) and another one 15 minutes later (coz i was still sleepy) Owh, the 1st wake up call, he greeted me with "Morning, sleepyhead" {grr}

Azzahraa's birthday and Kitty's update

11th April 2005: Azzahraa Annuar celebrates her 21st birthday. Celebrated the whole day with lots of activities including having lunch with some Londoners at Kensington Park. Holboners (Me, Mimi, Dina, Aida & Mikel) met Natte & Yas and obviously the birthday girl Azz, her beloved bf Amir & her best buddy D Rog at South Kensington tube station at around 1.30pm. Food includes pizza from Pizza Hut, chicken pieces from Chicken Cottage, Muller's Strawberry yogurt, some chocolates and snacks. The group settled down at a "strategic" spot where there was a couple romancing under the sun near our picnic area. haha. But other than that, the weather was really nice. The sun was shining brightly that time compared to the gloomy yesterday. Birthday gurl's luck, huh ;) Birthday gurl and bf went shopping after that.
p/s: While there were so many entries about her birthday, in my opinion, d rog did a very nice one. Check hers out.


Hey, latest update on Sang Kucing, Kitty. Since she safely gave birth to her kittens, i requested the little kittens picture from my bro. He tried to take a good shot of the kittens so took them out to the living room and placed them carefully on the sofa. Being the protective mum, Kitty took back all her kittens back to their hiding place. (eyyy, kureng tau Kitty nih)
Anyway, today is a historical day. Kitty took out her kittens one by one to show them to my mum. Maybe the time is right. The kittens are now a little bigger so it is safe to move around. (i guess) She 'handed' the kitten to mummy and let mummy plays, kisses and hugs or actually squeezes it for awhile b4 taking it in again and came out with another one. But after sending the 2nd one in, Kitty (wanted to take the last kitten), had taken the same one out. (That's what mummy said.) Haha. It's either she still doesn't recognise her kittens or mummy's got them mixed up.

Spain...Spain...Spain...

Hola, everyone! I'm back in London, from Spain. The trip was really great. Congrats & many thanx to Arfa & Lion for organising it & managing the whole big group. Good job! ;)

Group members:
13 ppl = 10 girls + 3 guys: Arfah, Lion, Farah(me), Mimi, Azrin, Izi, Nadia, Misa, Aimi, Acad, Zaki, Shaza & Azmir


p/s: ade sorg mat saleh sesat dlm gambar

Itinery:
3rd April: Flight to Barcelona. Check in New York Hostel
4th April: Train to Tarragona. Check in Hotel Urbis. Port Aventura
5th April: Port Aventura. Walk around Tarragona
6th April: Train to Barcelona. Check in SeaPort Hostel. Walk around.
7th April: Flight back to London Stansted.

Barcelona:
I expected it to be more modern and look much better. After all, Lion says, Spain is one of the 1st world countries. To me, KL is wwwaaayyyy better. Or maybe bcoz we weren't in Madrid, Spain's capital, right? Actually Barcelona is divided to 2 different areas; the upper class and the working class areas. So if u know where to find them, there are a lot of beautiful buildings.


Having dinner in the middle of Barcelona


Sagrada Familia (Sacred Family) and more of Gaudi's artwork

Tarragona:
Has its own attractions but i don't remember going to any expect for one, ~Port Aventura~

Port Aventura:
The main reason I followed this trip is the Universal Studios Theme Park. This is where all of us had a GREAT time.



Spanish:
Haha. France is not the only country where most people don’t speak English. 5 days there, we had to use the basic Spanish words to communicate with them. At first, I was quite reluctant & shy to use Hola and Gracias, but after awhile I adapted with the situation. We shouldn't be rude right??? ;) Uno, dous, tres, lavabos, sortidad etc etc. Mimi had a memorable experience when she successfully use the phrase "este es para los vegetarianos..." Hehe.

Seafood:
It would be a waste if we didn't try the seafood here since we were already there, at the seaside. Although we find it a little bit expensive for a real filling meal (as everyone was on tight budget), the price was not so bad (our selections ranging from 4 to 20+ euros)

Spain Trip

Hey guys! I'll be out of town from 3rd to 7th April. So blog will not be updated in that period. However, feel free to leave your comments as usual ;)

Siti Nurhaliza's Concert

Siti's Concert

Happy 10-year-Anniversary to Siti Nurhaliza (as an artist). Salute to her for celebrating it at the Royal Albert Hall, London, 2nd Malaysian to perform there after Sudirman Hj. Arshad. Congratulations for the great performance...

The performance was suppose to start at 7pm. Aqilah, Kak Emma, Mimi and I, were running all the way from Knightsbridge tube station coz we were "SoOo" punctual (exactly 10 minutes from the tube station) =P Hihi. Luckily, since Siti is a Malaysian artist, so is her audience, there is still a lot of ppl entering that time (Malaysian time, huh?) We managed to get in b4 the show started. Our seats were at the upper circle, and at the last top row. *sigh* However, as the hall was quite empty (60 to 70% full, i think), we moved further to the centre to get a better view. VIP includes the Royal Highness Sultan & Sultanah Pahang (jauh dtg support tuh), Datin Seri Rosmah (Dato' Seri Najib's wife) and Siti's parents (aww, so sweet...)

Siti sang a number of songs (i don't bother to count how many) but i remember she did sing one English song 'Get here if u can'. As expected, she had no problem singing well :) (I'm not a fan. That's good enough for a comment) Her english was okay when she did the introduction, closing speech and when she sang the song. Other than that, Siti conducted the show in BM (not so much of a problem, i guess, as more than 90% of guests were Malaysians). But as usual, i like ALL her dresses, decent and beautiful. They were sponsored by R(something2) Radzwil (don't remember the name). Her shoes were sponsored by Jimmy Choo (wow!). She wore a sparkling necklace sponsored by Habib Jewels.

Her dancers were from Warisan Kebudayaan Negeri Johor. The dancing was fantastic and very cultural. Mimi was excited to see The London Symphony Orchestra accompanied Siti's performance at the 2nd half. Siti is the 1st Asian artist they played for. Impressive huh? When she sang the closing song, she actually cried the tear of joy. Who wouldn't for such a great achievement. I was actually impressed by her career path. From village girl in Kuala Lipis, Pahang, to top singer, performing in Kuala Lumpur, to Royal Albert Hall, London. (Respect gak ah) Wishing her luck in her future life. Hopefully she stays the way she is. Decent, polite and humble. Show ended around 11pm.

Zodiac Compatibility

What a weird day... 2 people ask me today about Zodiac Compatibility. Hehe. Yes, i used to do some research about this horoscope thingy quite some time ago. I found that although u shouldn't trust it 100%, it actually helps analyses a person's character. Hence, how to handle a relationship. Honestly, i did use this analysis to help build up my own relationship. I would say that it has given a positive influence. The problem is, i don't remember much about the details and other sign's compatibility with others. For your own excitement, check out the link to see the compability of u & your current or prospective partner. Generally, this is the compatibility table:

• ARIES: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius
• TAURUS: Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Pisces
• GEMINI: Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo
• CANCER: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo
• LEO: Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra
• VIRGO: Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio
• LIBRA: Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius
• SCORPIO: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, Capricorn
• SAGITTARIUS: Leo, Aries, Libra, Aquarius
• CAPRICORN: Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio, Pisces
• AQUARIUS: Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries
• PISCES: Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Taurus

Don't worry if your partner's zodiac is not listed as compatible with your own. Coz it actually depends on the 2 person to work out their relationship. Have fun!

p/s: Thanx to Mimi for the site. For more info about your sign, check out the link @ Zodiac Personality & Info.
