Back in London

Sigh. 4 months has passed in 'a blink of an eye'. I'm back in London, back to school. For this new academic year, of course my resolution is to study hard, even harder than last year, I hope. This would be my final year here so have to really make my stay here worthwhile. Hazmi has been doing pretty well too in Malaysia. Attending lectures & tutorials, doing coursework & presentations, worrying about carrying marks, exam syllabus & formats. And as always, I am proud of u, my dear... even prouder with ur progress now. ;) Well, after 4 months of being away, I sure need some adjusting back here. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it very soon. But what do I miss the most in Malaysia?

• Firstly, of course My Hazmi, Mummy & Abg... relatives & friends
• Next, the sunlight... Owh, sunshine. I sure miss u so much although I don't think I'll miss the heat just yet
• Food... hmm, the selection of food. Well, the amount too. hehe. (Shouldn't put that much emphasis on that huh)
• Shopping? Really? Hmm, dont think so
• Rain? Noooooo. We have plenty here
• What else? Driving. Yesss, coz I don't drive here. Not that I drive much at home but at least I still could once in awhile (Actually bcoz I don't drive that much at home, I miss it. If driving is what I do everyday, I don't think I'll miss it at all. Traffic congestion is baaddd in KL)

Hmm, is that all? I guess that are the major ones. Others are just petty2 things like i miss my room, my shoes which i left at home, my handbag... etc. (Is this ME typing?) The cats... I don't think so. hehe. Peace cats... ok laa... I miss u guys, too. Haha. Adolf, stay away from my man. (I hope he knows I'm joking I'm jealous of his cat... or am I? Hmm, something I should spend time thinking about. =P ) Alrite dude. Latersss

Happy 4th Anniversary

17th September 2006

4 years... it may seem short but we've been through a lot together within this period. Good times and bad times, ups and downs and this 4 wonderful months vacation has added more memories to our love diary. We celebrated our anniversary in a very romantic setting, a dinner for two in KL Tower. Overlooking the well-lit city, with slow music in the background, I could not imagine a better way of celebrating it. We treat ourselves with food from the buffet before went back home and watched Prime together.

After that, we had a talk, reflecting our relationship so far. A talk i'm glad we had. It's a great feeling to know after all this year, my love for him will never fade. Come what may, i'll always love him, forever, with all my heart. And to know he would still hold my hands through the good & the hard times. And he would never give up on me. I definitely treasure our relationship and I wanna cherish u for the rest of my life, sweetheart. Love u, darling.

A trip to Jeli - Part 2

Sunday 3rd Sept 2006
We woke up early, ready to explore KB. Hazmi needed more of his beauty sleep so stayed behind alone. All of us had our breakfast at the "White House", a place visited by the "Jalan2 Cari Makan" show, famous for the toasted self-made-bread, nasi dagang and others. Then, we headed to Pengkalan Kubor. It's shopping time.

After that, we went back to KB, packed our things and started our journey back. Hungry stomachs must be filled first so our first stop was the Gulai Kawah place. We even got to try air nira. Being the town kids we are, uncle & auntie had to explain to us what air nira is. Owh, now we know. Hehe.

Next stop was the keropok lekor center, where we shopped and ate a lot of them. When the sun was setting down, we stopped for prayer at the floating mosque. My, it's beautiful.
We continued our journey heading south until we reached Seafood Restaurant Pak Su.

After dinner, all of us was definitely full. Though we may be tired, we had to make one last stop before going straight home... Their hometown, their village. That would be the 1st time for me & abg nad. It was great, to get a feel of their childhood memories, where they played, ran and fell. The place where they learned to grow up. ~ We reached nilai at 5 a.m. & i went straight to bed.

I am touched to be given this opportunity to know them better and to be accepted as who i am. This is a great family indeed. I am thankful to get to know u guys. Thank you! =)
And Selamat Bertunang to Abg Mi & Kak Azah. Wishing both of u happiness in ur lives.

A trip to Jeli-Part 1

Friday 1st Sept 2006
This was a trip I'd been looking forward to... A trip to Hazmi's bro: Abg Mi's engagement to Kak Azah, which took place in Jeli, Kelantan. Why was I so excited about it? I got to follow their family trip all the way there... hehe. (Does that need an explanation?) AnYway, we started our journey around 9.30a.m. Uncle led the trip in his BMW, followed by Uncle Seli's Naza Chitra and us in Naza Ria. The journey took about 8 hours, with a stop for lunch near Grik. In Jeli, we stayed in 2 big bungalows. Nice place. Made of wood, cool and breezy. Upon arriving, the guys & girls were fighting of who gets the air-cond room but then, we just slept in the living room so there was no point fighting in the 1st place. It was freezing cold.

Saturday 2nd Sept 2006
Early morning, everyone else wanted to go sightseeing. Hazmi was tired from the journey and refused to follow. I, as always, don't have that much interest in shopping but can't just stayed behind with him alone. Lucky Kak Ina & Abg Nad offered to stay behind as well. So the 4 of us plus Abg Mi just went for breakfast nearby. In the afternoon, after everyone was ready looking all pretty & fabulous (hehe), we went to Kak Azah's place for the official ceremony.

The ceremony went well and the FoOd... was fantastic. Right after the ceremony, we packed our things and headed to Kota Bahru, the capital of Kelantan. After dinner, freshing up, a short rest and a tv-drama, Kak Jane, Dira, Hazmi & I went for a drive. More ppl would have followed if we went earlier, around 10p.m. or so but since we were stuck to the tv, everyone else had gone to sleep. Look what we found... m0r3 FoOdDd...
