2 more weeks to go...

Another week has past. The new stupid locker combination-lock got stuck. Spent another 40 minutes to be able to open that one. Changed it to key-lock at last. Better not stuck this time. Won't be able to try all keys to open it like what we did to the combination lock when we tried all number combinations from 0-0-0 to any combination that can undo the lock. Confusing? Forget it.
Went to Jitsu's pre-grading yesterday. Was kinda scary. Got thrown by a guy and nearly broke my rib. Lucky I'm still in one piece today (so Mummy & Syg, don't worry kay. If the pain worsen, I'll call u guys straight away). However, my whole body's aching. Can't move around easily. Managed to cut the grass in the backyard though, with Aida's help. hehe. Quite a big achievement since we've been putting it aside for weeksssss. Never realised we have quite a spacious backyard. =p
Owh, Shepard's Bush residence has finally made it to Manor House yesterday. After a quick lunch, Azz watched Greg's Anatomy while DRog, Yat and Lion played the dance mat. Dina coached them like a real instructor. Hey, u guys were really good, fast-learners. :) It's really addictive, right. hehe. I think DRog can't get enough of it. I fell asleep in Mimi's room for awhile and when I woke up, they were still playing... or I should say dancing.
Cold day is making me hungry ALL the time. Help me! I can't stop eating. Need to stop typing and find more food~

3rd Syawal Weekend

Time flies, huh. It is already the 3rd weekend in Syawal. Whoever haven't started their 6 days Syawal fast better hurry. You still have time. Yesterday, Dina, Aida and I went to Aimi & Ufah's open house. Oh my. They cooked a LOT. Nasi lemak, Laksa asam, Laksa Kelantan, Roti jala, Lompat tikam, triffle... Lucky we didn't eat breakfast before that. Obviously we ate so much until we felt like bursting. hehe. But thanx guys. The food was really delicious.
We left quite early coz Dina wanted to go to Primark. Initially, I didn't plan to buy anything in particular, just wanted to look around. However, I came back with a bag full of clothes and other stuff. I actually passed a bundle of socks that me & Aida were sharing to her to "reduce" my total expenditure in one receipt. =p Crazy. It makes no difference. I know. Haha.
On Sunday, the whole house except Mimi, who was tired from her travelling to Sheffield the day b4, woke up early and did some house chores. I was trying to cut the grass in our backyard when I heard Dina fell down the stairs. I thought it wasn't that serious. Turned out she can't feel her legs. There was an emergency state in our house for awhile but luckily she got better.
Mimi & I later went to another jitsu weekend training for novices at ULU Gym. Lucky us this time we didn't come back with bruises. We went for a drink after that. This time juices, not coke. Looks like going to be a trend. Hmmph. Ah well. Weekend's over. Another week to go.

Went to pub for the 1st time

Yesterday, for the 1st time I went to Jistu alone. Mimi was busy working on her essay so she decided to skip jitsu for that night. But I surely need LOTS of practice if I am really going for the grading this December so I went anyway. Technically, I was not alone. I managed to persuade Andrew to come along (but he was kinda mean during training. heh. just kidding)
After the training session, as usual, our sensei invited us for a drink in a nearby pub. Usually, I'd be reluctant to go. Being in a pub would make me feel really uncomfortable. I dunno what's with me that night but I decided to give it a shot. So I went along. Of course, I dragged Andrew along. Going alone would be especially scary for me, a 1st timer going to a pub. We didn't stay that long, only about half an hour maybe so on the way home, I didn't tell my housemates that I was going to be late. I thought they wouldn't worry about me coz I didn't get any phone call or text from them yet. However, when I was walking back home alone, I called Aida coz the place was really quiet. Only then I got to know how worried my housemates were. When I got home, I got a looong speech on how important it is to tell them before hand if I'm going to be late. Hehe. I was a little bit surprised to receive such a long warning BUT I AM REALLY TOUCHED to know that they do care for me. Wonderful housemates I have, huh ;)

Open house

hello peeps. Thanx to u guys who came for our open house last Sunday. For those who couldn't make it, it's alright. We understand (whatever the reason was. heh =p) Those who came really made it a success. (Thank them) At first, I was kinda worried that ppl won't be able to come at all and our home-cooked food would have to go to waste. Then, around 1.30pm, my ex-flatmate arrived. After that, ppl started to show up batch-by-batch. Whew! These are some of the pictures. Sorry if your face aren't in any of them. I picked them up randomly. But u know who u r =D


The 1st 3 ppl to arrive

Food: Aida cooked laksa lemak (family recipe), Dina made the Kuah Kacang, I fried the Kuey teow and Mimi did the dessert (cake & triffle), all from scratch. Well, I was actually monitored while doing the cooking so no worries. I'm sure no one had stomach ache from eating the Kuey teow, hmm I guess it was alright. We also gave a short tour around the house to our guests. Sha actually went to each and every room to take pictures with "special things" in there with her partner in crime, Natte. That's a picture in my room, with my Disney snowglobes and a potret of me & Hazmi.

Natte, Yas, Sha, Mikel, Mad and Apu stayed longer. We had LOTS of fun "exercising". hehe. Watching the guys being sporting and tried out was even more exciting. Haha. I really appreciate your presence ppl. Do come again eh.

Selamat Bertunang Kak Ina

Today's a historical day in Hazmi's family. Kak Ina's officially engaged. My mum and brother were lucky to get the chance to be there but I'm so far away over here. Wish I could be there too. My man wore a complete gold baju melayu with samping and songkok. At 1st, I was kinda wondering how gold would suit him. Then, I tortured abg to send Hazmi's pictures to me. Wow. Nice honey =D Look great on you. Bleh laa kite kawin nanti pakai gold??? hehe. Love u, angel. Muahs!
